Several of my classmates in Cucina Nueve were invited by our classmate Emmie Hitgano to cater a buffet lunch for the VIP guests of the fiesta of Trento, Agusan del Sur last October 4, 2009. The chosen ones were Earl Jimenez, John Agonia, and Rabbie Kyle Garcia. Other members of the class went to Trento to join the festivities and give support to our classmates.

One of the problems they encountered during the catering was the very tough pork meat provided for them. The group decided to use a pressure cooker on the meat. The pork loin was then marinated and roast as planned. This caused the Roast Pork Loin to be quite dry.

Upon the 911 call for help by Earl, we decided to concoct a special glaze on the spot using pineapple juice and Sprite as base…

It was a very yummy surprise… a Special Glaze for Roast Pork Loin. :)
