Kitayama Farms – Delicious Philippine Raised Wagyu Beef

Wagyu beef gets great raves for the meat tenderness and spectacular marbling. Literally translating to Japanese cow, wagyu is normally seen in the more high end steak shops (like Wagyu Stone Grill), and commands a relatively high price depending on the grade of marbling (probably due to import taxes and other duties). When you think about it, though, no one is stopping anyone from getting some of these bovines and…

Philippine Wagyu Corned Beef from Mr. D’s Artisanal

In the Philippines, the word “Wagyu” gives the first impression of a somewhat high-end steak great for grilling.

Specifically, Philippine Wagyu Corned Beef? There can be murmurs about how good meat might have been better used for steak…

Malcolm’s Burger – Wagyu Burger, Wine, World Cup

It was a rainy Friday evening last week and we were hungry after a long day at work.  It was a debate between eating now to let the rain die down or driving closer to home and searching for a place to eat there.  Waiting the rain out won and we found ourselves at Malcolm’s in the Fort. And wow, were we happy or what we made that decision.  We…

Rye Takes Flight at Il Ponticello

Il Ponticello has successfully reinvented itself recently, with a more grown up vibe coupled now with culinary reiterations of classic Italian inspired dishes fit for a more distinguished palate. It’s like the place grew up along with its old patrons, who are now looking for the finer things in life than the old buy-one-take-one shots of the infamous blue cocktail called Azzuri. And part of this growing up is a…

Beef, Beer, Bacon – An En Route Manly Dinner Party

Here at En Route, it’s all about simple, homey, comfort food dishes that any man or woman is bound to love (this is also because this is the most we can cook with our current abilities. Those manchego souffles and tomato confit ala Lolo Dad’s still need to be practiced). But for this dinner set, it’s all about a manly dinner consisting of meaty, cheesy, and boozy goodness that every…

How Can We Expect the Population to Lose Weight With This? (2012 Edition)

It’s been long overdue as it is already past the second half of 2013. Nevertheless, it is a great way to recap some of the tasty memories of 2012 that are now probably lost in accumulated lipids.

Marufuku – Your Secret Japanese Solace in Ortigas

Back in the lunch at Mesclun branch in Linden Suites, a couple of friends got to talking that there doesn’t really seem to be a great Japanese restaurant in the Ortigas Business District area here in the Philippines. If Japanese food was to be talked about, it would always be one of the favorites coming from the Little Tokyo Area in Makati. There is, however, one great find that a…

Homemade Treasures Classic Ensaymada and Cheese Roll

During one get together, a good friend mentioned that there is this brand of home-made, non commercialized ensaymada and cheese rolls that just need to be ordered as a small treat once in a while.

Postcard: Food Tripping in Barcelona

Ray: I am in Iberico ham heaven. Forget about La Sagrada Familia for a while. Forget about the works of Antoni Gaudi even just for a day. This wall, in itself, is a masterpiece.

Little did I know that even their curing and breeding methods are of endless varieties. So apparently the…

How Nomama Breaks Away from all the Ramen Joints in Manila
