#Chicharon Bulaklak

[beingjellybeans]

Toasting to Freedom and Flavor with Liberation Lager at Cafe Romulo

In the annals of Philippine history, the name Carlos P. Romulo is etched in golden letters. This journalist, diplomat, and the first Asian to serve as president of the UN General Assembly left an indelible mark on our nation. His legacy endures through the prestigious restaurant chain operated by his descendants, Romulo Café. But this isn’t your ordinary dining experience; it’s a culinary journey…

Leslie's

Crispy Pata (the best!!!)

Sizzling Bulalo

Not much of a foodie, but I try my best to explore new food when I go to different places. Leslie's is highly recommended. Food is good and serving is generous. Also, the view of Taal is amazing 🗻 will def go back!

[cheerstotheelites-if]

Oh oh! Do you know chicharon bulaklak? It's one of my fave!

I think I unknowingly summoned the Filipinos in my followers

But yes, I have eaten that before. I rarely eat chicharon now because of health reasons, and because my ma (a nurse) doesn't want me and my siblings to have the risk of heart problems due to high cholesterol. Which I find understandable.

[deyzalee]

Dear God,

Thankful and blessed today. I woke up at 10AM plus with the help of my alarm and Mama and Papa. I prepared myself for my flight going to Manila. I ate breakfast which is rice, dinuguan, chicharon bulaklak. I finalize my things in my luggage. We went to Memorial garden to visit Kuya RC and hid farewell again. We prayed for his soul. We pass by at Mercury drug to buy difflam. We arrived at the airport safely. I had an excess baggage for 1 kilos and so I payed. I waited for my flight and it was delayed. I ate chicharon bulaklak. I watched random videos. I scrolled my social media accounts, chatted my family and friends. I arrived safely at NAIA terminal 3. I waited for the car that I booked from my hotel. I arrived at the hotel safely. I had my self and skin care routine. I ate ampao, cassava cake, piatos for my snacks and dinner. I called Mama and talked to her and Jako. I fixed my things again. I drank my medicines. I read few pages of the Bible. Have mercy on us Oh God. Guide us always to the right path. Remove sickness, danger and negative things in our life. Answer our prayers in your perfect time. Thank you and I love you God.

22/2/2024 - Dinner

📍 Kuya's Kusinang Pinoy, Bugis

🥣 Bulalo ($17)

My dining partner had a tender piece but mine was kinda hard. Brought home the remaining and boiled it further so it became more tender. It's a nice beefy soup!

🐷🐽 Sizzling Sisig ($15)

A good sisig, served with egg. Make sure to stir it in once the dish comes.

🐷Chicharon Bulaklak ($10)

Deep fried pork ruffled fat (intestines?). It's so good! Super crispy and freaking sinful. Best to eat it hot as it became just a tad soggy when we finished our meal.

Was super full after the meal. We probably ordered enough for 2 with larger appetites or 3 normal peeps.

[rayniersantos]

Chicharon bulaklak is a Filipino dish made from deep-fried pork intestines. Its name, "bulaklak," translates to "flower" in Tagalog, referring to the appearance of the crispy and intricately curled pork intestines that resemble flowers after frying.

The exact origin of chicharon bulaklak isn't precisely documented, but it's deeply rooted in Filipino culinary tradition. The dish is believed to have originated from regional or provincial kitchens and has become a popular street food and beer match in the Philippines.

Preparation involves cleaning the pork intestines thoroughly, removing excess fat and membranes, and then boiling or simmering them until tender. Afterward, the intestines are deep-fried until they achieve a crispy texture.

Chicharon bulaklak is often seasoned with salt or other spices and served with a vinegar-based dipping sauce. It's a beloved dish in Filipino cuisine, enjoyed for its crunchy texture and rich flavor, often as a complement to other dishes or as a snack during gatherings or celebrations.

Spectrum in Fairmont Makati Returns with Upgraded Sunday's Best Brunch Buffet

After a brief one-month hiatus last September, Spectrum Restaurant in Raffles and Fairmont Makati has reopened with its newly-renovated dining space with a bright and vibrant ambiance. We had just come back last week from our European honeymoon but I could not wait to go back to our favorite luxury hotel to see what new promotions and offers they have for guests this holiday season.

Sunday’s Best at Spectrum is a vibrant Sunday brunch buffet featuring the best of Spectrum’s indulgent multi-cultural cuisine plus a dessert showcase highlighted by unlimited Carmen’s Best Artisanal Ice Cream, the country’s first super premium quality ice cream. This is available every Sunday from 12:00nn to 2:30pm for P3,200 nett per person. 

You can find Spectrum Restaurant at the lobby floor of Raffles and Fairmont Makati, two hotel brands that are really close to my heart (Read: Elegant Birthday Staycation at the Raffles Presidential Suite). Spectrum is back with its full buffet lineup of sumptuous main courses, offering a sumptuous array of gastronomic favorites from around the country and across the globe, cooked to perfection in interactive culinary theaters.

The newly renovated Spectrum now comes with brand new floors and tiles to match the elegant dining environment. Sundays are definitely the best time to visit Spectrum because their brunch buffet comes with all my favorite dishes and desserts.

My friend Joey Silvestre also came to have lunch with us together with our host Mike Sagaran of Raffles and Fairmont Makati. The Sunday Brunch also comes with unlimited chilled juices and mocktails, as well as one round of alcoholic beverages. Of course, we started with glasses of their Red and White Sangria.

For appetizers and starters, the bread station offers a variety of freshly baked breads to choose from.

Right beside it is the charcuterie station with its assortment of hams and cheeses. These include Black Forest Ham, salami, Emmental cheese, camembert, brie, and more.

There’s so much to explore at Spectrum’s Sunday’s Best. The Chinese Station comes with dimsum items like Xiaolongbao together with Yang Chow fried rice, stir fried mixed noodles, and other familiar dishes.

There's also the Japanese Station with its colorful display of sushi, maki and rolls. Make sure to get some delicious tuna and salmon sashimi here.

I love eating tempura so I also got a few pieces of their shrimp tempura which you can find beside the takoyaki balls.

Shawarma is also available and you can ask the servers to slice and prepare a fresh wrap for you.

The Fresh Seafood Station is really enticing. There’s fresh mussels, scallops, crabs, shrimp, and clams on ice that you can enjoy.

You can get a plateful of fresh seafood and bring it to the cooking stations to have them grilled or prepared with garlic and butter. There’s also an option to have your mussels and scallops baked with lots of cheese.

The Roasting Station has this sumptuous display of Peking duck, roast pork, and soy chicken welcoming all the guests. These are all freshly prepared so you can have your peking duck slices served with hoisin sauce.

We both really missed Filipino food since we were away in Europe for about a month, so we were excited to visit the Filipino station. Here we found the Paella Valenciana and the Sisig Paella which were both so delicious. Pair these with the inihaw na bangus and other Filipino dishes on the table for a complete fiesta.

They also had these crispy Chicharon Bulaklak which are really tempting but have to be eaten in moderation.

But the main event at the Filipino station is always the Lechon. This is what we really missed and we were so happy to feast on the crispy lechon skin and meat topped with lots of lechon sauce.

That's not all, because another juicy centerpiece at Sunday’s Best at Spectrum is this Beef Carving Ribeye Steak that will surely satisfy any hungry carnivore. I asked the server to sear a few slices of steak for me.

Add some side dishes like carrots, roasted potatoes, tomatoes to complete your steak plate. There’s also some red wine sauce to put on your beef. I actually went back for a second serving of this juicy steak.

After that exquisite adventure around the buffet stations, it’s now time for dessert! Sunday’s Best at Spectrum features a colorful array of sweets and treats for everyone. There’s a dark and white chocolate fountain where you can dip your fruits and candies. You can also find a lot of cakes, pastries, chocolate mousse, creme brûlée, crepes, and more.

Another highlight of the Sunday brunch is that they have partnered with Carmen’s Best to let guests have all the premium artisanal ice cream that they want!

This is not just your ordinary ice cream because Carmen’s Best is undoubtedly one of the best premium ice cream brands in the country. You can choose from among the various flavors available like Salted Caramel, Cheese, Brazilian Coffee, Rocky Road, and others. No other hotel buffet can boast of having this kind of ice cream on their menu, and it’s all unlimited.

But wait, there's more! There's a new Teppan Ice Cream station where you can customize your own ice cream flavors. Just choose which ingredients you want to include in your ice cream and the chef will create and prepare it right before your eyes.

I chose and named this Triple Berry Teppan Ice Cream myself which consists of strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry then topped with strawberry sauce. It was so good!

Sunday’s Best at Spectrum is available every Sunday for P3,200 nett per person. If you happen to be an Accor Plus member, you can even get up to 50% off on your buffet! Reserve your tables now at https://bit.ly/BookSpectrum and experience this luxury Sunday brunch for yourselves.

Dear God,

Thankful and blessed today. I woke up late because its my day off. I cooked fried tofu for my baon tomorrow, I will just continue it early in the morning because its sisig tofu. While cooking, I called Mama, Papa and Jako via google meet. We talked a lot. I also scrolled my social media accounts, chatted my family and friends. I ordered Chicharon bulaklak and I ate a lot. Its 1 kg but the dip is not good for me. But U was full after and I drank Pepsi diet and Camomile tea. I prepared myself for workout and I ended my video call. I did 30 minutes indoor bicycle and 500 jumping rope. I was watching Dirty Linen and listening to random music. I had my self and skin care routine. I prepared myself for 1 hour duty. I read few pages of the Bible. I arrived at Saif’s house safely. I cared and monitored my patient with the help of you Oh God and Ate Carmen. We had chit chats with Ate Carmen. She offered me food and I didn’t eat because I am full already. 1 hour ended and I arrived home safely. I had my self and skin care routine. I drank my medicines. Have mercy on us Oh God. Guide us always to the right path. Remove sickness, danger and negative things in our life. Answer our prayers in your perfect time. Thank you and I love you God.
