Paleo Diet Birthday Party With Korean Food Inspiration

Yesterday was our birthdays celebration for my son, myself and my wife.  I’m the chef.  I’m the marketer.  And I had a few assistants, our maids with me to run the show as a whole team.  Menu for the 5pm get together were as follows:

  • Korean Beef Stew (main dish) – with shiitake mushrooms, with fresh organic carrots
  • Salmon Belly seared barbecue (main dish courtesy of my mother in law)

Side Dishes:

  • Big Bean Sprouts (steamed)
  • Raw chopped leaks
  • Fermented Radish
  • Fermented Kimchi
  • Crispy Dilis (fried in beef fat, glazed with raw wild honey)
  • Crispy Dulong (fried in beef fat, glazed with raw wild honey)
  • Sautéed chopped octopus

For desert fruits in season

  • Rambutan
  • Pomelo / Suha

For drinks we had:

  • squeeze your own lemon + raw wild honey from Palawan + water + ice

Not paleo approved items brought out was white rice and a birthday cake.

It was a successful birthday bash, limited to family, we have quite a big enough family with my childrens’ cousins together.

Okay, this was not raw paleo diet, so this was my cheat day so as to let everyone else in have a wonderful enjoyable time and meal.  I did not eat rice and the birthday cake and the salmon.
