Manny Pacquiao defeats Margarito. And Asian cuisine invades the metro. This victory Sunday seemed to be the perfect time to have a first taste of two new international chain restos that are sure to add excitement to Manila's exciting food landscape. First, Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice Restaurant which is an import from Singapore. Am glad to have this welcome addition to the growing list of restaurants offering our favorite Hainanese chicken rice. I Just couldn't have enough of Wee Nam Kee's flavorful chicken rice, ginger-garlic-soy sauce dip and steamed and roasted ... Continue Reading...
Borough, Podium Mall
From the owners of Fiamma Bar and Il Ponticello Cafe Ristorante in Makati City comes now Borough, a bar-cum-restaurant in Mandaluyong's Podium Mall. I first read about this resto in Yummy Magazine and thought it best to visit while waiting for our bus going to Ilocos to depart from Ortigas on a Thursday night. Best reason to come back here with the kids: the Fried Chicken and Waffles!(P280). We know how fried chicken can be most people's everyday comfort food, but this is prolly the tastiest chicken I've tasted in a long time, made even more indulgent by a savory ... Continue Reading...
A Sentro 1771 family breakfast
Sentro 1771 ( with branches in Serendra and Greenbelt) is my Caucasian hubby's favorite Filipino resto, and his favorite dish is their sinigang na corned beef. He never fails to eat this heaping bowl with gusto, a dish which was undoubtedly made famous by the restaurant. It was a joy to know that Sentro offers breakfast too. Since the place appears to take pride in their own corned beef, made from scratch, ordering the ginisang corned beef was a cinch. What I like about this home-cooked version: you somehow feel better that's it's not from the can, with less ... Continue Reading...
BergBlick Deutsches Restaurant: our best food in Pagudpud
Perhaps, interracial marriages aren't a bad thing. Especially when a hotel executive chef falls in love with a Filipina, decides to settle here and put up a restaurant ... never mind if it's in a remote place. It can only be good for local cuisine! :D Such is the story of the BergBlick Restaurant in faraway Pagudpud... a venture of the husband and wife team of Detlev and Tess Cotte. They met and fell in love while working at a luxury resort in Maldives and soon relished the idea of living in the Philippines. In one of their travels, Detlev found his perfect spot ...

Pastry recipes a la California milk & meeting a CIA chef
Studying at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) is a major dream for people interested in food and a chef's career. That's why it was hard to pass up a recent invite featuring Chef Robert Jorin, team leader of CIA's Baking & Pastry Arts Certificate Program. I figured that even if I am not able to go to CIA itself, at least I can hear one of their baking instructors speak, and have first-hand knowledge of CIA-tested recipes. Chef Jorin flew into town as a guest of the California Milk Advisory Board whose products are gaining headway in the Philippines ... Continue Reading...
