The five must-try dishes at The Pig & Palm https://zee.ph/the-five-must-try-dishes-at-the-pig-palm/ https://zee.ph/the-five-must-try-dishes-at-the-pig-palm/#comments Mon, 08 Aug 2016 07:21:53 +0000 http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/?p=12581 Jason Atherton’s The Pig & Palm opened to much fanfare in Cebu last week. The Michelin-starred British chef’s first restaurant in the Philippines and 16th in the world, The Pig & Palm offers a modern Spanish tapas menu with a focus on pork dishes, along with innovative cocktails and bar snacks.

Just like any other new restaurant in town, it can get overwhelming to decide what to have, especially with The Pig & Palm’s selection of mouthwatering dishes. With Zee Lifestyle present at the media launch right after it opened, we give you some of the early favorites that’ll definitely keep you coming back for more.

SQUID CRACKERS

Squid crackers, potato aioli and black onion

Don’t be wary of the black color! The squid crackers, potato aioli and black onion is a light appetizer, with the dip bringing out the unique flavors of the squid. This would surely stave off the hunger pangs while making you look forward to the other courses.

CHICKEN KARAAGE

Chicken karaage and sriracha mayonnaise

Chicken karaage and sriracha mayonnaise

When you have sriracha mayonnaise, you can’t really go wrong with anything… especially not with The Pig & Palm’s chicken karaage. It’s a slightly heavier appetizer so tasty that you’re going to want to keep grabbing seconds. This, or the main courses? Yep, this definitely makes setting priorities difficult.

OLD-FASHIONED PORK TERRINE

Old-fashioned pork terrine, pistachio, "onion-onion & onion"

Old-fashioned pork terrine, pistachio, “onion-onion & onion”

The old-fashioned pork terrine is pleasantly cold to the taste buds, the temperature allowing for an irresistible burst of flavor. Just like the karaage, this loaf is quite the delicious treat that would easily make you decide to have it as a main course. And, no, we can’t really blame anyone for that.

KINILAW

Kinilaw of shrimp, calamnsi, pickled papaya, chili and coconut

Kinilaw of shrimp, calamansi, pickled papaya, chili and coconut

Every Cebuano knows what kinilaw is. Jason Atherton elevates this delicacy of sorts with a fresh take, serving the kinilaw on shells set on a bed of ice. The zesty flavors brought about by the calamansi makes this dish ridiculously addicting.

ROASTED SUCKLING PORK

Roasted suckling pork, soya onion gravy, apple, mustard leaf

Roasted suckling pork, soya onion gravy, apple, mustard leaf

Sure, call it lechon, but you’ll have to admit this is roasted pork unlike anything else before. The meat is temptingly tender, the skin roasted to that perfect crisp, and that soya onion gravy is a surprising twist that makes a lot of sense. If there’s a star in Atherton’s Pig & Palm menu, this would definitely be it.

Do you agree with our list? Sound off in the comments with your other recommendations!

Cheers to the new Bibendum Wines in Streetscape https://zee.ph/11624-2/ https://zee.ph/11624-2/#respond Sat, 06 Feb 2016 06:18:31 +0000 http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/?p=11624 Since 2012, Bibendum Wines has been the go-to shop for fine wines in Central and Southern Philippines. It continues to uphold their mission of offering a wide selection of quality wines from across the globe by opening their new home at the 2nd floor of Streetscape at Maria Luisa Road, Banilad last Saturday, February 6.

To maintain exemplary quality and ensure optimum storage and holding conditions, Bibendum utilizes refrigerated containers and climate-controlled storage facilities, including Vinecaves. At Bibendum Wines, you can try the wine prior to purchasing with their enomatic machine, which contains 8 different kinds of wine. The first taste is free, and the succeeding tasting portions are at a minimal amount.

With wines coming from France, USA, Chile, Spain, Australia, and South Africa, to name a few, choosing from perhaps the widest selection in Cebu may seem daunting. For those who simply do not know where to start, Bibendum provides a point system to make the selection process a lot easier. Professional wine critics have been using a simple 100-point rating to score wines, which is the quickest and most convenient way to determine the quality of wine.

Choosing good wine is made more convenient by looking at these ratings, which are indicated in Bibendum Wines’ labels. Bibendum Wines prides itself in having the best wine portfolio at the most affordable prices.

The Streetscape branch also has a small deli with the best sausages, cold cuts, and cheeses from premium shop, Santis Delicatessen to pair with your wine. An al fresco area with tables and chairs are available for those who want to enjoy their selection right there and then.

Bibendum also gives you the option to have wines delivered at your doorstep through Food Panda or their website.

BIBENDUM WINES
