Bistro Filipino - Proudly Filipino

The intimate lunch with Chefs Roland and Jackie Laudico of Bistro Filipino gave me a renewed respect for the local cuisine that most Filipinos have taken for granted. Initially, it could be intimidating to enter this elegant dining area but once inside, I immediately felt at home seeing the meticulous table settings  and perfect  lightings  that set the mood for a classy and yet relax atmosphere.. I particularly like the glass/transparent serving plates they use. Chef   Jackie proudly shared that these plates were made by Bobby Castillo. 

Bistro Filipino proudly use local produce and none of the shortcuts most restaurants have resorted to.   There is definitely no talk of fusion in this restaurant as every dish is distinctly and proudly Filipino 

Trio of Appetizers: Starting with Ubod Lumpia. Freshly chopped vegetables are nestled in a cone-shaped wrapper which is itself a conversation piece.  The froze vinegar, which I so like, is perfect for the lumpia.

Kilawin Carpaccio - sashimi grade tuna with calamansi emulsion drizzled with virgin coconut oil.

Grilled Kitayama Wagyu Tenderloin in Bistek Onion sauce served with blue cheese, sweet potato puree and organic vegetables. Kitayama Wagyu is proudly Pinoy from Bukidnon.
