I know everyone noticed this change in appearance of the site and do not worry it has it’s purpose!! (Drum rolls please)

As I venture more deeper into the culinary world I am now going to tap into…(dun dun dun dun!!)…

Illegal herbs and spices! 

Molecular “freaking awesome” Gastronomy!!!!

Yes!! this is it!! haha!

I have been busy the past few weeks reading, researching and trying to get the idea of molecular gastro and thus this Idea is born, so expect the next posts are going to be stuff about the madness the mad scientists/chefs

/crazyfooddies of this era that I, (future mad chef) am reading and/or learning from.

So be excited, and yes I am ordering you to be excited! Because from this point on we are going to go overboard!!!

Lets talk favorites, a classic pinoy favorite style of cooking is ihaw-ihaw, or the inihaw.

Inihaw is basically grilled food, and us Filipino’s we grill on top of our uling (charcoal) to get that distinct smokey flavor that us pinoy’s L-O-V-E!

We have ihaw-ihaw everywhere, from restaurant ihaw-ihaw, home style ihaw, or just plainly street ihaw or what we commonly known as our barbeque, that’s just moving around and scattered around the streets of the Philippines.

So here’s your chance to let us know what your favorite inihaw is and yes you can state your favorite sawsawan as well, from ihaw that you miss since you were a child or even your self made recipe that involves grilling, may it be ISAW PLACE, BBQ PLACE, A RESTAURANT. Tell us we want to know..

To start off here’s my favorites on an improvised grill here at home..

Freshly Grilled Tilapia and Inihaw na baboy and of course served with toyo-calamansi with a hint of heat in it. =)

Post your favorites and make our mouths water! =)

Hungry for more gastronomes?

So it’s very typical to have a few wine pairing dinner functions happening around the metro, but what I used to remember is us doing a beer pairing event with a very interesting wide selection of beers in their arsenal.
