Dining Review

Mom’s Night Out

Recently, The New World Hotel Makati invited the SoMoms to a dinner in their Jasmine restaurant showcasing their newly renovated private rooms, and the revamped menu that include a choice of four authentic Cantonese signature sets. I was super excited to attend this dinner in honor of the SoMoms because this was the first time I was attending an event with them after they had asked me to become a member Momma.

I haven’t been to New World in quite some time, (like years?) so, I was excited to visit it again, this time with other mom bloggers who would be trying the new menu as well. It’s always nice to take some time for yourself as a mom, and we used this opportunity to take advantage as a “mom’s night out.”

It's not often we get to go out sans kids, so the SoMoms were sure to make the most of this night together by filling it with laughter!

The first course was the Dim Sum course. It included Tropical Fruits, a Golden Scallop, and a Wagyu Beef Roll.

The second course was a King Prawn nestled on a Bed of Garlic Noodles.

The third course was Deep Fried Fish Fillet, Salted Egg Yolk and Steamed Egg White

The fish was so crispy and the egg whites were light tasty.

By this time I was so full, I could only manage to “taste” the rest of the dishes instead of clearing my whole plate, like I did with the others.

The fourth course was accompanied by lots of laughter. It was Beef Short Ribs with Black Pepper Sauce and Bok Choy.

The beef was tender and the black pepper sauce was not overpowering or too spicy.

The fifth course was Fried Rice with Diced Chicken and Chinese Sausage.

Love the place setting!

For dessert we had my favorite, Mango Cream with sago.

The perfect way to finish such a filling meal. Cold and deliciously sweet mango cream with sago.

Chef Wong was sure to come by and say hello after we were done eating with Nini who was our host that evening.

The SoMoms regularly get together for enriching activities. This particular evening was really a great introduction for me, as our dinner was set in a private room in the Jasmine restaurant. This venue enabled us to engage in intimate conversations(which allowed me to get to know some of the other moms quietly) as well as lots of laughter, jokes, and good fun. All the while, we were sure not to disturb any other guests no matter how much fun we were having. We even had our own comfort room within the room, so there was no need to leave!

The fun of eating together in a private room (complete with our own comfort room) is that we can be a little bit louder without the worry of disturbing any of the other guests in the restaurant.

The best  part about indulging in such a wonderful meal is the laughter shared amongst friends…old and new. Thanks ladies for the warm welcome into the SoMoms. I promise I will start practicing my tagalog so you don’t have to keep interpreting the jokes for me!!

Thank you Nini and Chef Wong for the yummy dinner. We were even surprised with oatmeal cookies to take home!

Not only were the SoMoms treated to a fantastic journey into Cantonese Cuisine, but we even got to take home some yummy cookies for the kids! Thanks Chef!

      Aw. I think it’s so sweet that you had a “fan girl” moment. I was glad that we also sat next to one another because it opened my eyes to things I hadn’t considered. I love that you are involved in your advocacy of breastfeeding and the lengths you are willing to go to share it. Looking forward to more “intimate” conversations…even if they aren’t so quiet!

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
