Getting in on the Secret: Pinoy Eats World

Getting in on the Secret: Pinoy Eats World

We do love those dinners out. I mean this is Manila, right? If we happen to have rubbed elbows while on a food trip through Greenbelt or Fort or wherever the hottest new place is, it wouldn’t surprise me at all.

But sometimes, it pays to steer clear of the usual routine. Which is exactly what I did last week when I decided to invade Manila’s underground world of secret suppers. Ok, maybe secret is too strong a word. I’ve heard enough about Pinoy Eats World and their mysterious guerrilla dinners to know that I wanted to try the experience.

And it really is one :)   PEW’s business is pretty much turning your 7-course meal into a major production. The dinner I was invited to was certainly no exception.

Check out The menu conceptualized in honor of dinner host, Meralco.

Meralco's Pinoy Eats World menu

This kind of humor basically sets the tone for the entire evening.

Ready to serve?  Here we go!

The spread includes surprise favorites and some very memorable mashed potatoes. (Hover over each photo for one-line reviews).

The Caesar Salad – named for the secret Pinoy ingredient used in it

Seared tuna with ginger cream – A nice new way of eating sashimi:)

Cauliflower soup! Loved it on my first try.

Everyone was a fan of the chicken wings with cilantro.

Eat all you can, naturally.

Prawns in basil – YUMMY!

The Meral-Cow – Kiyama beef, get it?

I would’ve been equally happy just eating mashed potatoes the whole night. I loved them that much.

That’s candied bacon on my chocolate mousse, y’all!

Free-flowing drinks…

A couple of contests to amuse a group already entertained…

Induction cookers were given by Meralco

Two lucky people at guessing games actually came home with induction cookers!

Plus the requisite appearance of a beauty queen to make things more interesting.

Shamcey Supsup was there to eat, but more importantly to carry out her official duties as a Meralco Ambassador of Light for its bright ideas campaign.

I don’t think I’ve had a dinner as interesting as this one in a long time. Big thanks to Meralco for the invite, and for collaborating with PEW to create such a fun get-together. My first one, by the way, that’s allowed me to meet a whole bunch of other bloggers that do the same things we do at LMT:)
