KBL and Pinoy regional dishes at Salu
Salu, The Filipino Kitchen, recently opened its doors. “Salu is a Filipino culinary authority,” says executive chef Janjie Ocoma. “We try to explore, experiment and make sure to serve plates that can’t be labeled anything other than ‘ tunay na Pinoy.’ We honor originality and give tribute to the story of each dish because that’s what makes it unique, that’s what makes it really Filipino.” Some of their famous regional cuisines include Insarabasab and Hardinera ni Quezon for Luzon; balbacua and KBL ( kadios, baboy, langka) for the Visayas; and tiyual itum, a signature black soup and beef kulma for Mindanao. Bestsellers include binagoongang lechon kare-kare and pinalutong na sisig hito. Some of the intriguing creations also include Salu Salad and pakbet soup. Desserts include brazo de kalabasa and Salu’s molten lava cake. Salu, The Filipino Kitchen, is located at 26B Sct. Fernandez Cor. Sct. Torillo, Bgy. Sacred Heart, Quezon City.
