Media Noche 2019

Happy New Year! 2019 is just a few hours old but it seems to be full of life and of course, gastronomic delights.
Amidst the fireworks and revelries, food ushers in the new year with the traditional media noche. So what's on our table welcoming the new year?

It's always a mix of the traditional and all-time favorites mingling with the new food finds!
For starters, there's the GLAZED HAM and QUESO DE BOLA. 
It's almost, always Purefoods Fiesta Ham and Magnolia Edam Cheese  Ball on the table. 
There's also TUNA SPAGHETTI with CHEESEWHIZ TOPPING,  RIGATONI CHICKEN SALAD and RIGATONI CHICKEN SOUP from the assorted Christmas Goodies basket I got from all the party raffles.  

There's also FRUIT CAKE  from Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo.  
Our breads came mainly from Tinapayan Bakeshop - PANETTONE, CHEESE PIMIENTO LOAF, BACON N CHEESE LOAF and DINNER ROLLS. 
Completing the Tinapayan hoard is the indulgent BLACKOUT CHEESECAKE   
We decided to keep it light with red and green grape sparking juices.
And speaking of grapes, we had a fresh bunch coming for the DENILA GRAPES FARM to complete our basket of 12 round fruits for the traditional new year centerpiece.

Again HAPPY NEW YEAR!
