HISTORY, CULTURE AND GREAT FOOD AT ILUSTRADO RESTAURANT | FOODVENTURES



Discover history and culture while enjoying some of the best food this walled city has to offer.


Ilustrado Restaurant in Intramuros is celebrating its 29th year anniversary and to celebrate their anniversary, they are offering an 8-course Degustation menu for the whole month of October.




 The menu was created by Chef de Patron Bernice Pimentel. They utilize local cuisine and ingredients in an up-to-date fashion or the millennial way. 



We started our degustation with Kangkong Pesto Brioche served with Boursin Cheese. The bread was soft and I love the combination of the pesto and the Boursin Cheese. 
Next, we had the Kesong Puti Croquettes at Lato with baby mesclun and salsa verde aioli. 
Oyster Laing Rockefeller, it’s Aklan Oyster, chili, coconut, dried taro, reggiano, panko and lemon. I like that the oyster does not have that much “fishy” taste to it because of the saltiness of the laing. 


Sayote Egg Drop Soup. It’s a creamy soup that uses Quail Eggs instead of the usual chicken eggs. 




To cleanse our palate, they served us their Burong Mangga Sorbet. It’s made of pure mangga that’s a bit sour. 





Next is BBQ Pulled Pork Tostadas. It’s slow cooked pork, marinated in Sprite which is a very Filipino-style of marination. 




For our main, we had Sea Bass Sinantol. It’s Chilean Sea Bass fillet, Sinantol Fried rice and Aragula. 




And last, for our dessert, we had the Egg Pie Brulee. It’s bruleed egg tart, rose creme chantilly, strawberry, green grapes and mangoes. 



Diners have a choice whether to order the whole 8-course menu or choose only selected dishes from the menu. The whole menu is priced at P1,250 plus a 10% service charge.


Overall, It was a great experience. The menu was thoughtfully created.




 Thank you so much to Chef Bernice, to the owner and to all the staff who were so kind and took care of us and made our experience wonderful.

NEW PERUVIAN RESTAURANT IN QC | CEVICHE PERUVIAN GASTRO PUB | FOODVENTURES

Ceviche is a new Peruvian Restaurant in Quezon City. It is the well-known before as 'Don Andres Peruvian Restaurant' in Scout Tobias. They recently moved their restaurant in Sto. Domingo street and changed the name to 'Ceviche'.   This is my first time to know about Peruvian Cuisine and I know that most of Filipinos are not very familiar with it too. It's great that there's a new resto to try in Banawe area that is different from what we are accustomed to.  Peru is known for their Ceviche and it's a favourite dish of many in Peruvian cuisine. Ceviche is like our Kilawin but instead of using vinegar, they use citrus fruits like lime or lemon. The resto has a very homey ambience. Great painted wall art and colorful tables and chairs. Ceviche is also a gastropub and they have plenty of alcohol, beers and cocktails that you can choose from.  Ceviche has a wide menu from chicken to pork to beef to seafood.  ...

FEELING FRAZZLED LATELY? THE FRAZZLED COOK IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR YOU | FOODVENTURES

      Feeling Frazzled lately?  The Frazzled Cook is the perfect place for you to relax and clear your mind with the help of their good food and nice ambience. We had the chance to dine here because the Zomato Foodie Meet up was held here. Their resto is located at a quaint house along Sct. Gandia Street. The ambience of the  resto is great, relaxing and will make you feel at home.         Some of the food we sampled are:  Herbed Chicken Salad   - it has crisp greens with mangoes, a hefty serving of chicken and croutons in basil vinaigrette dressing.  Truffle Pizza with Chili Garlic Oil   - This is not yet on their menu. We're fortunate that we already had a taste of this delicious pizza. It's a cheesy pizza topped with mushrooms and truffle. For added flavor and kick, pour some Chili Garlic Oil on the pizza.  Seafood Paella  - The ser...
