Reaching for my dream, I tried Wagyu Manila! The marbled sirloin’s clear fat melted in my mouth, questioning the need to chew. The Wagyu sushi was like fatty tuna sashimi! The total cost was 3,124 pesos but no problem. As a man, I flashed my card to the server and said, "On installment."
Family gatherings call for BITES TIME! Vanilla and rich caramel ice cream wrapped in crunchy milk chocolate, with fragrant roasted nuts. The four-piece pack is perfect for families! Sharing it brings smiles. Even a loner like me can't stop smiling while eating it! Only my lineage ends.
The joy of snapping and crunching, and perfect sweetness—that's Kit Kat. The joy of snapping, crunching, and bold sweetness—that's Take-it. In the Philippines, craving a Kit Kat? Take-it is your answer! Eat it during a work break? It’s sure to be delicious! Eat it while slacking off? It’ll cut my pay...
In Manila, I ate plapla (tilapia). Drawn by the local vibe, I found a gem of a restaurant. The plapla was massive, with flaky white meat, perfect with vinegar and ginger sauce. Great with beer too! I tried to come up with a witty ending for "plapla" but failed to keep it classy.
Filipino local breakfast, tapsilog. The rice is fried rice-like, but slightly burnt and hard. The beef is chewy and sweet-salty, perfect with the rice. It's a light, fitting breakfast, but tapsilog and I aren't compatible. I can't wake up early.
A man longing for his hot days in Davao heads to Manila. Hearing about delicious pares mami in Malate, I go! The bustling locals clearly indicate a famous spot. Pares mami's broth, with tender beef and voluminous noodles, made for a hearty meal. Manila might leave me longing too.
Davao's mangosteen was genuine. Its delicate and vibrant sweetness and acidity delighted my brain. Despite its excellence, it's not commercially cultivated in Japan. Is this a business opportunity? I'll study cultivation first... a 10-year wait for harvest? I can wait easily. Someone, please do it.
What was former President Duterte's favorite dish? Surrounded by celebrity photos, I was served bulalo, kinilaw, and tapa, Duterte's favorites. The rich carabao soup, especially the buttery bone marrow, was memorable. Experiencing gourmet food like a president left me with wonderful Davao memories.
Quick snack Chicharon Bulaklak is deep-fried pork intestines of Spanish origin. The astonishing crunch and savory oil make you forget the fat content as you devour it quickly and down beer rapidly. The result? Mach-speed happiness! Life at Mach-speed...
Next, I tried Pork Adobo, a Filipino dish of Spanish origin. The sweet and salty stewed pork pairs well with rice. The key to this dish is vinegar, which tightens the flavor and aids in preservation—a boon for households. I tried preserving adobo for my family but realized I had no family.
