I've been attending a lot of cooking demos lately. It's nice to learn all these previously unheard of tips from the top chefs and it strengthens my assumption that not every detail and technique are written in cookbooks. You gotta find your own style in cooking and hear it from the masters themselves.You can only do this by seeing them up close. YUMMY Magazine was kind enough to sponsor a cooking demo by Tristan Encarnacion, the young resident chef of the early morning show Unang Hirit. One part of Robinsons Supermarket was crowded that day with an audience who were ... Continue Reading...
Kenji Tei Ramen House: the best ramen in our book!
We're quite loyal to Kenji Tei Ramen House since it's proudly born and running in the South (BF Homes!). This is after tasting the ramen joints along Pasay Road, including the much-ballyhooed Ukkokei Ramen Ron. Kenji Tei still tops it for us. We've eaten in the place a dozen times now and the consistency remains the same. Sigh. Their bowl of ramen prices have even gone up, from just P180 in 2009 to P240 at present. But the fact that Kenji Tei is opening in Greenbelt 5 soon means that they must be doing something good. A few things that we look for in a good bowl ... Continue Reading...
Dining in the south: Mama Lou’s Italian Kitchen in Las Piñas City
Lori over at Dessert Comes First asked her readers about the best place in town that serves fries.On ordinary days, I'd say McDonald's but somehow,I can't forget the french fries served at Mama Lou's Italian kitchen that combines three of my favorite things: gravy, cheese and bacon! This bacon poutine is certainly my favorite:) Is it good? Say that again! I believe that in the French region of Canada, poutine is a diner staple and is usually served with fresh cheese curds and brown gravy. I normally get my poutine fixation at Mama Lou's since places serving ... Continue Reading...
Dolce Vita Manila: the food
In my previous post, I told you about this wonderfully designed place in the heart of Mabini St. Manila. Honestly, I've been feeling sad at the state of decay that Ermita is in now until I discovered this hidden gem with all the Venetian masks inside the Casa Tesoro building. Chef Tiziano Cavallini lords it over the kitchen of Dolce Vita. He hails from Modena, said to be the food capital of Italy, and has worked in a four star Michelin-rated restaurant there. In his long career, the chef has cooked for the likes of Queen Elizabeth and Luciano Pavarotti. I guess ... Continue Reading...
Dolce Vita Steakhouse: my favorite Italian spot in Manila
Ermita, Ermita! I've worked in this area for the past 10 years and even hang out here during that era when Penguin Cafe, Hard Rock and other restos still ruled it in Remedios Circle. Fast forward to 2011 and it seems the area now is a hodge-podge of Korean joints, condos being constructed and the giant mass of concrete called Robinsons mall. I was certainly glad to find my favorite Italian spot amid the speeding jeepneys of Mabini St. (Mabini, incidentally was the site of all the girlie bars in the 80s, until Mayor Alfredo Lim closed them all down). You won't miss ... Continue Reading...
