A Weekend of Good Eating in Manila
Wall Street Journal Food and Drink columnist Robyn Eckhardt is giving due to the ‘magical, misunderstood cuisine’ of the Philippines.
Robyn debunks stereotypes of Philippine food that have been unjustly based on the (in)famous balut and the food chain Jollibee. She offers a weekend of world-class dining, which include classic Filipino fare like sinigang, pancit luglug, and halo-halo.
Among the places that she recommends are Abe at the Serendra Complex, where the deep-fried tilapia is a must try dish; Claire dela Fuente Grill and Seafood in Pasay, for your choice of the seafood catch of the day; Milky Way Cafe, for a salmon sinigang with banana blossoms; and Adriatico Cafe in Malate, for a snack of ensaimada paired with Edam cheese and hot chocolate.
I obviously like, no, love good Filipino food, so I do not need to be convinced that Philippine cuisine can hold its own in the international foodie scene.
