32. LARTIZAN

LARTIZAN is the artisanal French Bakery, Restaurant, and Tea Salon of the French Baker founder, Johnlu Koa.

It started as a boulangerie in partnership with Mickey’s Delicatessen along Jupiter Street. Now, it has transformed into a French Cafe, with authentic French pastries and baked products, and a European cafe ambiance.

I love their signature teas from Mariage Frères in Paris.

We had the pleasure of dining with Johnlu recently and coming up with recommendations on having an awesome dining or tea time experience at Lartizan…

I had a lunch date with the wifey at Bistro du Vin, and here’s what we think of it…

The Aguirre Food Street has already helped launch resto superstars in 2013 like SENSEI SUSHI by Chef Bruce “Broosy” Ricketts and has led the trend in Cupcake Cafes with Larcy’s Cupcakery Cafe.

The Girl + The Bull is another noteworthy resto on Aguirre and is proof that 21-year olds can rock the resto scene with a comfort food concept that every foodie raves about. This is how real passion tastes on your plate.

36. OSAKA OHSHO

OSAKA OHSHO is a Japanese chain established in 1969. They have branches in Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Korea and now in the Philippines, courtesy of the Relish-Group, known for bringing in the Wee Nam Kee franchise to Manila.

I like how the Manila restaurant scene is shifting towards specializing. Most restaurants now are known for that one dish or a certain specialty cuisine.

So how does the #1 Gyoza in the World taste like? Here’s our Osaka Ohsho experience…

37. KYOCHON

KYOCHON, which started the double-fried chicken craze in South Korea in 1991, is finally in the Philippines! But Filipinos are not that familiar with the brand despite its #1 double-fried chicken status in Korea.

(For reference, BonChon was founded in 2002 but they are more popular because they were first to enter New York in 2007, while KyoChon entered Manhattan only in 2010. Similarly, BonChon had a head start in Manila in 2010.)

The double-fried chicken technique was invented to remove the fatty oils from the chicken and still make the skin crunchy and flavorful. KyoChon takes pride in the fact that their chicken has no glacial acetic acid, sodium saccharine, and MSG. They also use canola oil with zero transfat to fry their chicken. 🙂

LINGUINI FINI by Chef Vinny is an Italian-American Restaurant based in Hong Kong but with a New York attitude. They specialize in fine pasta, which they make from scratch, and are advocates of Nose to Tail cooking and the Farm to Fork philosophy.

Thanks to the Moment Group, this Italian bistro is now in Manila! 🙂

In this list, I had only tried The Girl + The Bull about 2 weeks ago. We ordered the wild arugula, roasted pork, the burger, the chicken, bibimbap and the twix. It was the bibimbap which I loved most.
They had just renovated. They dont serve rice except for the bibimbap. It’s just a little bit pricey. We had a reservation of 630pm. Since the place is small, once other guests arrived……..you will have no choice but to live.
