| Restaurant 101 has been in operations for over a year now. The restaurant is part of the Hotel and Restaurant management school, Enderun. http://www.enderun.com.ph. We were impressed with Enderun and the quality of the facilities in the school and that such exists in our country. There are already around 300 students. We had a very good impression especially by the students who were all very formal in their suits. It is timing to have such a school in a country where the hotel and restaurant industry is booming. More power to Enderun. Note: Some photo descriptions taken from Enderun Website [email_link] |

| This is for those who requested for places to eat in Rome. Two out of the five places we ate in were recommended by our concierge and they were both very good. We preferred to eat near the hotel especially for dinner so it is not too far. |
| We did not expect to enjoy eating in Sweden, but surprisingly, everywhere we ate was really good. Fresh seafood!! Their presentation is something else, like a painting/work of art. Sometimes the plates are so big or long, I had a hard time fitting them in the photo. The hotdog on the streets especially the chorizo hotdog was delicious!!! We ate in 3 kebab grills and pizza places which seemed like a popular type of food in the area. I would not mind going back just to eat and try more of their food……YUMMY!!!

| Every Saturday is lunch with Lola Charing. We normally go to her house but today, Lola treated us at her restaurant, Sousaku. It is managed by Tita Bing Bing Santos who also manages the very popular Mezza Luna at Serendra. We ordered the basic japanese food that we always order and it was EXCELLENT! We missed the other members of the family…Tita Rose, Tito Butch and Tita Agnes, Lola Nette and Lola Nena, Marga, Gogs…… but we enjoyed anyway. |
| June 26, 2007 Paolo and Katrina Lobregat treated Lolo Benny for lunch at the German Club. Tito Rico and of course the little buddha, Xevi, was there and we were so honored to be invited as well. The German Club is a members only club and has been in existence for 101 years already. Thanks to Pao and Kat for a wonderful meal and for the great company. We should do this again…and again…and again. [email_link] |
Mike introduced the de Jesus family to a new restaurant in Salcedo Village, Sinbad’s. He knows the owner, Cheryl, who prepared our meal for the evening. It is a nice and quaint place. If you like kebabs, you will like Sinbad’s. We all enjoyed the food………and of course the company. We look forward to new discoveries all the time, so we enjoy trying new places.
[email_link]| June 9, 2007 Count on John to whip up a grandiose, extravagant and special event……especially for his better half, Keena. We missed the other members of the de Jesus family who are out of town. But enjoyed the company of Keena’s family and close friends. It was an exquisite celebration! Happy Birthday Keena!!

About a year ago, we bought our first panini maker. It is such a great machine because it is so easy to just pop in any sandwich inside and make it into a panini.
We even prepared a panini buffet lunch in one of our Sunday family lunches that we hosted. It is easy to prepare plus everyone gets to make their own panini.
Our panini station had:
Vegetables: lettuce, mushroom, salad tomato, grilled red and green peppers
Spreads: reduced fat mayonnaise, regular mayonnaise, pesto, garlic anchovy butter, garlic parmesan butter, butter, olive oil, Nutella
Deli: bacon, pastrami, turkey breast ham, chicken ham, country ham, prosciutto, Jamon de Cagayan, Swiss bacon ham
Cheeses: Gruyere, Fontina, Provolone, Mozzarella, cheddar and quesong puti
Bread choices: whole wheat slice bread, plain slice bread, foccacia, pandesal, ciabatta
Other fillings: tuna flakes, corned beef, adobo flakes
potato chips or french fries for sidings
I was not able to take photos of my buffet but my sister in law, Tina, also had her own version of the panini buffet and these are her photos.
Skies the limit what you would like to offer in your panini buffet.
I scouted around also for Ciabatta bread and these are my finds: Le Couer – P 25.00 each, Deli France -P 125.00 for a pack of 5, S & R has it for around P 70.00 for a pack of 5 and in Salcedo market, a bread vendor sells it for around P 70.00 also for a pack of 5. I recently discovered in French Baker mini ciabattas ( P 54.00 for 16 pcs. ) which is perfect for me because I like my sandwiches small. They even have it in whole wheat ( P 60.00 for 16 pcs. ) . Their regular ciabatas are square in shape and not rectangular like the others.
I also pirated a panini recipe from my cousin, Ria. She made for us this Pesto Panini which had pesto, pecan nuts and gruyere cheese. So simple to make and so yummy. My pesto version – chopped fresh basil then add olive oil, parmesan cheese and salt. Spread a lot of it on the bread, add the pecan nuts ( a few pieces scattered ) and then add the gruyere cheese. I particularly prefer gruyere as suggested by Ria. TRY IT!
