Karylle's dream project comes true in The Kitchen Musical

  According to Karylle, The Kitchen Musical will be picked up by Emmy Award-winning producer Ben Silverman, the man behind the American adaptation of drama series, Ugly Betty and The Office. "Hopefully, matuloy yun! And that's a real honor kasi I've worked on this project with CheeK [Singaporean creator and writer of the show] from the very, very beginning, nung pilot pa lang siya, nung idea pa lang siya. To see it go this far, parang ang daming napupuntahan, nakakagulat talaga," she says.

"Yung mga girls humahabol—girls and guys!

"Yung mga bagets, idol na idol siya!

"Sabi ko kay Christian, 'Isa ka pa lang prinsipe dito!'

"Nakakatuwa. They really watch the show!"

Does Karylle want to become as famous as Christian?

"Hindi ko siya masyado iniisip. Ang iniisip ko lang ngayon is I'm really just so happy."

"Whatever comes out of this, siyempre tatanggapin ko.

"For now I'm just enjoying this moment. Lalasapin ko na muna!"

FOODIE. Airing on Studio 23 and AXN every week since October, The Kitchen Musical features drama with pre-recorded popular songs, dance numbers, and scrumptious recipes.

The drama series is set in a five-star restaurant called The Avilon.

Karylle plays Maddie, sous chef and daughter of the retaurant owner.

Along with the rest of the cast, she underwent four weeks of dancing and acting rehearsals, and a culinary boot camp.

The singer-actress has made the most out of this gastronomic experience. She has been reading cookbooks, researching recipes, and going on "food trips" around Singapore.

She has also started a food blog, "Mad About Food," and maintains another blog, "Digestive Sisters," which she co-writes with her Australia-based sister, Nicole.

What does she consider her toughest challenge in the show?

    Naaalala ko pa pag kumakain daw si Karylle ginagawa niyang palaman sa burger niya yung french fries. Her birthday March 22 is always marked on my calendar and Karylle-Dingdong's anniversary was April 3....hehe. Alam ko no? Hayzz...I'm looking back at the past.

    I understand both Karylle and Marian fans here kasi higit pa jan ang nararamdaman ko. Nagagalit kayo kasi binabatikos ang isang idolo niyo. Eh ako? Parehong ina-admire sina Karylle at Marian tapos pareho sila nakakatanggap ng nega. Dalawang artista na gusto ko ang binabatikos sa isang article lang. Dapat mas doble ang galit ko...but I'm cool! Actually I'm very happy because the two artist I admire are both successful in their own way.

    How can I hate someone I used to admire and support 6 years ago? I have admired Karylle not just physically but inside and out. I used to know her very well at naiintindihan ko mga Karylle fans dito. My love and admiration for Karylle was real and when it's real, it's not easy to forget. I still have posters and a collection of Karylle's music albums here. That's why I'm here because I just miss her.

    67 - Nanggaling na ako sa fans club ni Karylle. Sa totoo lang fan ako ni Karylle - nung di pa sikat si Marian. I'm a big fan of Ybrahim-Elena in Encantadia 6 years ago. Nakaka-miss nga si Karylle eh.

    Talaga lang ha? Please wag magmalinis. Gusto mo bilangin ko pa kung ilang beses mo binanggit si Marian or MR? Bakit mo ipinagtatabuyan mga nega? Di ba ikaw tong nag invite sa kanila? Read your first comment. At saka hindi naman ako nega ah. May sinabi ba akong bad kay Karylle? Wag kang magmalinis ikaw tong gumagawa ng gulo. Nang-iinvite ka pa ng nega para dumami kuno ang comments sa article na ito.

    Please don't me think that Marian is really a great threat to almost anyone's career - girls only - in ABS. Kasi sa tuwing may balita kay Angel, Anne, Karylle, Angelica, Kim etc. eh laging nadadawit ang name ni Marian kahit ang layo ng topic. Bakit ba lagi niyo silang kino-compare kay Marian? Tapos sasabihin niyo laos si Marian? Sino niloloko niyo?

    Karylle is very talented. She is not bossy nor a braggart. She is very down-to-earth. The best is yet to come, Karylle!
