He should try our Lechon Baka (Roasted Cow). :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-57416634491766496592009-03-11T16:18:00.000+08:002009-03-11T16:18:00.000+08:00Bucca and Heart and Elbow, come on over and have a...Bucca and Heart and Elbow, come on over and have a feast!<BR/><BR/>eMz, I know. It made me super hungry!<BR/><BR/>Kaith, Cebu's lechon is realy very good. My friend, Kate, who is from Cebu, regularly has it shipped here to Manila for her parties. And that's all it takes for all of us to show up!<BR/><BR/>Shorty, ya, the Philippines is a great surprise but sometimes I wish we were more OUT THERE!<BR/><BR/>Hi Mariel! Ya, made me sniffle. Poor Augusto...<BR/><BR/>Ria, wow! That is good to know =) Is the Chowking there the Chowking here? Ya, that's the problem with Pinoy food.

Made me crave sisig (we get most of everything here, except a really good sizzling sisig, and oh, bulalo with deep fried tawilis... and... lol, I guess there's more). <BR/><BR/>You know what? The cooks here in Dubai are actually trying to integrate Filipino dishes in the menu - in a posh cafe in Dubai Media City, their buffet used to serve Bistek Pinoy (or Filipino-style beef steak). <BR/><BR/>Chowking, though it's a mix of Pinoy and Chinese dishes, is doing pretty well here, and not only with Pinoys. <BR/><BR/>In general, I would say, we lack in presentation. A dish must look yummy, not only taste yummy. And that's a dream I and fellow UPians have here - putting up a Filipino restaurant that truly represents the Filipino cuisine. A posh one, mind you, not the carinderia type, to finally elevate it to international standards.RiaMHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018796997082267451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-9167634786151086902009-03-10T09:28:00.000+08:002009-03-10T09:28:00.000+08:00i saw this episode and it made me happy and miss t...i saw this episode and it made me happy and miss the Philippines.
