The Tatler Dining Guide Philippines
Romulo café
WHY GO
Travel down memory lane as you partake of a nostalgic feast that highlights heirloom dishes shared by diplomat Carlos P Romulo and his wife, Virginia. Every plateful here has been made with love and passed on through the generations.
TATLER TIPS
• Start with beef salpicao— sliced marinated beef sautéed in olive oil and garlic—that is a tad bit on the sweet side.
• Signature dishes such as Lola Virginia's chicken relleno or Tito Greg’s kare-kare are popular for a very good reason: each bite nostalgically reminds you of meals shared at home.
• The boneless crispy pata binagoongan is sinfully delicious, especially with steaming hot rice. The textures and flavours play in sinful harmony.
