Potluck series part 2

Posted byshootfirsteatlaterPosted inFood FindsTags:

As I have previously mentioned, our ICA HS batch is celebrating our homecoming this Nov. 21, 2009 and some classmates have been meeting almost every Saturday at Deb’s house for dance practice, bonding and mostly eating and laughing.

I’ve decided to post each week’s food so that our classmates who were absent and those abroad will see what they missed. I also want to share with everyone the amazing food discoveries that my classmates bring. The first potluck entry can be found here. The food here ended up being served for an early dinner rather than a separate merienda and dinner like before.

I brought these pork cua pao from Lim’s bakery in San Juan. The owner also happens to be our classmate, Jocelyn’s mom. They have a wide variety of Chinese delicacies that you can order like siopao, chaypao (kuchay-a), opao, birthday misua, kiampung, and many more. I can assure you it’s all good.

Someone brought these Go Nuts Pizza. Imagine a donut with pizza topping. I never even knew such a product existed.

Janet, our resident baker, brought cheese and banana cupcakes and choco chip-walnut bread pudding. As usual they’re a hit!

Janet also brought this caramel cake from Estrel’s. Little did I know this was going to be my surprise birthday cake.

Mila brought 2 dozens Krispy Kreme donuts. At first my figure conscious classmates didn’t eat the donuts. But at the end of the night the box was miraculously empty. It must evaporated into thin air.

Every week I look forward to what Cef will bring because she always brings food I’ve never eaten before. She brought an assortment of food from Nathaniel’s like siomai, puto pao, kutsinta and other goodies. Nathaniel’s is popular for there buko pandan salad and puto pao which is a puto (rice cake) which asado pork filling (same as siopao filling) and topped with a slice of salted egg. Nathaniel’s originated in San Fernando, Pampanga but now has 2 branches in Quezon City.

Mimi told me to be in charge of food for the night so I brought this baked crispy chicken and linguini with sun dried tomato pesto and chicken sausage. When they presented me with the surprise birthday cake I realized the food I brought was my treat to everyone. I’m glad they all liked the food I cooked.

Nathaniel’s siomai is also very good.

She also bought this concorde cake from La Nuova in Forbes Park, Makati.

I don’t mind if someone brings my favorite peachy peachy from Arny ♥ Dading every week. I even took home the leftovers. 🙂

What else can you ask for – good friends, great food, and lots of laughter.
