I have always admired chefs + watched tons of cooking shows on the tellie dreaming I was cooking the same delicious + mouth-watering recipes in my own fully-equipped kitchen. That is why I was excited when I got an invite from Mr. NomNom himself, Jonel, to join him in the Eton-Centris leg of SM Hypermarket’s’ SM Masterchefs Cooking Marathon 2011 a few weeks back. It was also my first time to travel to Eton-Centris so I was looking forward to the idea with anticipation.
For that day’s cooking demo, it was Chef Menoy Gimenez‘s turn to showcase his cooking prowess + boy what a brilliant chef he is! He actually made everything looked very easy that I was looking forward to making my own version of it in the future (when I’ve mustered enough guts, that is! :))
Here’s the recipe of what Chef Menoy cooked for us that day:
