We were able to join two out of four food tour slots: Food Photography with Mylene Chung and Healthy Eats with Denise Celdran
Food Photography with Mylene Chung
We opted for this schedule because we have high regards for Mylene Chung of Pepper.ph. We figured among the expert guests, she would be the one with the best picks. Like all BGC Eats Food Tour, the main guide is still JJ Yulo.
1st Stop: Orale!
Orale! was undergoing renovation so we were just given packed tacos.
2nd Stop: Sarsa
Most of our time was spent in Sarsa. I've heard a lot of buzz around Sarsa so I'm glad this was chosen. Each dish served is to be divided among 6 BGC Eats Food Tourist.
Crispy Panara Rolls |
Crispy Dilis |
Liempo-Q |
Inasal Tofu |
We hardly rode the bus because the next 2 stops were also in Forum South Global where Sarsa is also located. Tipple & Slaw looks like a bar. For each 4-5 seater table, we shared one dish. Everyone enjoyed all the dishes and drinks served.
Salmon and Dill |
Chicken Nuggets |
Poutine |
House Blend Iced Tea |
We all had high hopes and expectations from Marmalade Kitchen because of the great interiors of the place. Sad to say, not one of the treats served was able to meet our expectations.
This is the first time I've seen so many cookies that tasted similarly sugar and flour.
I liked this the most although a bit sweet.
Healthy Eats with Denise Celdran
I enjoyed the Healthy Eats better than the first. It's technically not healthy but they do give healthy or at least healthier tips along the way. Plus, it had 5 stops instead of the normal 4.
1st Stop: Salo
Salo offers very affordable meals. It is located where Shawarma Guy used to be. One dish is shared by 4-5 persons.
Kamote Chips |
Adobong Kangkong |
Tokwa't Baboy |
Tuyosilog |
Everyone enjoyed Soy Yummy. We all had a cup of our chosen flavor. It's my first time to try it. It's so delicious!
3rd Stop: Suzhou
Our most fulfilling stop is Suzhou! We were served so many delicious dishes that it was us who surrendered.
Sour and Hot Soup |
Scallion Pancake |
Fried Noodles |
Kuchay Dumplings |
Salt and Pepper Tofu |
Fortune Cookie |
Phat Pho complied with the healthiness. It was also delicious. I'll be back for their phos and banh mi.
Chicken Satay and Rice Paper Rolls Chilled Shrimp |
Calamansi |
Crisp on the 28th is another restaurant from Erwann Heussaff... This just opened a few weeks ago so we're really to have one of the first dibs on it. Everything was so good albeit pricey-looking. We were all so full at this point. But, the food was irresistible so we all tried it but were no longer able to finish them all.
Overall, I really enjoyed BGC Eats Food Tour 2014! I can't wait for next year.
