Le Salon du Chocolat at Porte de Versailles

We visited Le Salon du Chocolat on its first day. We arrived around 10:30 am as i should enroll Bibingclara to the two different workshops they're offering for kids. It was fun and tiring at the same time coz we had walked almost all the day to see each and everything.

Like last year halloween party food, very abundant din ang aming pinag-saluhan this year. KKB ika nga "kanya-kanyang bitbit" ;)

 my menu - i cooked miswa and squash soup. In- ang squash soup and Out- naman ang miswa ( sobrang lapot para bang sapot ng gagamba ang kinalabasan ;)

 severe fingers? nakita ko lang ang idea from Pinterest  ( hotdogs wrapped with pastry dough )

beetroots with red onions - mine
chicken adobo - cooked by Jojie
dinuguan at puto and cheese sticks - cooked by Mama Ghuds
chili con carne - cooked by Sorina
fish and vegetable curry - cooked by Anna
and ang kaisa-isang natirang tandoori - cooked by AteYolly ( sorry for the blurred photo gutom nako nyan )

 Ube halaya and Pinipig kalamay - by yours truly

ang aming first time na jack-O-lantern thanks to Theo's mom who bought it ( mukhang gutom? nakangisi na )

Tiramisu ( napansin ko laging na-iisnab si tiramisu maiba nga ang flavor next time ) dapat gagawin ko itong libingan cake kaso ala na akong time kaya nilagyan ko nalang ng caramel sa ibabaw ;)

tiramisu in small batches

 the give me four drinks hehehe ( idea also from Pinterest ) ginger ale+apple and cranberry juice bukod dito meron din kameng sangria, vodka, beer at soft drinks.

 Gummy candies for the kids

we actually prepared some treats just in case some kids will knock on the door for trick and treat ---grabe di uso dito walang kumatok kaya lahat ng chocolate and candies ke Bibingclara napunta ;)

i also prepared my Mang-kuko nails pero di nga lang perfect! ( nail polish crackle effect from Revlon ) promise nabili ko sya ng murang halaga --- Sale
