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.

American Time



Manang V had informed Carmina that two families will be celebrating Easter with us. The problem the supplier where Manang V order her meat and fish is out of town for the Easter holiday.

Coming down to the point when you have people who always complain what they're eating might as well cook at home with what ingredients you have and purchase the rest online through Grab Mart.

Next day came a day before Easter Sunday Carmina had discuss with Manang V since she had fish that arrived given by someone might as well cook it.

Manang V decided to make it into Escabech Sweet and Sour Lapu Lapu.


Our traditional Sunday's Menu is Kare Kare in which Manang V decided to cook for the family and employees.




Carmina decided to make Lazy Sushi and Kani Salad her specialties for family gathering.



Our soup will be Sabu Sabu where everyone can have something full to eat during this Easter meal.


Manang V said to Carmina your so unbelievable your American time where what you say you actually do it without hesitance. There is action rather other people are procrastinating.

Manang V and Carmina had prepared the food a day ahead to make sure we had all the ingredients in each dish.

We can say we all achieve and our Easter meals were a successful one where we can now rest for the coming week.
