Sya na, ganire ang FoodPrints sa Batangas with Sandy Daza, la-ang! The aroma of Liberica kapeng barako opens up the senses to new twists on time-honored Filipino cooking (for non-Batangueños at least).
No dummy at balisong knife tricks, Chef Sandy, in this FoodPrints food adventure, gets reacquainted with his roots. Sharpening his audacious taste buds, he meets up with insiders and makes way though the dynamic Lipa Night Market and other relevant destinations for the classic must-trys in this fertile province south of Manila.
Historic Taal, notable for tawilis and maliputo is a story all its own. Likewise with panaderias brimming with tiping, londres, pianono and bonete (perfect with chami or pansit lang-lang). And what’s a Pinoy food trip sans kakanin? Like an empty Batangas beef bone.
Ala eh, a foodie paradise!
Travel with Chef Sandy, tune in to FoodPrints on the Lifestyle Network (Channel 52 on SkyCable) every Saturday at 8:30 PM.
