Mothers Who Brunch

Samba and Titas Who Lunch aka Mothers Who Brunch

Sabrina and I have always loved our time together spent over amazing brunch spreads. We love it even more if we get to share that sumptuous brunch spread with some of our other friends who love food as much as we do. Recently, we were invited to bring Mothers Who Brunch to try out some of the new lunch specials at Samba in Shangri La The Fort.

Samba is the poolside Peruvian tiki themed restaurant on the 8th floor of the luxury hotel that we have all come to love. There is a beautiful outdoor dining area that has a wonderful selection of drinks to cool off on these hot summer days. If you are a hotel guest, you can do this while lounging by the oasis that lies in the middle of BGC.

Peruvian Chef Carlo leads the skilled kitchen staff in creating dishes that are true to his Peruvian heritage, while making good use of the sustainable ingredients found locally. With Shangri-La’s commitment to farming and sourcing ingredients locally, to reduce the hotel’s carbon footprint, they provide a wonderful experience for discerning diners who would like to explore this type of South American cuisine.

The interiors of the restaurant are modern, yet cozy. Inviting and warm. With private rooms for small parties of 10 to 20, I imagine being able to enjoy a Sunday (or Saturday) brunch in a place that not only provides for delicious dining experiences, but comes with the world class service that Shangri-La hotels are known for.

The girls and I thoroughly enjoyed our healthy seafood brunch hosted by Enah Baba just the other day, and we are already planning another visit back.

Of all the many things that I enjoy about our time with Enah, it’s not just the food and the pleasant banter.

It’s the fact that these Ladies Who Lunch aka Mothers Who Brunch can all find time to get together once a month, to laugh and share parts of ourselves with one another. Bonding over food is what we do best!

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.
