Philippines is a gastronomic haven filled with distinctive flavors of wilderness. Her passion for food has been perpetually shown by an array of cultures confecting one local culinary tradition.

And since her archipelago lies on the wild bed of Pacific—prominently served as route for early colonizers—her culture became diversed. The rich history seemed to fuel up wilderness as the country grow with intact connection to Western culture. As a testament,  Spanish delights such as nachos and paella have ubiquitously seen over Filipino food map  nowadays. 

If you are a person having a big heart for steak and nachos, but still in search for the best, you might like to visit Fiery Style Restaurant. It is one of the latest cantinas to pop up, serving a full flavour fiesta to Mexican-food-craving locals in the Metro.

Braced with owner's commendation, a plate carrying Fiery Nachos slid on our table. The stainless pot positioned upside down gave us an awkward approach. Seconds passed, they removed the pot to reveal a dramatic kaleidoscope of chips, jalapenos and meat. Definitely a composure-breaking moment! 

Our tastebuds got to tingling with the chips and salsa. The tasty corn chips were crispy and perfectly salted, proving to be the perfect vessel for the fresh meat and veggies.

Long overshadowed by siege and stories of terrorism, Basilan has now started to outrun barriers from what seemed a collision between fear and prolific tense brought by the media. Even the most hardened travelers have to admit a certain amount of fear while traveling this isolated area of Mindanao. Well, unbeknownst to many, Basilan is never that overly haunting place. This can be justified by ubiquitous presence of Philippine Army who has been fortifying security in all barangays. Ruled by Gov. Hadjiman, Basilan is now deemed as peaceful place where splendid sceneries allure many thrill-seeking souls.

Misteryum Brings Affordable yet Delicious Food Since 2015         I grew up eating a lot of Chinese food since my parents love it too so I have grown accustomed to dishes like Chow Mein, Wanton Noodle and the dumplings I actually crave for a lot but usually dishes like these are quite expensive and usually the cheaper counterpart is not really at par to ones I had as a child but luckily I was able to stumble upon a place that offer affordable Chinese cuisine in San Juan CIty! Misteryum has been established since 2015 and it has been serving affordable Chinese cuisine ever since. One of the things they do offer is that although their food is affordable it doesn’t skip on the taste and authenticity of food similar to the ones in Hongkong since the father of the owner has passed the recipes he had cooked back in Hongkong.
