Juicy Sushi Dinner

I was invited by my friend Melissa Sue to a Themed Dinner Party at the house of the Manguerra's along Gorordo Ave, Cebu City weeks ago... I admit that, that was the first time I met some of her friends but they are truly perfectly friendly... They have such bright personalities that being around with them makes you so Happy!....

We started the night by cooking and preparing all the menu's for the JUICY SUSHI DINNER. Maya and Charisse prepared their mouthwatering Chicken Terriyaki and Roasted Zucchini's- Great recipe!, Chessy (our Dinner host in pink) made some Eggplant based appetizer and tempting Sushi's- Super Delish! and Melissa Sue (in black) and I made some magic on our Prawn Tempura- simply Scrumptious!. Lee was the Iron Chef that night orchestrating us in the kitchen! LOL!

At first, I thought that preparing Sushi was very difficult, until Chessy have me experienced doing it and she explained the mixture of the Japanese rice and the techniques in rolling Sushi....of course! we're no Japanese so, we don't follow strict rules making the recipe...Belle also tried doing and experimenting on what kind of fresh ingredients blends well together... truly a "Gay-sha" work! LOL!

Everyone was excited and hungry - and the next thing we've noticed was we've almost devoured
everything! only a few Sushi's and Tempura left for our food Photography! Maya's Chicken Terriyaki was a BIG hit!. We failed to take a photo of it.

Traditionally, the process of making Sushi can be traced here in Southeast Asia, it has grown to a wide number of variations and was recognized internationally and it still remains popular up to this day and what we've created suits our very discriminating palate.

A Japanese dinner is best with rice wine (Sake) and Green tea, but we've ended it up with Ice cream (brought by a genuinely straight hunk named Vince LOL)......this adds to the flavors of fusion cuisine!.....

Cheers!
