Diner en Blanc

This has got to be one of the coolest things in my book! I feel so cool for stumbling upon this so-called "Diner en Blanc"  Le dîner en blanc.

It originated in Paris in 1988 as a reunion of friends (everyone wore white in order to recognize one another), that has since grown to 10,000.  This "pop-up" party happens every year (each year in new location) and the attendees dressed entirely in white comes together at an undiclosed location through a word-of-mouth campaign. Organizers pick the perfect secret location and guests arrange their tables, plate their own salads, turn on their LED votives, arrange charcuterie boards and bring their own bottle(s) of bubbly and there's jazz music playing over the background.

Sounds amazing right? But ofcourse, the French are civilized and sophisticated like that.

 

Watch these videos. I know I'm gonna say it again, but this is soo cool! I wish that I get to be a part of something like this once in my lifetime.

Peking Garden

Another discount coupon. Peking Duck for only P1,700.  This was supposed to be a treat for our family but everyone else was busy that night and we had to use the coupon already, so J and I decided to brave Peking Garden in Trinoma all by ourselves.

Peking Duck P2,200 + P300 for every way

Deep Fried Duck- >pampulutan!

We only had it done 2 ways, I'm not fond of the soup and I didn't want any more wraps (minced duck meat with lettuce wrap) so I chose to have it deep-fried instead. We ordered salted fish fried rice to go with it. I know... I know what you're thinking... glutton much?  I think, this deep- fried way is perfect as your "pulutan" for those drinking sessions with friends.

I'm no expert when it comes to judging good Chinese food, let alone a Peking Duck. My husband is part Chinese and he says Peking Garden has got to be one of the best Chinese Restaurants here and I believe him. haha. But, here's what I have to say about their duck, the meat was really succulent and THE skin, oh the skin was crisp and barely had any fat on it... duck heaven! I almost felt guilty. All in all, though quite dizzy from all the fat/msg intake with our stomachs shamelessly filled to the brim, we were happy for having had a Peking Duck at Peking Garden.  =)
