Oh, man, Shangri-La. Look at all those places to eat. Cool. You’ve got Jap food, specialty restaurants, heck, look, they’ve even got - would you look at that - Philippine cuisine. I’ve got to check that out.Wonder what that they serve... can’t be that bad, considering what that reviews say. I mean, check this one out, from the bastion of truth, the Manila Standard.
A huge part of its success is [restaurant]’s penchant for reinvention. [Restaurant] is known for regional classics given a twist by incorporating Western techniques while at the same time preserving their distinctive tastes. Lest it be tagged as a fusion restaurant, [Interviewee], one of the chefs headlining [restaurant}, explained, “It’s not a mix of dishes, but we try to use indigenous ingredients to present the dish in a new light.”
The results of all this kitchen wizardry? A plethora of Filipino dishes, several of which having descriptive names that tickle the taste buds even as you read them on the menu.
Yes, yes, penchant for reinvention. Plethora, baby! I have got to try this joint.
Well, anyway, lest I think it’s Asian fusion, anyway. And I think, I think, these are actual items on an actual menu, conceived by actual human beings.
