Locavore At Eastwood City
It was called Gising Gising, which when translated in English, would be 'wake up, wake up'. It was served on a small pan with the waiter making sure that no one would touch the hot edges. There were winged beans, ground meat, green onions, chili pepper and coconut milk. It tasted so good that I had another spoonful of it at once.
Next was Sizzling na Sinigang. The meat was tender. It was like the usual sinigang, except that, instead of sour broth, sour gravy was poured into it. Then the combined Sizzling Oyster and Sizzling Lechon were served. This was followed by Ginataang Kalabasa. They all were flavorful. The last two were Crispy Pata and Fried Chicken.
Locavore at Eastwood is now the talk of the town. With its main outlet starting at Kapitolyo in Pasig, Locavore serves traditional Filipino dishes but the preparation and presentation of these dishes spell the difference. Locavore has its own way of appealing to the taste buds of diners.
On our way out, my granddaughter nudged me and asked: "What does Locavore mean?" She was expecting that I knew the answer, as always. But this time, I was stumbling over my words. It was like I was caught flat footed. Suddenly, my youngest son Albert butted in: "Locavore is someone who eats food that is made locally." Whew, that was timely. That was close. It was as if I was saved by the bell !!
