Art's cooking: March 2011

Event: Retro Party

Date: March 10, 2011

Place: Al Hajrayan Compound

Theme party ba kamo? Well, Pinoys in Jeddah really rock one night when Seranata, a group of accomplished individuals held a get-together event for a cause, staged a Retro party.

The theme of the night was "Back to 70's", and behold! A reminiscing of the past transpired as each couple (and singles) appeared in 70's wardrobe with matching accessories galore. The music couldn't be far behind. Because all the songs seemed to take you down the memory lane...wink! wink!

The event was figuratively rockin' and dancin' all night, with Artscooking (syempre naman) to fuel the energy on the dance floor...naks!

Here's Artscooking set-up:

Artscooking menu during the event: Chicken Rolls, Kare-kare, Calamares, Mixed veggies, Lomi Soup, Fruit salad.

Event: Al Hekma Jewels Grand Coronation Night

Place: Sheraton Al Sahel (Obhur), Jeddah

Date & Time: 9PM 3rd of March 2010

It is Artscooking's pleasure to cater to Al Hekma Jewels' Grand Coronation Night. Al Hekma is one of Jeddah's finest and strongest educational institutions that is truly Pinoy.

That night, we also witnessed raw talents from singing to dancing exhibited by guest-students from various Philippine schools in Jeddah. And we are truly surprised to know that indeed, there are precious jewels hiding in this seemingly conservative part of the world. And you know what? Showbiz talent scouts should scour these gems. For all we know, the next big Philippine stars will come from these young ones.

While this is not our first time to cater to this area (the small ones), but this is our first to step on the resort's biggest venue. Well, the organizer has to fit in a group of 400 pax, right. And it has the best view ever! Look at some of the pix below:

Thanks to our colleague Mr. Ernie Jayme who provided us some of the stills (btw, he also the hosted the show. You were shining buddy- literally. Wootwoo!)

Here's Artscooking set-up. We apologize for a poorly taken shots as the entire place were dimly lit (besides, those were celfone cam grab only).

We had juice fountains (and juicer), and choco fondue which were instant hits with the kids.
