Back at Enderun which has become so much a part of Heart2Heart. Heart2Heart has many friends that are family already here in the website. H2H loves all the people at Enderun 🙂
This time we had a cooking demonstration and a dinner 🙂 
There is the Big Boss at Restaurant 101, Chef Thomas waving 🙂 
So happy to see rockstar Chef Thomas Wenger last night!! Almost every year he invites me over and updates me on what he is doing at Restaurant 101 in Enderun. He is the Managing Director of Food and Beverage and a Senior Culinary Lecturer at Enderun. This guy is so accomplished yet he remains simple and humble! He is well respected in the food industry not only in the Philippines but all over the world by renowned chefs. I am so privileged to know him. He has been a chef for 30 years already! He is Swiss so he started in his own hometown, then later on moved and worked as Sous Chef in New York and Australia. He then moved to Hong Kong in 1991 as Sous Chef at The Excelsior, The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and in 1992 moved to The Oriental in Singapore with the same Mandarin Oriental Group. In 1995 he came to the Philippines and was Executive Sous Chef at the Shangri-La Hotel Manila, moved again to Hong Kong in 1997 as Executive Chef of the prestigious Hong Kong Jockey Club and then in 2001 Executive Chef of the Le Royal Meridien Bangkok & Le Meridien President Bangkok. In 2003, he went back to the Philippines as Executive Chef at the Mandarin Oriental till 2008 and then moved to Enderun College. Chef Wenger also has a recruitment company and provides employment for chefs to many of the best hotels and restaurant. More power to you Chef and May you help many up and coming chefs become as good and talented as you are
Chef Thomas was very excited to announce that the new market menu which will last for three weeks at Restaurant 101 was prepared by his chefs. Usually it is he who prepares the menu and they just follow. But this time, he let his chefs come up with the menu and prepare it. What great idea! Chef Thomas also told me that he likes hiring the graduates from Enderun so that he can help jumpstart their career and also so that the first entry in their resume will show that they worked in the school where they graduated from. ????
So come on over and try the new Market Menu ???? prepared by the Enderun Alumni. This will go on for about three weeks. You can choose to have a 2 course for P 780.00 or a 3 course for P 980.00 or a 4 course for P 1,180.00.

That evening we went to the Culinary Ampitheater ( WOW!) of Enderun and three Enderun Alumni’s demonstrated three dishes from the new Market Menu. So we did not only get to eat it, but we saw how they made it 🙂
Chef Marco Bangit started with the delicious white bean soup! I am not a big fan of beans, but this dish was just so delicious!!
Chef Justin Baradas demonstrated the salmon dish which was so unique he coloured it pink 🙂 it looks like Tuna 🙂 Delicious!
