Insanely Inasal

My first conversation with Paolo Bernabe wasn't about their family's and (Bacolod's) pride, chicken inasal. It was in fact, about frozen yogurt. But upon drifting the topic from dessert to food, I then discovered that it's his family I have to thank for giving me my first taste of the Bacolod chicken inasal in Manila.

A Spoonful Of Goodwill

posted on Monday, November 9, 2009

With Christmas being the biggest annual holiday in the country, it actually comes as no surprise that the Yuletide season brings out a lighter and happier side to just about everybody. It is easily evident in the colorful decorations displayed in the malls; to the slight chill in the evening air; and, of course, to the animated conversations that can be heard from practically every street corner. Many of us also see Christmas as the best time to have reunions with family and friends, and to practice generosity by offering help to those who are less fortunate.

Corner Tree Cafe

In my line of work ('paid hobby,' my friends correct me), days come when I get to eat an entire ecosystem. No kidding. As a matter of fact, just last week, I recall eating: two types of beef, chicken cooked in three ways (grilled, roasted, and baked), pork hamonado, pork dinuguan, chicharon, burger, pizza, shrimps, crabs, tuna, dory, salmon, leche flan, black forest cake, and salad - all in one day!

What's New At TCB

TCB, the cafe formerly known as The Coffee Beanery, not only redesigned its name and logo just for pizazz. But yes, the upgrade is definitely warm and modern. To coincide the new logo, they have also updated their menu, jazzing up the Filipino appeal with familiar flavors.

Ninyo Fusion Cuisine

by Trix Deseo
posted on Tuesday, September 22, 2009

A fragile-looking dish was brought out of the kitchen. The waiter, who must've went through the task of carrying the platter countless times already, still was heedful of his every step towards our table. How could one go hurriedly while carrying a plate of four golf ball sized croquettes with wafer-like swirls sticking out on top? The croquettes lying variably on what looked like a brittle grass of green shoestring potatoes sure made it even harder.

C2 Classic Cuisine

posted on Thursday, September 17, 2009

Add "crispy" to any of my favorite Filipino food, and I am sold. The sight of crispy pata and bagnet is just begging for a heaping of white rice. Same can be said with leftover adobo that has been shredded and re-fried to crunchy perfection. So it was an easy feat for C2 Classic Cuisine to win me over with their Crispy Ribs Sinigang (P350), a masterpiece of deep-fried beefy goodness served with cheek-pinching sour broth. It is the dish I use to introduce C2 to my friends and relatives who haven't tried the restaurant. Of course, there are more exciting things in store for you at C2, from beverages right down to their dessert.

It's probably not the first time that you've heard of a kitchen-accident-turned-pretty-good kind of story. But it's probably the first time you'll be reading about Gigi Gaerlan and her kitchen mishap. Trust me, hers is more than "pretty good."

Gotta Be At Ponzo's

by Beatriz Acosta
posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009

"You have to try Ponzo's!" my best friend raved, as we found ourselves one night in Makati, looking for a place to have dinner. Never heard of Ponzo's, so I wanted a more compelling reason why we should dine there. Upon telling me that they have delicious homemade thin crust pizzas (my weakness), I gave the thumbs up and we made our way to Magallanes Village.
