A Short Note of Thanks

The New Addition to Our Mantle

The 2009 Best Food and Beverage Blog

The mother of all surprises.

None of us expected to win this year. Truth be told, I was already preparing my ‘Susan Lucci of the Philippine Blog World’ shtick. I guess I won’t be needing that overused cliché.

Last October 9, the Philippine Blog Awards’ panel of judges voted Table for Three, Please as the Best Food and Beverage Blog for 2009.

We are humbled by the honor.

‘It takes a village…’ is another overused term. And yet for Table for Three, Please, it is a very apt one. There are so many people, known and unknown, who have made this blog what it is today.

To all contributors (past and present), photographers, guest bloggers, editors, chefs, bakers and (last but not the least) readers of Table for Three, Please—a warm and most heartfelt thank you. We couldn’t have done this without all of you.

Growing Up Indian in the Philippines: A Culinary Journey

By sanju on 17 June, 2015

It was golden brown, glistening in all its newly fried glory and looked like a little disc. My maternal grandmother handed it to me with a dollop of sweetened mango pickles and encouraged me to take a bite. At first, I was hesitant being only six or seven at the time, pizza this was not. …read »

Guilty Pleasures: Nagaraya Cracker Nuts

By sanju on 9 March, 2015

Crunchy…Various tasty Favors…Pairs well with Alcohol…Enough said. Actually to elaborate just a little bit more, Nagaraya Cracker Nuts have been my all time go to snack, whether at home, away at the beach or any other junk food appropriate occasion I can think of. My favorite flavors are Barbeque and Original. For alcoholic pairings, I …read »

Book Review: Garlic And Sapphires: The Secret Life Of A Critic In Disguise

By sanju on 26 January, 2015

I have started to listen to audio books lately as I go to and from work. I find that it relaxes me and takes my mind away from the stress that driving in traffic brings. Last year, I was able to finish eight audio books with subjects ranging from history, fiction and Michael Jordan. Not …read »

Before Blogging: Peter Luger Steak House

By sanju on 21 November, 2014

Over a late dinner recently, I was telling Kitchyart how difficult it was to write articles before blogging became popular. Photos were not used that much, this forced the writer to convey what he wants to say exclusively through words. As an example, I told her about an article I wrote about Peter Luger Steak …read »

My Angkong’s Noodles; A Chinese-Filipino Cookbook

By Anonymous Paul on 20 October, 2014

China has had ties with the Philippines since the pre-Hispanic 11th century (some say even earlier than that). And it was not uncommon for traders from the Mainland to settle, marry Filipinas and have families; thus giving rise to the Chinoys. Which makes some facets of Chinese culture, especially food, so ingrained in our systems …read »

In Defense of Being Positive

By sanju on 20 May, 2014

Over the weekend, one of my friends JM mentioned to me that he had heard other people comment to him that our blog should post more negative reviews of restaurants. This is not the first time that I have heard this comment. It has been repeated to me frequently through the years. I cannot say …read »

Hallelujah! A Recreation of Babette’s Feast

By sanju on 26 February, 2014

A few months ago, Noel Ermitaño, who writes one of the best blogs on wine called Eye On Wine, broached the subject online of whether it would be possible to do a recreation of the grand meal depicted in the 1987 movie, Babette’s Feast. Within minutes he got a reply from Chef Cyrille Soenen (of …read »

Ugly Food: Cow Udders and Fish Livers

By Kitchyart on 8 November, 2013

In our home, my Ibanag mom calls cow udders as “Pukal” but in Tagalog it’s called “Sinuso”. I thought of writing about this because it’s been years since my family encountered this dish again and I learned that’s this is not quite a common part to eat today. I’ve done a bit of reading online …read »

On the Cheap: Egg Pie

By Kitchyart on 23 September, 2013

I found myself at the airport parking lot one evening, looking for something to chew on. Food choices at the airport are pretty slim, so I took a peek at the coffee shop. I found something that I hadn’t eaten in ages: egg pie. I wasn’t sure if the slice of egg pie was so …read »

On the Cheap: The Twinkie Virgin

By sanju on 18 September, 2013

Hi, my name is Sanju and I am a Twinkie virgin. Well, no longer as I was finally able to try this iconic confection recently. I actually had two chances within the past few months. Initially, I was gifted one by Richard of talesfromthetummy.com. However, my kids ate the aforementioned Twinkie before I had …read »

HEART!

By sanju on 13 August, 2013

I know that this is a food blog, however, I will divert from regular programming to talk about the recent win of our Gilas National Basketball Team against Korea. I normally leave the sportswriting to my friend Rick Olivares. Check out his excellent blog Bleachers Brew for more in depth analysis when you have the …read »

Table Conversation: The Speculoos Spread / Cookie Butter Invasion

By Kitchyart on 21 March, 2013

There’s a big chance that you’ve all seen jars of speculoos spread, both smooth and crunchy, in all forms of social media. I am guilty of posting a couple of photos myself. I was lucky enough to have discovered this a year before it became extremely popular through some friends who brought me a jar …read »

On Eating Break: The Velocity Diet

By sanju on 22 February, 2013

The past two years have been great. I traveled quite a bit, ate in a few Michelin starred restaurants and many holes in the wall as well. I also collaborated on a book and met many new friends along the way. Unfortunately, enjoying life too much has consequences. I gained 20 lbs. Despite exercising 6 …read »

Do You Still Drink Yakult?

By Kitchyart on 26 October, 2012

Did you ever drink Yakult as a child? I still remember the TV ads talking about Lactobacilli Shirota strain and a flash of the digestive tract on the screen with the matching Yakult tune. It seemed to me that every home had a pack of Yakult in the fridge since I had so much of …read »
