00:00 This 2023, we launched our new series, Flavor Profiles.
00:04 A show exploring dishes and the philosophies of the chefs creating them.
00:08 I am Miguel Escueta PH, and here are some of the highlights from our new series this year.
00:12 Cabel is a restaurant that specializes in Tausug food, but serves dishes from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:19 Located right by Malacanang Palace, the seat of power, it represents Filipino heritage well.
00:24 From popular classics like Sisig, to regional favorites like the Chula Iton, this is a good place to go to if you want a tour of the Philippines on your plates.
00:32 Known for its cool weather and proximity to Metro Manila, Tagaytay is a popular destination amongst vacationers and foodies alike.
00:44 Often, what they look for in a location other than the food is hanging out somewhere where you can take in the wonderful views of Tadalake.
00:50 Rosario's offers both.
00:54 With its open layout and classy vibe, it's perfect for an out-of-town date place,
00:58 or for a family gathering where you can enjoy the food and experience everything that people love about Tagaytay.
01:03 Within the bustling city of Metro Manila, there's never a lack of one of the most popular foods known to man, pizza.
01:17 To stand out in this space is not something easy to do, but something Crosta Pizzeria'd as well.
01:22 With critically acclaimed chef Yuichi Ito at the helm, Crosta provides artisan pizza like no other.
01:27 You have your choice of regular toppings and some experimental ones as well.
01:31 Definitely something to try on your next dine-out or your next night in.
01:35 Heritage houses are homes owned and preserved for several generations as part of the Philippine culture.
01:44 Sometimes we see these homes repurposed into museums or restaurants.
01:48 And that's the case with the famous La Peral White House.
01:52 A staple in Baguio's landmarks, the La Peral White House is an old house-turned-museum and now restaurant.
01:59 You can enjoy a well-made meal while taking in the old-school architecture of the 1930s.
02:13 One of my personal favorite cuisines is Mexican food.
02:15 It's simple in concept, but when well done, can really elevate itself without being too pretentious.
02:20 I enjoy finding new places to try and when I heard about Los Tacos, I was excited.
02:25 It takes the familiar flavors of Mexican food and gives it a home-cooked feel.
02:30 I absolutely loved their birria and the fun did not stop there.
02:40 These are just some of the stops we visited this 2023.
