About the trend
If you’re yet to establish your love of local, it’s time to start building relationships with the farmers and growers near you. Combining two or more traditional components using local ingredients is a great way to create something new that looks refreshing on a plate.
"I was inspired by using batuan
as a delightful twist on a traditional Bacolod dish. It's a local souring agent that can be used to cook the meat and transform the typically soupy dish into a crispy delight. The same stock is used as a sauce, adding an interesting layer of flavor."
Chef Pipo Aluning - Senior Sous Chef, UFS Philippines
