We were surprised when one day Chef Javs said he wanted to prepare a degustation! He must have been inspired by something for him to do this. He wanted the whole family to come but just a few could make it on short notice. This was five weeks ago so it is a delayed post. He did not want me to post it because he feels it’s not so good, but I told him that it was very good especially for his first time.
I went behind the scenes to check on my Chef 🙂
Appetizer – Foie gras pate with apple – This looks very simple but it was really good
Assistant William grilling the chicken yakitori 🙂 in the garden
He comes out to explain each dish
Our first dish, Potato tortilla with potato foam and crispy potatoes and green onions. He used the whipper to make the foam – so you can say this is molecular gastronomy 🙂
When Mom saw this dish, she rushed to bring out her caviar and added it 🙂
Chicken Yakitori cooked in three different ways – teriyaki, with truffle salt and soy sauce
Chef Javs checking on his brother making sure he is enjoying 🙂 Manong is one of his biggest fans
Mushroom pasta with Bryan Flannery Dry Aged Rib Eye
Cheering for Chef Javs!! We are so proud of our little chef! 
Salmon with Cream cheese in Phyllo pastry – it was a big big portion – we told the Chef that he should make his portions smaller 🙂 He doesn’t realize that we do not eat as much as he does! 🙂
Chef Javs has so many assistants in the kitchen! 🙂

A very cute birthday celebration once more by our friend, Grace, for her daughter Alessi. Just like Heart2Heart, Alessi loves Golden Spoon Yogurt which tastes like ice cream 🙂 and the color pink! Happy Birthday little Princess!
I love the many details Grace put into coming up with a very nice celebration

The kids had a chance to decorate their own cake
Aside from all those sweets at the ice cream shoppe, there was wonderful dessert buffet by Grace who loves sweets
I liked that there was a different form of entertainment for the kids by My Masterpiece Movement. Check out the video for some clips from the party

Even on vacation abroad, the kids get bored! Especially boys who don’t like to do much shopping! So we enrolled Javier in Tennis Camp in Stanford University. It’s a good thing the Chef likes sports too! 🙂
It was a 4 day camp for 4 hours each day. There was a camp that included boarding but it did not fit our schedule.
You would think Americans are big, but Javier was the biggest among all the kids in Camp
There’s still nothing better than one on one instruction but we wanted Javier to learn to be with other kids
Free Gatorade on campus!

Thank you Claudia Wilson-Tambunting, Governor and Chairman of Barangay Forbes Park ( Environment committee ), for inviting me to the Forbes Furry Fiesta! I enjoyed so much!!
It was nice to see the villagers with their pets
All the pets were looking their best 🙂 All groomed and dressed up
Booths who were selling pet products
Free merienda from the food booths
The highlight of the even was Kim Atienza sharing with us all his exotic pets!!
Everyone was crowding over the table and all the kids were seriously watching and with full attention. They were not even scared to go close to the reptiles and even held them. My Daddy would have enjoyed this! I told him next time to bring his pets! 🙂
A donation was made to the foundation of Kim – The Philippine Eagle Foundation and CARA – the foundation that helps Forbes Park and Dasma with stray cats
The last part was the pet contest
The judges – Tita Cindy Velez, Tita Marit Yuchengco and Lisa Periquet
