Chef JP Anglo hangs his apron to chat for a while. JP was only 16 when he was sent as an exchange student in the Unites States, but he would never have thought that his stay would foreshadow his future career as a chef. “One morning I cooked Pinoy style corned beef, with sautĂŠed onions, garlic, and tomatoes. When my foster family tried our version of corned beef, my foster mom at that time said: JP why don’t you go to cooking school?â€? With his foster mom’s encouragement lingering in his mind thereafter, JP decided to enroll in a cooking school six years later. The rest of his journey is as we see it today. Best known as the mastermind behind the successful Sarsa Kitchen, famous for its Sizzling Kansi, Sarsa Kare-Kare, and other Negrense fare, it’s no surprise that JP’s specialty lies in Filipino recipes. Sarsa Kitchen is located in Bonifacio Global City, about 20-30 minutes away from the highly anticipated district, Arca South in Taguig City. But you’ll ďŹ nd that this chef can still surprise you with his culinary background on Chinese cuisine, as his uncle and aunt were very good Chinese cooks. “The inuence was there at an early age. I love eating Chinese and I think that is my biggest strength.â€?Â

! !

Ă‹ Ă‹ Ă‹ B

His surprises don’t stop there, JP also happens to have a particular taste in home decors. He prefers to keep his personal sanctuary reective of Japanese contemporary interiors, with a touch of Filipino elements. As a host, JP never fails to make his guests comfortable. He has a cozy couch to offer in his living room, where he usually unwinds while watching basketball on TV. But when asked about the favorite part of his home, he is enthusiastic to share, “Of course the kitchen!â€? Count on JP to cook a delicious meal for you inside his prized culinary space. “Usually, I’ll slow cook a hearty beef stew with whatever red wine we are drinking. It’s great when you have guests over because everyone can just hang around the kitchen while I cook.â€?

However, no one is luckier than his family, especially during Christmas when he cooks Diwal Pancit. “Diwal is abundant in Visayas. When in season, my dad would always bring some home. I guess they like it because it’s a familiar taste and cooked using a Chinese technique.â€? Indeed, whether in his restaurants or in his home, there is no doubt that you’ll ďŹ nd JP’s cooking hearty and warm. Don’t wait another moment, go and try his cooking yourself.

A taste of home Do you remember the big picture windows at Shakey’s? My brothers and I would step up to the platform, stick our little noses on the glass (never mind if it wasn’t exactly sanitary), and watch intently as the pizzaiolo endlessly tossed and twirled pizza dough, brushed it with deep red tomato sauce, covered it with a Ì V L > iÌ v à Ài``i` V iiÃi] > ` w > Þ Ã ` Ì Ì Ì i Ì oven. We watched him do it over and over again, and we would never get tired of it; it was quite the show! With the restaurant’s trademark yellow styrofoam hats on our heads, we would then make our way back to our parents and feast on glorious, gooey thin-crust pies. Up to now, pizza always reminds me of those family meals. I remember them vividly like it was yesterday. That’s the power of food; it’s one of the few things that can bring you back in time, take you to another place, reunite you with people you miss dearly and make you feel fuzzy inside. That’s what comfort food is all about and, this month, we devote our issue to it. 7i½Ûi } Ì > Ì V ] yÕvvÞ] «i> ÕÌ LÕÌÌiÀ `À ââ i` Ài V Ì >ÃÌ > ` Ì iÀ `i } ÌvÕ LÀi> v>ÃÌ ÌÀi>ÌÃ] > >} wVi Ì `>À V V >Ìi cake from editorial assistant Chino Cruz on page 62, and food director Rachelle Santos’s really stretchy grilled cheese sandwich on page 11. Assistant editor Idge Mendiola also picked out indulgent ingredients (think butter, cheese, potatoes, corn, and eggs with runny yolks), and created a roundup of recipes that you’ll want to tuck into. And of course, we have pizza. We show you how easy it is to make at home—all it requires is a handful of ingredients and a little bit of patience. We hope you like what we’ve put together this August. We like to think that the food is belly-busting, soul-satisfying, and ultimately, heartwarming. Dig in.

With these hacks, you can still enjoy soul- and bellysatisfying pasta dishes—even if you’re watching your calories or switching to a low-carb diet!

KEEP IT AL DENTE Cooking noodles for too long changes their carbohydrate structure, raising their Glycemic Index levels, reports Utah’s Department of Health. So remember to V ½i > `i Ìip À wÀ Ì Ì i L Ìip based on package directions. LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVES Swap the usual white pasta noodles for their healthier counterparts. The whole-wheat version, in particular, is a } ` à ÕÀVi v à ÕL i wLiÀ > ` >à more vitamin E, B6, magnesium, zinc, and potassium than regular pasta. Scour the grocery or health-food store aisles for other good-for-you options like brown-rice pasta, whole-grain pasta, shirataki noodles, and malunggay pasta. SWITCH THE PROPORTION You can put pasta back on your plate— just remember to put more of the sauce than the noodles. “Flip the traditional ratio of noodles to sauce so the pasta’s still integral to the meal, just not the focus,” writes food journalist Mark Bittman. “Whether the sauce highlights vegetables, cheese, seafood, or meat, it’s almost invariably the best part of the dish anyway.”

BET ON BASIL This herb can reduce the stress hormone cortisol which signals the body to store fat, says The Journal of Natural Products. Log on to Yummy.ph for the recipe for Low-fat Pesto Sauce. GO WITH A SIMPLE SAUCE Pile your low-carb pasta with vegetables and an easy sauce. Try this: ->ÕÌj Ó >À}i à ­V ««i` w i Þ® 3 tablespoons olive oil. Cover and cook over low heat until onions are tender, about 15 minutes. Increase heat to medium and brown onions. Add ½ cup inexpensive dry white wine and reduce to a dense sauce. TOP WITH FETA Black olives and feta make for a classic pasta sauce. Now here’s one more reason to top your noodles with the soft cheese: a study by Curtin University ƂÕÃÌÀ> > >à v Õ ` Ì >Ì wÛi ÃiÀÛ }à of dairy a week helps in fat loss. SUB WITH VEGETABLES Try this vegetarian trick: Make “pasta noodles” out of veggies. Use a spiral vegetable cutter or a spiralizer to turn carrots, zucchini, squash, and cucumber into carb-free vessels for your sauce.

Opposite: Pia’s black-and-white kitchen reveals her penchant for D-I-Y projects. Old bottles with painted-over stripes sit atop the range hood. She also painted black swirls over the Formica surface of her cabinets. Pia created the black cloth trim for the back of her dining chairs. Above: Charming themed vignettes can be found around Pia's home.

Her craft projects are fairly simple. The set of framed dried leaves, which cost her only 25 pesos, involved just a few steps. Pia simply picked a couple of uniquely shaped leaves and placed them in between the glass and the paper backing of the frames. She advises against using glue which causes ripples and bumps on the leaves’ surface. “I also framed the leaves while they were still green so they wouldn’t crumble,” she shares. Pia is especially proud of her latest D-I-Y makeover—the decorative paint job for her kitchen cabinets. The Formica was starting to peel off, so she thought of reattaching some parts using glue and painting over the areas where the surface was totally chipped off. With quick-drying enamel purchased from the hardware, Pia then painted the swirls over the surface. “It’s quite easy to paint over Formica. When the enamel would drip or when I would make a mistake, I simply wiped the enamel off with a rag soaked in thinner,” she explains. It also didn’t cost much. “I actually spent less than 100 pesos for the glue and the paint,” Pia says, “and it took me just two afternoons to w Ã Ì i «À iVÌ°» Pia was also very pleased with the outcome; the kitchen now looks very relaxing, she says. “But the best part was when I heard my husband say, ’ang galing ah’ several times. Sulit ’yong back pain,” she laughs.

Above: The black swirls serve to hide the damaged parts of Pia’s cabinets, while adding a touch of whimsy. Frames are also some of Pia’s favorite decorative hacks. Apart from family photos (seen on the wall beside the dining table), leaves placed between the glass and paper backing of simple frames liven up the space.

I always have a good variety stashed away in my pantry. Aside from serving as a base for many delicious meals, they are also quick to prepare, making them a true staple. This dish is inspired by my family’s love IRU $VLDQ ÀDYRUV , IRXQG WKH UHFLSH IRU WKH beef online, tweaked it to our taste, and paired it with noodles. You can be sure that anything made with soy sauce will be met with much enthusiasm at our home. This recipe has that familiar blend of savory, sweet, and sour that is typical of Asian dishes—it always keeps us coming back for more. When you prepare this dish, remember not to overcrowd your pan so you get a nice sear on the meat. Work in batches if necessary. Also, take care not to overcook the beef or it will become tough. ,œYH VSHFL¿HG HJJ QRRGOHV IRU WKLV UHFLSH but you can play around with other Asian noodles, too.

As a vegan, I had not had tapa for years, and had only realized how much I missed it when I made this recipe. With their chewy texture, oyster mushrooms are the perfect meatfree substitutes to beef slices. The sugar caramelizes a bit when the mushrooms are cooked, adding to the dish’s complexity. I love to top my mushroom tapa with even more fried garlic bits and eat it with garlic brown rice. Try it the next time you crave tapa!

ainy days are here and a warm bowl of noodle soup is perfect for dinner after a long day at ZRUN ,WÂśV FRPIRUWLQJ ÂżOOLQJ DQG universally loved. The current restaurant scene offers several options like Japanese ramen, Vietnamese pho, and Chinese noodles. Some Chinese restaurants also serve laksa, the Singaporean favorite (it’s my personal favorite, too!). Not many places in Manila serve curried soups, whether Singaporean-, Japanese-, or Thai-inspired. So why not make a business out of this hearty bowl? During a recent visit to Hokkaido, I found many curry-soup shops offering a wide DUUD\ RI Ă€DYRUV ,WÂśV WKH VDPH LQ 7KDLODQG² curried noodle soups topped with different ingredients are very popular. This recipe is my take on the bowl. You can play around with it by adding toppings like fresh bean sprouts, peanuts, and lots of fresh herbs. You can also experiment with a different soup base and it instantly becomes another variant you can add to your menu roster. This dish will be a hit!

MEAT AND FLAVOR Kick of a night about town with tasty bites and meaty eats at Pampas Latino Bistro & Bar. REVIEW BY ANDREA Y. SEE

N PHOTOGRAPHY: ALDWIN ASPILLERA. PICTORIAL DIRECTION: RACHELLE SANTOS.

amed after the fertile South American lowlands, Pampas is a months-old addition to Uptown Parade in Bonifacio Global City. Here, it seems that pleasure lies in simple things done well, in both space and food. Lush wooden counters, cushioned chairs, and warm yellow drop lights imbue the restaurant with a touch of cozy, earthy luxury; it’s a welcoming backdrop for the flavorful South American tapas and meat offerings that their menu highlights. We like the idea of the fresh-appetizer trolley, a thoughtful display of readyto-serve starters that are perfect for ravenous diners still perusing the menu. The Beef Tacos come three to an order—small, crispy taco shells filled with seasoned ground beef and salsa. The sweet-and-salty play of the Plantains and Jamon did not come through (dry bananas and not much ham), but the fresh and warm goodness of the meaty Empanadas more than made up for it. We suggest a glass of wine to go with the off-the-menu appetizers at Pampas, as their tapas showcase the kitchen’s ability to make uncomplicated plates with confidence. The Chipotle Meatballs are a study of texture and bold flavor,

T

he exposed brick and bulbs hanging casually overhead might give off an industrial vibe, but Alley is more about home than it lets on. This little restaurant at The Grove is manned by the young and ambitious Thirdy Dolatre, and although it’s easier to live off having his cooking labeled as “comfort food,” he would rather his kitchen be known for the freshly cooked ingredients that make up the eclectic menu. Starters are fun and mostly rich—freshly popped Chicharones and creamy Queso de Bola Beignets will surely grab your attention. By contrast, the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad is light, with sweet bursts of dried cranberries providing contrast to the acidity of the dressing. The pastas—also made in-house—are studies in complex flavors. The Black Vongole (squid-ink pasta tossed in clam sauce) is a clear winner. Their Carbonara benefits from crisp pancetta and the creaminess of a poached egg; if only it had more fresh pasta to soak it all up. But no worries; there are

with daubs of the house sauce further kicking things up a notch. The Crab Cakes were deliciously hot, well seasoned, and chock-full of sweet crab meat. The best part of our already good meal was the meat course. The Beef Falda and Lamb Ribs came recommended by our server, and rightly so. Both the slowroasted U.S. beef short plate and the seared-on-the-grill lamb ribs were cooked perfectly: so tender and bursting with flavor that we forgot about the sauces they came with. Alfajores, the South American confection of shortbread cookies filled with dulce de leche and topped with powdered sugar, ended the night on a sweet note. We were the only customers on the weeknight we visited, and could only imagine the buzzing energy of Friday and Saturday evenings when nighttime revelers would fill up the restaurant for pre-party bites. At Pampas, any night of the week is sure to become a good time.

many hearty mains to choose from. Pork-lovers will relish every bite of the crispy pork belly given a Mediterranean twist with the addition of tomato orzo and minty gremolata. The best value comes from the Beefsteak Rice: a heaping bowl of the starchy staple, calamansi-marinated beef, crisp onion rings, and a poached egg. The clear choice for lunch at Alley is one of their sandwiches. They bake their own breads, something the light and spritely Caprese (made with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella, accented by feta and a balsamic syrup) clearly benefits from. A heartier option is the Firebird, a spicy chicken burger which gets its heat from homemade pickled peppers. Thanks to its young regulars, Alley is now open until late. The bar serves well-priced cocktails that do not scrimp on ingredients.

Both the Old-fashioned and the Mule are sublime concoctions. The latter is mixed with Alley’s homemade ginger ale, quite a treat on its own. To accompany the craft drinks, go for the addictive Garlic Parmesan Fries and the hot and tasty Chorizo Pamplona and Peppers. The dessert lineup is limited, but is by no means an afterthought. Opt for the goodies from their oven. You will be bowled over by the Dark Chocolate Crème Brûlée—the combination of flavors is well rounded and luxurious. The Financiers are best eaten warm and topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Alley’s commitment to freshly made food comes at a price—the kitchen has a tendency to take its time with certain dishes. However, the restaurant always makes sure that patience is greatly rewarded.

loving crowd: regional Chinese fare and a focus on healthier techniques. It would be a crime to leave without trying any of their shrimp dishes, whether it’s the Stir-fried Crystal Prawns (paired with broccoli, this offering shows off the freshness of the seafood) or the Three-flavored Prawns (three pairs each swathed in one of the blueberry, mayonnaise, and salted egg sauces—the latter is tops). Lung Hin also shows mad skills when it comes to salted egg via the lip-smacking scallops enrobed in a rich batter then deep-fried. You cannot fault Lung Hin’s obvious preference for only the best ingredients. Even tofu is dressed to irresistible levels. Crispy fried bean-curd rolls stuffed with leeks could give your regular pork-filled ones a run for their money. The salad, with fried tofu cubes, is packed with flavor and texture. There’s much to love in the fried seafood station, but even the meaty options, like the Deep-fried Spareribs, are a glorious triumph—the little splash of black vinegar provides a salty tartness that makes the dish unforgettable. There are many ways to end a meal at Lung Hin, but none will leave an impression quite like the Chilled Avocado Sago. It’s light but indulgent at the same time; each spoonful feels like cool, velvety panna cotta in the mouth. Lung Hin does a lot of things to stand out, but realizing that their flavors are all they really need is more than enough.

Y

ou can’t toss candied walnuts with fried shrimp then pass it off as Chinese food—at least not in the Philippines, where the flavors of China are practically our second cuisine. There’s a reason Chinese restaurants give you a sense of déjà vu. You don’t mess with what works. When Marco Polo Manila’s signature Lung Hin restaurant first opened in 2014, it nearly teetered over to showy gimmickry. For example, the speck of gold leaf on the hakao—which seems excessive even for the restaurant’s exquisite 44th-floor setting—doesn’t contribute to the dumplings’ flavor. Crowd- and camera-friendly, it steered diners away from the simpler items, like the braised pork noodles, which, by the way, is exceptional. The gilded shrimp dumpling is still on the menu but Ken Leung, Lung Hin’s new executive chef, would much rather expand the restaurant’s culinary range. The new Lung Hin doesn’t stray too far from expectations, but it introduces something new to the Chinese food-

You’ll be greeted by a perfectly cooked, wonderfully warm meal as soon as you get home!

VERSATILE VIRTUOSO While slow cookers are most often used to cook soups and stews, resourceful home cooks have found other recipes you can make with this great gadget. Slow cookers can now be used to cook all sorts of dishes, ranging from the standard beef stew and chicken cacciatore to the more surprising slow-cooked pineapple upside down cake and baked potatoes.

Cheesy chowder You can make a mean bowl of chowder—even without the clams. Make a cheesy, potatopacked alternative by sautéing onions, garlic, and celery in a pot before stirring in all-purpose cream, chicken stock, diced potatoes, and a pinch of paprika. Simmer until potatoes are tender, then add generous shavings of your favorite salty cheese.

Seasoned to perfection Why not season your dishes with cheese to make them even richer and tastier? Hearty stews like kaldereta and beef ragu in particular can get a lot out of a grating of sharp cheese. Just add a healthy dose of cheddar or Parmesan at the end of the stewing process and you’re good to go!

Her eyes sparkle, her voice becomes animated, and she leans forward Ì Ì> Ü Ì Ü iÛiÀ >à à iÀ >L ÕÌ y ÕÀ] about baking, about the processes and ingredients that go into this staple. For someone so obsessed with bread though, she admittedly started baking relatively late, sometime in her 20s—starting LÞ Ãi } LÀ Ü iÃ Ì vwVi >Ìià >Ì Ì i corporate job she was in for eight years. (The early signs were there, though: As a child, Gretchen would read baking books; “They were my bedtime stories,” she says.) From that simple beginning, she and her siblings spun out a small biscotti business, and from there, she expanded her range of baked goods. / `>Þ] ̽à > vÕ yi`}i` LÃiÃà ° ƂvÌiÀ « V } Õ« , V >À` iÀÌ i̽à `iw Ì Ûi L Dough, she never looked back.

There is a honeysweetened loaf; a tangy sourdough that takes all of three days to make; alongside bonete, bunuelos, and pandesal; and a host of other delights. To the uninitiated, it can be a revelation: that bread can be so delicious, and so varied, on its own.

There’s only the tiniest of pauses. “With bread, it’s really organic,” she says. “And by ‘organic,’ I mean it has a life of its own; it’s alive.”
