Thank you Anthony Bourdain finally you made an episode for the Philippines and I’m exceptionally ecstatic they showed Cebu my hometown. The show hit the right notes, all the food was authentic Filipino dishes which I dearly miss a lot…the lechon, seaweed salad, kinilaw (ceviche), green mango…should I go on. Anthony Bourdain was right Cebu have the best lechon in the whole wide world. I got his blog to prove that. I just wish they are going to do another episode because there are still a lot food to be discoverd and show the world the Filipino cuisine.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing this. I’ve lived in Cebu while I was in medical school. I did not realize you were Filipino.

@Karina: Thank you for your comment. I was really glad too that they made a show about the Philippines. Filipinos are passionate and good cooks but have been under estimated. Most people only know their home cooking but never in a main stream gourmet cooking. I was hoping I could share it and give my own flare and mix it w/other cuisines too. Cooking is like traveling through your kitchen…I love it. Daghang Salamat!
Thank you for posting this! I’m a filipino foodie with no cable TV. I heard about it, but obviously didn’t have the chance to enjoy it until now.
@jaynepomuceno: No problem! I was ecstatic that they made an episode about the Philippines but I hope there will be a part 2 because that was just a highlight. Philippines has a lot to offer and foods to discover.
He missed the fruits.. the best in the whole world..
