Dining Mothers Who Brunch

Titas Who Brunch

Ok. I know that brunch usually means you eat a meal some time between breakfast and lunch.

But I have had breakfast that goes all the way to lunch. 

So does that count as brunch?

I think today it does. 

Recently, Sabrina and I were invited to checkout the new offerings of the Breakfast Buffet at the High Street Cafe in Shangri-la The Fort.

It’s always a pleasure to have brekkie with the ladies and we were super excited that our friend Nikki could join us for this breakfast treat.

You know what the funny thing is about having breakfast with the ladies?

All of the different things that may or may not enter into the breakfast table conversation.

And this can only happen when the women sitting at the table are totally open…and totally game…and totally withhold judgement.

Actually, the conversation shifted from traveling in comfort, to parenting, to living alone, and even puberty. I kid you not. It was full of laughter. It was light. It was fun.

And of course as is always the case with the High Street Cafe, the food was fantastic.

High Street Cafe has nine culinary stations that always have their main staples that keep people coming back for more. Every now and then they change things up just a little to surprise us and treat us to something special.

If you are going to have breakfast in High Street Cafe any time soon with the ladies, be sure to look for the signs that show the different dishes that each Chef from their respective stations came up with as a new take on sometimes a classic dish.

Like take for instance Pares.

I never even knew what Pares was until recently. Here is where Chef Mike takes this simple dish and turns it into the kind of gourmet beef stew that you would enjoy with garlic rice. I didn’t even know that this was a way to cure a hangover? 

Whenever Nino and I have traveled to Hong Kong one of the traditional breakfasts he always looks for is Congee. Admittedly, I’m not a big fan of this dish. But I can totally get into arroz caldo with all the crunchy tofu, egg, and garlic toppings when it is served.

So for the Asian Station they have kicked up the traditional Congee with some fire power. 

Someone can make fresh congee for you on the spot with all the different toppings you might want. You can choose from chicken or ground pork for your protein, pickled vegetables, and of course seaweed, too.

Now, for those of you who are in the know. 

You know.

You know that you go to High Street Cafe for the Laksa.

You ask for extra broth.

You slurp away, and enjoy the rich spicy creamy coconutty Thai noodle soup, and you don’t feel guilty.

Well, there is a new noodle you can enjoy now, too!

All you have to do is ask for this Malasysian vegetarian noodle dish, and I am sure you will end up being satisfied as well.

I enjoy noodles. Really I do. But for this breakfast date, I passed on the noodles and went straight for the sous vide eggs.

YES. The Elusive Sous Vide Eggs.

Why can’t I get this right?

Well, probably because I can just go to High Street Cafe with the girls and enjoy it there.

Creamy truffled mash. Shredded Parmigiano. A perfectly coddled egg that was cooked to 60 degrees. Crispy Toasted Breadcrumbs. I must confess. I wanted to go back for seconds.

But my EGG intolerance.

Because breakfast is all about eggs, we were also able to try out a different take on the Filipino favorite, Pandesal.

This sweet and creamy take on egg with bread has a quail egg nestled into a cream cheese bacon filled pillowy soft pandesal served warm is perfect with coffee!

Want to know my favorite part of any brunch buffet?

The fact that you can go back and forth from sweet to savory and back to sweet again. 

Here are two new sweets you can check out when you have the time.

I love pizza. I love flatbread. I love it even more when these carbolicious treats are made into something sweet. It’s dessert! 

It’s even better when dessert and sweets can be made into something a little healthier. 

Like CHIA PUDDING

I enjoy making this at home with Gigi. Actually, I think we have come up with a pretty good base recipe for our Chia Pudding, but something about enjoying it with the ladies, laughing, joking, and sharing even some of our horror stories, makes this particular chia pudding just a bit yummier.

Actually, I really do think it is that way.

When you eat with friends, and the conversation is good, everything else just tastes better. Doesn’t it?

Plus, when you’re done eating you can do a little Christmas shopping for the gourmet treats that Shangri-la Hotels are always known for. 

Or, you can book your family time for a cause by reserving a slot in the cookie decorating workshops that will be offered every day for the kiddos.

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.
