The Rock Sugar Honey Sauce Craze Comes to Brewer's Kitchen Cebu

Heavenly taste of rock sugar honey sauce

 All that glitters in Brewer's Kitchen is the result of that flavor sauce made of rock sugar honey. It's salty, sugary, and sticky combination is addicting.

 It's all the craze in the Philippine food scene and I got to sample dishes coated with this Chinese-cooking key ingredient when I got invited to Brewer's Kitchen by Brewery GastroPub. It's one of the restaurants that recently opened at City Times Square 2, Mandaue City. 

When I go to a pub, I gravitate towards more to the food than the beer. And if a place serves appetizing and tasty meals, I won't hesitate to spend time and money.

 Rock sugar honey sauce is more of a glaze rather than a marinade. You normally add this to have that zing to your dishes. It works well with grilled, fried, and roasted food. 

 If you want to have the full experience of this tantalizing glaze, order the Rack of Skewers which has lime chicken, Thai pork, grilled bratwurst and Hungarian sausage.

 Other noteworthy house specialities are the Spicy Buffalo Asian Chicken Wings and the Beer Can Chicken. I suspect, taste-wise, that these two were also drizzled with rock sugar honey sauce.

Beer, beer, and more beer

 Boasting of over 50 beer brands and flavors ranging from IPA to wheat to amber ale to blonde, you'll never run out of options when you're at Brewer's Kitchen. They even have draft red wine that looks pretty when being pulled from a tap. 

 If you're at a lost on what drink to order, I found a poster hanging on one of their walls that's a helpful guide on the different beer types that are available. It would be nice if they can print this out and make it part of their menu.

 Reading the labels is like taking a trip around the world. From Australia to Japan to Belguim to the Philippines, it's the United Nations of Beer. 





Putting the Gastro in the Pub

 I love going to gastropubs like Brewer's Kitchen because aside from the good selection of drinks, they also have mouth-watering food. It also doesn't hurt that they're creative when it comes to presenting their food. Whether it's a roasted chicken on top of a beer can or celery sticks in a miniature shopping cart, a good time could be had in this Cebuano gastropub.

Prosciutto Ham Flammkuchen

If you hadn't tried a hand-rolled pizza, they have this thin crust German-style pizza called flammkuchen. It's another great way of eating pizza.

Burger Sliders and Fries

Good quality beef patty and nicely-baked buns make Brewer's Kitchen's sliders a must-order when you're here. Goes well with any type of beer.

Mozzarella Bombs

You want to experience a cheese explosion in your mouth? Then you have to eat these little babies! I prefer eating them when they're still hot in order to get that sticky and gooey feel of the mozzarella.


Literally, the bomb! Melts in your mouth.

 Brewer's Kitchen by Brewery Gastropub is not your typical gastropub. You have to discover what lies underneath. 

 It is located at City Times Square 2, Tipolo, Mandaue City, Cebu.

18 'Beki' Words to Add to Your Vocabulary

Gambar
The Philippines is truly a diverse country. Aside from having thousands of islands, fifty different ways to cook adobo, we also have hundreds of languages and dialects. Filipinos are also innovative. One of the popular lingo or slang that came about during the 20th Century is known as Swardspeak or Beki. The Philippine Gay lingo is built upon words, expressions, and existing languages (local and foreign). It's full of allusion to popular culture, celebrities, places, and even events. Bekispeak is unique and shows Filipino ingenuity and adaptability to culture.  In honor of Pride Month, one LGBT Advocate came up with a compilation of Beki words to help those who would like to learn the lingo.  I'd like to thank my brother, Angelo, for coming up with this helpful collection. I've always wanted to learn a new language.  Let the Beksionary be your guide. Here are 18 Beki words to add to your growing vocabulary.  1. Chanda Romero = Tiyan 2. Ermingarde / Gardo Versoza = Gu...

21 Writers and Poets Who Died Tragically

Gambar
The tortured genius. The starving artist. The antisocial behavior. The free spirit. The wandering soul. The lost generation. When we hear or read these descriptions, who comes to mind? Our answers will all be the same --- the writer, the poet, the author. Literary artists who live by the power of their words; the might of their pen. But I'm not here to talk about the quirks of their behavior or the majesty of their talent rather the tragedy that befell these masters of the written word that silenced their emotions and souls. One of my favorite quotes from the campy movie, The Mummy, "Death is just a beginning" kept coming to mind when I was researching for this blog topic. Death did not diminish the popularity of these artists but rather enhanced it; out of curiosity, created new audiences to their writings.  Suicide, Accidents, Depression, Alcoholism, Debilitating illness, these seem to be great plot ideas for a novel. But the reality is stranger than fiction; the lives ...

Colon Street's Forgotten Heritage Markers

Gambar
C olon Street in Cebu City has the distinction of being known as the oldest street in the Philippines. Throughout its more than 400 years of existence, Colon has been the center of trade, fame, prominence and even notoriety. Colon Street Heritage Marker 2001 Named after the famed Genovese navigator and explorer, Cristobal Colon or Christopher Columbus, Colon street appeals to tourists and locals alike. Bargain shopping and deals abound the various establishments that surround the street. Its historical and commercial value cannot be surpassed. Similar to going to Quiapo or Divisoria or Recto, one has to be on high alert and aware of everything that's going on around you. It doesn't help that the years of neglect and the "I don't care" attitude added to the atmosphere of grittiness and griminess that exudes from Colon. Last Friday, I was doing research for an article I was planning to write about Colon when I came across a couple of posts pertaining to Heritage Ma...
