Last month, my friendsSumi, Berylle and I were invited by Kikkomanto go through an Oriental Cuisine Course at25 Mushrooms Kitchen. The last time we had a cooking session together was way back in 2012 when we had an outing at Chilline T House in Tagaytay. We've been meaning to have a cookout again but we somehow couldn't find the time. So, you can imagine how excited we were when the opportunity suddenly presented itself.
Let me and the girls share with you the recipes we learned.
