Apart from Halloween preps, we were also busy entertaining one of Richard's colleagues from Toyota Philippines, Alvin, who was in Bangkok for a business trip. He arrived on Sunday afternoon so from Platinum Mall, we picked him up from his hotel and took him to MBK for pasalubong shopping and dinner.

Then we had dinner at home on Wednesday.
a

a

I prepared...
a
a
Baked Ribs with barbecue sauce...
a
a
...baked penne with three kinds of cheese -- mozzarella, cheddar and parmesan.
a

And for dessert, I prepared white chocolate cheesecake...
a
a
...and carrot cake.

I didn't do all of this in one day. I made the dessert a day before and the ribs were marinated two days before Wednesday. So I was practically slaving in the kitchen for three days. But you know what the best part is? Alvin loved the food that I prepared! Naubos nya yung ribs. As in! Sabi ko nga kay Richard, ganyan ang gusto kong bisita! If all our guests were like him, then I wouldn't mind working hard in the kitchen because Alvin showed that he really liked my cooking!

To Alvin, we hope you enjoyed your stay in Bangkok! See you in the Philippines!
