Poker Night with the Chef

Poker with the Chef

It’s poker night and everyone’s bringing their A game to the table. And since Chef Sharwin is playing for keeps, a mediocre offering of chips is hardly enough to get him the upper hand against a group of seasoned players.


Tonight’s opening hand is the Popcorn Shrimp and Chips Combo. This dish has shrimps cut into bite sized pieces, seasoned with salt, pepper, sugar, and garlic powder, then breaded with cornstarch and eggs and deep fried for that popcorn look. Cooked butterfly pasta given the same treatment serves as chips.

Project Runway Philippines 3 – Finally, the Finale!

“Pinasosyal mo ang saba,” said Rajo about Milka’s banana plant-inspired collection

“WOW.”

That was my reaction as the finale of season three of Project Runway Philippines drew to a close last night. Amazing, breathtaking, beautiful clothes on display – and an amazing, breathtaking and beautiful crop of finalists too.

I think I cannot overstate it by saying the level of talent in the finale is the highest yet on this show. Had they competed in different seasons, three of the four designers could have won their own batches with the level of workmanship and amazing designs they displayed. In fact, I’ll go right ahead and say that this season easily blows US Project Runway out of the water – well, the last four or five seasons, at least.

Plus, there was the nail-biting conclusion of two equally talented (but markedly aesthetically different) designers going head-to-head for the crown. Were you Team Cheetah or Team Milka? I surprised myself for ultimately casting my vote with the serene Milka, but more on that later.

Enough superlatives – let’s get down to judging!

Project Runway Season 3 Review: A tease!

African Savannah (Cheetah Rivera)

So – next week is the FINAL RUNWAY, and what does Project Runway Philippines do to tide us over?

Tease us. Again. As they’ve been doing over the past few weeks.

Sorry, just a fan dying to see the final four’s ultimate collection. PRP3 producers know this, and twist the knife.

In this week’s pre-finale episode, Jojie visits all the designers in their hometowns to see how their work is coming along and find out their inspirations. And while we saw gorgeous vistas (Amor), a seriously beautiful beach (Nel), urban grit (Cheetah) and Pasig condo-livin’ (Milka), we only saw the barest, briefest, out-of-focus hints of the clothes they actually designed. Clever, Project Runway Philippines. And devious.

PRP3 Episode 11 Review: Last Ones Standing

And then there were five.

We’re in the homestretch of the third season of Project Runway Philippines now, and for the last episode before the finale we were served with another sponsor episode with a twist: dress the L’Oreal woman, as embodied by new endorser Lucy Torres Gomez, in haute couture inspired by Filipino master artists. “Glamorous” “sophisticated” and “expensive” were thrown around, the usual one-day challenge made into two, and the fabric budget doubled.

The message was clear: Designers, it’s your last chance to wow us.

The results, however, were mixed.
