Porkchop. Breaded with chicharon. 🙈🐷 #porkoverload #porkypig #porklove • Pappy's is at the Grand Midori in Legazpi Vill. It's more of a place to unwind than a serious restaurant altho certain dishes like the Kiev are seriously hearty and something I would personally come back for. Don't come here for a business meeting even if it's at the heart of the business district unless you are alright with the next table hearing the details of your deal. Expect loud guests who speak like you're at nextdoor Mantra. (at Pappy's)

I'd forgotten about the German Club but after all these years it's still so good!! Love, first and foremost, the beer on tap, even if the choices don't include dark beer. Love the old school ambiance, even if I cracked up in the elevator because the "Penthouse" is just past the 4th floor. Love the goulash and pork knuckles. And loved the yuppie German crowd. *The German Club is at Eurovilla II on Rufino near cor Legazpi.

William Mahi to open his resto at the Fort this December ...

[margauxsalcedo]

Was in Baguio last Nov 4-6 and my latest winner discovery was Farmer's Daughter beside the cultural village Tam Awan. Hard to describe location but they are on Waze! They serve authentic Ifugao food. We had smoked pork and smoked beef that was beyond amazing. We also had dinakdakan, a kind of pork kinilaw, and pinikpikan, a chicken stew whose broth is made more succulent through the osmosis of a chicken's coagulated blood. Best of all, they welcome dogs! Can't wait to go back!

Had a quick reunion earlier this week with my old travel bud Erika and got the scoop that William Mahi has left City of Dreams to put up his own restaurant at the Fort, with lovely wife Heather at front of house! Story in today's Inquirer http://m.inquirer.net/business/219874

Had such a great time giving a talk on food writing before marketing students of De La Salle University yesterday. Can't believe it's been XX years since I graduated from this amazing school! XoM

Props to El Kusinero Claude Tayag who was a big hit at an Embassy Cook-off in Washington DC, showcasing Pampanga's bringhe using available Philippine ingredients in the US. He is back and brought home the People's Choice Award 🏆 Bringhe is the Pampanga version of paella/arroz valenciana. Claude used bangus (milkfish) and taba ng talangka (crabfat) 😍 Photos show his bringhe using Philippine heirloom rice and the award shared with his darleng wife Mary Ann Quioc.

Welcome to Manila Chef Gaston Riveira! 🇵🇭🇦🇷 Chef Gaston has flown in all the way from #Argentina and will be at La Cabrera until Wednesday as they usher in a new menu including a whole new line up of steaks! Steak lovers celebrate! 💃🏽 . For those who haven't been, La Cabrera is in 6750 across Shang Makati (in the old Giraffe), and it's perfect for a power lunch or dinner - just be sure to come hungry because the sides alone will stuff you silly!🍴 Clockwise: With Chef Gaston Riveira and La Cabrera Manila partner Carlo Lorenzana. La Cabrera in Buenos Aires has been ranked #22 in #LatinAmericas50Best for Chef Gaston's "faultless cooking style". ♨️ So happy to spontaneously reunite with Bangkok travel buds Sandy Daza and Maricris Encarnacion. And FINALLY met Davao's best @thecrazycook_ph!! 👯 Best steak! We had the pleasure of devouring their Wagyu Coulottes cooked so perfectly the fat was irresistible. 👍🏼 La Cabrera proudly serves Lagarde wines. 🍷 (at La Cabrera Manila)
