Hidden gems are my weakness and Charlie Wanton Special in Mandaluyong hit the spot. From the noodles to everything else in the menu, it’s worth trying and you won't be disappointed. I came hungry, queued up because there were a lot of people, but I left happy. Definitely not my last visit because there's so much more that I want to try. #ChefTatung #FoodieFun #charliewanton
Joined @haydolfoodtrip for a serious Cebuano Foodtrip at Parr’t Ebelle Tinola and wow, panalong panalo ang kanilang mga pagkain! Tinolang Ulo ng Talakitok, Tuna Kinilaw, Pork Sinugba etc. Lutong bahay na simple but straightforward! Sarap so real, naparami kain namin here. Salamat sa pagsama sa amin dito Haydol! #ChefTatung #HaydolFoodtrip #LamiKaayo #ParrtEbelle #cebueats
Dropped by Rosario Pamanang Panlasa in Tagaytay and wow, what a treat! The food hit all the right notes, nostalgic, comforting, and full of heart. It felt like a warm hug from your lola, if your lola cooked like a kitchen goddess with a view. Tagaytay’s breeze + heirloom flavors = perfect combo. This place isn’t just serving food, it’s serving memories. Definitely not my last visit. #ChefTatung #FoodieFun #RosarioTagaytay
Since I was already in Taboan Market, I had to get puto maya. It’s been some time since I last had this and it was such a treat! One bite of that sticky rice with sikwate and suddenly I’m back in my childhood. A lot of memories popped up in my mind and it gave me a lot of joy. #PutoMayaMoments #ChefTatungInCebu #TaboanMarketEats #TasteOfHome
Tried the new Biscoff collection from 7-Eleven and I was ready to judge, but I ended up enjoying 2 out of 3 only because the 3rd one ghosted me at the store. Not mad naman, maybe next time mahanap and matry ko na sya. Seriously though, if you're a Biscoff fan like me, you’ll want to try these while they last. Just hope you have better luck finding the full trio. My verdict? I enjoyed the 2 that I tried, watch the video until the end to see my full comments. #ChefTatung #Foodieafun #Biscoff #7eleven
I really missed the flavours of Cebu kaya I craved nilarang and tinutungan and had it at Esmen Carenderia! The eel was so flavorful, and that porcupine fish? Wildly good! It’s these kinds of humble, soulful dishes that remind me why I fell in love with Filipino cuisine in the first place. Grabe, sulit ang every bite! Was also nice to be accompanied by my idol @haydolsteve #ChefTatung #HiddenGems #CebuEats #FoodieFun
When the team’s been hustling hard all week, you surprise them with fried chicken straight from the heart. Nothing says I appreciate you like crispy skin and juicy bites. Office lunch? More like love on a plate. Thanks for the help Maggi! #ChefTatung #FoodieFun #LunchBreak
Dropped by Parilla in QC just to try their Chicken Inasal but ended up practically ordering other things that piqued our interest. The grilled dishes? On point. The vibe? Chill and unpretentious, just how I like it. Didn’t expect to eat much, but hey, when the food’s that good, who’s counting? Definitely worth the trip. #ChefTatung #FoodieFun #Parilla
Had a fun day seeing how puso is made. Then we had tuslob buwa after and wow. One dip palang nagustuhan na agad namin. Who knew brain sauce could be this addictive diba? #ChefTatung #PusoAtTuslobBuwa #foodiefun
Went to Francesco’s in San Juan thinking I was just grabbing lunch... left questioning all my life choices for not coming here sooner. Every bite hit the spot, soulful, honest Italian food done right. Definitely one for the books and the belly. Grazie mille for the experience! #ChefTatung #FoodieFun #FrancescosSanJuan #HiddenGems #italiandoneright
Cebu will always have my heart and my appetite! Took a quick stroll through a Food Alley in Mactan Newtown and, of course, couldn’t resist the crispy lechon and all the street food they're offering there. Nothing fancy, just real food, real flavours that are true to their origin. Walang kaarte arte pero masarap! #ChefTatung #FoodieFun #LechonLover #StreetFood
Our Cebu trip wouldn't be legit kung walang stopover sa Taboan Market! Mangamoy na, basta masaya! Worth it para sa paborito kong dried fish at squid pasalubong. Sorry sa mga nakaamoy sa amin pagbalik ng hotel, kasi the smell follows you around talaga. #pasalubongpamore #TaboanMarket #cheftatung
Nothing hits the spot like a hot bowl of lugaw on a busy afternoon. I’ve eaten in countless kitchens, but there’s something about this simple street-side comfort that just always gets me. Lasang bahay, lasang alaala. Minsan, the best meals aren’t plated fancy, they’re served with heart, right on the sidewalk. #ChefTatung #FoodieFun #Lugaw
Wasn’t really planning on doing a cake review but a good friend gave me a pasalubong, cakes from Coffeebreak Iloilo. Tried a few slices and let’s just say I didn’t stop at one. Want to know my full review of it? Watch the video til the end! #ChefTatung #CoffeebreakIloilo #Cakes #foodiefun
Who knew a burger steak and a slice of chocolate cake could take me straight back to my childhood? One bite at Orange Brutus in Mactan Alfresco and I was a kid again, lining up for comfort food with my baon money. Some flavors don’t just satisfy, they take you back in time. I really enjoyed it. #ChefTatung #CebuClassic #orangebrutus
