Chef Javs Cooks for Papa’s Birthday

By | Celebrations, Foodie, For kids | 2 Comments

Lola Menchu and Javs had a good idea for Papa’s birthday!  Javier was to cook the entire dinner!  Javs loves cooking in Lola’s kicthen because he has the whole place to himself and Lola provides all the ingredients!  haha 🙂 They go shopping together all over the place- Rustan’s and Gourmet Garage

Here is the Chef in action wearing a Chef’s hat and apron! So cute!!

It’s so hard to take his photo because he gets mad at me

It was a very very good dinner, we all loved the food from beginning til end.  One day he told us he will be the first to open the first Michelin star restaurant in the Philippines!  🙂

He has been cooking this several times already and I keep telling him to repeat so he can master the dish and true enough he is perfecting many of his dishes

I taught him this before which we tried from Cibo – but he did it differently, he put cheese inside the squash flower and it was really really good

This is one of his masterpieces and everyone loved!  Turkey which he brined overnight and cooked with maple syrup and goose fat!  That’s his own invention 🙂

Javs bought Kurobota pork at Rustan’s supermarket and he made it into Tonkatsu – it was very very good!

Lola Menchu and Javs went to Salcedo market to get the fresh crabs and seabass.  WOW!!

His leche flan is also very good- he used the egg yolks which he separated from the whites which he used for the sea bass

James Birthday Celebration

By | Celebrations | No Comments

We had a very simple celebration for James’ birthday.  To make it easier for Dad, we just bring the dinner to him so we just order out and eat at home with Dad

Just to make it a but different from the normal, I set it up a bit.  Thank you to Windsor and Tiffany for the beautiful black chairs which immediately changed the mood of the dinner and gave us more room in the table rather than the usual chairs we have here
