They said that for the wedding, you should invest on two things -- great photos and amazing food. We do like to eat, but we don't have gifted palettes that enjoy complex recipes. We eat what we like, we eat what we crave. So for our wedding, we used that as our guide. When we were picking our caterer, we based our decision solely on the food. So far, we are happy about our pick and hopefully, our guests will be too.
We had food tasting with them in Merville earlier this week, supposedly that was our 'final' menu, but we weren't thrilled with a couple of the choices so we attended their food tasting event in Fernwood. That way, we can taste the other options and select the table centerpieces that we would use for our reception.
We also decided on the arrangements during the event. We had this option during our 'final' food tasting but we had to pay 1,000 pesos. Since we didn't mind making the drive to Fernwood, we advised our AE Rina that we would just check the set up at the food tasting. The styling we chose will be very simple -- we didn't hire a separate stylists anymore and we will just work with Center Table so we can achieve a look that will compliment the venue.
We've attended food tastings with Center Table in the past. In fact, for this week, we had two. Takaw?!

These were the food served for the event. Sorry friends, most of the items featured here are not the ones we picked, hehe! They were already served to us in the 'final' food tasting, and I didn't get to take photos of those. Again, dahil sa takaw!
Beef Short Plate (spot carving)
Meat was tender with just the right amount of saltiness, skin was crisp, good flavor even without the dipping sauce.

Rolled Shrimps with Chili Sauce
- Surprisingly good. We had this at our first food tasting with them at Fernbrook and I didn't like it that time. For this batch though, the shrimps were bigger, and tastes better. It can be a great finger food.

Eclair
- My most loved dessert. It tastes like broas.

Mango Shots
- Not a big fan. It should probably be served chilled, otherwise, it tastes like melted mango shake.

Blueberry Cheesecake
- It tastes like a regular cake, can't say anything bad about it. For those who would like to mix in non-chocolate dessert to their menu this is a safe choice.

Chocolate Mousse
- I enjoyed eating this. It reminded me of melted chocolate that we snack on during lazy days.

Buko Pandan and Fruite Pannacotta
- Didn't try these, but in terms of presentation, it can be a good choice to add color to your dessert bar presentation.
Stark red roses are out; we will be sticking with the soft pastels and no frills flower arrangements. We've decided on the set-up for the guest and the presidential tables, the table cloths and the cake, my assignment now are the tiffany chairs... to have tie-backs or to not have tie-backs? I can't decide na! I'm giving myself two weeks. ",)
