Their Lunch

Related to the post I had last week...

When the six of us had our breakfast, we ate at Grand Fiesta, which is the ship's canteen. We handed out our tickets, and when the four of us gave their tickets, they were told that they should be eating at a different food place because that's where the passengers staying in cabins supposed to eat. For breakfast, they just said they will just eat the "econo" breakfast, so all of us could be together (because Ryan and I didn't upgrade the tickets).

Come lunch time, Ryan and I took our lunch and head over the other food place, because that's where they decided to eat their lunch. We were happy we were allowed to bring our food there because we were friends and we were in the ship together. The cabin people were served different foods -Ryan and I had beef caldereta and they had Pork Anisado, which was plated really well, if I may say so. =)

The dish was great - the pork pieces are tender and the vegetables were crisp. I loved it. It was a bit sweet for my taste, but I was thankful that even if my ticket was econo, I also got to taste cabin people's food. Hehehe.

Tomatoes

LaPiS goes Iron Chef, wherein each week, there will be a featured ingredient. For this week, it's the tomatoes. Vegetable or not, fruit or not, I think all will agree that tomatoes do taste good. =)

The above picture (blurred, yes) was taken in 2008, when my siblings and I attended QC Na! Kulinarya, Talento, atbp. One of the events for the festivity was a cook off between professional chefs. In a way, it was kinda like Iron Chef - having to use some particular ingredients in their dishes - but, the cook off wasn't shown to public - they just served the dishes and the judges would roam around the table to taste the dishes.

This one, also taken in 2008, was part of the "extra treats" at Italianni's. That time, they launched their "Extra! Extra!" promo, wherein they give something to diners - may it be extra dessert, extra appetizers, or extra drinks. I was privileged to be part of the group of foodie bloggers who got to attend the launch of the promo. I forgot what this dish was called, but paired with the crunchy bread with chopped mushrooms, it tasted great.

Midnight Snack

Going home from Coron, Palawan nearly a month ago, my friends and I decided to take the Superferry. There were minimal "problems" when it comes to accomodations, but by midnight, although Leux and I stayed at the econo with aircon place, Lei and Dianne (who upgraded to Cabin with Kei and Erick) came to wake us up and just spend time at the Island Fiesta, the ferry's cafeteria.

At the cafeteria, we had some cakes. Dianne and I had the chocolate cake (65php) while Leux and Lei had the strawberry roll cake (35php). Given the price, it was such a great buy - very delicious! The chocolate cake was very rich yet wasn't so sweet. It was so good that we recommended it to Kei, who also bought a slice of chocolate cake as her dessert come breakfast time.
