My Kitchen

This is a long overdue post.
It was suppose to start with..
"Last weekend, Mom, M and I went to the salon to get our hair done.
Dad tagged along.
After hours of blow drying, combing, gossip and laughter from my stylist and a couple of check ups from my dad,
We felt hunger.
Having heard of My Kitchen by Chef Chris (Yes! we are not talking about my actual kitchen or my culinary talents)
We all decided to eat there." 

I've been thinking of the best way to share this experience for the past weeks but I can't seem to find the right words that's why I'll let the photos talk for this one (not the best quality of photos but I promise its the best food ever!)

Behind these doors is one of the best dining experience I've had.

Pumpkin and Carrot Cream Soup.
Topped with cream, croutons and fresh herbs

Spaghetti con Frutti di Mare
Fresh Salmon, Dorado, Snapper, Prawns and Mussels in light virgin olive oil, tomato, olives and capers
Burst of flavours if you ask me.

This was my favourite!
Its called "The Original"
The Chef's very own creation a fine crisp dough layered with a blend of five different cheese and herbs, perfected with one bowl of arugula and alfalfa sprouts.
We ordered half and half of their best sellers.

 

Mom wanted to try the Tender Ox Tongue in rich wine sauce with tomatoes and herbs.

So we did. 

It was served with Parmesan Polenta and soft boiled cabbage slices.

 

One of the best meals I've ever had!

You can find them inside Oasis Park Hotel. 

1032-34 Belen St. Paco, Manila

My Kitchen by Chef Chris website is here. 

Call ahead if you plan to go.

I promise! You won't be disappointed.

C2 Classic Cuisine

It has been a few weeks.
I know.
Anyway, Dad, Mom, M and I tried this restaurant a few days back.
Its called C2.
Its a Filipino Cuisine Inspired restaurant with twists in the menu.

We ordered their best seller (plus M and I love Tilapia fish)

Seared Tilapia in Coconut emulsion.
Tender Tilapia fillets served with pineapple salsa and creamy coconut sauce.
Eat together the fillet, potato shavings (i reckon), pineapple and top with the coconut sauce.
Burst of flavours in one bite!

Sizzling Bulalo Steak.

Tender beef shank smothered with creamy bulalo sauce with sweet corn and native petchay.
Beef lovers - this is your treat!

The fish and the beef are best matched with..

Dilis Rice.
Crispy baby dilis with annatto oil, stir fried into garlic fried rice.

For Dessert...

 And...

The first is Maja Mais con Yelo.
Corn, Milk plus some secret ingredient blended together and served with a straw instead of the traditional spoon.

The second one is Bibingka Souffle.
Light and fluffy blend of coconut custard, salted egg, quezo de bola, and toasted coconut.
As my mom put it "Yummy in my tummy!"
