The soon to be 14 year old chef started cooking at the age of 7 starting with fried rice and pancakes. He then moved on to more complicated dishes and patiently learned the exacting discipline of baking.
Kyle is the grandson of National Artist for Sculpture Abdulmari Asia Imao. This early, Kyle seems to have inherited his grandfather’s artistic gifts. His creative plating had been cited by judges in the Junior MasterChef Pinoy Edition.

Summer Vacation Plans for Your Children

Got summer plans already?

There is so much to do during summer and for sure, school children will not get bored with the many choices as to what they can do when school’s out:

  • travel and see how much fun it is in the Philippines (needs time to plan and budget for expenses)
  • cooking classes which also includes learning new skills like sanitation, cutting, sieving, food styling and nutrition facts
  • photography
  • styling classes
  • swimming, soccer, basketball, baseball, badminton classes for the sporty ones
  • piano, guitar, violin and voice lessons for the musically inclined
  • summer classes, whether advanced or for failed academic subjects
  • arts and crafts lessons for the crafty ones (this can be done at home because there are lots of tutorials to be found in the web)

There is so much to do during summer and there is no need for children to get bored. If budget is a problem, be creative and you can still have a lot of fun too!
