akalain mo???
yehey!!! the 17th YHE just ended and i only joined 2 events: the High Tea Function Competition and the Market Basket Competition. in the High Tea Function Competition, we landed 1st place. to think we were the "underdog". hahahahaha... there were 7 groups of 8 members each. 4 of which had to do set-up of the function while the other 4 had to do the food (ako yun!!!). heheheh it went well naman. we made caprese on crostinis, shrimp and mango on crab and avocado, potato skins with prosciutto-cheese roulade with melon and alfalfa sprouts, fresh fruit tarts on tuile cones, mini chocolate cakes with creme chantilly, and english scones with cottage cheese and marmalade.
for the Market Basket Competition naman, we landed 2nd place. the 1st placers got 85% while we got 83%... super close fight. the 3rd place kasi got 79% na eh. anyways, we also won Best Appetizer and Best Main Course. for apps, we made a Tomato and Seafood Tatin. we served it with pistachio crusted scallops and a sauteed 5-spice prawn. for the main course naman, we made Chicken Purses with creamy red wine sauce and served it with flat couscous and sauteed sugar snap peas. HAY!!!! stress... but good stress. dito talaga ako napagod. OH! for dessert, we made a chocolate cake with creme anglaise and kiwi coulis. we didn't win the best dessert though. hehehe pero okay lang.
so anyways... this was an interesting YHE. i was part of the awards committee but i wasn't allowed to look at the results. hehe super strict nga now eh. ulitmong yung awards comm members, hindi alam.
this was a fun and tiring week.....
