Makansutra Disappointment...

Save to del.icio.us | Digg This | Email this post

I was super excited to try Makansutra Asian Food Village at the 2nd Floor of Manila Ocean Park. Ever since our family's Singapore food trip (see: Singapore Makan Food Trip - My Top 10 Favorites! and Singapore Makan Food that did not make the cut) , I am craving for authentic Makan cuisine here in Manila.

I have very high expectations because the food stall is owned and managed by KF Seetoh, the author and founder of the Singapore food bible - Makansutra. I must admit OAP was inspired by it.

I was disappointed. First, I failed to meet KF Seetoh by a few days and the Singapore Chefs when they opened Makansutra. Second, the food tasted like another pinoy version of Makan dishes because of the all-pinoy chef crew. None of the 38 pinoy crew "had ever been to nor eaten anything from Singapore and Malaysia".

Having said that, the Makansutra Asian Food Village is worth to try because 7 out of the my Top 10 Makan Favorites are available and the hawker-style food court concept is something unique in Manila.

Wagyu Stone Grill... yummy...

Have you noticed that there are a lot of steak places around lately?

There's this craving for great steaks, and Wagyu Stone Grill in Eastwood Mall offers a very interesting and yummy concept. It serves Wagyu Steaks raw, placing them on top of a hot stone grill, and letting the meat cook right in front of you. You can choose from New York Strip, Top Sirloin or Rib Eye cut for your Wagyu (which is available in 220g and 350g).

The Wagyu Stone Grill steaks are recommended if you can withstand the smoky smell on your clothes afterwards and if you can be patient with the service.
