New Year with new ideas :D


     Though 2011 was a grill and roast filled year, there were still some cooking elements that i did not cover and mastered yet...... I'm not saying that last year was a total waste but I am just even more enthusiastic to explore new concepts and methods aside from my favorite charcoal hardcore glazed dishes. 

2011 was a blast because this is the year where i honed my skills on some cocktails and mixed drinks... this is the year that i have developed the real essence of cooking a beer can chicken, this is the year where i can light up charcoal without losing my patience XD, I perfected my pizza dough, I cooked hiroshima style okonomiyaki and this is the year where i learned that my love for cooking will really never die.


Uhhhm so far I have discovered great eats this year and the top grossing simple eats goes to... Tuding's of Course, Namnama Ilocos bagnet and empanadang iloco, Budbod meals by "Pinatos" San Pedro... For the semi high ended ones we have Kikufuji japanese restaurant for their superior serving of sea urchin and wide range of unagi sushi and sashimi.... the rotating sushi bar "sakae" @  MOA..... coz they got PWNED XD and another imporatant find is STAVROS their meals are epic the flavors are all superb in blending try the gyro its really really gooooood :D. Not all eats were successful I've tried COW___NGA pizza they screwed up serving time totalled the pizza and dropped it in the floor and they literally will feed you to the mosquitoes, their Nachos took 20 minutes in preparation.... sheesh. Another one Epic Failure is FU__YA japanese restaurant because of their constantly burnt okonomiyaki.and nearly styrofoamy like sashimi : P.


Of course the most memorable eating experiences that occurred to us was the family bonding, the hubby and wifey kitchen cook offs and the plum li'l kid and voracious youngster who served as both fans and critics on every recipe or dish that we create


Well Imma gonna say goodbye to 2011 and I am hoping that I could make my ultimate dish this 2012.....  but variety is great so I'll be starting with the conventionally odd grills or anything that may inspire me.... cheers and have a pleasant year ahead.... Kepp cookin' grillin' or eatin' Flame on!
