Home Party Menu

[iceebaby]

You can rent out chaffing dish sa mga party shops or caterer instead of buying. Nakita ko lang dati sa isang party shop who rents out tables/chairs.

BER months na so medyo nagiisip-isip na ako ulit on how to celebrate my daughter's 2nd birthday this coming december.  sa house lang yung party then home-cooked yung food.  im thinking spaghetti, hotdog on stick, chicken fingers, ice cream, cup cakes. puro kids lang naman ng kapitbahay namin ang pupunta... no fuss!

[dyann***]

^ ako din nag-iisip ng menu & other things for my son's 3rd birthday on Oct.3.
Last Year for kids, we had spaghetti, chicken, maja blanca.
For adults naman we had palabok, chicken, maja blanca.
Lahat naka-styro na kasi sa sobrang dami ng guests wala ng space for buffet table.

This year sana gusto ko mas konti guests para hindi masyadong maingay and para mas maluwag ang garage namin 

Ano kayang menu naman ngayon? May spaghetti & chicken pa rin syempre, and what else kaya?

Then we had clowns last year, this year ok lang kaya may clowns ulit?

[maui_chie]

^ i saw yesterday sis, at qtv, parang papatok sa kids yung corn dog. sayang nga sis, kung nauna ko lang napanood yun, naisama sana sa menu ng baby ko nung bday nya. haha

[chellesunshine]

meron bang mga moms dito,namagshare ng info about cooking home cooked meals for the party like [textspeak!] pwede iluto the day before ng party,,na hindi maspoil yun food in large quantities like good for 30 to 40 pax.
and panu mag market like spag how many kilos of meat good for 40pax
fried chicken how many kilos din kaya??
yun fish fillet,,how many kilos din kaya???
first time ko lang po to cook this in large quantities po kasi.

^iapproximate mo na lang ilang tao makakain sa per 1kg. Iconsider mo rin na maraming putahe ka pala na ihahanda kaya if normally 10pax kasya sa 1kg baka maging 15pax/kg na kasi nga d lang isang dish ihahanda mo. Pag ako ang naghahanda, 1kg/8pax pag walang sauce ang food. 12pax/kg pag may sauce ako ay misis lang kaya wait tayo ng input ng ibang GTers

[dyann***]

^sis ganyan din sukat ko pag home party  1 kilo hanggang 12pax, di kaya ng 15 sa mga relatives/guests namin 

[stormy]

^haha natawa naman ako dito sis, d din kasya sa 15pax/kg sa bisita namin pero sa "normal" kasya na sa 8 to 12 pax/kg

sis stormy and sis dyann,,thanks sa shared info ha.
eh yung menu na pwede lutuin the day before ng party??/ [textspeak!] pwede niyo isuggest??pls,reply again ha.thanks.

[marose17]

^ Some dishes that you can prepare a day before the party:

1.  Lumpia shanghai - wrap the meat with the lumpia wrapper and put in the fridge overnight; fry on the day of the party
2.  Lasagna or baked macaroni - you can assemble the lasagna/baked mac on a casserole, freeze and bake/put in oven the following day
3.  Fruit salad, buko pandan salad - prepare and freeze mo lang din
4. Cocktail hotdogs - boil the hotdogs, put in cocktail sticks, place on a tray or large plate, cover with saran wrap and put on the fridge
5.  Meat loaf or embutido - you can prepare this even a week ahead, just put it inside the freezer or fridge; reheat in the oven

That's all for now.  Isip pa ko.

[stormy]

^nagutom ako dito sa list mo marose

^^if mga ma-sauce na ulam (pinoy food at pinoy style party ba sis plano mo?) Pwede na lutuin ang

1. Kaldereta (mas tumitiim kasi ang lasa pag kinabukasan pa kakainin)
2. Pork asado ( ipa-pan fry na lang kinabukasan tapos iinit sauce)
3. Baked mac (pwede na ilagay sa pan then reheat na lang kinabukasan)
4. burger balls (pwede ng iprepare then kinabukasan pwedeng i-grill or i-fry)

Yung iba kasi talagang pang-adults na kaya d ko na ilista ha yang pork asado type naman ng kids kasi manamis-namis kaldereta sinama ko kasi pag umaattend kami ng party laging meron nyan so siguro naisip rin na masarap kinabukasan ang kaldereta

[marose17]

^ True, mas masarap ang caldereta the next day.  Mas malapot na ang sarsa.

[chellesunshine]

^wow galing naman ni sis stormy at sis dyann,,
ill take note of all you've mentioned,,now at least may alam na ako sa gagawin kong pagluluto.thanks again,,if meron pang ibang infos pls post it here ha,,i know yung ibang mga sisises natin na first time to plan a home party menu eh dami din matutunan by just reading this thread.

[maui_chie]

sis chellesunshine -parang mas maganda sis pag day talaga ng party mo lulutuin yung mga food para talagang fresh. pwede mo naman prepare na yung mga ingredients day before para hindi na masyado mabusisi pag luluto na. pero merong mga food na pwede day before like yung caldereta, mechado, etc.. First birthday ng baby ko, sa garahe lang namin ginanap. We almost have 150-200 guests!!! haha.. we prepare 10kls of kiddie spag, 5kilos of pancit palabok, lumpia sariwa, 15kilos of chicken, inihaw na fish, 2bilao of puto puti, bilao of maja blanca(bigay lang), hotdogs, whole lechon, desserts. 

[stormy]

^wow ang galing! D ko ito kaya pero hinahanda ko na sarili ko kasi may ganitong party ako sa december tapos sa probinsya pa kaya baka lagpas 200pax pa

^^goodluck sis d naman matagal ang magluto if d "palambutin" ang dishes. So pwede na iprepare na nga lang day before yung ingredients na mahirap balatan, hiwain atbp

[maui_chie]

^ sa probinsya nga yan sis, kaya super ang naging bisita...mas madami ang adult kesa sa kids. haha...ang maganda lang sa province, dami help from kamag-anak. 

[bluekaren780]

based on our experience, regardless kung gaano kadami ang putahe, 1 kilo is good for 10 pax pa rin ang ginagawa namin.  Mabuti na ang sobra than kulang. 

[chellesunshine]

^thanks sis,,i think for 40 pax ang guest namin,,3 meals ang lutong bahay then  yun dessert at 2 other menu ioorder na lang namin.,,:-)
