Media Noche

As promised, am posting pictures of the food I prepared for last night's Media Noche (thanks to my husband who volunteered to take pictures of them). We also had Carbonara, puto (rice cake), Maja Blanca, papaitan and bopis which our flatmates shared with us. 

Media Noche meal :)

Paella

Chow Mein (Pancit Canton)

Plum cake which tasted so much like fruit cake without the dark rum

our Lucky 13 fruits (bananas, apricot, peaches, kiwi, grapes, red pear, yellow pear, McIntosh apple, green apple, Valencia orange, grapefruit, nectarine, and plum)

For dessert we had Plum cake (their version of Fruit cake without the rum) and we paired this with blue and edam cheese. We also had fruit salad while my husband prepared gelatin. 

New Year Menu

We all went to the grocery yesterday to buy the stuff that we need for tonights'  Media Noche. I expected not to cook much on the eve of New Year but my husband wanted something special to send the old year off. He requested me to cook Paella, and Chow Mein while the kids requested for fruit salad. We bought a quarter each of edam and blue cheese for the "mini" festive dinner.  And to complete the menu my husband also requested for gelatin which he volunteered to prepare that is if I successfully get him to wake up before I start getting busy in the kitchen :) Will make sure that I get pictures of our Media Noche dinner and post it as soon as I can. Happy New Year to everyone! May we all have Peace in our hearts!
