It was my first time to attend a blogger’s event and I never thought that I would be exchanging knives with Ms. Solenn Heussaff.
We were invited by Sun Cellular last May 27 for an exclusive event featuring Sun Broadband Car Wifi. Meet up and pick up point was at Robinsons Galleria. The van that picked us up going to Center for Culinary Arts (CCA) Katipunan is powered by Sun Car WiFi stick. We arrived at exactly 4pm and went straight to one of the kitchens at CCA.
Taste Buddies Shooting
Upon arriving at CCA, we were directed to the shoot of Sun Cellular Taste Buddies episode. We watched Solenn Heussaff cook with one of the CCA Chefs.
Here’s a short video of the Taste Buddies shoot.

CCA Tour
After the shooting of Taste Buddies, an officer of CCA gave us a tour around the culinary school. We were able to see their lecture room, facilities, kitchens, and events room. I learned that studying at CCA means spending 90% of your whole time in the kitchen and just 10% on classroom. Of course, this is a cooking school, what else should I expect.
Sun Broadband Cookfest with Solenn
This was the main event of the day — Cookfest with Solenn. After the tour, we stayed at the grand kitchen and prepared for the cooking contest organized by Sun Cellular. We were assigned to different teams: Team Solenn vs Sun Cellular employees.
The mechanics is simple – First we get the ingredients that we need. The ingredients are limited so each team must get the ingredients before the other does or else they wont have anything to use for their dish. We need to prepare a soup or salad, an appetizer, and main course. I was quite nervous because I rarely cook; good thing that my hubby was also there because he is the master in our kitchen at home.
Here’s a short video while we are cooking.

Cooking is not my expertise but again I was able to show my skill specially when using knives. This is a very good and unforgettable experience for me – cooking with Ms. Solenn Heussaff. While writing this, I am enjoying the power of the Sun Broadband WiFi stick which we won as a prize from winning the contest. Again thanks to Sun Cellular, cooking with Solenn made my day. You have always been “The Good Choice”.
I also would like to thank Ms. Solenn Heussaff for her short message for my baby girl Katrina Indira.
