This is it, I shall now talk about food :) :) :)
And what better way to kick things off other than a review of the first Celebrity Chef restaurant here in Manila: Todd English Food Hall.
I really like this restaurant because it has a wide range of cuisine. From dumplings to tacos to paella to sushi, they all have it here.
 |
| Tuna Tartar - marinated sushi grade tuna, crispy marmalade shrimp finished with scallion cream |
The shrimp doesn't seem to be crispy, although it was tender. The tuna is very fresh, and the cucumber wrap just cools down your tongue after getting a kick of heat from the sauce.
 |
| Brooklyn Style Spaghetti Polpetini |
Freshly made pasta! The sauce is seasoned beautifully, and the meatballs taste great!
 |
| T.E. Two Way Duck - Home made duck leg confit, sousvide duck breast, sweet potato puree, pickled red cabbage, duck demi & french beans |
I personally prefer the confit over the sousvide. And the sweet potato puree has good taste and texture.
 |
| T.E. Pork Chop - 2 day brained double boned chops served with wilted greens & potato gratin & demi-glaze sauce. |
This thing is huge! Despite the size, the meat is still tender. Order this cause it's definitely worth your money.
 |
| T.E. Clam Bake - fresh clams & mussels in saffron broth with corn, potato and crusty bread. |
I'm not much of a clam guy but I like the clean taste of the broth. However, the true star of this dish is the corn cobb! Hahaha! It is sweet and very juicy, I enjoyed munching on it.
 |
| Crab fried rice (bottom part of the picture) |
This is just okay, I had better crab fried rice before. I ended up squeezing way more lemon on it, just so it would have some flavor.
 |
| O.M.G. Cake (sorry for the terrible photo) |
This is crazy, unbelievably good! I love it when my dessert is a combination of warm and cold components. This is probably the only item in their dessert menu that matters.
 |
| House wine |
I forgot to ask our server the specifics of this wine. The house red has bold taste, and is affordable!
 |
| Meet my partners-in-pigging out. |
