Asian Flavours Restaurant in
Lima Park Batangas has celebrated it's 2nd Anniversary and like last year the theme for the showcased lunch was Filipino Cuisines. But, it wasn't just your ordinary Filipino cooking because they wanted to share the joy in eating the traditional way. It is the way most of our lola's used to cook and that's cooking through the traditional clay palayok.
Clay pot cooking has 2 major advantages:
1. It tenderizes the meat but helps keep its moist and juicy texture.
2. Cooking in clay pots does not use oil. Thus, making your food have lower fat content.
Chef Paul Poblador, a graduate of California Culinary Academy is the head of Asian Flavours. The menu for this event wasn't just to showcase the traditional way of cooking, Chef Poblador also wanted to show the beauty of Batangas through the menu and its ingredients since all the ingredients are from Batangas. The price for the buffet is 299 per head. That is already quite a bargain especially since they're using organic vegetables.
Asian Flavours palayok festival's menu features:
Ensalada Filipina (made of eggplant, labanos, okra, tomatoes, onion and bagoong alamang),
Nilagang Tadyang ng Bakang Batangas,
Kare-kareng Buntot,
Calderetang Laguna,
Ginataang Manok sa Dilaw,
Hinornong Isda and
Arroz Valenciana. For those with a sweet tooth, there's also
Turones de Lakatan and
Minatamis na Saging sa Hielo. For an additional 50 php, you can also avail their
