I know this is already late but i will post it anyway.
That day, the sun was shining bright, though it rained so hard in the afternoon (i thought it would never stop). I was able to catch some sleep but only just for a few hours and though i needed more, i was a bit giddy that day.
It wasn't just an ordinary work meeting that day, it was scheduled by the management at the newly opened fine dining restaurant of our very own Dr. Jonathan G. noble and Mr. Irwin Pascual, who are very dear friends and both share a passion for cooking. Well what an exciting treat right? and i never thought i'd be able to set foot on it when it was still being built. Haha. However we are still lucky that we were able to taste the cooking of Dr. Jonathan even before it became viral to the public.
How to get to the Kitchen Lab?
So we were from San Nicolas, and we had to commute our way to the place. The kitchen lab can be found at the (i can say) heart of Laoag City, Ilocos Norte. It is situated at the second floor of the White house which can be found at the corner across GMW Trans. We took a tricycle, because rain was pouring really hard and to avoid the hassle of commuting from one ride to another. But you can take a jeepney to laoag and a tricycle once you are at Laoag. They'll know where the White House is, for it has been called that way back in the beginning. They have transformed the place into a totally different scene, you could see it from the outside, you wouldn't want to miss the chance to step foot on it. It looks even more inviting in the evening.
We were asked to wear black and white which was the motif that day. And as we pushed open the door, a staff stood ajar greeting us with a smile.
We had reserved seats at the corner they had probably intended for business meeting and gatherings.
The place wasn't that big but it was enough, since you wouldn't probably go there to just see the place but to enjoy the orgasmic food they offer.
As my eyes
enjoyed such elegance, my stomach protested as it got hungrier by the minute.
But we had to wait.
Our food was
already ordered for us even before we arrived. We started the meeting as we
waited for the dishes to arrive. If i got it right, it took them 45 minutes to
fully prepare it aside from the fact that they were serving other walk in
customers that night.
Truffled
Fettucini - fettucini tossed in truffle cream sauce topped with crispy mushroom
Squid
ink pasta (seasonal) - squid ink fresh pasta in uni sauce topped with crispy
longganisa
CAB Ribeye 12 oz
I didn't care
how long it took. It was worth the wait for me.
The steak was
heaven. It was perfectly seasoned, the spice and flavour explodes into
your mouth. I couldn't stop eating. (Pardon me for being so matakaw, as i
really dig food.) and tasting them made me feel like i was chef gordon ramsey
in madterchef except that i didn't know what to say. I am still dreaming of it,
i wanna go back. I'd prolly go well some time. Hahahaha.
