Passion Cooks

[barbeecue]

Sis tinapay di rin accredited PC sa venue namin but pikit-mata nalang kami sa added fee. They were SO good kasi! And yes, we super love their food more than KbyC. Sa lahat ng natikman namin, PC's food was the best. Actually KbyC first choice namin only because accredited sila sa Glass Garden. Pero nung nag food tasting kami with KbyC, we were unimpressed with the food plus we waited like 45 mins just to get our desserts. Because of that, nag-alinlangan ako nun to book KbyC - I waited 2 weeks before ako nagconfirm. By the time I was about to book KbyC, someone else had taken the last slot na raw. Good thing na rin yun, kasi we had our food tasting with PC the week after that and we were blown away by the food. Which caterer are you getting na sis?

Sis barcar12 are you booking them? Mga ilang months nako naghihintay ng fellow PC bride dito hehe

According to Ms Bonnie, magiging accredited caterer na daw sila sa The Glass Garden by end of the month.

We are scheduled to have our initial food tasting with Passion Cooks this Tuesday. Ms Bonnie was super nice to ask for our preferred dishes na iseserve sa FT. Kaya nilagay ko yung mga recommended dito.

Oriental Salad
Cream of Pumpkin
Bacon and Banana Rolls
Chicken and Ham Crepe
Apple and Prune Stuffed Pork
Baked Salmon
Spaghetti Aglio, Olio E Peperoncino
Steamed Rice
Chocolate Lazy Cake
Panna Cotta w/ Caramel Sauce
Mango Cream Pie

Nadisappoint kasi ako sa K by Cunanan kaya hopefully, sa Passion Cooks pak na! Sa mga previous PC brides, anong freebies ang inooffer ng PC? Mag join daw sila sa Getting Married bridal fair sa January 2016 eh.

We had our initial food tasting sa Passion Cooks last Tuesday and their food is really good, pero presentation wise, needs improvement talaga. Also, very nice nung mga staff nila and yung food namin ang bilis na sinerve hindi tulad sa K by Cunanan na super tagal.

Fave ko yung Cream of Pumpkin nila. Best soup na natikman ko sa lahat ng FT na ginawa ko with other caterers. H2b naman super liked their Baked Salmon.

However, we didn't like yung Apple and Prune Stuffed Pork. Too sweet for our liking kaya baka palitan namin ng isang beef dish na lang. Also, their Spaghetti Aglio, Olio Peperoncino was a major disappointment too.

Also yung Bacon and Banana Rolls hindi ko masyadong type. Para kasing over ripe yung banana tapos may syrup pa kaya matamis na masyado for me. Pero h2b liked it.

Pinakita din nila sa akin yung basic styling lang nila and okay lang siya. Definitely mas maganda ang basic styling ng K by Cunanan. Another let down is hanggang ngayon hindi pa din all Tiffany chairs for the guests considering na mas mahal sila compared to other caterers.

Hi sis, are you booking PC? Where's your venue? Masarap food nila sis and we loved everything they served! Hindi namin na-experience na kami yung tinanong what we wanted to try. We ate nalang whatever was served. Kami naman ni h2b we loved the Bacon and Banana Rolls. It was surprisingly good.

They serve their dishes super quick nga, as soon as you're done they'll serve na your next dish agad. H2b and I had the same experience with KbyC sis - we waited an hour for our coffee. It took too long. Sa PC kasi, they do one food tasting at a time kaya nakatutok sila sayo unlike sa KbyC ang dami nyong kasabay. Ang weird nga lang ng experience namin with PC kasi yung isang AE nila kasabay namin kumain the whole time. He's there to explain the dishes ata pero I would've preferred if kami lang ni h2b kumakain. Was it like that din with you?

I also agree na mas okay talaga basic styling ng KbyC. More on rustic yung styling ng PC eh. And if you want tiffany chairs from PC, you have to add pa P80/chair. They outsource it ata. Ipapa-floor length seat covers nalang namin yung chairs. Mas mahal nga sila sis compared to other caterers and with their price you'd think you'd get more out of their styling. Pero you're hiring a caterer for their food eh, second nalang yung styling. What good are well-decorated tables if your guests are eating junk? I just really, really hope the food they serve on our wedding is as good as their food during the initial food tasting

sis if i remember right, if you book PC during bridal fairs you can get the chair upgrade for free. i inquired kasi with them for a different event sana. i'll see if i still have the rates they provided nung isang bridal fair sa megamall.

[wednesdei]

^sis barbeecue sa The Glass Garden ako. We are just waiting for their finalized package with TGG and then we will see kung okay. Pero h2b is leaning na towards sa kanila. Ako naman I want to try Bizu pa.

[barbeecue]

Sis rightback their freebies change per fair. At the Before I Do bridal fair in megamall, their freebies were either free naked cake, free bridal bouquet, or free smores bar for 100pax. I didn't book them during a bridal fair din sis, so no freebies kami hehe.

Sis wednesdei sa Glass Garden din venue ko! PC is my caterer and they weren't accredited at GG yet when we booked them. I hope their accreditation pushes through before my wedding on Feb 2016.

[wednesdei]

^sis barbeecue Parang Passion Cooks naman was so confident na mapupush nung nag initial food tasting kami sa kanila. Sana talaga sis. Sayang din yung corkage fee. 

[tin_dc]

^Sisses, accredited na ng GG si PC. I have already obtained a copy of their menu earlier this week. However, I'm still waiting for PC to respond - not sure kasi about the standard amenities included in the package (e.g. seats, arrangements).

[wednesdei]

^Yey! Wala pa akong update sa Passion Cooks sis eh. Sabi nila dati sa akin by end of Sept daw accredited na sila ng Glass Garden and they will update me daw. Pero up to now wala pa din eh. Done na kasi kami with our initial Ft with them and if okay sa budget, mukhang sila na ang gusto ni h2b.

Saan ka nakakuha ng menu nila na tied up sa Glass Garden?

[tin_dc]

^Sis Wednesdei, got mine from GG mismo. Compared it with PC's package without the venue and I must say, the GG+PC package is a great choice! Mas sulit, no need to upgrade seats - tiffany chairs na for all guests...

[wednesdei]

^OMG! Tiffany chairs na lahat? Yey! Isa kasi ito sa naghohold back sa akin to get Passion Cooks. Ayoko nung fact na inaoutsource pa nila yung chairs. Fear ko yung ma late yung chairs at walang maupuan yung mga guests ko. I'll email Glass Garden na. Thanks sis!

[tin_dc]

Sis wednesdei, did you end up getting PC as your caterer? Ano'ng menu mo? TIA!

[tin_dc]

Hi sis jjlo_15! Si Koni din ang kausap ko and I'm also based abroad. So far, okay naman ang pakikipagusap ko sa kanya. Actually, I haven't really communicated in a while since nasagot naman na lahat ng tanong ko. Yes, may time na ilang days ako naghintay for her reply, I assumed na busy lang or baka on leave? Mag-uupgrade kami ng styling... kung meron ka gusto like I browsed their previous works then tinanong ko specifically kung magkano ang aabutin sa ganung setup, bibigyan ka naman nila ng ballpark figure. I heard they can also work on your budget. Feeling ko mas makaka-save pa rin than getting a separate event stylist. Check their upgraded styling works on FB and IG. Hope this helps!

[jjlo_15]

Thank you sis tin_dc! Kahit napapaisip ako sa styling cost haha baka sila padin kuhain namin as caterer kc i heard sobrang sarap daw ng food nila. Wala naman ako mapili from the accredited ng TGG na iba. Kasi yung iba di din maganda mga feedbacks. Sabi di daw consistent ang tastes ng mga foods sa ibang caterer. Sana mabigyan ako ng qoutation ni PC ng magandang rate ng styling. Haha thank you again sis!

[purpleclinic]

Hi, I'm planning to get PC for my daughter's dedication and 1st Birthday since it's not a wedding naman I just want to spend enough---not too much. You think Maja can work with a customized menu lower than the sample menu they send sa package and do you have any idea sa upgrade for styling nya kung how much?  Thanks for your reply sissies.

[jjlo_15]

hi sis.. nakausap ko na si ms koni of PC thru skype kasi nasa ibang bansa kami ni hoby pareho. And i already ask them regarding the stylings na gusto namin. Meron silang mga standard stylings na kasama sa package. Kung gusto mo naman magpaupgrade pede kang magpaqoutations sa kanila. Try mo po magemail sa kanila ng gusto mong designs para sa birthday ni daughter mo. Yung sa menu yes kaya nilang magadjust.

[princess_brat]

Sis, I have a question kasi im planning to get PC dun sa package ng Glass Garden and I got the list of food for the package inclusion. May question lang ako, kasi madaming parang dessert na nakalagay sa complimentary items tapos wala naman nakalagay na choose 1 only. So does that mean na lahat ng kasama dun sa list na yun eh, free talaga?

^Sis Wednesdei, got mine from GG mismo. Compared it with PC's package without the venue and I must say, the GG+PC package is a great choice! Mas sulit, no need to upgrade seats - tiffany chairs na for all guests...

[wednesdei]

Sis wednesdei, did you end up getting PC as your caterer? Ano'ng menu mo? TIA!

Yes sis, sila ang kukunin ko na caterer. Most of the dishes na nasa initial food tasting namin yung menu. Iibahin ko lang yung pasta, beef dish and ivevrify ko lnag din kasi sa list ng food na binigay nila recently sa akin biglang wala na yung baked salmon na dish, eh yun yung gusto ni h2b na fish/seafood dish namin. You can check sa blog ko sis yung mga food namin nung initial food tasting.
