BUNLIKE ANY OTHER Juancho’s crispy chicken sandwich and egg sandwich with glazed onions
Whenever I travel to countries next to each other, one thing I notice is the heavy influence of the cuisine by each side. This is more evident at the borders and when these borders can be crossed by land. In the south of our country, for example, although separated from other parts by water, I didn’t know that our Muslim brothers had beef rendang in their cuisine. I always thought this popular dish was only found in our neighbors Indonesia and Malaysia. This discovery was revealed to me at a restaurant in Cagayan De Oro called Cusina Higala. Masarap! Among the best beef rendang I’ve had are at a Hongkong restaurant called Indonesia restaurant and from Chef Carlo Miguel of Boutique Burger Kitchen. The latter makes one of the most delicious Indonesian rendangs I have tried. Ask him.
