Putting this out there for anyone who wants to read it. :) Hope you like it.
Among other things - they serve some of the best damn sausages in the city!
Gorgonzola cheese cake (yep, practically savory), with a balsamic reduction and candied cherry tomatoes. It's an inspired combination! Available at the very awesome #SpiceAndCleaver over at #EstanciaMall.😁🍅
Bread as audibly crispy as pork cracklings, filled with satisfying and savory meats. This stuff is gooooood!!! (And they play awesome tunes too!) Coming soon to Legaspi Village!😁❤ #PepiCubano
And we have a hashtag.. #NowieFeast2015 😜 (Our hosts are Nowie & Odette Potenciano - restaurant owners in Boracay. Nowie wanted #BoracayFoodTourbut we nixed it. Hehe!)
Fresh off the boat. First stop Sunny Side Cafe.
It's called the "I Can't Believe It's Better Than Bacon" pizza. My personal fave over lunch! Awesome, #SunnySideCafe!🍕 Yeah baby
It's called a wonut. Because when you eat one, you'll say "Wo."😜 #SunnySideCafe
We sip. We learn. The Dong.☕ David Ong of #EDSABeverageDesign doing a cupping session for #NowieFeast2015
Dinner was at Spice Bird at 'D Mall.
Having a parteh in our mouths care of #SpiceBird! MUST when in Boracay!
Piri Piri Chicken... Skin. Shiz. #SpiceBird
The sauce, baby. I could bathe in this. Tsk. #SpiceBird
Pulled pork sandwich, braised for 12 hours, and slathered with your choice of sauce. Ayayay. Garlic lime + Piri Piri sauce wins!
Piri Piri shrimp works too! #SpiceBird
This handsome restaurant - via Tokyo - has premium American, Aussie and Japanese beef, as well as premium cocktails..perfect for celebrating! The new age of the prime steakhouse, which began with the likes of Elbert's Steak Room, is here.
A sigh inducing oyster sampling..
I'm a fan of Australian beef, like this John Dee strip loin. Great balance of tenderness and flavor.😁 #RubyJacks#CityOfDreams
The cozy private room overlooking the main dining room of #RubyJacks
Had the pleasure of meeting the affable Mr Eddie Baffoe, Managing Director, beverage specialist, and one of the principals of #RubyJacks Steakhouse & Bar at #CityOfDreams.
Today I checked out the new kid on the block, #EarthKitchen. It's one of the best looking restaurants I've seen in awhile, and man, their food is pretty good -- using locally sourced and organic ingredients if possible. A welcome addition to BGC! Can't wait to go back!
A simple (and beautiful!) salad of watermelon, arugula, kesong puti, edible flowers and pili nuts dressed in balsamic vinaigrette.
Hey, they got meat at #EarthKitchen too! This one took all of us by surprise at how tender and yummy it was: braised bacon, red cabbage and baby potatoes. Well done, guys!
I don't know what it is about these beef rib kebabs (served with tzatziki and Ifugao rice pilaf) - but it also won us over!
From the #Adobolympics at #LSMat10 to hosting a baking demo at #SMCityNorthEDSA with Aldrin Hao Lim of #StapleAndPerk at this rather manly looking pink stage complete with pink bike with a basket in front .... Yeah, its been a pretty busy day.😜 (thanks for this pic, #SMSupermalls) Good night, peeps!
Happening now - the #Adobolympics at the #LSMat10 😁 11 teams of pros/house cooks/enthusiasts doing their take on our beloved adobo! Woohoo! Time to jones about!
From the nanays of Gawad Kalinga who call themselves Team Kabutehan -- pretty tasty spicy mushrooms (one of their products), lamb shoulder, and fresh pineapple served with adobo rice. I was rooting for these ladies too - all such good sports for joining the #Adobolympics
This was fascinating too! Pork adobo and coconut wrapped in these lovely leaves with bits of kamias. I don't know anymore who made this - she was Bicolana - but is sure shows her pride for her hometown. Bicol represent!
Plating was not the strength here - and of course one shouldn't expect too much from someone who doesn't work in a kitchen - but man you could sure taste the love and care from this twice cooked beef adobo. So whoever you are, Team Alex's Dad, I tip my hat to you. No wonder Alex loves you so much!😁 Good job!
The Winner! The #OrangeWhisk entry for "specialty adobo": pork belly adobo, smoked coconut cream and galangal. Really good - and it practically begs for rice! Go CHECK IT at their Aguirre branch in BF Homes.
The winner - by Orange Whisk
The second #OrangeWhisk dish, this time using the mystery protein (lamb shoulder) at the #LSMat10#Adobolympics: lamb adobo using balsamic vinegar, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass and thai basil. And yeah I'm laying off the rice, but again this begs for it!❤Rapsaaaaa!
My cohorts today
Finally checked out this Aussie joint #BondiAndBourkefor lunch today, and really enjoyed this "George" salad of rocket (aka arugula), green apples, sautéed mushrooms, Gorgonzola and olives. Substantial, delicious and healthy! Eat your greens!
Oysters "Kilpatrick" with a bit of bacon, spicy BBQ sauce and chives
The Aussies know their meat pies - this one made with stewed beef and with a spot of cheese melted on top!😁 #BondiAndBourke
