Resultado Gives Back this Christmas

As 2010 comes to a close, we look back and cherish the wonderful moments we have had with you, our partners. Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are now. With the help you have extended to us, we decided to end the year by giving back. Last December 11, we sponsored the Christmas party lunch of Maligaya Institute for Culinary Arts and Residential Services (MICARS).

We fed 300 guests with a delicious menu of Carbonara, Burger Steak, Chicken Wings, Buttered Vegetables, Fruit Salad, and Creamy Sago’t Gulaman. Milk ingredients were donated by Alaska Milk Corporation while magazine giveaways were provided by F&B World and Baking Press (Hinge-Inquirer Publications).

MICARS is a foundation that gives culinary education to unfortunate women for a minimum fee. The school is looking for volunteers, donations, and sponsors to help keep the foundation going. If you are interested, please give Ms. Rowena Nazareno a call at +632 525-7429 or email them at maligayaschool@yahoo.com.

Again, we’d like to extend our deepest gratitude to you and we hope that in the coming 2011, our partnership will grow deeper.

God bless us all! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Regards,

Theo Zaragoza and the Resultado Team

Appealing to the Senses

By: Samantha Ramos-Zaragoza


It is quite apparent how Oriental fare is a mix of colonial influences and cultural taste. Asians have a way of extracting the best from our past settlers and making it more extravagant through adding local spices and experimenting with common taste. But personally, Filipino food greatly differs from its neighboring countries. Although Pinoys have yet to introduce their world famous Kare-kare, Adobo, Sinigang, or Afritada in the world’s center stage, Filipino dishes’ distinct flavors make them more than delectable – they’re “cravable.”

Tempting Reads this 2010

Tuttle publishing, a member of Singapore’s Periplus publishing group, recently circulated The Filipino Cookbook which will be distributed in the United States and online. The Filipino Cookbook contains 85 recipes that are representatives of the Luzon’s, Visayas’s, and Mindanao’s rich and diverse fare. Travel the Philippines without leaving your kitchen with this culinary must-have.

URC Flour, in partnership with Hinge-Inquirer Publications, has also released a wonderfully detailed and illustrated 2010 recipe calendar. URC Flour goes beyond offering the usual flour based concoctions. For their 40th anniversary, URC Flour celebrates the best-of-the-best baked delights of every Philippine region and fuses creativity with each region’s chief products. URC Flour has once again given us another reason to be proud of our culinary heritage.

Cravable is the new talk of the town. It may be that special characteristic of comfort food wherein one bite isn’t enough. You yearn for it, you demand for it, you get cranky without it. Just like our Yema, Ensaymada, Pancit Guisado, Halo-halo, Bibingka, Leche Flan, and Lumpiang Sariwa – they’re guaranteed to get your tummy rumbling and your mouth watering. Thanks to publishing companies such as Periplus and Hinge-Inquirer, a quick fix to our yearnings is at the tip of our fingers.

All these and more as Chef Theo visits a mall or trade center near you!

More and more people are truly convinced that Alaska is the perfect cream, evaporated milk, and condensed milk for their homemade mouthwatering creations. Because with Alaska, hindi lang sa presyo panalo – everyday can be a special celebration!

Who Needs a Menu Makeover?

We have to admit, we all go through some kind of fashion makeover once in a while; may it be a new haircut, buying new set of clothes, or a total change of style. We either consult our friends or, to the extreme, professional fashion gurus to make sure we are buying the latest trends or showing off our personal style. And why do we do it? Simply because we want to look presentable and we want to be in-the-now. As much as we need regular fashion makeovers, restaurant menus have to have their own makeovers too. A menu is not just an “information guide” to what one wants to eat, but it also represents the total atmosphere a restaurant wants to convey. As a marketing tool, menus are as important as flyers and posters. But where does one go for a “Menu Makeover”? Don’t fret, because the professionals are just a phone call away. Meet the Resultado Gourmet Designs Team.

Resultado Gourmet Designs, Co. is a food styling and food photography firm that has expanded its services to food consultation and graphic design. The company has teamed up with Burnwater Design Studios (www.burnwater.com.ph) for graphic design making Resultado Co. your ultimate one-stop-shop. Resultado Co. aims to deliver the best results your business deserves, and what better way to do so but by taking care of all your marketing needs? By working hand-in-hand with graphic designers and with proper food consultation, our company will be able to give you a menu style that will express exactly what your restaurant wants to say.

Still thinking twice? Then let our clients speak for us. Resultado Co. recently worked with three restaurants with different cuisines: Mongkok, a Chinese restaurant, Teriyaki Boy, a Japanese fast food by Pancake House Group, and Jimini Pizza, a newly opened restaurant born from the famous Jimini Pizza Kiosk. All three restaurants needed trendy, attractive, yet functional new menus.

Mongkok Dimsum and Noodles offers a wide-range of products from congee specials, dimsums, rice toppings, fried noodle dishes, and desserts. Their aim is to introduce exotic yet delectable food different from other Chinese restaurants. But with so many items in a cramped-up menu, people tend to overlook the best Mongkok has to offer. It was time for a menu makeover. Resultado Co. and its partner graphic designers worked with the needs of Mongkok and they came up with a well-organized yet attention-grabbing menu.

And just to prove how confident Resultado Co.’s food stylist Chef Theo Zaragoza is with his cuisine knowledge and expertise he offered the company’s services for food styling, food photography, and food consultation to Teriyaki Boy. Being a modern Japanese fast food with colorful “animé” designs, Teriyaki Boy wanted actual food presentation and a menu that will communicate the said ambiance. Working with the client’s requirements, Resultado Co.’s talented food photographer and Chef Theo provided Teriyaki Boy with photographs showing off the dishes’ natural appeal through zesty food styling. Chef Theo also presented new and modern ways of serving the traditional Japanese food the restaurant offers.

And when Jimini Pizza opened their new restaurant in Greenhills, Resultado Gourmet Designs, Co. had the opportunity to do food styling and food photography for their menu board. After years of serving their delightful deep-dish pizzas at kiosks virtually everywhere in Metro Manila, they now decided to open a cool diner-style restaurant that will not only serve their world-class yet reasonably priced deep-dish pizzas but also an array of promising dishes such as grilled pizza bars and waffles. Needless to say, Resultado Co. produced mouthwatering works of “food” art immortalized in photos that worked exceptionally well with the overall theme of the restaurant.

Resultado Gourmet Designs, Co. received good feedback from the clients and wishes to offer these new services to needing companies and restaurants. So what are you waiting for? Want that competitive edge and flair for your menus? Have your Menu Makeover today!
