A dinner of "favoreats" at Bourbon Street

Nothing's left when you've fully enjoyed what you ordered and ate. Even in a classy bar and restaurant, everything's licked clean to fully illustrate sarap to the bones. Never mind if poise is momentarily forgotten nor the stares from other diners - lol. Together with two friends, we invaded Bourbon Street at the Red Square in "Smallville" last weekend. It was a get together planned just the night before - almost impromptu given the circumstances. The two being first timers, I sort of had the upper hand in our orders.

For starters we had their Bistro Salad - a combination of fruits and vegetables. Lettuce, apples, grapes, oranges, candied walnuts and feta cheese with honey balsamic vinaigrette. It was a fresh welcome for the eats to come.

Then there's their Buffalo Wings. Ever since it's reinvention and my rediscovery, it has become a staple order. Perfectly fried chicken portions with their hot and spicy sauce - not only a perfect appetizer but also a filling side order.

Another good order is Snapper Florentine. Fried snapper in shellfish and vegetable cream sauce. I just love the taste of the Florentine sauce together with the snapper. Just the right seasoning and side dishes. But it's presentation that time was nothing compared to the one we had months ago - actually it lacked presentation. Good thing it still tasted the same and well complemented our other orders.

And finally it won't be a complete Bourbon experience if our lot did not include their specialty- Bourbon BBQ Ribs! A half slab quickly disappeared as we enjoyed the tenderly cooked and well seasoned pork ribs. We almost had an extra rib from the usual 4-rib half slab. Though there were some portions that were a bit salty than the others but were still (very) good. In fact as I always say, I can finish this (half order) all by myself.

Satisfied with our dinner we planned on going back soon - if our schedules permit. And I'm sure one or two of our orders during this dinner will certainly be part of it. Wanna bet?

K.B.L. or Kadyos, Baboy, Langka is the ultimate favorite dish of most Ilonggos.

Kadyos : The Ilonggos' signature beans

Now where do I start? I think I have enough feature on kadyos (and KBL ) that I find having a new post ... redundant. But there are times I can’t resist taking a photo and making another blog post. Like this instance, I chanced upon kadyos being “plucked” from its pod. Never got this one before so it would seem a good photo op. But now I’ve got one what’s next? Of course the perennial kadyos cuisine – KBL . Kadyos, baboy, langka is an Ilonggo favorite, no doubt about it. The beans being endemic almost in the region makes gives it (and the dish) a sense of popularity and a following. Ilonggos away from home often crave for the dish and it’s often one of the first they request when finally back home. The common yet special dish usually consists of broiled pork leg boiled until tender with kadyos beans, jackfruit and some greens. Batwan , another almost endemic fruit to the region, gives the broth a distinct sourness very different from others li...
