MM, I think Reyes barbecue is the same as Serye’s. You can find one at Eastwood and also at Quezon Memorial Circle.

I know of two Heaven’s BBQ outlets: one near the old Toyota showroom on the corner of Buendia and that street that leads towards Zuellig (Mayupas? M something, sorry). It’s the street that all the cars make a U-turn to enter Salcedo Village, since you can’t make a left turn on Buendia). The other outlet is on Ortigas Avenue in Greenhills, Madison Square I think.

MM- you have to add Hotstix on Quezon Ave. to that list. My friend Ian (who also makes Sebastian’s Ice Cream in Alabang Town Center) has the best pork skewer bbq I’ve ever tried.

Remember MM that I posted before pa how over-rated Ineng’s is now? Actually, hindi na rin mahaba ang linya sa Ineng’s — at least, not in Salcedo and in Market Market. To me talaga, Heaven’s BBQ is what works now – and even Reyes Barbecue!

Ineng’s tastes like boiled tocino that was skewered and brushed with sweet sauce at the last minute. Seeing Tita Cely this Wed. I’ll tell her to be ready for ya! :)

Btw– LOVE how you plated the food.

I think they still have customer recall, had some inengs a few months ago in eastwood. Wasn’t the same anymore as the original one in marketmarket. quality control is really suffering, i guess due to the big demand.

Gonzo, you are so right, I meant siling mahaba or pangsigang…it was late last night…I also forgot the links that I will put in now…thanks! Oh, and yes, I have found jalapeno chillies a few times in Manila. Zacky’s seems to package and sell them (I presume they grow them too). If I haven’t put a post I’ll try to dig out a photo if I have one… Connie, I like the green bean addition to give it more substance… Hmmm, if Ineng’s is now so universally mediocre, why is it still drawing the crowds?!

I find Ineng’s bbq cloyingly sweet; maybe some fresh-cracked black pepper to balance the sweetness… and don’t you mean siling ‘pangsigang’, not labuyo, MM?

btw, does anyone know of any farms growing local jalapeno chiles? More vegetal flavour, more taste, and thicker, more ‘capsicum-like’ skins than our two traditional chiles (labuyo and sigang).
