DELICIOUS FOOD WITH CHEF MARGARITA FORES: More Reasons to Visit Hong Kong this 2017

For Filipinos, Hong Kong has been one of the first overseas destination one visits. As this is the closest out of the country place to have a vacation, it seems logical that it is the gateway to traveling abroad. Getting around is easy as pie with the MTR and other modes of transport. Plus, a number of the locals could speak in English and guide you on your way.
Yesterday, the Hong Kong Tourism Board launched a campaign to attract visitors to Hong Kong. Aptly coined as "BEST OF ALL IT'S IN HONG KONG", different avenues were shown as reasons to go back and enjoy everything HONG KONG has to offer. Aside from shopping, outdoor destinations, theme parks and family gatherings, one of the main reasons to visit HONG KONG would be the food. Thankfully 2016 ASIA'S BEST FEMALE CHEF, MARGARITA FORES was there to give everyone a taste of HONG KONG. Different dishes were served and created based on impressions and inspirations from Hong Kong delicacies.
To start, A CRAB TRIO SFORMATO was elegantly delivered. Inspired by the Shanghainese Hairy Crab and The Chairman, this is a rich and savory dish that gives crab a delicious name. After whetting the appetite, a HANDMADE EGG TAGLIERINI was done in an Asian Bolognese style. A cured goose liver sausage ragu gave the dish a little grasp and oily texture. Taste wise, the chutney pork made wonders along with the minced meat.
A little infusion of Filipino creativity was showcased with the SPICED US ANGUS SHORT RIB "ADOBO". Davao chocolate with Negros Cinnamon and Five Spice made the flavors pleasant and familiar. The tempura styled squash flowers were a surprise and fitting garnish to this dish.
To give presentaion a little flair, the SPOTTED PHILIPPINE GAROUPA was served in a cardboard box. Inspired by claypot rice, the Garoupa was done in such a way that it complimented the Cordillera Black Rice and the crunchy burnt version as well.
To end a lavish meal, the SALTED EGG PANNA COTTA and RED BEAN ENSAIMADA was served. Presented in such a way that a fusion of HONG KONG and FILIPINO flavors were done, this dish is a fitting tribute to sum up everything. The Salted Egg flavor was not like that of the usual powder version. Rather, it felt homey and a bit on the unrefined side. Not that it's not good thing, rather it was delicious. The red bean was a surprise. Inside the soft and cheesy bread, it wasn't overly sweet as such it was just right.

MCDONALD'S PHILIPPINES :THE NEW BURGER MCDO 2016

 
 With the media mileage the new burger from Mcdonald's is getting, I wondered how was it. What make's it different? Is it something new?
According to Mcdonald's, preferences mature over time. For them, it is time to grow. The burger in itself is not really new but rather improved making it better. 
One afternoon, I was able to try the new burger from Mcdonald's.
From the outside, nothing visually changed. Same wrapper and same size. Once I opened it up, secret sauce was everywhere and a slightly thicker burger patty.

 Then I went for it. One bite and I felt that it was a little meatier compared to before. The secret sauce was somewhat a little bit sweeter. The bun was soft and it was okay. For me, the changes were  aimed towards satisfying the Filipino taste buds. For something that costs 55Php with a drink, I guess it's not so bad. Perfect for a quickie. How was your new burger Mcdo experience?

OSAKA OHSHO'S New dishes: SUKIYAKI at its finest


Osaka Ohsho is known for their amazing gyozas and other Japanese dishes. This time around, they have new ones to tickle us fancy. 

Pictured above is the BEEF SUKIYAKI. Something very familiar to the Filipino Palate, the Beef Sukiyaki is a must when it comes to having a sweet Japanese Broth.

The ASARI GYOZA SUKIYAKI SOUP is more for the nori lover. The Miso Clam Based broth, interestingly works well with the noodles and the nori. A must try.

For the not so adventurous, you could go for a more conventional sukiyaki. The GYOZA CHICKEN SUKIYAKI SOUP. This one right here makes use of the original gyoza along with chicken, mushrooms and mixed veggies. A rich miso soup base is also used for this one.
