Lasang Pinoy #28 (Fine Dining)


The 1st thing that came into my mind for this week's theme is Wine. What is fine dining without a wine? Right?

Hubby loves to dine. Moreso, in fine dining/gourmet restos, hence, he tries as much as possible to collaborate fine dining in our everyday meals through well prepared meals and dining table. Unfortunately, I am not very good at this, I am simply after the food hee hee.

So when a dear friend and her husband visited us 2 weekends ago, I was a trying-hard. Hubby was out for some errands and left all the cooking and preparation for me. Here's the best ala-fine dining I could make.

Since my friend's husband is a pure American who is not really fond of Filipino dishes, I made sure he had something to eat. I prepared salad, mashed potatoes, baked chicken and when all else fail, I ordered Papa John's Gourmet pizza hee hee.

As for my friend who hasn't not eaten sinigang for 9 months at that time, I prepared pork sinigang, tortang talong and the roasted ribs ala lechong kawali. I swear she finished the whole pan of sinigang for the rest of her stay with us :). She ate them everyday for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even merienda :).

Loved the detail on the silver goblet (is it?) next to the wine - so elegant!

And it's so fine indeed when good friends come over and enjoy what you've prepared for them!
