Ohmski's Blogline: Bloggers eat Super Bowl of China

another pig-out moment for me and other bloggers last night as Yehey and Super Bowl of China unveils to us their new servings, the Crispy Mandarin Chicken, Seafood Chopsuey,Tao Sa Pao and Lechon Macau. these four unique selections are only available for a limited time and goes with Super Bowl's all time favorites: Deep Fried Cuttlefish with Spicy Salt, Yang Chow Fried Rice, Hunan Tofu, Crispy Shrimp w/ Sweet & Sour Sauce, Fish Fillet with Taosi Sauce, Sweet and Sour Pork, Honey Glazed Pork Ribs, Sliced Beef with Brocolli, Szechuan Shrimp, Golden Shanghai Chicken, Steamed Fish Fillet w/ Garlic, assorted dimsum, roasts, rice toppings, and desserts.

we have got the chance to see how these very tempting foods are made as Mr. Bob Vallar, the MK Director of Big Buddha Restaurant, took us per batch at the kitchen and introduced us to Chef Mike and Chef Roy, the head chefs for Super Bowl of China. Chef Roy showed us how to make the Crispy Mandarin Chicken while Wok Chef, Chef Mike demonstrated a little on making the Seafood Chopsuey. though the temperature was a little high inside the kitchen, the information was priceless. a little tip on deep-frying : if you are to deep-fry and wanting to check if the oil is hot enough, use a dry chopstick and dip it in the oil. if bubbles come out of the chopstick, then it's ready for use.

as a group goes into the kitchen, the rest of the bloggers are in contest mood pimping their personal bowl. art materials are provided and just let the bloggers squeeze the creative juice to design the humble bowl. and as everyone is busy with the bowls, food just kept coming in until we surrendered. haha!

the night ended with the announcement of winners for Most Creative, Most Original Design and Most Festive. congrats to the winners. and lastly, everyone did not go home without a bag to carry as the hosts handed out 2 boxes of treat: a Christmas ham and roasted chicken! how generous is that for a blog event? thanks to Yehey and Super Bowl of China. love 'em and hoping to see you again on your next event!

TriNoma Blogger Food Tour



(My entry sa mga resto na magbabasa ng blogs para sa kanilang review. lol)

Ha! Masarap talaga ang libre. Thanks to Yehey for sponsoring the event. Also to Iggy who informed us about it. A stranger I found online which I finally met. He wants us to shout his blog as "T'rugoman" para hindi naman daw magtunog bastos. He introduced me to a couple of people, Cathie, Joriben, Paulo and EO which I got along during the day. Being a first-timer on events like this, hindi ko talaga alam how will I approach other bloggers. Age is no limit. Akala ko talaga young adults will invade this event. Pero professionals, teens, etc. Everybody is there. (Lamunan ba naman e, papalampasin mo ba yan? Hahaha...)

Entrance pa lang, food and freebies na! Catering services at the TriNoma Cinema Lobby kung saan nagkaroon din ng little presentation about TriNoma and the event itself. Most were curious about the name TriNoma until the presentation said: "Triangle at the North of Metro Manila." I also got Hershey's chocolates and TriNoma stuff.

The Congregation of the Pink People
Napunta ako sa Pink group. Buti nalang Cathie and I will be buddies for the rest of the day. We got off last from the Cinema lobby after some briefings from our facilitators.

Food critic na ba ako?
First stop, 2nd level. Cabalen, Crustasia, La Maison and Zong are the place to be. Too bad closed ang Crustasia and Zong for that day. Ewan ko lang kung bakit. Lechon, sisig, sinigang ang mga pinatikim sa Cabalen. Ribs from La Maison are the best sobra! Although merong mga sauces prepared for the ribs, I ate it ng ganun lang. Masarap, ayos sa pagkaka-marinade.



Going up to third level is Abe, Haiku, Hossein's Persian Kebab are the restos we've tried. Hossein has a very interesting interior. Persian na Persian ang dating na wala si Xerxes. They served us beef kebab, pita bread and some dressings na kung pagsama-samahin mo silang lahat, you have the eternal SHAWARMA! Pero masarap ang kamatis a.

With a little time left because we have to catch up for the program at the top floor by 6pm, we have to rush with the pika-pikas from TGIFriday's, Italianni's, Fish & Co and Bubba Gump. Nagsawa ako sa fish fillet talaga. Iba-iba lang ang sauce.



Bubba Gump served pasta and moving on, we get to Holy Cow! Finally some dessert! I was craving for some sweets. I love the cakes, lalo na ang cheesecake. At paglipat namin sa katabing Cyma, whoa! Main Course! Alam mo yung busog ka na sa mga kinain mo pero isipin mo nalang na libre kasi kaya kelangan patulan. Hahaha.

Eating halted (at least for a while)
Program muna. Pwede naman daw balikan after the show. So may raffle and mini-concert from Sound na ang vocalist ay kamukha ni Ely Buendia. I didn't have that much luck sa raffles at laking gulat ko nalang nung tinawag ang pangalan ko for a TriNoma notepad. Ok na rin naman yun, maganda naman notepad nila at may kasamang another notepad from SuperBowl of China na hindi naman gumagana ang ballpen. Hahaha...



Gained new friends and the experience was great. Sana meron ulit next time. Kala ko maiimpatso ako pero hinde! Hahaha...
