Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera in a new telenovela… NOT!

I am not a lover of Tuna products, but everything changed when I was invited at the bloggers launch of San Marino Corned Tuna last month. Not only am I impressed with their marketing strategy, but hey, the product is worth trying!

My verdict? San Marino Corned Tuna tastes as good as Corned Beef. What I also like about it is that it’s not really as oily as the other canned tunas available in the market. San Marino Chili Corned Tuna is also Marian Rivera’s personal favorite according to the representative we spoke with.

The people behind San Marino Corned Tuna is dead serious on beating the competitor that’s why they’re really investing on promoting their product through print ads, tvc’s and even online. If you’re a fan of Marian Rivera, there’s a possibility that you saw the following episodes of Darna and Show Me The Manny, where the actress is promoting the product:

San Marino Corned Tuna is receiving good reviews as of writing and I can’t help but agree with them! I have my own stock of San Marino Chili Corned Tuna here at home just in case I need to eat in an instant. The product is available in your favorite supermarkets and sari-sari stores. It is available in 100g, 150g and 180g.

Anyone curious about our 4 Course Meal at the Pan Pacific? Until now I still can’t get over the unlimited drink butter and bread refills at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Singapore. The whole course was great from start to finish. Let me do a rundown on what we ate and my feedback about all of it :

Marinated Smoked Tuna with Feta, Herb Salad, and Balsamic Olive Oil

I’ve been always a fan of seared tuna salad dishes. Pan Pacific’s perfectly seared and smoked tuna (perfectly coated too as you can see on the picture) tasted very delicious as it complimented with the strong balsamic flavor of the olive oil drizzle. Each bite is eaten best with the cherry tomatoes on the side, which are really sweet ones. If one wants a tine of saltiness, there are bites of blue cheese on the side. I love it and cleared the whole plate.

Light Cream of Asparagus and Green Peas topped with a Chive Mousseline

I was pretty surprised upon looking at the menu of our four course meal. This soup had a dominating pumpkin flavor to it than green peas. As far as I can remember I wasn’t able to have any bite of asparagus bits on my soup too…LOL. Anyway, this dish was well-appreciated even without looking at its name. Hehehe :p

Rosemary Marinated Chicken with Saffron Cheesy Mash Potato and Balsamic Reduction Mediterranean Vegetable in Mango Coriander Salsa Sauce

This was the biggest dish from all the dishes served to us. It was like eating 1/3 of roasted chicken breast topped on a huge mash potato layer. The mashed potato gave a lot of flavor to the dish as it had a really cheesy yet sweet potato flavor it is, the chicken was not as seasoned but cooked just right. Hmm..this was almost a perfect dish to me along with the top herbs, but there is just one herb that I’m not fond of which made me separated some of its bits on my plate- Wansuy. Ack, for me it did cut my enjoyment of the whole dish as I was happily savoring and chewing my dish. Thank God there were just a few bits of it on my dish, the herb flavor was just too strong for me than rosemary. Nevertheless I did enjoy this dish…even with all the chopping I had to do with the chicken hehehehe…

Praline Hazelnut Gateau with Rasberry Jelly

The dish tasted like a mix of chocolate mouse and tiramisu. It was served with fresh Strawberries, Rasberries and Blueberries. Suddenly I remember my farm at Farmville…Hahaha! Sorry for the Farmville Family Frenzy hahaha… :p It took me a while to finish the dish and finally eat all that Rasberry Jelly that had a strong kick to its flavor. Overall the dish gave great closure to the whole course. It was also great with some tea on the side.

This ends my share about what we ate at the Blog Awards and it makes me wonder about the other dishes that the Pan Pacific Hotel in Singapore serves. Truly great dishes indeed that leaves you filling and craving for more. I hope I can someday afford meal like this in a great hotel in Singapore.

Thank you Nuffies for choosing Pan Pacific and the 4-Course Meal.

%%The Pan Pacific 4-Course Meal at the Nuffnang Blog Awards%% is a post from: Patay Gutom

Finally I’m back. I’ve been away from Patay Gutom for the past couple of weeks, to avoid conflict of interests, after PG got nominated for Bloggers’ Choice Award in the recently concluded Philippine Blog Awards 2009. For my coming back post, I won’t be doing a feat about fancy restaurants but instead, I’ll be telling you about the good news of what eating can do to help send poor children to school.

I was at Serendra last night to witness the launch of “8 to Educate”, which is a project of the Virlanie Foundation in partnership with eight restaurants in Serendra, which aims to raise funds for the education of street children. Each time you dineorder the special dish from any of the eight participating restaurants, a portion of what you paid for the food you ate will go to the poor children at the Virlanie Foundation.

The participating restaurants are: . Arama, Cav, Chelsea, Cupcakes by Sonja, Fu, Healthy Kitchen, Sentro 1771 and Xocolat.

For additional information on how you can help the Virlanie Foundation, you may inquire at www.virlanie.org.

Our gracious host and leader Mr. Timothy Tiah (one of the founders of Nuffnang) took us all out for dinner at Duck King located at Jaya One just outside Kuala Lumpur. It would be a chinese dinner. And it would be one of the best.

First to arrive would be the mapo tofu steak with seaweed or nori on top. The tofu was one of the best I’ve tasted. Nice and firm when you scoop it up but literally turns into liquid when you start munching. It was beautiful example of perfect chinese cooking. And then the main course started flowing in.

We had some deep fried Kang Kong which tasted alot like junk food snacks. That was gone quite quickly. The Peking Duck, Pork Belly, and Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet were all incomparable to anything I’ve tasted here in the Philippines. This was simply a divine meal. I didn’t know when to stop. With the absence of water or any soft drink to fill myself up, I just kept eating. It was beautiful. I am a big fan of duck. This meal was something. It was both unforgettable. We got to see the regular side of Tim Tiah. I admit I am a big fan of him and princess. (Audrey but no one calls her that anymore!) Thank you Tim for the food. It was one of the best I’ve had in a long time.

Charsiew and Wonton Noodles

I only limited myself to have a mazimum of 10SGD per meal and thank goodness! With only 10SGD I can eat what I want in adequate servings and quality-wise the food at the Chinatown Complex is great.. Again, I had another Charsiew meal in Singapore, but the difference this time is that the Charsiew is topped on noodles with some extra wonton side dish. The meal only cost me 4SGD and 1SGD for a soda drink and I was already full.

Inside the Maxwell Food Center

Honestly, what I can just say about eating at the Chinatown Complex is that the place isn’t that clean as compare to the other eating place- the Maxwell Food Center. I can say however that the food is affordable at the Chinatown Complex, one can also take pictures of the big pagoda there.
