We were invited to attend a baking demo by Chef Hasset Go at the Culinary Institute of  Cagayan de Oro, and I was happy to be part of it for just quite a while as the chef actually allowed us to do some of the things he did like folding ingredients, setting or even decorating or arranging garnish. The invitation was at 9 am but since we had to wait for a few more attendees, we started an hour late. And so we were only able to finish two cakes. 

 The Caramel Custard Cake, which was heavenly.

 And of course, the awaited Chocolate Truffle Cake, which was divine.

A slice of the yummy Chocolate Truffle Cake wouldn't be enough to satiate my chocolate cravings which automatically occurred as soon as I saw the finished product...

Good that we were given a slice of each cake to share as the seven of us were done with the delicious lunch.

The Chicken was to die for. I wonder if their students prepared them too. I loved how juicy the chicken was, and how the taste develops every time you chew. Anyway, if it's CIC recipe, I wish to learn about it so I can prepare it for myself too.

 To cap the visit, we were each given the above cookie packets, and they were actually prepared by CIC students as tokens for today's open house... I didn't get to taste them, but Lili and River says they were good. So I take their word for them..

The Move, The Beach and Fresh Sea Food..

Shop at More Food Adventures

Yesterday we went as early as 4 in the morning to move things to my parents temporary abode in Opol, as well as to our new apartment here in Macasandig. I thought we'd all be staying at the apartment but my father said he is not comfortable there so the idea of moving in Opol before moving to their new home in Gran Europa. 

 After our first round of moving stuff, we decided, since my mom had been coughing and the two kids had been having runny nose, to go to the beach and take a dip. Eventually, since there were lots of peddlers selling fresh fish, we had breakfast at the beach too..

 

A lady peddler offered to have the fish broiled at a minimal fee, and another peddler sold boiled sweet potatoes. And that was a hearty, fresh breakfast for us. 

We also bought some fishes and crabs to take home for lunch. When we went to get stuff from the Balulang house, which was hit by TS Sendong flash flood, we saw the old couch and sofa. I wish we could find  discount upholstery fabric for the sofa, so we can have it changed. But my family decided not to take them anymore. 

The move continued on until we got tired of moving stuff to two different houses. My stuff at the apartment were mostly heavy as they are the books I have collected over the years. I guess if I didn't move out of my parent's place, they'd also be gone by now.
