Nov 27, 2009 Lumix, Yehey, events, food, photography
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
Sep 15, 2009 Lumix, Yehey, events, food, photography
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.

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.

Yehey! – Fish & Co.
Mar 12, 2009 Yehey, events, food, iPhone photography, photography
Today, Yehey! in cooperation with Fish & Co. held a special blogger’s event for a few who were able to make it.
Bloggers were tasked to come up with variations on fish & Co’s hottest seller — their Fish & Chips. Grouped into four different nations (India, Malaysia, Japan and the US – Philadelphia), the bloggers set out to purchase necessary ingredients from the supermarket, rush back to the resto and plate their dishes.
We had a hard time deciding which group won, as all dishes were very uniquely prepared. But in the end, Group US – Philadelphia [comprised of Melo, Eric, Rowena, Eldelweiza and Mec] came out on top with their creation, Philly Fish Steak.

[the creations]Thanks to everyone who made it to the event!
