Anthony Bourdain's 13 Places to Eat Before You Die

I am a BIG fan of Anthony Bourdain.  Have I told you that?  But lately I haven't been watching his show - No Reservations - as our TV is always on Playhouse Disney.

Even if the Philippines episode in his latest season is not yet shown here in South East Asia, I have already seen it.  And absolutely love it.

I follow his blog, and a fan of No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain in Facebook.  The latest post in FB is a link of his article for Men's Health - Anthony Bourdain's 13 Places to Eat Before You Die.  I still haven't been in any of those places. But I am glad that one of them is just here in Singapore.  As for the others, I will keep them in my list.  =)

Here is the list (courtesy of Slashfood.com):

1. St. John (London)

2. elBulli (Girona, Spain)

3. The French Laundry (Napa Valley, Calif.)

4. Per Se (New York)

Magandang Huwebes sa inyong lahat!!

Para sa akin, medyo senti ang tema ngayong linggo. Sa mahigit 10 taon naming magkasama na aking mahal na asawa, mahirap maghanap ng naaakmang larawan na maibabahagi sa linggong ito.

Habang naghahalungkat sa baul ng aming mga larawan, natisod ko ang mga ito. Noong unang taon ng aming kasal, tina-try naming mag-celebrate buwan-buwan ng aming month-sary. Kahit simpleng dinner lang sa restaurant ay sapat na para ipagdiwang ang mahalagang araw ng buwan. Hay... napakasarap mag-reminisce.

Pangarap kong maging ganyan ulit kapayat.
At parangarap ko ring mabalikan ang mga restaurant na yan sa Japan...

Anthony Bourdain - Philippines

I'm a big fan of Anthony Bourdain. And I cannot wait for his Philippine episode in No Reservations. I wonder what he will eat. Will he be given exotic food? Or just the same old sisig, lechon, adobo. I heard before that Juday was with him when he went to Cafe Ysabelle. Haven't seen Juday yet on a foodie show. I'm sure she'll be ok coz she's a chef too.

Will make a blog review after I've seen the show. But this Manila Walk is a little lame. He should have researched more on the more appropriate English terms of our street foods. Like taho = soy bean curd and calamansi = small lime. But I should not expect that much from him coz he's more of a tour guide than a foodie.
