Time Travel Recipe by Willie Evangelista

I hate Mondays – rest days are over, emails are backed up and it is super traffic. I also hate Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays because you still have to go to work. Fridays – not so much. I still need to make money, you know.

I hope there is some way to make it seem like Friday because Fridays are awesome! I know! I’ll cook my Time Travel Recipe by Willie Evangelista a.k.a. Guisadong Monggo!

Archipelago 7107 by Barrio Fiesta

Archipelago 7107 by Barrio Fiesta is a perfect example of classic meets modern tradition. With her modern fixtures and exquisite Filipino specialty foods, makes her a must-go food destination.

Tinapa roll (P175), fried spring rolls with sweet sauce. Not your ordinary spring rolls, since they're made with tinapa fillings. It's the perfect starter to tease those taste buds.

Get to try both of these delicious rice combinations. on the left we have Ilocano Rice (P245), which is made up of crisp fried bagnet, Vigan longganisa, salted egg, onions, tomatoes on top of flavored rice and on the right, we have Tuyo Rice (P175), garlic fried rice with dried fish, scrambled eggs and tomatoes on the side.

These rice specialties are a meal itself, combining the best of the North and the best of the South. This would surely capture every Filipino's palate.

Sa Kanto - enjoy streetside food without the guilt + Winner of Whirlpool 100 Recipe's Cookbook

Sa Kanto at The Podium

But before we go into that, I would like to congratulate the winner of our Whirlpool 100 Recipe's cookbook. After a random draw, our winner is no other than

Ms. Rachelle Therese F. Gonzales

Congratulations! You just won for yourself a limited edition Whirlpool 100 Recipe's Cookbook. Please expect an email from me, on how you could pick up your prize... and so back to our post.

Sa Kanto, so you wonder why the name? Well "Sa Kanto" in English would mean "at the corner". That is what we usually say or go to when we look for well, street food. And Sa Kanto offers a wide array of treats that most of us, because of hygienic purposes, are depriving ourselves of.

Ibayo by Barrio Fiesta

Remembering the good old days.... We would always dine at Barrio Fiesta in J. Bocobo St. in Malate, Manila during the weekend. Oh yes! those were the good old days... family times, great food, fond memories.

But how can we ever forget our favorite dishes.... now list them down Bouillabaisse (Barrio Fiesta Seafood Cream Soup); the ever so mouth watering Crispy Pata; the gravy rich Bulalo Steak; yummy Camaron Rebosado; and the delectable Kare-Kare with a pinch of Bagoong (Shrimp paste).

But as time progresses, things change, people age, but the tradition still stays the same... but now with a different twist. Now from the long line of new generations from the clan of Barrio Fiesta, we now have IBAYO.

IBAYO by Barrio Fiesta, (ib'ayo) - meaning across prep. on the other side of; sa kabila; sa ibayo, sa kabilang panig o ibayo.

I've had one of the most fulfilling meals that I have ever had, the taste and aroma of the food being served to us was very tempting and it was really hard not to eat that much!! God help us..

Now may I take you to a place, a happy place where all food served is good and gone.
