=========================
I had lunch recently at the new (in its third re-incarnation)
Filipino restaurant, called Golden Cuisine this time around.

The menu sounded promising: pan de sal, lumpia, empanaditas, adobo,
caldereta, lechon, tocino, milkfish, pancit, and puto but the
execution was bland with a lot of Chinese and Canadian dishes
(french fries!) thrown in. To be fair I went to a lunch buffet and I
will go back for a supper from the menu before giving up on it.

But I fear this one will go down the tubes just like its
predecessors.

           PASTRY:
     14 oz Package of double-crust

           FILLING:
      1 tb Vegetable or corn oil

      5    Chopped hard-boiled eggs
      1 c  Chopped sweet pickles
 
  Flatten pastry to a thickness of 1/8 inch.  Cut into 4-inch
  squares. (If you are using wonton wrappers, you don't have to do
  this.  They're already cut for you.).  Set aside.
  
  In a medium skillet, heat oil.  Saute garlic, onion, and tomatoes.
  Cook until garlic is brown and onions turn transparent.  Add veal,
  pork and chicken.  Season with salt and pepper.  Cook for 20 to 25
  minutes, until meat is done.  Add eggs and pickles.  Cook for 5
  minutes longer.  Allow mixture to cool.
  
  Preheat oven to 400 F.  Fill each piece of dough with a spoonful
  of the mixture. Fold to form a triangle.  Wet edges with water and
  seal. Arrange on a cookie sheet and bake the pastries for 25 to
  30 minutes.
