Chili’s Blog Event

Chili’s has just made their delicious burgers even tastier with their exciting new line of Deluxe Big Mouth Burgers — mouth watering mounds of pure goodness, true to the quality of the Chili’s dining experience. And yesterday, we had a few bloggers on hand to try out Chili’s new offerings.

Here are a few photos from the event.

Sure, you gave me a choice. None of them were really desirable, but I had to go with one.

Anchor Connoiseur Duels

Yehey, in cooperation with Anchor held a special blogger cook off yesterday, at the Magsaysay Institute of Hospitality & Culinary Arts. The Connoisseur Duel pitted the cooking skills and imagination of the bloggers, given a short time limit with provided ingredients to plate a whole 3 course meal.

The judges on board:

1. Dorothy Ferreira, well respected pastry chef and culinary teacher.
2. Juan Miguel Borja, Senior Chef Instructor at MIHCA
3. Leah Barin, Food Service Manager for Fonterra.

At the end of the event, the judges were fairly impressed with the dishes. But more importantly, everyone had fun in the kitchen and even got to sample the food that they had slaved over.

Here are some photos from the event:

Texas Roadhouse Grill

Just a few hours ago, I had an extremely fulfilling meal — and I was just taking bites in between schmoozing with the bloggers and resto management.

Texas Roadhouse Grill, with the participation of Pepsi held a sumptuous event at the TRG El pueblo branch last night and offered a wide array of dishes. From soups to salads from surf to turf, and of course, the evening was capped off with a delicious bit of dessert.

The meal commenced with a Tortilla Soup: a hearty starter packed with bits of chicken, corn and ham topped with slivers of crisp and crunchy tortillas. The soup in itself is quite filling, with all of the ingredients packed into a small bowl. Those that are into the Tex-Mex taste, this is a definite must-try.

Of course, what are starters without appetizers? To satisfy the growing hunger, the bloggers were also served the Jesse James Sampler — a platter of buffalo wings and cheese fritters just to whet the appetites.

isaw time

Today, we had a bit of free time. As a small reward (for a long week) we headed over to grab some artery clogging, carcinogen filled isaw goodness.

Billy Rock

Last June 26, amidst very little fanfare, I was treated to another Bistro experience. BillyRock, the newest bar and restaurant hangout in Streetscape Shangri-la Plaza (and the [Bistro] Groups newest local offering), held a welcoming / opening party to celebrate their brand new establishment.

And much like you would expect from a Bistro Group outlet, the quality of the food, service and drinks was top notch — with a seemingly endless variety of choices. And as a guest for that evening, I was treated to a generous offering of free-flowing drinks and order til you drop food.
