Breaking My Diet with Around The World In Small Plates

 

Lifestyle Network launched a charity dinner event titled “Around the World in Small Plates” to benefit the “I Can Serve Foundation”. It was the first of its kind in the Philippines as a friend of mine, who also attended the event, experienced a similar but bigger event in Hawaii with the same concept "tasting delicacies from several different countries" (21 to be specific), but in Hawaii, they had 200 dishes!

Wow! and we thought we had more than what we can chew and swallow for the entire night. 21 dishes was already too much for us, we never got to finish all the dishes, eventhough if it was served in "small plates"

Food on Lifestyle Network is the strongest and highest rating block of the channel. It carries the best of foreign food programs and the most respected food and culinary icons across the globe. It has also successfully produced its first local food program, “Curiosity Got the Chef with Chef Sharwin Tee” (now on its second season), with more unique culinary programs lined-up in the coming months.

Here are some of the dishes presented in small servings:

Around the World in Small Plates takes guests on a tour around the world through off-the-menu specials served in small plates. With the collaboration of the country’s top chefs and Lifestyle Network’s own chefs, the channel intended to create a mouthwatering menu showcasing the different cuisines of the world while highlighting of course our very own.

Below are some other pictures I took at the event held at the Rockwell Tent on November 9, 2012 at 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
