Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side.

Golden Chopsticks Somai and Wanton

Sometimes we want to just eat at home than eating at a Chinese Restaurant. My friend brought some Somai to our home. We asked, where it came thinking it came from a restaurant. She had told me the brand is Golden Chopsticks. I was told there was a stall near Christ the King Church every Sunday.

Address:
Christ the King Church
Green Meadows Parking Lot
Green Meadows Avenue, Quezon City

I did some research online and found a Chinese grocery that actually sells it for PHP 280.00 per package. The content has twenty pieces pork and shrimp siomai and the shrimp wanton.

The name of the Chinese grocery store is Save & Fresh the contact number is 0289297090. It is best to call them ahead and make a reservation on how many packages you would like to pick up.





The ingredient has no extenders, so the meat is really fresh.

You will need a steamer to cook the Somai.

Cooking instruction:

It is best to defrost the Somai before you intend to cook it.

Separate the Somai by using a knife.

Boil water into the steamer

Add the Somai inside the steamer

Cook for thirty minutes.

Best serve hot.

It comes with chili sauce just need Kikkoman lite soy sauce.

The package also has instructions. I find the fifteen minutes cooking the Somai is not fully cooked.

Wanton can be cooked with soup if you choose too.

2 leaks of green onion chopped
4 cup chicken broth
1 package cooked egg noodles (optional)
