Since I got home last saturday this is my first time going online. Our internet antennae was broken due to extreme wind cause by typhoon Glenda that hit the northern part of the Philippines several weeks ago.
Needless to say, our internet service provider should change their company name from SMART WIRELESS to SMART HOPELESS!
Going to their service center offices was useless, I was being told that they only accept payments and new connection application, complaints and other matters will only be entertained on their remote offices.
Their remote office is much worse, each customer needs to wait for 2-3 hours for their number to be called. Most of them have been there for several times. Unfortunately, I don’t have that much time to wait.
I hope I will find a better internet service provider in my area. Anyways, enough will all my whinnings!
Thank God I live in the Phillipines where PisoNet is just around the corner. Never heard about it? It is a very convenient way of going online. All you need is just ONE (1) PESO to go online for Three (3) Minutes.
Just insert 1 Peso into the machine and a timer start counting down from 3 minutes. Just keep more Peso coin handy and will be done with everything you need to do online. 44 Pesos = 1 U.S. Dollar.
Welcome to the Phillippines!!!

Hello Rose,
I’m sorry for the delay of my reply, been losing internet connection since morning.
Anyway, it should not be burnt. I believed that I mentioned on my post that I’m using Electric Stove.
And if you’re using Gas Stove, 20minutes might be to long. Just keep in mind that your sight and smell are one your best gauge to determine if your food is ready.
What I share is just a guidelines to help you achieve a good finish product. But this is Life, at least you can try it again.
One more tip; -The garlic chilli oil continues to get cooked even you take it out of the heat. Just keep on cooking and don’t forget to enjoy it!
All the best,

Maraming salamat sa iyong feedback sa aking recipe. At ngayon siguradong hinde ka na mauubusan ng stock. 🙂
Tip ko lang din sayo na gumawa ka ng marami kapag mura ang presyo ng bawang at sili. Tutal naman ay hinde nasisira ang Garlic Chilli Oil.
At idagdag ko na rin, napakinggan ko kanina sa Radyo program ni Pangga Ruth Abao sa DWIZ na marami palang good health benefits ang dulot ng pagkain ng Garlic Chilli Oil!
Kaya enjoy lang sa pagkain dahil good naman pala ito sa kalusugan natin.
Bon Appetite!!!

Salamat sa tanong mo Alvin,
Honestly hinde ko pa nasubukan ikumpara ung lasa ng chili paste ng Chowking sa Garlic Chili Oil recipe na naka-post dito.
At dahil nga hinde ko naman intensyon na habulin ang lasa ng chili paste ng Chowking, sa palagay ko ay malayo ang lasa.
Hope that my answer helps you!
Please do give me a feedback if ever you have a chance to compare it!

Oh yeah! I love this type of question! Hope my answer doesn’t sound stupid too! 😉
I never had any explosion while cooking this Garlic Chilli Oil. But I would like to inform you that we are using Electic Stove onboard. Gas Stove will differ on how high your heat will be. But I don’t think it will ever explode. Anyway, you can always lower the heat when you know it is to high or you can take away your cooking pan when you notice it is already burning!
Keep safe always and enjoy cooking! 🙂

Oh dear, the typhoon didn’t even make our news. I hope that means it was minor on the Philipino scale of typhoons. Enjoy your break.
As for that sauce, if you cut down the amount of oil, it COULD be okay calorie-wise. Just don’t use too much. I’m on a search for ways to gratuitously use garlic. This could be a winner.

The typhoon was mostly strong winds, its not that bad compared to previous super typhoon that bring us floods.
About the quantity of oil, I do agree on your advise. My only problem is my crew complains that the sauce is a bit dry whenever I use 250ml. or less. But for home use it is of course better to use less oil.
