JUNIOR MASTERCHEF PINOY EDITION: SEAFOOD CHALLENGE FOR LAST BATCH!

ANOTHER reason why i love SATURDAYS..its because of JUNIOR MASTERCHEF!

In their episode last night...the final batch was challenged to with SEAFOODS!

Oh boy...i so envied the shrimps and the crabs...how i wish i was there to grab my share too..and here i am thinking that i am a good cook myself. Those kids really can cook and create such impressive seafood dishes. I am really impressed!

What was your favorite seafood dish last night? Me? SHRIMPS, SHRIMPS AND MORE SHRIMPS, second is the KUNONOT NA PAGI. My dad can cook LINARANG NA PAGI..we call it here KIAMPAW in Cebu and there are techniques to master so that the foul smell of PAGi will disappear and really it is a difficult dish to execute. So TWO THUMBS UP again to those kids...even those who did not make it to the top 30.




When it comes to cooking...i have like TONS AND TONS of things to learn and THOUSANDS OF hours to practice in the kitchen.

So looking forward for next week!

JUNIOR MASTERCHEF PINOY EDITION: AMAZING COOKING SKILLS OF THE KIDS!

WOW! AMAZING! WHAT A TALENT and GREAT COOKING SKILLS! its already a SHOWDOWN and to think the show just aired the first episode of JUNIOR MASTERCHEF PINOY EDITION!


Last Saturday the first episode aired and 60 kid contestants paraded with a cheerful crowd of parents welcomed them to their kitchen..it is HUGE by the way and really a true copy of the kitchen that we see in JUNIOR MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA...im a fan of that show by the way but sad to say most of the dishes that are featured in the AUSTRALIAN Edition somehow i could not relate since we don't eat those kind of foods...and now that PINOY EDITION is here..i couldn't be more HAPPIER! AND PROUDER.


First challenge for the 20 kid contestants was to create a dish that they usually serve during FIESTA celebration..A KID from CEBU cooked PORK CALDERETA and yes PHILIP made it through the second round...AND THEN other kids from other regions of the ARCHIPELAGO created their dishes..most are very new to my eyes and it really IMPRESSED ME...technically wise, execution, creativity and to perform in such TIME PRESSURE..FOR ME all of them are already winners!

THE hosts were very good in commending the talents of the kids and MS. JUDY ANN SANTOS-AGONCILLO is very fitting and fun to handle the kiddos...she still has that charisma!


NEXT WEEK will be the second batch and i think they will be serving DESSERTS!

SO, see you guys next week!
