Art's cooking: December 2010

Merry Christmas To All!!!

Artscooking blog will temporarily sign off. Syempre, dahil nagpapasko rin naman ang taga-blog... hehehe!

And so we wish you the best of the holidays. We wish that your troubles be less, and may only joy and happines come through your way, and most important of all, that your wishes come true!

Cheers to everyone.... at Maligayang Pasko!

Meanwhile, we leave you with this heartfelt christmas song from Sheena Easton...wink! wink!

Xmas at AC Dec 9-10

This is part 3 of Artscooking Christmas pix series. The intent is to capture asmuch smiles of our customers behind our Christmas tree.

This week, we were only able to get 3 contributions from our suki's since we lost our 'point & shoot' cam from last week. Celfones (the cheap ones, which we have) are not really reliable.

Anyways, smiles as long as they're sweet and sincere, regardless of the number, are still precious! Check them out:

To our regular customers at AC canteen, you may still send and contribute your pix. Don't be shy to grace our page.

Cheers!

Our services is not confined to setting up your food in a buffet table. We also cater to pick-up's. Just like December 10, when colleagues Lito Villanca and Lito Bonus decided to order some of our top-of-the-line menu.

What makes picking-up food from our place a great deal is seeing the excitement gear up in the faces of our clients. Oh, you should try how we do it. We would love to see your brand of facial expression.

And should we witness how you smile with that 'wow factor' when you see your order....ohh, it will be priceless!

Cheers

Happy Birthday Richmond!

Event: Richmond Quinn's 1st Birthday Celebration

Date: 9 December 2010

Place: Usfan, Jeddah

The first birthday is a day of light and sparkle, of how sunny tiny smiles light up even the biggest of gatherings. It is still a wonder how the most innocent of joy can bring about happy energy and contagious happiness to one and all who come and celebrate this wonderful event. But that's just the way it is.

So, happy birthday baby Richmond! May you grow in love and compassion, and just like an eagle that soars high, may you grow with big wide feathers to reach your dreams and accomplish your feat!

Cheers!

For this event, the theme of the celebration was 'camouflage'. The closest we have is our metallic teal skirting with off-white swag. We decided to put our stone-finished fountain to add to the effect:

For menu, we served the following: Squid balls, Fish Fillet, Chicken Garlic, Fried Chicken, Chinese Fried Rice, Ginataang Mongo & Corn Soup.

Squid balls
Chinese Fried Rice

Chicken Garlic

Fish Fillet

Fried Chicken

Xmas at AC Dec 2-3

First, please don't be mad if you won't see your pictures here. Here's what happened - the smart phone that we used to get pix got lost - as in wa! nil! mafi!

Losing mobile phone is not really bad. It's the loosing and re-building contacts which is the real deal. So, calling our friends and clients who have become close to our hearts, please e-mail us your contact details once again at artscooking@yahoo.com. If you have been one of our clients, we would also appreciate if you can send details of our services to you, for example, the date and the place (point us the site if we were able to blog it... that would be fantastic!).

Having said that, we only relied on friends who took shots last Dec 2 to 3 and were kind enough to send us thru our email artscooking@yahoo.com. They were so kind, they let us claim the shots and so we marked them as property of Artscooking. Kudos to you guys!

Special mention to Gadi & Monica, the Laredo couple, who brought with them fantastic cam. If you want photo services, you should contact this couple. Salamat talaga!

Second, in relation to first. Ayun! kaya wala rin kami mapakita pix ng fud we served during the two lunch events of eat-all-you-can buffet ng Artscooking.

Sensya na talaga! nahihiya kami!

Third, now on with the fun stuffs:

Aba! aba! Even Mr. Kapeng Arabo himself signed copies of his book during the event.

Kaya kain na rin kayo sa Artscooking. Every Thursday and Friday lunch time (only). It's eat-all-you-can bonanza!

Happy Birthday Azenette!

Event: Azenette's Birthday Celebration

Date: 2 December 2010

Place: Sheraton Villages, Obhur (Jeddah's beach area)

We swear we never could guess at what age our birthday girl Azenette is celebrating. But this we are so sure of - that this petite sweet and very charming lass is having the best times of her life with her friends and loved ones.

Judging by the crowd during the event, we can sense her fulfillment and her thankfulness for all the blessings that have come her way. With that, who could ask for more.

Well, as it is always said, never ever ask a girl her age, or else....you'll get in trouble!

Cheers!

The place is very similar to Al Nakheel (Sheratoon, too) except that the cottages have no balcony and second level. It is very nice and we noticed lots of Filipinos PARTYing that night. For the benefit of our readers outside of KSA, invasion of a certain place by Pinoys is a guaranteed all night fun. And since we need to prepare for our buffet lunch at Artscooking canteen the following day, we figuratively died in envy.... wink! wink!

Here's Artscooking set-up:

Artscooking Menu: Chicken Curry, Beef Broccoli, Shrimp Rolls, Lumpiang Shanghai, Mixed Friend Rice, Fish/Squid Balls in Sweet & Sour Sauce, Fruit Tarts, Cup Cakes, Butchi & Puto.
