5 Dishes to try at SUPERMANLY EATS 2016 in PODIUM

 
SUPERMANLY EATS 2016 is currently ongoing in PODIUM. Running for two consecutive weekends, June 18-19 and June 25-26, this is a welcome treat to the food loving community in the north part of the metro. Catering not only to foodies, a lot of up and coming restaurants put up shop that would definitely lure all the hungry patrons around. I was able to try a few dishes and here is my take on why you should do the same.

The first dish to try would be BAR PINTXOS' JAMON ALLIOLI. Salty yet perfect with the garlicy taste, the meat is not overly fatty but is still deadly.
PRO TIP: Partner it with their SANGRIA. Sweet and light, I could drink two to three of these babies in a few minutes.
 It might be pricey for some, but the quality and the taste for me is worth the 160Php price tag for 2 Jamon Allioli. Having them present in Podium is already a big saving for me as BAR PINTXOS is located down south in ALABANG.
The next dish to try would be SPICE BIRD'S CRISPY CHICKEN SKIN. Pegged at 100Php, these gorgeous and crunchy things are what would push you to go to the doctor early. So, take it one bite at a time. Salty, savory and crunchy. The only thing missing is rice. PRO TIP: Don't forget to get some sauces. Mix and Match! Remember, SPICE BIRD has a restaurant only in Boracay so treat this as a pop up event.
 Perfect for someone with a big appetite, the KITAYAMA burger would definitely make you full. The patty is okay and done nicely as they cook it based on your preference.
 If there was one dish that you have to try, it would be BANH MI'S signature salad roll. All the way from Pampanga, these babies are fresh and delicious. I'm not a healthy eater but I adore this. I think, I ordered 4 of them just because, I won't be going to Pampanga anytime soon. If you can score, ask for extra peanut sauce. You won't regret it. The crunchy texture partnered with the home made meat makes this incredibly good.
 Another must try would be BANH MI's TACOS. This was the first time I encountered it. The AL PASTOR. Guajillo Chile, Marinated Pork, Salsa Roja, Avocado Crema, Pineapple and chicharon. A little pricey at 100Php each, the flavor profile makes up for it.

 For dessert, you won't go wrong with RISA CHOCOLATE.
 The award winning chocolate brand has concocted different flavors. They mix their spices and even has a little surprise in each bite.
 Aside from getting bars of their chocolate, go for the LIQUID version. At 75Php, you might think that it's a little over the top. Believe me it isn't. The spoon is made from quality chocolate and so as the hot liquid in the small cup. Mix them both and dip the spoon in. Watch it as it melts and blends well with the hot chocolate.

BAR PINTXOS in ALABANG: More Than Alcohol.

BAR PINTXOS in ALABANG has been a secret destination for drinkers in the metro. Not only does it give off that neighborhood watering hole vibe, it also caters to foodies who love to eat.

Recently, I learned that a dining experience must be whole. Meaning to say, it can't be just about food. It needs to have great drinks and good old fashion fun together in one big basket.

Miguel, who handles the kitchen, notes that they do not just serve good food but they also have amazing drinks. Plus points for me. Recently, they have produced home grown craft beers that are under the CROWS brand.
From something light to down right IPA, it has the capacity to feel up whatever your taste buds might desire.
The dishes in BAR PINTXOS is more of pica pica or small bites. They usually whip up something new every few weeks and I could really see the ingenuity of Miguel.
The GILDAS with TUNA might be a little bit too much for some.

Anchovies is skewered with a huge pepper and tuna underneath. It isn't as spicy as it looks but you have been warned.
Upon learning that the BOQUERONES, UNI with CAVIAR was going to be served, I was delighted with joy.
Combining two of my favorite and rich seafood, I was ecstatic with each bite. The uni made it a smooth dish while the boquerones delivered its vinegar flavor making the dish a little zest. Delicious.
For spice lovers, they would enjoy the PIMIENTOS PADRON CHISTORRA. This one is a hot treat. Hot because of the peppers. I would suggest that you remove the seeds just to tone the heat level down a bit. The sausage on the other hand wasn't sweet. Rather it gave a meaty flavor that would work wonders when partnered with garlic rice.
Forgive me as I forgot this one dish's name that made me happy.

Ham on top, with uni and lardo on bread. You taste a symphony of flavors with one bite. Something meaty with a taste of the sea. Salty but pure bliss.
The OREJAS DE CERDO or PIG'S EAR doesn't look appetizing but if you're into deep fried crunchy stuff, this is your dish. One bite in and you get hooked and you would like to ask for more.
For rice lovers, the Lamb Paella is the perfect rice dish. the lamb is flavorful in each bite.
Interesting enough, BEEF CHEEKS are also served. These aren't the usual piece of meat that you might see on your table. Even so, the meat is tender and is flavorful. Get this with a cup of rice and you won't regret it.

If there is one dish that you must order it is the JAMON ALLIOLI.
Simple and straight forward. You get a lovely and delicious not overly fatty dish.
To end the meal on a sweet note, the PINTXO de CHOCOLATE might be for you. Chocolate cubes on top of bread with a dash of olive oil and salt. Weird but it works.

BAR PINTXOS, in Alabang, is a destination in itself. Coming from the north, this place is far from my residence and yet, I could see myself going back for more. The quality of the dishes and the drinks are incredible and I believe they really know how to make one's tummy happy. The dishes are straight forward and unpretentious. Just combine perfect flavor profile and everything is just wonderful.
