I'm not a huge offal fan. After my recent gout attack, I have good reason to avoid it. Today, I saw some kapura and brains at Lulu supermarket. Kapura is lamb's balls. And I don't mean meatballs. I makes me squirm involuntarily when I think about cutting through testicles. I had brain before in Jerusalem. It was cooked in a chardonnay sauce and breaded. I liked it.
I had to do a double-take after seeing this restaurant sign - Manila Royal Rajasthan. Thought perhaps it was one of those oddball fusion cuisine places. Authentic Rajasthani food is difficult to find even in this country that has 2 million Indians. Intrigued by the unlikely fusion of Filipino and Rajasthani cuisines. Nope. It's a regular Filipino restaurant.
Apparently, Tim Ho Wan has one Michelin star. Came across their branch in Makati. Ordered pork buns, fried tofu and some shrimp. Nothing fancy. But pretty good. Reminded me of Din Tai Fung, another dim sum place with a Michelin star. The food scene in Manila is getting really interesting.
