Pork loin chops with cream cheese sauce
Igme lashed through northern Philippines today. Despite the distance, we were severely affected. Electric power went out around lunch time and was restored around 8.00 p.m.
On schooldays, I don’t usually cook anything complicated for lunch. It’s usually a simple vegetable dish with just myself and the househelp at home. With the househelp gone for a short vacation (to see an herbolario), I would have opted for a sandwich. But, classes were suspended because of the typhoon. The kids wouldn’t have settled for a sandwich especially since they already had sandwiches for breakfast. It had to be a real lunch. I had to put down F. Sionil Jose’s Tree which I was re-reading for, I think, the third time in so many years.
Pork lomo, or tenderloin, takes a very short time to cook. Trimmed correctly, it is fatless. To keep it from drying up during pan frying, keep the heat very high to brown the outside without overcooking the inside.
The cream cheese sauce is actually a variation of the basic white sauce. I just added small cubes of quickmelt cheese towards the end of cooking and let them melt in the sauce. It’s a hit with my kids. They were actually pouring the sauce over their rice.
The following recipe is good for three persons.

hi ms connie! i cooked this yesterday for lunch. i don’t know what else to do with the porkloin that my in-laws sent us all the way from baguio…so i searched your site for pork loin or lomo recipes. I was about to try the asado but i have little time left for lunch so i opted to cook this one. medyo hesitant lang ako about the cream cheese sauce. alam mo na husband does not want to try other “lasa” kung ano nakasanayan yun lang ang gusto. anyway, niluto ko pa rin. kung ayaw man nila ng cheese sauce…they can still eat the fried pork di ba. aba…nagustuhan ang sauce! naubos ang fried pork…pati fried chiken -ni-dip sa cheese sauce. thanks, thanks to you!
may natirang cheese sauce…naalala ko may binili akong tortilla..nilagay ko dun and added some garlic for a cheese and garlic quesadilla (ala mexicali kuno) hehe. and ham naman sa iba para cheese and ham quesadilla. naubos ang sauce. nilagay ko sa freezer for my son’s baon in school.
hi hellow sarap ng mga nakahndang potahi sa mesa….sing sarap ng nag loto…….sana palaging ganyan ang olam ko araw araw…….
Hi Connie! do you have the chicken or cheese quesadilla recipe? Mala mexican…he!he!he! How about salsa do you have too ba?
