Islands Philippines : Culinary Adventures - MANILA INTERCON STREET STYLE

MANILA INTERCON STREET STYLE

Balut… chicharon… taho? Oh my—! Did your mom let you eat those classic street foods? The ones sold of by the vendor yelling his goods from down the street? From the creative kitchens of Intercontinental Manila Hotel comes the delectable buffet line at the hotel’s garden restaurant, Sol y Sombra, inspired by our local street delicacies. For just Php650, you can gorge yourself on all manner of local food finds like the icky yet irresistible balut (hard boiled duck egg with fetus), delicious penoy (hard boiled duck egg without fetus), sweet corn on the cob, and chicharon (crispy pork rinds). But that’s not all. Freshly fried fish, squid, and kikiam balls (seafood meat) on the stick, calamares (squid coated with batter), lumpia (Filipino fresh rolls) and tokwa’t baboy are just some of the many treats you can come back to, again and again. There are also the luscious tropical fruit coolers, from fresh buko juice, melon, avocado and the special dirty ice cream for those hot summer days. And to complete this Filipino food tripping, enjoy eating and relaxing under the nipa huts by the side of the pool. Unforgettable street delicacies that you’ve craved since childhood – maybe your mom will even treat you there!
