The gang got together for dinner this time it was a more special occassion….to celebrate the engagement of Paolo and Trina! Congratulations guys!! We are so happy for you!!!
I volunteered a new place as I received a text from Malou Fores about a new restaurant that she and her husband really liked….
We met the chef, Chef Dean. A very nice guy! He told me that he first came to the Philippines as there was a job opening in the Chinese restaurant in Legenda Hotel, Subic Bay. I was so happy because that restaurant used to be a family favorite in Subic. And now he is here cooking for Malacca. Chef Dean chose all our dishes -he wanted to serve us food for ” foodies” 🙂 and not the usual. So we left it up to him.
He did confirm that Malou has been back 4 times in a span of two weeks 🙂
We met also the Manager, Kai Palomares, who manages the place together with Wasabi which is owned by the same owner or Malacca.
Thanks to Chef Dean and Kai for a wonderful dinner. We enjoyed our meal.
The portions are very generous and good for sharing…
