Eat well, travel often At the Yummy HQ, that’s one of our favorite mottos, and it’s such a happy coincidence that I’m writing this letter all the way from Tokyo!

For this particular trip, my husband, friends, and I planned for the agenda to include only four things: a À V V ViÀÌ] > `>Þ Ã iÞ > `] > Û Ã Ì Ì > y ÜiÀ «>À ] and food, food, food. In the past week, we’ve feasted on sushi, tempura, katsu, yakitori, ramen, steak, burgers, LÃÌiÀ À Ã] à vÌ ÃiÀÛi Vi VÀi> ] vÀ âi ý ÀiÃ] y> Þ pastries, single-origin coffee, and convenience-store onigiri (which is my favorite on-the-go snack). And still, there are restaurants and dishes on our list that we haven’t been able to tick off. It’s the usual case of too many things to eat, not enough meals in a day.

Today, food has become so intertwined with travel that some folks even hop on a plane for the sole purpose of eating and plan their itineraries around food. (That sounds a whole lot like our team, by the way; check out our favorite snaps on this page.) We’re as passionate about travel as we are about food, so we’ve dedicated this issue to exploring new places through their cuisine. Flip to our food-trip special on page 54 for an exclusive look at the travel diaries of some of our favorite food-loving friends; they’ll take you to Mexico, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Taiwan, Amsterdam, and Turkey. Now if you can’t leave town just yet, we’ve got recipes for international takes on fried chicken (page 36), grilled skewers from around the world (page 46), and island-inspired bites that will take you back to the sunny shores of Boracay (page 31).

Summer isn’t over yet and it isn’t too late to take off for a couple of days. So from us at Yummy, bon voyage and bon appétit!

My husband and I have a soft spot for Thailand.

Last September, we took a quick trip to Phuket and staycationed at Como Point Yamu. Not only was the entire resort designed beautifully, the food was top-notch, too! We can’t wait to go back.

—Paulynn During the Tenjin Matsuri summer festival, the whole of Osaka turns into one big party—complete with game booths and food stalls lining the streets. The street-side eats I really enjoyed were the mini pancake-like breads.

Warm, buttery, and pillowy soft—perfect afternoon snack!

—Anna

This was from when I ate at Cheek by Jowl over at the Tiong Bahru district in Singapore. I loved the food so much that it apparently showed and the chef even came over to have a quick chat with us!

—Chino One of my most memorable family trips was when we had the chance to eat breakfast in Germany, lunch in Luxembourg, and dinner in Belgium.

Three meals in three different countries in one day! This is me i>Ì } > i } > Ü>vyi as a break between those meals.

LORI BALTAZAR Writer, stylist, and photographer, Dessert Comes First

CARMELA VILLEGAS -AGOSTA Owner, Casa San Luis Pastries; Yummy columnist In this issue, I…wrote about the food adventures that my husband and I had in Hawaii during our honeymoon last year (“A taste for adventure,” page 54).

The best thing about that assignment was…reliving all my favorite memories from the trip—eating delicious poke bowls, trying local delicacies, catching the sunrise at 10,000 feet, and seeing a seal up close sleeping on the beach.

One thing that I would like to do before this summer is over is…get in as many barbecue parties with friends as possible.

One of the best food trips I’ve taken was…last year when my good friends got married in Devonshire, UK, an area Ü v À `> ÀÞ° / iÀi] >` Þ wÀÃÌ experience eating scones and clotted cream—I ate it every day during every meal. I even had clotted cream ice cream! It’s so creamy and surprisingly vÕ v y>Û À° ÕÀ } Ì i ÌÀ «] > Ã made a rum tres leches cake and served it with clotted cream and fresh berries on the side.

The next food destination that I’m eyeing is…Taiwan. I want to check out their food markets.

An heirloom recipe that I want to learn and eventually pass on to the next generation is…my mom’s kaldereta. It melts in your mouth and is Ài> Þ y>Û ÀvÕ ° - i ÃÌ >à ½Ì Ì ` i the secret ingredient she adds to make it so creamy!

A no-fail Mother’s Day gift I recommend is…something homemade. My mom, for example, loves receiving framed photos and scrapbooks.

JAE DE VEYRA PICKRELL Features and copy editor, Preview In this issue, I…wrote the food guide on Mexico City (“A taste for adventure,” page 54).

The best thing about that assignment was…reliving my delicious Mexico memories.

One thing I would like to do before this summer is over is…develop arm strength so I can build the perfect Ramos Gin Fizz at home.

The best food trip I’ve taken is…my 30th birthday trip, hands down. It started in New York, from cheap slices at Prince -ÌÀiiÌ * ââ> Ì > v> VÞ i> >Ì iÛi Madison Park; then Washington, D.C., for >` -> ÌÆ Ì i iÝ V ÌÞ > ` ">Ý>V>] from dingy taco stalls to Pujol and mezcal palenques; and lastly, L.A., for more tacos and—don’t judge—BevMo! The next food destination that I’m eyeing is…way too many, but any with a storied tea culture would likely take the cake, so I can learn more about my latest obsession.

My top tips to taking good travel photos are…vÀ> i Üi > ` > Ü>ÞÃ w ` the light—that’s the entire battle.

A no-fail Mother’s Day gift I recommend is…a love letter. It’s more precious than any trinket.

In this issue, I…wrote about the lessons my mom taught me about food and life (“Lessons from mom,” page 62).

The best thing about that assignment was…remembering the aromas and the excitement I felt when my mom taught me how to make my wÀÃÌ V iiÃiV> i° One thing I would like to do before this summer is over is…create my own poke bowl. I realize that it’s nothing more than a trendy chirashi bowl, but I want to add my own spin on it anyway.

One of the best food trips I’ve taken was…last year when my husband and I brought our daughter to London. For two weeks, we immersed ourselves in the vibrant food culture and really enjoyed being together. The best thing we ate, at least for me, was Turkish eggs: soft-cooked eggs poached in chili-olive oil and bathed in yogurt. I still dream about it!

The next food destination I’m eyeing is…New York. My husband and I are heading there later this year to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.

An heirloom family recipe that I want to learn and pass on to the next generation is...the Capampangan-style ensaymada: the proper, big-as-a-plate ones that I grew up with, made with real butter and lots of sugar and queso de bola. No } À wi`] ÃÕ}>ÀÞ pandesal here!

A no-fail Mother’s Day gift I recommend is…turmeric powder— pure and without sugar. All the mothers I know drink it. Turmeric is a nutritional powerhouse with both anti y> >Ì ÀÞ > ` > Ì V>ÀV }i V properties; it’s practically edible magic. I suggest using it in smoothies, lattes, and everyday cooking.

[2] Scallops are easily distinguished by their large, light-colored, fan-like shells. The meat is white, round, plump, and sweet with a silky texture.

Some scallops have roe, an edible orange sac, attached to the meat. Scallops cook quickly and are great baked, stir-fried, seared, or used for adobo.

[3] Halaan and tulya are actually the same type of clam.

Also called Manila clams, halaan are harvested in saltwater.

Their meat is sweet and tender, making them perfect for adding to clear soups. Tulya are the same clams, but taken from fresh water. Their shells are smaller and harder, and their meat slightly tougher. Try them in your next clam chowder.

[4] Popular all over the world, oysters have hard, rough, and irregularly shaped shells that look like rocks. Their meat is treasured for its creaminess and silkiness, especially when fresh.

Locally known as talaba, oysters can be eaten raw with just a squeeze of lemon, baked, or even breaded and fried.

razor clams, and tikhan in some provinces, these shells can be grilled over coal or stir-fried with garlic, ginger, and black beans.

Related to bamboo shells are diwal, which are bigger in size.

Modern Filipino A mix of traditional crafts and modern elements infuses this kitchen with a contemporary Filipino identity.

The lady of the house—an artist, designer, and passionate craft purveyor—chose red for the kitchen of her spacious home. “The color energizes a space,” she says. Against this vivid backdrop, the homeowner expresses her love for the arts and all things local and handmade. In this room, guests also get a glimpse of her vibrant spirit.

Most of the décor and tableware come from Soumak, the homeowner’s specialty store. Atop the cabinetry are baskets made by the Mangyan of Mindoro mingling with other pieces from Africa and Japan. A few antiques—such as the Ifugao chair and carved wooden rice bowl— complement a Gerry Tan art piece that hangs on a wall. It is a portrait of the homeowner’s grandmother, her lola Nisa, at age 18. “She was a cook at the Sta. Ana Hospital, and she taught i Ü Ì «Ài«>Ài ` à iÃ Ü i Ü>à wÛi Þi>Àà old,” the homeowner discloses.

This page, from top: Gerry Tan’s work, featuring the homeowner’s lola Nisa, hangs above an Ifugao chair.

Pottery and handwoven linen lend warmth to the modern kitchen. Opposite page, from top: The kitchen cabinets are also used to display the homeowner’s collectibles.

The lady of the house serves Filipino food using a mix of china, cutlery, and glassware, giving her spreads an international look and feel.

On the counter, there are napkins and dish towels from local weavers that sit alongside pottery from various provenances. There is an intriguing tray made from native burl wood by master artisan Osmundo Esguerra. A sparkling chandelier is the homeowner’s master stroke— it serves as the anchor piece and creates a pleasing contrast to the other elements’ rustic appeal.

A quick look reveals the homeowner’s ability to mix various modes, which gives the kitchen an international vibe. The room can be any kitchen from anywhere in the world, except that Tagalog is often spoken around the space’s island where traditional Filipino dishes and fusion cuisine are served. There are dishes that borrow from Western recipes, including the homeowner’s pasta sautéed with garlic and fermented mustard leaves. But just like her ÌV i ½Ã `ià } ] Ì iÀi >Ài >À >à > ` y>Û Àà that give away the dish’s roots, reminding you that you are indeed in a Filipino home.

ROCKY ROAD ICE CREAM CAKE

BY JOEY DE LARRAZABAL-BLANCO

ith summer in full swing and Mother’s Day just around the corner, you’ll surely attend lots of parties and potlucks. This is the season when I like to experiment with new dishes. This recipe is an amalgamation of several crab dip recipes I’ve come across, with a little something extra from me—I added aligue to give it richness!

The great thing about this recipe is that you can adjust the ingredients according to your taste. Add more aligue for an extra decadent dip or use more lemon zest to cut the crab fat’s richness. Dial up the heat as much as you like! Experiment with your favorite chilies, hot sauces, and HYHQ $VLDQ FRQGLPHQWV OLNH 6ULUDFKD DQG JRFKXMDQJ , XVHG FD\HQQH SHSSHU EHFDXVH LW JLYHV KHDW ZLWKRXW LPSRVLQJ LWV ÀDYRU This is a great appetizer to serve at home or bring to a party. If you bring it somewhere, simply reheat it in an oven just until bubbly. What makes this recipe easy—and easy is always welcome when you’re a busy mom—is that you cook and serve it in just one dish. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there!

HOT CRAB DIP Serves 4 Prep Time 5 to 10 minutes Cooking Time 20 to 25 minutes

using good canned crabmeat is a huge timesaver.

I like using the Saravia Blue Crab brand because the crabs they use are caught, cooked, and canned locally, and are of excellent quality. Find it at the Salcedo Market on Saturdays.

Vietnamese Grilled Fish Skewers

MAKE STANDOUT SKEWERS BY FOLLOWING THESE TIPS:

PAGE 48

CHOOSE THE RIGHT SKEWER. Heavier meats such as chicken, beef, and pork require thicker and sturdier sticks. It’s best to use metal ones for these, but thick wooden ones will do, too.

Fish, shrimp, and other Ãi>v ` Ü Ü À w i Ü Ì bamboo or thinner wooden sticks.

SOAK BEFORE USING. Immerse your wooden and bamboo skewers in a bowl of water for 30 minutes right before using them. This will keep them from burning while you grill.

COAL IS COOL. Grilling over charcoal will >`` iÝÌÀ> y>Û À Ì Þ ÕÀ skewers. (Crisp burnt ends are always welcome!)

Preheat your griller to medium-high heat before use. While cooking, constantly check your coals to see if they’re too hot or are already spent. If you can’t grill over coal, invest in a thick, heavy-bottomed grill pan that you can use indoors, over a stove.

IT’S ALL IN THE CUT. The size of your meat chunks plays an important role in achieving the perfect skewer. First, choose meat that has the right amount of fat so the sticks remain moist and tender. Second, make sure the pieces are the same size so that they w à V } >Ì Ì i Ã> i time. Finally, oil your meat before grilling to keep it from sticking to the grill.

ADD COLOR AND TEXTURE. Don’t be afraid to add vegetables and fruits to your skewers. Try eggplant, whole chilies, and zucchini; watermelon, peaches, and lemon wedges.

Mushrooms and tofu are great additions, too. Just remember that fruits and vegetables cook more quickly than meat, so place them at the skewers’ ends, where they’re exposed to the least amount of heat. www.yummy.ph

MEXICO CITY

WHEN IN MEXICO CITY,

BEST BITES Preview features and copy editor and La Chinesca co-owner Jae de Veyra Pickrell gives a rundown of must-eats in this bustling city.

From street-food stalls that specialize in only one kind of taco to some of the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50 Best restaurants, Mexico Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or DF (short for Distrito Federal), as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known to localsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will give you plenty to explore. Food tours are a no-brainer way to acquaint yourself with DF. Taco crawls and market tours will conveniently introduce you to the breadth of what this city KDV WR RĚ&#x2020;HU ZLWKRXW WKH EXUGHQ RI hours of research and frantic Google Mapping. Club Tengo Hambre (www.clubtengohambre.com) and Eat Mexico (www.eatmexico.com) RĚ&#x2020;HU FXVWRPL]DEOH WRXUV WKDW FDQ EH planned around what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. Let the pros introduce you to what they think is best across the city; from there youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be introduced to the basics, then you can explore further based on what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve discovered.

Before your trip, I suggest you do your research way ahead of time.

There are plenty of online resources that crack the surface of this foodobsessed city. Eater and Chowhound are my go-tos. Save everything on Google Maps before you go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Starâ&#x20AC;? your destinations so that you can see where your stops are located, then you can visit clusters in one go. This is especially helpful when planning your itinerary; and in case your meal plans fall through when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there, a quick glance can give you backup options nearby, stat.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to get your hands dirty! Some of the most delicious, satisfying treats I had in the city LQFOXGH WKH VLPSOH DQG XQDĚ&#x2020;HFWHG tuna tostada from Contramar (which inspired our tuna tostada at La Chinesca); al pastor tacos from El Huequito (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the crunchy bits sliced from the trompo); campechano tacos with chicharrĂłn prensado from El Jarocho (a salty meat hodgepodge perfect for taco-loving carnivores); a blue corn tlacoyo with squash blossoms and quesillo from a street vendor outside the Mercado MedellĂ­n; a sweet and tart fruit called tuna (green prickly pear)

MAKE A STOP AT THESE RESTAURANTS:

TAQUERIA EL TURIX I thoroughly enjoyed their cochinita pibil taco: Slow-roasted pulled pork marinated in Seville oranges and achiote, a corn tortilla dipped in meaty juices, and a sharp smothering of red onions. El Turix is located in the upscale Polanco neighborhood, but draws in its crowd from all over.

EL HIDALGUENSE A meal here should make it to your itinerary. Their lamb barbacoa is imperative: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrapped in maguey leaves and roasted over an open y>Â&#x201C;i Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC; Ă&#x152;Â&#x2026;i Â&#x153;Ă&#x153;Â&#x2DC;iĂ&#x20AC;½Ă&#x192; Ă&#x20AC;>Â&#x2DC;VÂ&#x2026; outside of DF, and driven all the way to the city. Pro tip: Go for breakfast to avoid lines (they open at 7 a.m.) and have the house soup, made from the juices of the barbacoa that have seeped during transport. And order plenty of tortillas! Go for the sesos (brains), too.

RESTAURANTE NICOS Fergus Henderson ate just a few tables away from ours during lunch, and Ruth Reichl waxed poetic about the guacamole prepared tableside. The chef is a proponent of the slow-food movement. Save this for a long, leisurely lunch so you can methodically go through the extensive menu of classic Mexican dishes.

PUJOL Chef Enrique Olvera has helped shine the spotlight on Mexican food again, thanks to his restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elegant and cosmopolitan take on local cuisine. Go for the tasting menu and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss out on the much lauded baby corn with costeĂąo chile mayonnaise and chicatana ant. Another must-try is their famous mole dish, which is composed of two thick ladles of moleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; one new, the other cooked for a thousand days.

Raohe Street Night Market

WHEN IN TAIPEI, EAT AT THESE TOP SPOTS:

DA WAN This is one of the best yakiniku joints Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to! They know their meat really well and can cook it to perfection. Order the A11 steak: Cooked over charcoal three times, the result is a perfect medium-rare with the fat beautifully rendered.

The grocery section offers fresh sushi and bento boxes, while the restaurant rows are lined with sushi bars, seafood spots, hot-pot joints, and charcoal-grill restaurants that serve a variety of seafood and meat cooked on the spot.

TAIPEI

EAT YOUR WAY AROUND THE CITY Eliza Antonino, founding and managing partner of The Moment Group, which runs Din Tai Fung, 8 Cuts, and more, lists everything you need to try in Taiwanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital.

What makes Taipei an aw esome food destination?

From quick bites at street-side stalls to hours-long dinners at chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tables, and everything in between, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something in Taipei for visitors who travel to eat.

RAOHE STREET NIGHT MARKET If you have time to visit just one night market, make it this one. Come with an empty stomachâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to try all the food stalls here! Aside from the pepper pork buns, my favorites are the torched beef cubes, takoyaki, grilled Taiwanese sausage, and fried milk.

MALA YUANYANG HOTPOT The best hot-pot buffet I have ever tried! The choices for seafood, hot-pot balls, meats, vegetables, and noodles are generous. The buffet even offers draft beer and Häagen-Dazs ice cream. A meal here is best enjoyed with a large group.

What makes Istanbul a food destination to add to your bucket list?

ISTANBUL

WORTH EVERY VISIT Writer Pauline Suaco Juan tells us why she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough of the Turkish capital.

They have sophisticated, creative chefs who push the boundaries of Turkish cuisine. Mikla (www. miklarestaurant.com), Turkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest rated restaurant (number 51 on the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best list), helmed by Turkish-Finnish chef Mehmet GĂźrs, is reinventing the Anatolian kitchen. More satisfying for me, though, are spots along small streets and narrow alleys, which serve home-cooked meals featuring recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation. Istanbul is a street-food SDUDGLVH DQG \RX FDQ HDW \RXU ÂżOO from food carts to markets to little storefronts. Culinary Backstreets (www.culinarybackstreets.com) has catalogued and collected the stories of these unsung cooks, designating â&#x20AC;&#x153;Culinary Backstreets Superheroâ&#x20AC;? to those with the most fanatical following. You can try these bites via a food tour from Istanbul Eats (www.istanbuleats. com), which will give you an overview of how Istanbulites eat.

How w ould you describe the food scene there?

You will be spoiled for choice in Istanbul, especially when you start sampling regional Turkish cuisine. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much food and not enough time! I was there three times last year, and was not able to eat my way through my list. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong cafĂŠ and tea culture, and people enjoy dining out. They take full advantage of the Bosphorus view, and there are many rooftop bars and restaurants.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one foodrelated experience you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss out on?

Brunch! Try Van Khavalti Evi (www.facebook.com/ VanKahvalti), which serves up breakfast, Kurdish-style: kavut ZKHDW Ă&#x20AC;RXU ZLWK KRQH\ DQG walnuts), jaji (yogurt and cottagecheese spread), cheese (feta, herbed, braided), toasted gozleme FUHSHV ÂżOOHG ZLWK FKHHVH RU PHDW

kaymak (clotted cream), menemen (scrambled eggs with tomatoes or suçuk or sausage), butter, jams, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and bread.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best w ay to make the most out of a food trip to Istanbul?

Keep an open mind because 7XUNLVK FXLVLQH XVHV D ORW RI RĚ&#x2020;DO spices, and unfamiliar ingredients.

Also, Turkish vendors can be quite pushy. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be pressured into buying, especially in the Spice Bazaar, where Turkish Delight is sold by weight and not by pieceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;be careful with the nutty ones; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re much heavier! If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there with a tour group, opt to come back at a later time, preferably in the afternoon when the tours are done.

Did you know that Heineken, the second biggest beer company in the world, is Dutch? According to our Dutch friends, they drink even more than the Germans do! Plus, of course, a trip to Amsterdam is a must for cheese loversâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;cheese is what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re known for. Gouda, the traditional Dutch cheese, is a must-try. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see all kinds of cheese here, and there are so many museums dedicated to it. We went to two in Amsterdam alone and another two in Volendam. They have goat, sheep, pesto, chili, young, aged, smokedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you name it, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it!

A rich culinary legacy

y mom and I, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a tag team, a dynamic duo, partners-in-crime. Her friends used to call me her Xerox copy. My mom has been running The Plaza Catering, our family business, for as long as I can remember, and she single-handedly brought me up at the same time. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a single parent and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an only child, and it has always been just the two of us.

I was one of those kids who grew up in the kitchenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in my case, my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commissary. On the rare occasions that we would spend time in our home kitchen, we would bake Bruun Butter Cake and prune cakes.

Salmon TNT

A

nyone who knows Willy Trullas Moreno’s story will be impressed.

The jubilant chef makes frequent visits to Manila, and when you get the chance to see him, you’ll know immediately that he’s in charge. Not so much because he’s wearing the most flamboyant jacket in the kitchen (he has nearly every print known to man), but because his energy steals the show every time. Abroad, chef Willy had the difficult task of converting the Chinese—sticklers for tradition—into Spanish-food lovers. Now he owns several successful restaurants in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

But you’ll never know all this if he doesn’t approach you during your meal at Tomatito to make sure everything is okay and then eventually engage you in conversation. What you do know, however, is the food in front of you: a beautiful roll of salmon over a puffed up piece of pastry—you get the familiar flavor of fish, a light sweetness from the drizzling of honey then, suddenly, an explosion of heat.

There’s more than just Spanish food here. The tiradito, Peru’s take on ceviche, is bright and intense, designed to be eaten with the tangy sauce for maximum impact.

The mini hamburgers, though cooked Latinstyle according to the menu, are still pretty American in terms of appeal. And the seared foie gras on toast? There’s no need to explain where that dish came from. Carlos Franco, the Lou Diamond Phillips-lookalike head chef

Chef Willy Trullas Moreno

Ceviche de Atun

of Tomatito, is from Mexico and he brings the flavors of his homeland to the restaurant.

His croquettes, packed with Manchego cheese and chorizo, detonate into crunchy, spicy, cheesy goodness in your mouth.

You might not have known that chef Willy started serving his Spanish food with chopsticks, but you do know that he’s all about merging flavors, textures, and influences—all for the sake of coming up with something remarkable.

Tomatito is all about the details. From the indented trays that carry the cheese-stuffed air baguettes wrapped with paper-thin tenderloin steak, to chef Carlos’s playful dessert with Lego-shaped chocolate, to the flamenco fans that adorn the wallpaper, each element adds a richness to the entire dining experience. And as for the whimsical walls?

Well, that’s just chef Willy being fun (the interiors were designed by his brother Max).

You don’t need to meet the fun-loving chef to understand what Tomatito is all about.

This bright red, energetic spot with the loud flavors and vibrant profiles is all him.

FIRE AND SMOKE Holy Smokes serves up bold smokehouse classics with the flair and confidence of a seasoned Texas pit master.

REVIEW BY CHINO L. CRUZ

I

PHOTOGRAPHY: MIGUEL NACIANCENO. PICTORIAL DIRECTION: IDGE MENDIOLA.

f you’re being finicky, the interiors at Holy Smokes (the hot new spot to smoke meat in Makati) are a little on the nose.

The walls are plastered with posters of all things barbecue. The counter, where the food is served to you cafeteria-style, is decked with corrugated metal roofing. Above it is a flat screen showing an endless loop of clips featuring Aaron Franklin, the man who popularized Texas-style barbecue. Everything at Holy Smokes is all barbecue, all the time.

The thing is, if you love barbecue as much as the people behind Holy Smokes do, you wouldn’t change a single thing.

Co-owner and brisket mastermind Juano Gutierrez spent months learning everything he could about smoking meat. He built Holy Smokes’s impressive brick-red smoker from scratch, spent weeks testing dry-rub recipes, and even went to the US to taste as much authentic barbecue as he could. Everything he knows about barbecue, he learned through hours and hours of trial and error.

The food at Holy Smokes is testament enough to the long, slow burn that brought it to life.

The beef brisket is a thing of beauty, a spoontender, full-bodied slab of meat rich with the scent of coal and wood. It is the linchpin of their menu and is featured on a handful of other items like the mighty Manimal Sandwich (brisket and vinegary onions in a brioche bun) and a decidedly more American take on poutine.

Manimal Sandwich

It would be criminal, though, to mention only the brisket. The succulent smoked sausage drips with fat, smoke, and vinegar, and is best eaten with a side of tangy pickled onions. The pork ribs are just on the right side of tender and are the ideal vehicle for Holy Smokes’s three barbecue sauces (smoky, sweet, and spicy). The sides are tasty but not showy (think simple fresh green beans and egg-y corn pudding), unsurprising given how compelling the meat is.

From the very start, Holy Smokes has made it clear that it does one thing, and one thing only: barbecue. It is undeniably a space built from the ground up by people who want nothing else but to share the craft that they love. And sometimes, that’s all you need.

Brown butter is actually just good old butter with added depth, thanks to caramelization. It gets its brownness when the milk solids in melted butter begin to cook and brown over low heat. Unlike traditional butter, brown butter has a much deeper, almost nutty taste, hence its French name beurre noisette (hazelnut butter). You can use brown butter to make anything that requires regular butter, both in its melted and solid form. Try the Brown Butter Polvoron recipe over on the Yummy.ph YouTube channel!

Fresh shrimps and prawns are best cooked in clear soda. Bring soda to a boil, add lots of salt, then add the shrimps.

Once they change color, count to 10 and they’re good to go! Make sure to constantly toss them during cooking so that all the shrimps are cooked thoroughly.

A great sauce is essential for anything boiled.

Here’s the recipe for my favorite dipping sauce for boiled shrimps.

This also pairs well with the classic pinsec frito: Mix ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 2 tablespoons water, ¼ teaspoon yellow mustard, 2 teaspoons sugar, Ó Ìi>ë à w i Þ chopped shallots, and a bunch of fresh cilantro ­V ««i` w i Þ® a medium bowl.

This dessert uses only a handful of ingredients and is really easy to make! It takes less than an hour to prep, bake, and assemble this treat.

Here are a few tips to achieve brazo success: First, use fresh eggs at room temperature. Second, when whipping the whites, make sure the bowl and whisk are squeaky clean. This will help give the egg whites volume when whipped. Next, mix on medium speed. You will want to turn it up to high, but believe me, medium speed will give you the time to check if your eggs are already at the soft peak stage. :KHQ PDNLQJ WKH ÂżOOLQJ , OLNH WR add a little more butter than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s VSHFLÂżHG LQ WKLV UHFLSH WR PDNH it smell sweet and taste rich.

WHAT TO DO

1 Preheat oven to 350°F. 2 Grease and line a 16x24x1-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

3 In the bowl of an electric ÝiÀ wÌÌi` Ü Ì Ì i Ü Ã attachment, whip egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until frothy and starts to expand in volume.

4 Gradually add sugar. Whip until shiny, small bubbles appear, and soft peaks form.

Stir in vanilla.

5 Using an offset spatula, spread meringue evenly on the lined baking pan. Lightly run a cake decorating comb or a fork on the surface of the meringue to create a ridged pattern.

6 Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until set and top is golden brown.

7 Remove meringue from the oven. Dust the top generously with confectioners’ sugar. Run an offset spatula along the edge of the pan to loosen the meringue from the pan.

8 Cover top with parchment paper then cover with a baking sheet. Invert pan to transfer meringue to the lined baking sheet.

9 > i Ì i w }\ * >Vi i}} yolks in a double boiler and stir using a wire whisk. (Make sure that the bottom of the pan on top does not touch the liquid in the double boiler.

This will help prevent the eggs from heating up too quickly and turning into scrambled eggs.) Once warm and slightly thickened, add condensed milk and vanilla. Continue whisking gently until mixture thickens (like custard). Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time; stir until well incorporated.

Remove from heat.

ROLL WITH IT Everyone knows that pizza cutters are made for pizza, but not everyone knows that it’s an incredibly versatile kitchen tool! Its ergonomic handle and rolling blade actually make for easy handling and smooth, continuous slicing. Use it to cut fresh noodles, slice sandwiches into perfect triangles, and even cut up salad greens straight in your serving bowl.

SHIPSHAPE The pizza cutter’s round blade allows for great V ÌÀ > ` yÕ ` movement. Unlike the straight blade of a standard kitchen knife, a pizza cutter can easily turn and create freeform shapes both rounded and sharp, without making any jagged edges. With a pizza cutter, you can make custom cookie cutouts and piecrust decorations sans the fuss.

SAFE AND SOUND Starter cooks and young budding chefs who are unsure about using sharp knives can turn to the pizza cutter as a safer option. Some pizza cutter models come with soft, curved handles, blade guards, and special ceramic blades for a much safer slicing experience.

TERRIFIC TOOL PIZZA CUTTER

The trick to slicing perfect lines with a pizza cutter is using a ruler.

Rulers keep your lines straight and your pizza cutter in the right direction.

Make sure to buy a good quality pizza cutter with a sharp blade and a hefty handle. Dull, lightweight blades are harder to handle, making them more dangerous to use.

While it is possible to get your pizza cutter sharpened, the process isn’t practical.

As soon as the cutter’s blade dulls beyond repair, go get a new one!

Many people are asking for it. Even in the US, they saw that the product was interesting after we were featured on The Filipino Channel. It really has market potential,” says Abella.

“We are still working on commercializing it,” Vera Cruz says. “When we started this, it was for research purposes only. But as part of our consumer testing, [we found] that once people tasted it, they wanted more. There was word of mouth, especially through social media, and winning the award helped, too.”

The novel project won the Innovation Gold Award at the Salon International de L’Agroalimentaire ASEAN Manila last August, and as the winner, the ice cream has gone on tour throughout the world, winning over curious tasters in Paris, Canada, China, Indonesia, and the Middle East.
