Foodtrip Bedana's Filipino Restaurant

今晚和红鞋儿上完堂都已九时许，在佐敦一带揾食，发现有间小店，开到零晨四时？ 对，真系冇睇错，今时今日仲有通宵经营，真的不能不佩服，不能不去支持下⋯⋯酒吧格局，通常都系酒行先，食物是其次，这店又似乎唔系㖞！当晚9时许进场，还有三几枱客人，多数都系外籍人士，看见他们点嘅菜，卖相都唔错。这里除了啤酒外，还有多款corktail ，更有无酒精饮品。餐牌有很多碟头饭项目，很多款都系加顶帽，煎蛋未知系咪㶶边呢⋯⋯但宵夜时段，我们决定不吃饭了。餐牌简简单单，菲律宾菜式，所以大部分都是煎炸项目，图文并茂，冇乜idea 嘅我们，图片帮助不少。我们先来两杯生啤，配搭煎炸野相当不错⋯⋯Lumpiang Shanghai $78~春卷细细条，包著肉碎，及甘旬碎，衬啤酒一啖一条都几爽⋯⋯Deep Fired Tilapia $98~炸罗飞鱼，又一下酒菜⋯⋯Lechon Kawali$98~当晚笔者最爱这个烧肉，菲律宾版本，相当有特色，底味香浓，一层层的猪腩肉，肥嘟嘟得又爱又恨，红鞋儿话肥膏好肥呀！笔者答:餐牌标名pork belly ，肥得出色有道理。整体来说佐敦一带的菲律宾酒吧式餐馆，食物质素相当有惊喜，值得支持的一间小店。 继续阅读

路过这店几次，不是未开，便是我未够饿。今天原本专程去吃韩式任吃烤肉，可是看完任取的食物后，连食欲也灭了。走在午饭时候的佐敦，处处是人，是久违了的热闹，我们想吃的食店都有人龙，唯独这店在门外看祇有一对情侣在吃，也好，可以静静吃一场午饭。选择困难症发作好一会，才选定炸猪脚、烧鸡饭和啤酒。静静的喝着冰凉的啤酒，听着歌，耐心等候即做、逐份做的食物，先来的烧鸡，虽然是set lunch ($68)，但绝不求其，好一只大鸡脾，咬第一口已知非同向，鸡肉腌得入味，皮脆肉嫩鲜香，吃到尾还是每口都热辣辣，鸡脾是用心生烧(不是蒸熟再求其烧烧)，才有这效果，配煎蛋白饭和蒜香豉油，简单的滋味，in heaven!后来的、份量十足的炸猪脚 ($138)，果然是镇店之宝。坦白说，港式德国猪手，即使在餐厅吃，也是吃一百次，有一百零一次炒，死咸、硬、充满防腐剂 (因为用超市货色再加工）、贵，所以今次我也完全不抱期望。但是那盘炸猪脚刚送来，那肉香已令我改变决定，剥了一小片炸猪皮先试试，那不单是不得了的香脆，更是猪皮下的油脂也被炸得特级香糯，而且又完全干爽，一点油的踪影也没有，怕油如我，也即时完全放下防线，拿起整只猪脚吃，皮好味外，猪脚的筋骨也极香软，夹着骨与骨间的肉吃，喝口酒，是人间滋味！吃开了胃口，决定试试Banana roll，是薄pancake 包着香蕉，coat 了糖再煎，配雪糕和chocolate sauce，这样美味精致的甜品，祇是$38，What more do you want? 继续阅读

ok so, i came across this restaurant on the social media story of a mutual. in the story was a pandan-looking dessert, it looked so good that i dm-ed for the name of restaurant, turns out it's Bedana's! (this is beside the point, but can we normalise dm-ing social media mutuals on things like this already?? i mean, what happened to the days when we see someone holding a gorgeous bowl of soup and sauerkraut on the street, and you'd nonchalantly ask: "hey that looks gorgeous, where can i get that?" they'd say: "it's right here you idiot, but it's fine it's a valid question and you aren't making me feel unconfortable at all!" boom, what a normal interaction... is this a normal social media interaction? I DONT KNOW) so the name of the restaurant is acquired, i had to reach out to one of my favourite people to try it out (turns out they know of the place already, which was like: rude, you didn't care to bring me here before??). we got here on a really rainy sunday night and luckily got seated right away. it is a short menu, which is always a great sign. the friend suggested longanisa and laeng, i also picked the kare-kare, but honestly, i was preoccupied with the dessert that turned out to be mango pandan, and i was just sort of waiting for us to get to that part of the meal. the longanisa was served in about 5-8 mins, it was good food. the sausage had a good balance of sweetness and saltiness, it was meaty-chonky but the fat and spices were there- i couldn't tell what were the spices, but they cut through and it was real flavourful. the egg was also fried nicely with little craggily bits. rice? fine. slice of cucumber and tomat? thank you. then, the kare-kare and laeng arrived. you know how sometimes you look at certain food and despite haven't had it before, you'd think to yourself: i probably know what it tastes like? I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS GETTING INTO, which caught me, in the most pleasant way possible, very off-guard. i had a spoonful of the kare-kare. the first obvious note was the peanut, but there's also an immediate unidentified creaminess / sweetness / umami-ness that coated my mouth (note: i swear i could still taste the stew the day after when i was telling my colleague about this place, it was that crazy). i should at this point make the disclaimer that i don't know anything about filipino food, but i am almost certain what i was tasting was a really rich bone broth, and as my dear friend put it, the broth tasted like it took time. it also reminded me of instant noodles broth / tinned corned beef - the way they are PACKED full of flavour in an ethically-dubious / questionable production way, but also of fond childhood memories, eating a forbidden food; this kare-kare tasted like it took time and care, and painted a history that i would love to learn so much more about. the pak choi was a good move (and apparently is the traditional move). the tripe was great. the oxtail was y.u.m.m.y., i tore off the morsels of meat easily and slurped that bone marrow clean. aubnergine and green bean was so good too. in a way, the kare-kare over-shadowed the rest of the meal. i mean, don't get me wrong, the laeng was also a beautiful plate of food. it was creamy, to me it had an almost smoky quality to it? an incredible addition to the meal for sure. but i was at that point flabbergasted, a little bit like that shaking face emoji. the mango pandan got here and we also got a banana roll. the banana roll was top notch. the roll was thin and the caramelised sugar was delicate, combined with the sweet and tangy fruitiness from the banana and a little bit of the cold and creamy mouth-feel from the ice cream, makes for such a great combo. the mango pandan was also very nice, but it wasn't as mindblowing as the other foods, and i will just say that i don't think it really calls for the ice cream (or it could be a taro ice cream? i am guessing the restaurant didn't make their own, which is absolutely fine, but in this case i don't really need it, not shade). but i cannot complain at all. i LOVED the food here.i continued to rave about the food to my friend when i was having the leftovers the day after, and they were like: ugh, why don't you leave me alone and just write a page of this *somewhere else*. so here i am. would recommend. 继续阅读

Food is alright. Be aware of the misleading menu. Drink is not included if you order a la carte!! The menu is misleading and the waitress is dishonest. We clearly asked the waitress if drink is included if we order a la carte dishes and she said yes and $5 off for other drinks. At the end they charged us full price for the drinks. And she blamed us for not understanding. It ruined the whole experience. 继续阅读
