Som No, I don't think there's any similarity between my favorite Japanese food and Korean food. The former I think is simple and artistic, the latter leans more on the "eclectic." Maybe it's because my tongue is not yet attuned to Korean food. There's always an element of surprise whenever I munch on kimchi, or marvel at the variety of sauces, dips and veggies laid out before me, like an intricate ceremony. It certainly felt surreal when I visited The Pork Room in Malate (it was on Jorge Bocobo, I think). As far as I know this Korean hole-in-the-wall is ... Continue Reading...

But then again maybe I was meant to taste the heavenly egg tarts that humid afternoon,with its flaky crust and melt-in-mouth custard that wasn't too sweet - just the right elements for my perfect dessert. The last time I tasted one was at Lord Stow's in Banawe close to ten years ago. It is still alive up to now, along ... Continue Reading...
