holiday specials from 2nd's

November 09, 2012

I was invited to sample some of the Christmas specials from 2nd's last night and asked Lissa & Camille to try them with me... 2nd's is known for really great comfort food & an upscale dining experience so I was excited to see what they were adding to the menu. Really interesting flavors going on and sure enough, each dish really reminded me of Christmas!

CHICKEN RELLENO ROULADE

Chicken leg stuffed with sausage and roasted chestnuts. Served with potato & pumpkin dauphinoise, french beans, and peppercorn whiskey jus.

-Loved the potato & pumpkin dauphinoise! Cams said this was her favorite, too.

CHRISTMAS HAM & QUEZO DE BOLA CROQUETAS

Served with truffled aioli

-Even if I had to take out the ham, this was still really tasty.

CINNAMON & PINEAPPLE GLAZED PORK BELLY “HAM”

Served with warm red sauerkraut and rosemary browned butter potatoes

GINGERBREAD COOKIE & EGGNOG ICE CREAM SANDWICH

-LOVED IT

PUTO BUMBONG GNOCCHI

Served with desiccated coconut pinipig, gata butterscotch, and coco sugar.

-I really liked that they made a Filipino favorite more interesting.

Some photos from Walkway 2012

(I didn't get to take photos of each of the stations since I spent most of my time at the merch table selling the shirts and CDs)

Promoting Walkway on MYX with Pat, Riz and Robin! We also sang a few lines from our song, Keep Me Company which you can download for free HERE.

Turbo Goth is always fun to watch & I love Sarah! They performed after us during an iScream gig at 7th High

At the STATUS magazine anniversary party in Prive with one of my idols, photographer BJ Pascual. I've known him since his Animoism days in La Salle and it's so cool seeing all his works published on most publications!

Hanson concert in Araneta..

Robin was the opening act. Congrats on your new music video!

They all look so different now but they sound exactly the same!

Sundays

April 15, 2011

We're always at 2nd's on Sundays since we have church service there. We often end up having dinner there since the food's goooooood. When my friends want to meet up on weekdays and we have nowhere else to go, we end up here as well. The drinks are sorta pricey but they're the best!

I always order the Caprese Tower.

Riz got the lechon kawali

They have specials that you can't find on the menu so it's best to ask the waiter about it. Last Sunday they had this burger with eggs benedict and spam in it.
