Chesa Bianca feels like a winter log cabin
The Fatterside invaded it in the heat of summer
"Come in your coziest winter cabin outfits (long sleeves, coats, layers, knitwear, scarves, mittens, boots...) as we fondue it out with cheese, chocolate, and cabin treats," said my cousin Archie's birthday sms invite.
Seriously??? In this oven?!?!?!
YES.
That's our birthday boy in his Jack Frost outfit!
Ohmygulay, feel na feel nila!
All the food we had that night was hearty and scrumptious.
Even this bread! Everyone got one complimentary roll, then they started charging P50 for each
succeeding piece
Amuse bouche of salmon spread on toast
Chesa Bianca Platter - thinly sliced air dried meat delicacies from grison
Sausage Platter
Gender Fondue - my favorite!
Emmental, gruyere and raclette cheese flavored with morels
This was soooooooooooo good I scraped the sides and bottoms of the pan squeaky clean.
(Please don't ask how many P50-peso breads I consumed to accomplish this mission)
Roschti Oberland - crisp Swiss roesti topped with smoked ham over baked with raclette cheese,
topped with a fried egg
Swiss spatzli with cheese and cream, topped with fried onions
Sliced Veal Zurich Style - in a mushroom cream sauce served with crisp Swiss roesti potatoes
We requested a pork version for the non-beef eaters
Rosemary Marinated Chicken - oven roasted rosemary and garlic chicken served with
mushroom risotto
Braised Lamb Shank - in cabernet merlot sauce with ratatouille and mashed potatoes
The bottles
The Birthday Cakes (clockwise from top left):
Nikko's Homemade Oreo Ice Cream Cake, Mary Grace Mango Bene,
Chesa Bianca Chocolate Cake, Banana Choco Chip Pajero Cake
The oldies thought the skull was bad omen and ordered it removed from the cake immediately. Lol!
Happy Birthday, Archibald!!!
It's got nothing to do with our winter theme, but birthday giveaways were these toothpick holders.
#tooexcitedforeaster :P
Again, another fun-filled dinner with good food, great company, except...
Ang init talaga!!!
"Ate, can you PLEASE put the aircon on high?"
Can't blame them for thinking we're a bunch of retards.
