Who doesn't love Mayonnaise? Ever since I was a kid, almost if not all of my sandwiches and snacks has this very important ingredient. Mayonnaise. When it comes to this, there is this one brand that everyone loves. LADY'S CHOICE!

So one afternoon, in a very special place, LADY'S CHOICE invited me to witness the launch of THE REAL CHEF CHALLENGE.

Here, CHEF BOY LOGRO, along with other chefs demonstrate the use of LADY'S CHOICE MAYONNAISE.

Because.. REAL CHEFS use Lady's Choice Real Mayonnaise.

Aside from the usual sandwiches, they demonstrated the use of this ingredient in other dishes.

Aside from that, we were asked to join in a little contest of our own. Making our own type of dip from Lady's Choice Mayonnaise.

There were a lot of ingredients to choose from that I didn't know we could use.

From different cheeses, to the use of fruits and veggies and other sauces to make a wonderful concoction. Perfect for sandwiches, dips and just about everything.

This was but a prelude to what LADY'S CHOICE is planning. The Real Chef Contest.

All you need to do is to go to www.ufs.com/realchef and follow the instructions.

You basically just need to submit some interesting recipe that uses Lady's Choice Real Mayonnaise and you could win 100,000 Php!!! With online, print and TV Features for your food service establishment! Now that's a lot!

You could enter two categories, Hot signature dish or a salad and sandwich combo.

LADY'S CHOICE REAL MAYONNAISE has been in the country for years. Ever since I was a kid, I already knew the smell and the taste of this mayonnaise right from the get go. Definitely, this contest of theirs would help a lot of starting and up and coming establishments and chefs to showcase their talents.

7 FLAVORS in SAN JUAN by Chef Boy Logro

BANG BANG BANG ... That's the way CHEF BOY LOGRO does it. Curios that I wanted to try out their newly opened resto.

I was late because we got lost. Me and my driver. FINE I was late because I was late. Anyway, I was quite impressed with the setup when I arrived. The Wilson Area is somewhat known for having little parking space. Here you have 7 FLAVORS having a huge lot for cars to park at. A good first impression.

I was led inside and was advised that the buffet area was on the 2nd floor. Walked as I did and saw some inspired art work like paintings. The place for the buffet itself could easily fit around 150. They have small function rooms for small parties.

A little background on this, 7 FLAVORS is a new bakery, cafe and buffet place in SAN JUAN. It capitalizes itself in having something sweet, sour, salty, bitter, spicy, umami and astringent. Opened just last May 13, it started serving a variety of dishes.

But first. I needed to hydrate.

Drinks are not the usual as they play with soda. Adding different fruit flavors.

They also offer some shakes which are also interesting.

After having a cool one, I surveyed the spread. It wasn't as big as the other buffet places but it does serve some interesting dishes.

PUMPKIN FRITATA is something you don't normally see on any spread.

A carving station that serves ROAST PORK

SHRIMPS

A cooking station that serves STIR FRY.

Other than these, they had some meatballs, chicken dishes, eggplant lasagna, tofu and other notable dishes.

and a small dessert spread that served a few sweet goodies along with fruits.

and my plate.

Honestly, I was expecting a little bit more. The dishes are somewhat unique but I believe they could improve and deliver exciting new dishes. The service was great although once the people racks up, the wait staff needed a little guidance. I guess it's because they just opened. The dishes were refilled quickly. Patrons never waited on an empty dish. I guess for the price you are paying, this could be a good idea for a simple dinner place. No frills. Also, please note that drinks are not yet included in the prices.

Hope this gives you a little idea on what to expect when you go.

I might drop by again next time to check out their BAKERY. They got interesting dishes that I know I would want to check out. Cheers.
