点评:Being a Filipino myself, I saw this as a missed wasted opportunity to put our cuisine on the map. I am embarrassed to know that this was conceptualized and created by Pinoys . Fusion deconstructed meals should enhance not diminish the flavors. The two main dishes we tried were deconstructed sinigang which claimed the novelty of using short ribs and Kare kare using lechon belly. Neither of these dishes worked. Both were devoid of flavors and richness associated with these dishes. The sour broth of the sinigang had the sourness without the depth as if watered down to extend the servings. The kare kare lacked the umami richness of the meat that supposedly is braised with it. The appetizers we tried were as uninspired. Laing ( taro leaves suffused with coconut milk and spices) wasted by the unimaginative pairing of corn chips. Ube (Filipino purple yam) bun sliders that did not complement nor enhance the pair of fillings they used. The only saving grace was the calamansi juice. Oh wait. That came from a can.
翻译:作为一名菲律宾人,我认为这是一个错失的浪费机会,让我们的美食闻名于世。我很尴尬地知道这是由 Pinoys 概念化和创造的。融合解构膳食应该增强而不是削弱风味。我们尝试的两道主菜是解构的sinigang和Kare kare,前者声称使用小排骨很新颖,后者使用烤乳猪肚。这些菜都不起作用。两者都缺乏与这些菜肴相关的风味和丰富性。四宫格的酸汤酸味十足,没有深度,就像是为了延长份量而被浇了水一样。卡雷卡雷缺乏据说用它炖的肉的鲜味。我们尝试的开胃菜同样平淡无奇。玉米片的缺乏想象力的搭配浪费了Laing(芋头叶,里面充满了椰奶和香料)。宇部(菲律宾紫山药)小圆面包滑块既不能补充也不能增强他们使用的一对馅料。唯一的优点是柑橘汁。等一下。那是从一个罐头里拿出来的。
