Ich bin verzweifelt auf der Suche nach Lokalen, in denen man gut essen kann, ohne gleich "unverhältnissmässig" viel dafür auszugeben!

Wäre nett wenn ihr mir weiterhelfen könntet!

Kitchen Chuva...

ron_ona — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 09:52:56 +0000

Petsa: 28 Nov Lunch+meryenda (then go later GaryV)
Saan: Sa kusina ni plumkiwi (sa Najma lapit sa Toyota)
Paano: Eto...

(1) Kailangan lang ng tatlo o apat na mag volunteer na mag luluto ng kaniya-kaniyang "secret recipe" at sila din ang magdadala ng recipe ingredients & cooking pots & utensils (wala kasi si plumkiwi kaldero). Mas unique or out of this world ang recipe mas maganda para naman may matikman tayo kakaiba sa panlasa.

(2) Ang siste, sabay sabay mag-luluto ang volunteer "Iron Chef", yun nga lang iisa lang ang stove pero 4-burner naman. So cook under pressure ang drama!

(3) Habang ang mga iron chef natin ay nagluluto, ang iba naman ay kanya kanyang kanta at nag-papagutom lang hehehe.

(4) Drinks, rice, serving plates, fruits, & entertainment etc. will be provided by the host plumkiwi.

(5) Volunteer "iron chefs" & attendees pwede na kayong mag confirm via this thread... para malaman namin kung ilang ang sinaing hehehe!

Comments, questions & suggestions are welcome.

Good day!

Another popular biscuit added to the tainted list

DOHA • Yet another famous biscuit brand widely available in Qatar has been added to the growing list of melamine-contaminated food products. A Hong Kong food safety watchdog yesterday alleged traces of melamine were found in Croley Foods Sunflower Crackers (pictured).

The Philippine-made biscuit sold in many hypermarkets and grocery stores here has made it to the list of products tainted by toxic melamine substance that has stoked fear among consumers around the world and rocked China's food industry.

Hong Kong's Centre for Food Safety which has been conducting tests since last month said the biscuit along with a brand of eggs from China contained melamine.

Earlier, hypermarkets in Doha have pulled off shelves popular Sri Lankan biscuit Lemon Puff Munchee following reports by Swiss authorities it was melamine contaminated. Health Science Authority of the Health Ministry in Singapore, however, had later cleared the biscuit of any melamine content.

Also Qatari authorities have stepped up measures to ensure that the local market is free from melamine tainted products; these include a meeting of officials of Food Safety Committee of the National Health Authority (NHA) and making more stringent checks at the NHA's port control section. Sources from Central Food Laboratory under the NHA have earlier said the laboratory is also currently upgrading itself to locally conduct melamine tests.

Meanwhile, Premier Wen Jiabao of China - the country mostly affected by the scandal - vowed yesterday to win back the trust of the world by having the Chinese food exports meet international norms.

Jolibee - Chowking Qatar

ron_ona — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:32:02 +0000

The decision to setup Chowking Qatar (& Bahrain) started in 2007 & yes, we may see the storefront by early 2009. But NOT Jollibee... as plans for Jollibee Qatar may take a backseat due to a number of challenges. First, bringing the brand is easy but bringing the actual "langhap-sarap" taste is difficult if not impossible. The burger, chicken, & spaghetti recipes face a lot of restrictions before its allowed to be sold here. So if they re-formulate the recipe for compliance, it will not be as tasty as we expect & doom doom doom just like Jollibee Riyadh KSA. Jollibee's "gravy" recipe is an absolute no-no by govt health authorities here because it's made of chicken fat drippings. Another setback is the menu will be a little pricey due to logistics & overhead cost. Although the marketing brains of Jollibee is working on their Qatar game plan, it may take a while before we see the bee in the city of Doha.

Chowking has lesser challenges because the "chinese" menu also appeals to other nationalities. Besides the usual menu, they may also offer all time favorites like kare-kare & sisig to galvanize the "bringing the pinoy taste overseas" game plan. We will also see function rooms being made available para naman may gimik place ang mga FilExpat hehehe!

But anyhow, these are nothing but my own personal views na galing sa aking bolang kristal. Meanwhile, bubuksan ko na yung Goldilocks lechon paksiw ko hehehe!
