Top-Notch French Dinner With The Palmas

-


This was what I had... and everything was superb!

CHILLED DUNGENESS CRAB SALAD
With shavings of young vegetables, lobster infused vinaigrette, and lobster fondant with caviar

LOCH DUART SCOTTISH SALMON
Parmesan and potato crunch, porcini flan, broccolini, sauce colbert

SEARED FILET MIGNON WITH A LOBSTER TRUFFLED MAC & CHEESE "EN BRIOCHE"
Accented with a red wine, shallot, thyme bordelaise sauce

This is what their website says of Chef Hubert Keller...

"Hubert Keller is known best for his world-renowned restaurants, Fleur de Lys (San Francisco) Fleur by Hubert Keller (Las Vegas), and Burger Bar (San Francisco, Las Vegas, and St. Louis). Having delighted the palates of his peers, food writers, and restaurant critics alike with his imaginative, modern French cuisine, he has received numerous awards and is regarded as one of America’s most talented chefs. His influence extends beyond his restaurant kitchens to the millions of people he reaches through his cookbooks The Cuisine of Hubert Keller (Ten Speed Press), Burger Bar, Build Your Own Ultimate Burger (Wiley), and the forthcoming Souvenirs: Memories, Stories, and Recipes from My Life (Andrews McMeel, Fall 2012), and media appearances including his own Secrets of a Chef cooking show (PBS), and Top Chef, Top Chef Masters, Top Chef All Stars, and Top Chef Just Desserts (Bravo)."

Top-notch didn't I tell you? And they were pretty pricey too! So we extend our heartfelt thanks to Rhanee and Claudio for this exceptional gastronomic experience.

Angels Are All Around Us

by Junnie Metro Manila is still wet. Some parts are still with knee-deep waters. One thing we have going for us is that we have strong faith that this too shall pass, and that the Filipino will rise above. It is October already and it seemed that no one noticed that we arrived Manila last Monday at the heels of the weekend Typhoon Ondoy visited the country. This week we celebrated the feast of the Archangels - Raphael, Michael and Gabriel, and last Thursday, we celebrated the feast of our Guardian Angels. What a whole week of heroic deeds from Pinoys helping their kababayans, and for all the angels in our lives. :)

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions.

I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix.

Pero sa totoo lang, after a long day at work or from school, it's always nice to come home to a clean house.  Ang sarap magpahinga sa maayos na kabahayan pagkatapos ng mahabang araw  di ba?
