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.

SUPERMANLY EATS is ongoing for a couple of weekends. I suggest you visit with a hungry tummy and an open mind. I'm planning to go back as I received word that the curry is excellent and that the ribs are also delicious. Cheers and enjoy the show.

Interesting Food Find in BEST FOOD FORWARD 2014: PHOTO ESSAY

Left and right! It was pandemonium! Drinks here, sandwiches there, rice meal somewhere at the back and a lot of dessert stalls. The mood was festive!
 On a 2nd straight weekend, the Rockwell Tent was able to host another awesome Food Bazaar. The BEST FOOD FORWARD 2014. 
The place was able to showcase a lot of food and drink vendors that were trying the food scene out. 

Along with friends and SO, I was able to visit the place on 2 straight days.
Of course, one of the main reason why we went was to get some cheese cake loving! INDULGENCE BY IRENE is the way to go!
 SO just had to have a picture taken with them as she is a fan just like I am! Sir Richard and Ma'am Irene! Thank you so much!
Sharing a booth with them was NIKKO's BAKING STUDIO.
She sold these amazing stuff that SO got some empanada for her to take home.


I actually saw some familiar stalls that were interesting.

CHEF ANNA was definitely hands on. Her PINK WASABI was right at the entrance.

I got a few of those sugar free dark chocolate flavored goodies and a few kashimaki's as well.
 
They look as if they were Japanese Maki but in reality, they are small bite sized cakes that are infused with different flavors like vodka and tea. 
Chef was gracious enough and gave me a copy of the menu so that I would know what I would be ordering next time around! Thank you chef!
Ever Present was and is one of my ever so favorite tapa's in the whole wide world! 
 JAM ANGUS TAPA!
They sold some rice meals and also their frozen packs! Along with them was awesome Longanisa from Cebu! CHORIZO DE CEBU PH! My friend and SO got to try them and they both agreed. MORE RICE PLEASE!
A favorite among the sandwich lovers was the 
CUBANO
Prepared by BIG DOG's KITCHEN, these are sandwich for the meat lover!
Made with roast pork, ham, cheese, pickles and a smear of mustard, you definitely can't stop with one bite!
 Right beside it was THE BREADERY! They sell interesting loaves and different kind of bread that I can foresee myself going over and hoarding some of them with a cup of coffee in hand! The OLIVE CHEESE is a personal favorite, along with the Truffle Bun. The truffle bun was deadly as it also had cream cheese inside! But the best seller was the Tea infused loaf! That was one of the best food find there. Flavorful and aromatic. Sulit for a something less than 200 Php that it was wiped out early in the afternoon. They would open up a place along Emerald Ave in Ortigas.

The BROWN BAKER had these packed chocolate goodies. One was ferrero flavored, another dark chocolate and one tea infused. Incredible!
Crunchy belly chicharon like munchies were right beside brown baker. Need more rice and its a steal!
Of course Madam liked it. =)

If you are into incredible dessert, the CRACK PIES would definitely lure you in. 
 Sweet yet incredibly sticky, these are cake like stuff that even SIR RICHIE of the PICKIEST EATER would be proud off. IT is definitely addictive but you need to slow down because its a SUGAR HIGH! Damn it!
 
Another dessert find was VIOLA!
They make these do it yourself cake in a jar. Interesting enough, they worked with a french chef to perfect their product. Add water, microwave and you are good to go! Instant Dessert!

BURGER & BREWSKIES was also present. Aside from their deadly burgers, I liked their grilled corn!
 Grilled for a few minutes and mixed with cheese and a bunch of spices, it definitely makes you go yum!
 Hands down, another favorite of foodies would be the  the CRUNCHY CRAB.
 
 They sell this amazing SOFT SHELL CRAB BURGERS. I liked it so much that I got it on both days. 
 

They got a stall over at Greenfield along Shaw during their Saturday Market.

All of these made me happy but being able to enjoy it with fellow foodies, friends and SO made it memorable. Cheers guys!

All for a good cause, BEST FOOD FORWARD was able to deliver and showcase up and coming food finds in the metro. After all the sights and sounds, it was a nice feeling to know that you helped while having fun with friends and having a good time. The proceeds of this food bazaar went on over to charity.
