I am now a chef, thanks to the Facebook Application called Facebook. I have never played any game at FB before so I was quite surprised how addicting this can be. I even “cook†my dishes around my waking and working schedule and try hard not to decorate every now and then. If only they offer exterior shutters as part of their window options I would choose a great red color similar to Spanish houses!
Here is what you can expect from me this week:
1. Recipes (Chicken and Pasta)
2. Meal Planning
3. Grocery Shopping and Coupon Hunting
4. Turbo Broiler Finds
5. Food Experience: RSM Lutong Bahay
We had a pretty eventful weekend filled with good food, but moreso, better company (family is the best!) so it will be a great SHARE week!
After completing a great weekend full with festive and delicious meals, I was not able to get a good night’s sleep because I was scratching every now and then. It seems bed bugs have invaded my parent’s bed where we stayed for the night. I need to make sure that bed bug eradication is on top of their list this week – bed bugs have a tendency to spread to pillows and couches so they need to take drastic preventive measures!
I blogged about the Crispchon (Crispy Lechon) and Hinulab sa Asing Dagat on previous posts. Here is my last installment for La Mesa Grill.
Here is how the Crispchon looks like in a wrap:
This is the La Mesa Combo (P345)which already contains grilled clams, prawns, mussels, blue marlin belly, squid, chicken leg quarter, pork spareribs BBQ.

Lamesa Grill: A tableful of meaty treats
If you want to pig out on good old native food in a delightful new setting, there’s one hot place to go: Lamesa Grill at Mall of Asia.
Crispchon (crispy lechon) is one of Lamesa’s signature dishes — actually, it was invented by Senator Kiko Pangilinan, one of the owners of the place. Lechon (Spanish word for suckling pig that’s slowly roasted over charcoal) is a traditional staple in Pinoy fiestas or celebrations.
“Our crispchon is boiled in herbs and spices before it’s deep-fried in our big customized fryer,†says Beth Cañete, Lamesa Grill manager. “We also have our chili garlic crispchon, which is sauteed in garlic and chili.â€
A whole crispchon (4.5 to 5.5 kilos) costs P3,250. It’s eaten like you’d eat Peking duck. Take some bitesize strips of pork skin and meat, put them on a pandan crepe with wansuy, cucumber, onion leeks, and roll it up.
Lamesa beefs up its menu with its asadong bulalo (beef bone marrow sauteed in asado sauce, P265). It’s got its own version of the ever-popular sisig — in fact, 15 different sisig variants. With its sisig festival ongoing until Sept. 30, you get more of your favorite sisig at 10 percent less the original price.
For more cool savings, try Lamesa Grill’s set menus, good for 10 to 12 persons. For instance, Set A Menu, priced at P3,15, consists of two molo soups, two servings of baked mussels, two servings of boneless hito, two servings of Lamesa combo, two servings of binagoongang baboy, two servings of kalderetang bulalo, two servings of pancit palabok, and 12 servings of plain rice.
Indeed, at Lamesa Grill, you get more than a mouthful.

I am looking for business cards online where I can order for a friend who is starting her cake and pastries business soon. It’s Christmas season and she wants to take advantage of the many orders that will be coming her way. Since her biz is fairly new, she would be enclosing her business card and a brochure of her pastry offerings to every order that she sends out.
This one is nice and would suit her business well:
Homemade Freshness
I saw it over at 123Print. Personally though, I’d like her company name to just be the sold attraction on the card.
Or these:
They say appearances are everything – and presentation is key.
Who would not want to eat these? (You see veggies form part of everything!)
My daughter will love eating these – especially Sid of Ice Age, Pooh Bear, Spongebob Squarepants, Nemo, Hello Kitty and the piggy.
These are sandwiches that were created by Funky Lunch, a site dedicated to encouraging kids to try something new and fun (and healthy!)
The other fun lunch option that is gaining wide-spread popularity are the amazing bento boxes.
“O-bento’ is what the Japanese call a packed meal, usually lunch. Bento boxes have internal dividers, and sometimes several stacked layers, so different kinds of food sit in their own little compartments. The whole thing is usually wrapped together with chopsticks in a cloth or special bag, and the goal is to make the whole package as attractive as possible – from considering the colour combinations of the food and presenting and garnishing it as neatly and artfully as you can, to co-ordinating the box, chopsticks and wrapper, and any other items like paper napkins, knife and fork or spoon, drink flask or thermos.â€
Everything is going BENTO!
Just look at all the images from a Flickr pool!
