Another foodie evening with JC!  We took our friend, Dan, along to enjoy the cooking of JC 

Chorizo spread for appetizer 

JC made a Pork Bone in Loin ( usually cut up into pork chops ) 

into a Pork Rib Roast which is like Roast beef style! 

It was really really good and tasty! 

And he cooked pasta with bolognese sauce! YUMMY!

Lolo Benny hosted a wonderful welcome dinner for Tito Mandy and Tita Chi

Dad and Mom introduced them to the rest of the family and now they are friends with all of us 🙂 

Lolo prepared Filipino food since for sure they miss having it being away from home

We ate in Tsumura for dinner, have not been here in a long time. Apparently, It is owned by the same owner of Kuretake in Powerplant Mall, Rockwell. Which is why the food seems almost the same… and it’s good 🙂

Because I enjoyed La Piadina,

Tour Italy with La Piadina September 26, 2010 

I invited my brother, Quito and Pam to join and they invited my other brother, Jun Jun and Margs to join!  WHAT A GOOD IDEA!! 🙂 When is our next dinner??

The place was really full and we were lucky to get a table.  The food was really good

We liked most especially the risotto.  For around  P300 plus you can have good risotto at La Piadina.  We ordered three kinds and loved them all!! 

and two kinds of pizza, also yummy!

The girls got together again.  We are trying to make this more often by doing it every other month!

Thanks to Des for choosing this restaurant!! I love it! It used to be the Chinese restaurant, Golden Pavilion,  in Heritage Hotel in Malate.  They are on soft opening and they are giving 20% discount now!!!  So hurry and try their yummy food at a discount

Look for Leah who will definitely take care of you, she is great!  And of course the chef himself, International Master Chef Kavino( IMCKavino ) ! 🙂 

Complimentary appetizer 

Stir Fried Mixed Crunchy Vegetables 

I love this Takoyaki dish!!!! You just hold it and fold it and eat it with your hands like a sandwich

Pork ala Peking!  Its their version of peking duck but pork inside

Aomori Hot Prawn Salad – YUMMY also!!!!!!!!!!!!!I always order this in chinese restaurants, this is a bit different with the crunchy green seaweed I think it is

Cheesy Shrimp Bomb!!! YUMMY!!!!!!!! Shrimp balls with melted cheese inside!! It has also the crunchy seaweed on the sides 

 I am looking forward to coming back and trying the other dishes!!!!!! I like it because it is fusion and not the usual chinese food. Love the twist! 

make sure to ask for their LOOK BOOK so you can see photos of the dishes

 Great chefs traditionally save dessert for last. But for one night only, last February 18, Enderun’s executive pastry chef Andreas Gillar turns tradition on its head, by presenting a decadent seven course feast, inspired by the principles, techniques and ingredients of the dessert course. I enjoyed the meal tremendously!  The foie gras macaron was my favorite dish!!

Guests were treated to a lavish seven-course dinner called Dessert Comes First:

Foie Gras Macaron, Parma Ham, Arugula-Mango Salad,

White Chocolate Vinaigrette; Essence of Oxtail, Cep Mushrooms, Aged Sherry, Puff Pastry Dome;

Quenelle of Deep Sea Scallops, Crustacean Broth, Saffron Espuma;

Tamarind Champagne Sherbet;

Roast Venison Loin, Pancetta and Spinach Spaetzle, Bone Marrow Glaze, Candied Chestnuts;

Baked Camembert Cheese in Phyllo Pastry, Red Currant Chutney.

The Pastry Chef’s Grand Dessert Buffet also draws attention to Chef Andreas Gillar’s culinary expertise.

A native of Austria, executive pastry chef Andreas Gillar honed his expertise with close to twenty years of international experience. He acquired his education in the School for Pastry and Bakery in Baden, after which he graduated as Master Confectioner at the Master School for Pastry in Vienna. He worked as pastry chef consultant at Hotel Caravelle in Saigon, then as executive pastry chef for Café Wien in Jakarta. He was corporate pastry chef as well of Hashoo Group, which owns and operates two Marriott Hotels and seven Pearl Continental Hotels in Karachi, Pakistan. His most recent post prior to joining Enderun was as executive pastry chef of The Peninsula Manila.

Restaurant 101 is the application restaurant of Enderun Colleges, which is home to Southeast Asia’s leading undergraduate culinary arts program. 101’s seasonal menus are conceived by Enderun’s world-renowned faculty to showcase the techniques of traditional French cuisine, the bold flavors of the Asian market and a commitment to innovating with fresh, sustainable local ingredients. The restaurant’s stylish interiors evoke the casual elegance of a contemporary Parisian bistro, while the student wait staff, working under the watchful eyes of the College’s food and beverage faculty, brings freshness and unique charm to the 101 experience.
