Dining Review

Swiss Deli Restaurant in BF

There are always lots of new restaurants to try out in our area. The thing is, whenever I hear of a new place from my friends who live close by, I have to make sure that we try out it out right away because you never know how long the restaurant will be around.

I heard of Swiss Deli from my friends Vangie, Ivy, and Reng so I was curious. I trust these friends when it comes to restaurant recommendations because we have the same taste and standards when it comes to dining out. These are also my friends who cook and bake really well too. 

Actually, this is the same group of ladies that likes to get together for pot lucks. We like to plan a menu, bring the kids together, and then put together a synchronised meal. One of our best meals to date is our Greek themed meal. That pot luck gathering was so good, that I think we might try and replicate it again 🙂

Last week, Ivy asked us to go for lunch and it was just what I needed as a break from all the work that I have been trying to catch up with. You know when you feel like you are constantly chasing the clock with projects to finish, deadlines to meet, and events to attend? Lots of my deadlines are self imposed (although some are not) and since I’ve been so overwhelmed a lunch with the ladies (at a new place) was exactly what I needed. 

Fondue a mx of Swiss Appenzeller, Emmenthal, and Gruyere Cheese, served with bread (P600)

Of course, we started with FONDUE!

Of course, we started with FONDUE!

OH MY GOSH. The FONDUE!!! I know I was not being polite when we were eating this delicious melted pot of cheesy goodness. We opted to order without the liquor, and we didn’t miss it. It was so good, that even if by the end of the meal it was cooler and a little stringy, we were all still picking at it, to clean the bowl  “nice and good.” 

Mediterranean Pasta Salad Served with Tuna Chunks and Italian Dressing (P165)

Mediterranean Salad

These are my friends who like salad! (I do have friends who don’t eat any veggies.) Hooray for friends who like cheese and greens! Can you tell how happy my tummy was when this second dish came to the table?

Oh-one thing I really like to do when I’m out with these ladies who lunch is follow their lead. Since I have never been to this restaurant before, I asked them to just order what they would normally order and I guess they have eaten here often enough that they already know the best dishes for four ladies to split and pick at. 

Next came the Smoked Salmon.

Smoked Salmon was served with Bread (P310)

It’s weird. I like smoked salmon, I like grilled salmon, but I don’t like salmon sushi. (unless it’s torched and on top of toshi but you should look for that post on Sushi Ninja later.)

Assorted Cheese Platter with Air Dried Meat (P300)

We like to pick. We sit around. Catch up on each other’s lives…and pick…and pick some more…and then before we know it, it’s time to pick up the kids from school.

Chicken Zurich Style (P210)

IMG_0846 copy

Chicken Zurich Style reminded me of a dish I eat at Palms Country Club. Both these dishes have lots of mushrooms and creamy sauce. However, Chef Hans makes Zurcher with pork tenderloin.

I enjoyed that this dish was done with chicken breast. It’s a healthier version that doesn’t sacrifice the flavor. 

We were much too full to order the chocolate fondue-although I have to admit I gave it a thought. So, instead we opted for two desserts that we would all split. 

Apple Strudel with Ice Cream (P120)

Apple Strudel

 The Apple Strudel would have been perfect with coffee, since it had ice cream. If only, I didn’t already have my limit of two cups earlier in the day, I would have had another.

Caramel Cake (P120)

Caramel Cake

This Caramel Cake was delicious. It was chewy and moist. It had a cool caramel cream sauce that added another level of flavor and if that wasn’t enough it had fresh whipped cream and pistachios and walnuts resting atop the pillowy clouds of cream. My friends forgave me for taking more than my 1/4 of a share of this one…it was just so yummy. It was yummy in the way that corner brownies are yummier than the ones in the center. You know what I mean?

We were lucky enough to be dining during a time when owner Jeffry Lua was there with his Dad. As we were the last table to leave at the tail end of the lunch service, we chatted him up a bit. I was surprised to see that he also sells cheeses and other imported goods that often make it to the table in my home. There is a whole cooler full of sausages, sliced cold cuts, and even steaks.

It was so nice chatting with owner Jeff. We could see that he is really hands on with the restaurant.

We also learned that this particular branch of Swiss Deli is not the first! In fact Swiss Deli first opened in Davao. Thanks for bringing it here, Jeff…I love that it’s right around the corner from my place!

    My family had lunch at Swiss Deli for two consecutive Sundays. The boys just love the fondue ( without the luquer) and the sausage platter.

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.
