We are so blessed! We finally had Chef Noel Dela Rama @ndelarama cook for our special occasion a few weeks ago. I’m checking on him as he is preparing
“My strengths are mainly seasonal farm to table food. So I basically base my menus on my market finds of the day. I am inspired by what I see when I go to the market . That is my strength as a chef. ” Chef Noel comes only twice a year ( based in New York ) since he’s a Visiting chef at CCA Manila so he’s here til September and will be back in December. Do give him a call if you want him to cook for you too (0977) 150 9110 #H2HChefs #ChefNoeldelaRama
And because he is also a teacher, he is so organised!! He has drawings on how he will present the dishes 😉
Dad is always happy to meet people from his hometown. Chef Noel is Ilonggo 🙂
