I was advised that it was alright to leave right after the speech of Secretary Domingo if we’re really busy. I did not. I stayed till 2 pm. Nakakahiya naman, bakante na halos upuan ng mga Filipino businessmen.
I stayed till the end of the forum, after lunch.
They gave me double kasi wala ng kakain. Nahalata siguro nung waiter na matakaw ako. I couldn’t eat both. I just scooped the gelatin from the second plate.
Practically all events have either mushroom soup or pumpkin soup. Do we lack vegetable variety? I know those two are delicious, pero wala na bang iba?
Kangkong soup, ampalaya soup, dinikdik na luya soup. Iba naman kaya?
When I asked our cook what soup to serve on Chinese New Year, yan din ang suggestion nya mushroom or pumpkin soup. Dyos ko, nung maliit ako pag nagluluto ang mama ko ng kalabasa (pumpkin) nasusuka ako. Tapos ngayon pang fine dining pala sya.
My seatmate from UAE, Dr. Hayat, didn’t touch the food. I promised her that there would be sea bass, yun pala wala. Kailangan daw we chose sea bass. They never asked her. Dr. Hayat doesn’t eat beef or pork.
I was so glad the hotel didn’t serve chocolate mousse. I was so happy with the fresh mango fruit, no creamy nakaka-ek stuff.
Very good presentation.
