And we begin..

Yesterday, we started to deliver our dishes to various places. It was a very good start for us considering that we were just testing the waters. Waking up at 5:30AM then buying ingredients, we started the ball rolling at around 9AM finishing at around 12 midnight. Here are the following dishes that we prepared.

Spaghetti

A party and meryenda dish, we cooked this as per request of a friend. She wanted to serve spag as meryenda to the panelist for her groups’ defense. Although we were pressed for time since she needed us to deliver it by 9AM, we were able to get their in time with time to spear. We packed the dish and offered it for meryenda as well. 
Pork Caldereta

One of our main course yesterday, we prepared 2 kilos of the dish and delivered it to various places. This dish is a best seller, I didn’t believe it at first, but when we were able to get feedback and tasted the dish myself, I became a believer. We used the dish as a barometer for future endeavors because we wanted to know if the dish would past get past the concept as just being lunch or dinner for our families. It was great to know that we passed the test and our customers are looking for more.

Lumpiang Shanghai

This is one of the specialties of the house, we prepared a kilo of this dish and it sold like hotcakes! Paired with the Caldereta as the main course, I never thought of it as an ulam, I’ve always ate it as is, sort of meryenda style. Served with a homemade Sweet and Spicy sauce, it was good.

Turon

A popular meryenda, this was the first dish that sold out. We were able to produce at least 32 pieces, and it was gone after lunch. It was gone so fast that we were not able to take a picture of it and post it here!

Ube bibingka

Another meryenda that we served yesterday, we tried to make sure that we have a lot of dishes to choose from. Be prepared it as pleasing as we can to entice customers to purchase it, and it worked.

This article may sound as if it was smooth sailing, but since it was our first day, it was not. However, it was fun, running around to get the job done, preparing the food as efficient as we can, packing it, being careful not spill and even delivering it was just a few things that we made sure we were perfect. As the saying goes, “First impression lasts”, and hopefully we gave a good one. It was a learning experience as well for us since this is the first time we made dishes not only to satisfy our families tummy but to satisfy different individuals as well.
