The potluck series is nearing it’s conclusion and I can’t help but feel sad. All the dance practices are over and I won’t get to see my classmates every Saturday. We were always tired after dance practice (except me since I didn’t dance) but we got our energy back once we moved to the dining room.
Today, November 21, 2009 is the big day. It’s the day of our homecoming entitled, sICAt tayo! It’s the culmination of all our hard work from brain storming, planning, practicing and the last few days’ frantic set-up at school.
In behalf of the core group and all the committees, I would like to thank Firewire Marketing Consultancy for helping us plan, organize and execute the whole event, our esteemed director Mike Lim for his brilliant and creative ideas, Direk Raymond for guiding us, Exile for the fabulous lights and sounds and Martin Esteva for the lighting design. And to all the staff of ICA, my wonderful classmates and everyone who had a hand in the homecoming, a big thank you!
Janet brought this challah bread she bought at the Salcedo market.

Cef brought this chicken pastel she ordered from Verleo Catering. It was filled with big chunks of chicken and veggies in a creamy, delicious white sauce.

Dorothy bought the garlic sotanghon from Conti’s Pastry Shop and Restaurant. It was my first time to try it and I loved it. The garlic flavor was very prominent and it was very peppery too.

It was a night of doubles. We had 2 kinds of paella and lengua. Aren’t we so spoiled?
Jennie ordered this super yummy paella from Dulcelin. The paella was filled to the brim with seafood, chorizo and veggies. The prawns in the paella were huge.

Deb’s talented cook whipped up this very impressive paella.

She also made this scrumptious lengua (ox tongue) in mushroom sauce.

My cook made this lengua in tomato, red wine and mushroom sauce. Everyone had their own favorite paella or lengua. The important thing was we went home with plenty of left-overs.

Iron chef Florence made this restaurant quality Korean beef bulgogi. She brought the marinated beef to Deb’s house and in a few minutes transformed it into this magnificent dish. Everybody agreed this classmate CAN cook!

Kathy brought her secret recipe chicken barbecue with a special sauce. There were definitely no left-overs for this dish.

The glass lazy susan was groaning under the weight of so much food it refused to budge. We had to walk around it to get the food.
Naturally, we had to have dessert. It’s was good of Rowena to bring Ms. Polly’s chocolate cake. It’s one of the best chocolate cakes in Manila.

I hope our homecoming is a big success! There’s still 2 more installments to the potluck series. More food finds coming soon.

I don’t have idea about these foods but i can say that the food is more important then shoot because you can only work when you have proper energy to do it.
