What’s for Noche Buena 2012?

Planning for Noche Buena is sometimes a tiring task much more the prep itself.  So, my maxim is “keep it simple but enticing and delightful”.  What matter most is that the whole family is there to celebrate the holiday season.

Keep It Simple.  3-4 dishes are enough.  Choose a menu that will not take time in preparation and cooking.

Enticing.  It’s a matter of presentation.  Bring out your creative side in setting your dining table.  And remember that plating your dishes is one way to lure diners to savor the food.

Delightful.  Your menu might be simple; but if you prepare it with all your heart, the food would turn out to be delightfully tasteful and delicious.

My personal choice:

·         Appetizer – Pepper & Cheese Rolls
·         Soup – Hototay
·         Main Dish – Turbo Whole Chicken (I’m sure you have your own way to do this) and/or Liempo Inasal
·         Rice – Steamed Brown Rice w/ pandan leaves (just add 2-3 leaves while cooking)
·         Dessert – Contis’ Blueberry Cheesecake
·         Drinks – Soda or Iced Tea

Happy Holidays!!!
