TODAY WITH FRANCIS | RELISH RESTAURANT SEGMENT TAPING

Relish Restaurant | Quezon City

PORK BELLY WITH SIDE SALAD. Good for Two. ;)

This restaurant is the most photographed among all the other restaurants we visited. Every nook is really picture perfect. Can't help but to take pictures. :D

RELISH ROASTED CHICKEN WITH TARTAR SAUCE. What i remember from this dish is the herbed rice. It's really good. Actually everything they served was really to die for. All the meats are tender and juicy. :)

This signage will welcome you to a super Relish experience :D :D

i love the font and i love the quotes you'll find in the restaurant. :)
We had been to Romulo's in Makati and Cerchio along Quezon City, both restaurants are owned by the famous beautiful couple Yong and Ivy Nieva (Ivy is the popular interior designer, remember the Almario sisters?)

For the third time, we're going to feature one of their newest restaurants called RELISH. It's located along Tomas Morato in Quezon City, it's very close to ABS-CBN thus it explains why you can catch some celebrities popping up in Relish.

If you had been to Cerchio, Relish is just beside that black and white themed restaurant.

One of the surprises during our taping was one of the assistant chef is a Bicolana. So while we're prepping up, we had a little chat with her. Too bad, because we're too busy, I wasn;t able to take a photo with her.

So, here you go, another restaurant I recommend you to visit while in Metro Manila :)


I love their placemats. It's not paper, feels sturdy :)

writing the spiels at Relish :D

Outside lounge. This will also serve as waiting area when the restaurant is jam-packed :D

Girly stuff. How cute. :D

mini cakes on display

Everywhere you look, you can see nice stuff. Ms. Ivy bought these cute stuff from her travels abroad :)

PASTA WITH TRUFFLE OIL :)My first time to taste food with truffle oil. :D 



So, what's a truffle oil?

According to Wikipedia:


Truffle oil (olive oil with Tuber melanosporum).
Truffle oil is a modern culinary ingredient, used to impart the flavor and aroma of truffles to a dish. Most truffle oils are not made from actual truffles, but are a synthetic product that combines a thioether (2,4-dithiapentane), one of numerous aromas or odorants found in truffles, with an olive oil or grapeseed oil base.[1] As with pure olive oils, these range from clear to cloudy, and yellow to green.[2]
Truffle oil is commonly used to make "truffle fries," which feature French fries tossed in truffle oil, Parmesan cheese, pepper, and sometimes other ingredients. Some pasta dishes and whipped dishes such as mashed potatoes or deviled eggs incorporate truffle oil.[2]
Truffle oil, available in all seasons and steady in price, is popular with chefs (and diners) because it is significantly less expensive than actual truffles, while possessing some of the same flavors and aroma. The emergence and growth of truffle oil has led to an increase in the availability of foods claiming to be made with or flavored with truffles, in an era when the price of truffles has pushed them out of reach for most diners. "Their one-dimensional flavor is also changing common understanding of how a truffle should taste," Daniel Patterson complained in a New York Times article.[3] Gordon Ramsay has referred to truffle oil as "a chef's dream,"[4] but has referred to white truffle oil as "one of the most pungent, ridiculous ingredients ever known to chef."[5] However, Heston Blumenthal, owner and head chef of The Fat Duck, uses it in some recipes.[citation needed]
that's one of the perks of the host.He's gonna eat everything first.


LAMB SHANK :D

The Raya School Naga's Pagtatapos 2016

Image
I was able to attend the graduation rites "Pagtatapos" of The Raya School in Naga City.  I accompanied my favorite Kumadres, Ms.Bernadette de Los Santo, the guest speaker of the moving up event.  How cute! White jacket instead of toga with Ms. Rica Buenaflor and Ms. B. It's not the usual graduation rites with processional and toga and stiff ceremonies. It was cool, relaxed, but one of the most meaningful and sentimental graduation rites of prep and kindergarten I'd ever been.   Fashion show featuring abaca products A super cute song number The kids had fun singing, dancing, reading and  strutting their abaca stuff. I guess it's their final thesis. They gave us all their perception on how they learned things in Raya through poetry and music and their videos on field trips and school presentations and their entrepreneurial skills!  During their pagtatapos they presented different products of abaca, its uses and even recited a poem....

Poisoned with Love | Poison Cauldron Library Cafe in Daraga, Albay

Image
From the moment I found the place under the searing heat of the sun, it sends  off automatically a deja vu chills! It's as if there's someone who whispered to me to look right and indeed, I'm on the right spot! I found Poison Cauldron, an old house with big pink open windows, and big trees around the house.  There's that certain smell of old houses and even the old books. It brought some joyful shivers in my spine. and I told myself, I am home. Old houses always struck me as interesting. Mainly, because I also live in a Pre-Spanish era house. Secondly, my Mom and I are paranormal lovers. We like the world of the unknown, ghosts, ghouls, lost souls, aliens and crystals and spaceships  (Well, off topic! This will be another post in my blog). Here is my Top Five Reasons Why Poison Cauldron Library Cafe   is worth your visit! 1. Books!      Lots of it. If you're a book worm, this place is your sanctuary. There's a variety of books from romanc...

Learning to breathe again

Image
Obviously, yes,  every part of my body is aching tonight. Most especially my wrists and my arms. I am not young anymore. I am not that flexible as before. I cannot reach my toes, I cannot lift or twist my body like I used to do, but surprisingly, I still can lift my butt with that certain yoga position, i can do the child's post and keep my balance but definitely, not that locust position. That one in the picture you're looking at, that's after my very first basic yoga class. I asked my yoga teacher to take a photo of me for this blog and as souvenir. A photo that would remind me that I was able to survive my first yoga class. I was able to keep up with the rest of my yoga classmates. I scrambled while following the  instructions of the yoga teacher who can do all the positions with ease, with impeccable balance, with great stamina. What do you expect from a tired Mom? lols!  I work. I am a very busy woman. My body and mind are both working, besides this, I try ...
