Chef Jeff Claudio at Chef Jessie Rockwell Club

Have a taste of Burnt Ends, Yours Truly, Per Se, Noma at Chef Jessie Rockwell Club as it features Chef Jeff Claudio as its Guest Chef from July 3- 10, 2015. Allow Chef Jeff to mesmerize your palate with his bewitching dish creations.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I was given this dish was that--- "its so plain!" I was also having doubts on what it tastes like. This dish made of snapper and squid, with some onions, and noodles, and coconut milk. But looks can be deceiving ...




Chef Jeff Claudio didn't dream of becoming a chef. In fact, he was awarded a golf scholarship in Canada because of his mean swing. But serendipity happened thanks to his cousin, Chef Jessie Sincioco, who always excitedly prepare meals for him and his family whenever she visits Canada.

Presently, he is the Head Chef of Burnt Ends, Singapore and former Head Chef of Yours Truly in Toronto, Canada. He also worked for Noma in Coppenhagen and Per Se in New York.

Beginning today till July 10, experience a fusion of flavors and culinary expertise from Chef Jeff at Chef Jessie Rockwell Club.



Clams Calamansi Kosho. Fresh clams with kosho paste with the tiniest hint of calamansi. A nice blend of flavors from the sea, calamansi, and kosho. Daughter enjoyed this so much.



Pork Croquette and Gribiche. This is quite filling and not oily. Although the croquette is already flavorful and doesn't need any sauce, pairing it with the gribiche will make you want to eat more. ;)



Toro with Caviar. Super fresh tuna with caviar. Daughter enjoyed this also.


Snapper and Squid "Leche Tigre." So I thought it plain and uninteresting but this ceviche tasted so divine in its simplicity. I mean, there's poetry in it, believe me. The noodle was crunchy but I mixed it with the juices until its soggy. The fresh squid and snapper lent its natural sweetness to bind the flavors together.



Endive and Banana Heart with Pomelo and Walnut. The first thing that comes to mind when I tasted this was "ensaimada." I guess its the cheese.



Grilled Sugpo with Mentaiko Butter and Chives. The prawn looks small on the photo but this is quite filling. I love the mentaiko butter. So rich and perfect for the prawn meat. I also dipped my bread rolls in the sauce. Yum!



Cape Crim Beef with Carrot and Tamarind Puree topped with Fern and Watercress. The beef is underneath the watercress and fern. I just don't know why its too shy to be photographed. ;) Daughter and I both love beef so we give this dish a thumbs up. I love that the beef is the melt-in-your-mouth kind-of-beef and not the tough one that's hard to chew.


Almond, Rice and Coconut. This is Chef Jeff's version of almond jelly although his "jelly" is similar to taho.



Chef Jeff Claudio with his cousin- Chef Jessie Sincioco. Kudos to Chef Jeff's kitchen wizardry!

  3. The grilled sugpo in butter and chives are making me drool! It's funny how so many people don't plan to be where they are now where they are thriving at what they do. :)

    1. Yeah, otherwise he would've been the Asian "Tiger Woods" ... but in this case, he finds the tiger prawn much more appealing :)

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity!

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
