CHAMELEON

Most are born to fit in. 

Some are born just to blend in. 

Only few can stand out.

But I can easily fit in, blend in & stand out!

Oh yes, I'm painting it green this time!

Green is not really my cup of tea,

But don't you agree?

Green just perfectly renews my free-spirited aura!

So let me show you 2 settings with 1 look.

THE CITY GIRL

Wedge | Wade
Skirt | Muffin Clothing

My tip for you today to rock this simplistic look is MIND THE DETAILS!
Accessories can make or break any look.
So make sure you add some sizzle by playing with the right blings.

Green Fairy Top | Soigné Clothing

My sassy sweet girl look makes me stand out from the city.
Don't you agree?
It's as if I bring color to a dull neighborhood!

Before I move to the next setting, come meet my twin!
Twinie's rocking her party look with a similar top also from Soigné Clothing.
Oh girls, you should definitely check this store out for the latest finds!

THE NATURE GIRL

Necklace | Murano Glass Fulvia from Venice
Shades | Fly Shades

Have you noticed how a change of setting can spice up one's look?
This definitely brings more drama to my look!
And of course, the glitzy pieces are part of the style factor.

TRIVIA:

Chameleons change color not to hide from predators.

They change color because of their moods!

Oh, I bet you didn't know that one too!!!

Fashion don't just define you. 

It re-invents you!

It paints a colorful picture of who you are.

It's really the way you carry yourself that brings out the life in your clothes.

Fashion, for me, is a personality and mood indicator.
It is the most creative and stylish way of expression.
It is the simplest way of gauging a person and leaving an impression!

 

Change is really the most constant thing in this world.

Moods change.

 People change. 

Circumstances change.

But my love and taste for fashion won't ever change!

Php 2,000 net/person

1 Night Only.

1 Master Chef.

Yes, the price of royalty ain’t cheap!

You obviously have to pay the price to become a self-proclaimed emperor.

And I definitely felt like one with this oh-so-royal feast!

So let the HUNGER GAMES begin!

Salmon and Shrimp Paste Filled Flower Pastry

I just love how a simple salmon & shrimp fried dumpling can taste and look so royal. 

This concoction is drenched in a Jufran-like sauce!

Hand Tossed Abalone with Shredded Vegetables

The trick to enjoy this entrée is to literally mix everything on this plate. 

The sweet-spicy-tangy taste perfectly complements one another, no one ingredient overpowering the other!
I just love the crunchiness & freshness of the ingredients, with the generous serving of abalone. 

Three-Treasure Boiled Coconut Soup

Oh, this is indeed a unique treasure find! The coconut shell distinctly encapsulates the flavorful pork broth.

 Every sip brings a sense of satisfaction and fullness that just takes my breath away.
I just love the sauna-like effect this hearty soup provides me!

Sauteed Lobster with Wolfberry and Wild Mushrooms

Who wouldn't fall in love with lobsters?! 

The rich creamy egg-whites taste made this a winner!

Sliced Duck with Honeydew and Cucumber

The succulent peking duck sandwich is indeed a fresh twist to the usual peking duck wrap!

Who would have thought that honeydew could perfect the duck skin and crouton combo?!

Braised Home Made Spinach Skin Beancurd with Enoki Mushrooms

This is just magical! Something so healthy can be this delicious, now that's a masterpiece!

I just love how creative the spinach is laid on top of a fried beancurd bedding.

Chocolate Pudding Topped with Mango

There will always be room for desserts. And I tell you, this is one treat you can't miss!

I just love how the dry ice excites people. It just gives an Abracadabra feel to that royal dessert.

Oh yes, it was a night like no other!
Thank you Gloria Maris for coming up with this HUNGER GAMES series.
Congratulations Chef Ache, the second master chef for this second series!
I truly enjoyed this successful event.
Surely Cong. Mandanas, Manny & Cynthia Villar, Tonton Gutierrez, amongst others had a blast too!

Oh! I just can't wait for the third series on OCTOBER 16, 2013 | 7:30PM
It's Chef Ahua's turn with his FLAMING FEAST.

A Royal Emperor.

I've been there.

 I've been one. 

And I want to be one again!

Trust me, it's worth it!

So don't you dare miss this chance.

Who will be the Master Chef Survivor?

Who will claim the throne of a victor?

Only you can decide.

Your palate will say so!
