Dine In Weekend: Aristocrat Theme

We miss Aristocrat in Manila, Philippines and decided to try our hand at reconstructing an Aristocrat dinner for ourselves for our Dine In Weekend...

* Preparation for the Sisig

Thanks to correspondent, Twinny for doing the pictures of the preparation. Would love to be there earlier but the babies need their power nap to be their best selves by dinner time :)

* Twinny still doing the chopping when we arrived...

for the java rice ;) woohoo!

* Little tidbits of tocinos...

* Sisig is already done and ready for reheating for dinner

What is Aristocrat with it's famous Chicken Barbeque? 

These chickens were marinated for 2 days to get the flavors in...
