By Heart2Heart | Foodie | No Comments

Gumamelas get together at Tina’s place!! Her flat with a beautiful garden!! Love the living room! most especially the framed embroidered silk which she got from her Grandfather Carlos P. Romulo. It was given to him by the Korean government! How priceless is that!! #H2HHomes #H2HArt

From the wife of Douglas Mac Arthur!

Love this piece of furniture!! Antique from her grandmother Beth Day Romulo! the-gumamelas-party-kitchen-party-16 Our host for lunch – Gumamela Maritina @maritinaromulo She served us yummy food from her business venture The Party Kitchen @thepartykitchenph

Previous entry: The Party Kitchen ( TPK ) October 25, 2016

No hassle, just order and they will deliver. She says “The secret to the success of The Party Kitchen is a chef certified by The California Culinary Academy in 1991 – Chef Ging Carsi Cruz. She creates an array of dishes for TPK and oversees the food quality to assure that all customers who order from The Party Kitchen have an enjoyable and memorable food experience.” Aside from the Party Kitchen, Maritina has a Romulo Cafe @romulocafeph in London with her cousins Enzo and Sandy Squillantini – her same partners in the Party Kitchen. She’s also a Pilates instructor and does stage acting and Voice talent on the side #H2HGumamelas #H2HPartyPlatters #ThePartyKitchen Chicken wrap! One of the favorites of the Gumamelas Sisig wrap – Yum! This whole platter is around P 500.00 – what great value #ThePartyKitchen #H2HPartyPlatters #H2HSisig

Vegetable ukoy for vegetarian Gumamela Maritoni! But we all loved it. It’s a new item on the list LUNCH
the-gumamelas-party-kitchen-party-19 Salt and Pepper Squid – Just make sure to eat all the fried dishes right away so it does not get cold Pad thai! What generous portions! This is half of a medium order ( P 575.00 ) Tofu Porcini Mushroom sisig! Yum! Eat it right away so it is still crispy. This was for vegetarian Maritoni but we all liked it P 250.00 for all of these chicken satay Max the 9 year old beagle of Gumamela @maritinaromulo So cute

Max is a champion dog and has even done commercials. Today he ate part of our dessert – chocolate salted caramel cake while we were busy taking group photos 🙂 and Tina was so worried because as we all know chocolates are bad for dogs. Anyway it was a very small piece so Max will be fine #H2HGumamelas #H2HAnimals The Salted Caramel chocolate cake which complicated our potluck computation and which Max ate and grabbed form the coffee table and Tina panicked! It was so funny how we had to compute our potluck for lunch! Long funny story….but glad how things are fair among friends whether big or small amounts

Christmas gifts!! haha!! I love it that Tina distributed all the leftovers and divided it equally among all of us

The Party Kitchen (TPK)

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | No Comments

Congratulations to my friends Maritina Romulo, Enzo and Sandy Squillantini of the Party Kitchen! The same owners as Romulo Cafe.

The Party Kitchen (TPK) is a food delivery service that brings chef created dishes to your office, home, and gatherings. Their menu has a variety of Asian favorites (IE. Chap Chae, Pad Thai, Chicken Satay,) pasta dishes (IE. Pesto, Baked Macaroni, Spaghetti & Meatballs), and Filipino fare (IE. fresh lumpiang ubod, Pancit Canton, Beef Tadyang Kare –Kare, Lechon Roll).The secret to the success of The Party Kitchen is a chef certified by The California Culinary Academy in 1991 – Chef Ging Carsi Cruz. She creates an array of dishes for TPK and oversees the food quality to assure that all customers who order from The Party Kitchen have an enjoyable and memorable food experience.Ging Carsi Cruz was the Chef of the food concessionaire at the American Embassy and has worked for Heritage Foods (Racks chain of restaurants and Formula Sprorts Café). She is also behind Mexijunction at the Salcedo Saturday and Legazpi Markets.

Chef Ging’s dishes do not only satisfy discerning palettes, they also provide one with a “healthier option”. For example, TPK’s Sisig Lechon Wrap and Lechon Sisig are made from pork belly (instead of innards), fresh & prime ingredients are used daily, and base sauces are made from scratch.Michelle Pantoja- Picornell, who was the owner of a successful catering business in Quezon City , 4^th Street Kitchen, immediately noticed that TPK does not skimp on ingredients and that oil is not re-used. Michelle orders from TPK regularly for her business meetings and when she wants to impress guests at home.

The Party Kitchen has also become popular with yoga practitioners who order vegetarian noodle dishes in advance (IE. Pesto, Pomodoro, Pad Thai, Canton and Chap Chae). Tofu Shitake Mushroom Sisig is also a favorite.For those who live in apartments with smaller kitchens and for those who do not have time to cook, The Party Kitchen has been a godsend. Busy actors, Art Acuña and Jake Macapagal enjoy both the convenience and flavors of TPK. The Party Kitchen food delivery service makes meals at home and entertaining easy for them.

The Party Kitchen accepts orders via telephone (519-1111) and via private message on Facebook: thepartykitchen.ph Advanced orders are appreciated for larger orders. Their delivery trays are also made out of ecological materials and come in Small (2-4 Pox), Medium (6-8 Pax) and large (10-12 Pax).

The Party Kitchen also participates in any activity as a food partner. Aside from delivering quality food to your table, TPK wants all customers to have a convenient, fast, fun, and memorable experience with them.
