I wanted to save my feedback on Passion Cooks (our chosen caterer) for Supplier’s Rating after the wedding. But after the food tasting, I knew I had to tell the world about them.
As some of you know, we’re working on a budget. But I don’t want this to deter me from finding golden straws in the haystack. Finding a caterer proved to be the most challenging of all because I stuck to find the one who satisfies my 3 conditions: great food, gorgeous setup and friendly on the pocket.
I had my eye on Passion Cooks since we started on the wedding preps late April of this year and despite attempts to look around at some cheaper options, my instinct told me that Passion Cooks is one shinning straw of gold. Ms. Maja Martinez, the manager and contact person, has been consistently warm and accommodating from the first email to the food tasting that we had at their place last Saturday. She has shown a sincere willingness to help even when I had numerous menu revision requests, trying to find a combination that will fit the budget and still give me my dessert buffet. And I just realized, a few days before the food tasting, that she had our wedding date blocked off since April but not once did she ask or hint that we pay the reservation fee, a sign that gaining profit from their business only comes second to providing great customer satisfaction. Actually, I have a chock-full of other good things to tell about her, but let’s save that up for another post and move on to the food tasting.
Unlike the first food tasting that we went to, our experience with Passion Cooks is more personalized and truly more enjoyable. They literally treated us like “king and queen” from the moment they picked us up in Alabang Town Center, to the Russian-style serving of their head waiter, Mel (who will also be the head waiter on our wedding day), to meeting the very humble Chef (sorry po Mrs. Martinez, I forgot to ask for your name Mrs. Laura Martinez) and up to the time Maja’s brother (forgot his name also) dropped us in Alabang Town Center again after the food tasting.
But the real highlight of the night was the food. These are what we had:
Oriental Salad with Crispy Catfish and Mango-Tomato Salsa.
