As for kohlrabi, it’s harder to find, but weekend markets/organic growers sometimes have it.

I also put grapes on my Duck Red Curry..the thai chef who taught me to do it said that it makes the meat tender and takes out the “umay”.

Sarie, I am not certain, but my first reaction would have been batuan fruit inside their lechon, therefore, possibly batuan leaves. But intellectually, I would have to guess these are what Cebuanos call “bago” leaves, see this post here, that come from the tree that bear fruit to a nut made into famous Indonesian crackers, here. The bago leaves impart a slightly sour flavor and would make an interesting stuffing. The bago leaves are not that common in Manila markets. If I may comment, however, on that particular lechon your photographed, it does appear to have a fairly copious layer of fat under the skin and it is likely brushed with soy sauce or other sugared liquid to get it so burnished dark caramel, which can sometimes border on a bit of bitterness on the taste buds, possibly counterbalanced by the notes of sourness in the stuffing… I hope that helped. They are definitely NOT dayap leaves — I grow dayap and unless you have some giant dayap leaf variety, those are not dayap leaves. :) thea, have to look up a recipe, the cook does this by feel now… greens blossoms, the napkins are by Frette. Gigi several of the dishes in this post were featured on the site before, please check the archives… adam, no I haven’t tried a thai winged bean salad, and I agree with you, I have always wondered what to do with that vegetable other than enjoy them in a pinoy torta (sliced thinly and sauteed, then incorporated into a giant omelette)…

I am also curious what people who follow your blog globally would have and possibly make for their last meal.

Hey, La Emp…how about in one of the future happenings, let us make this come to a reality…not the end of the world….but the dish that people coming over would like to eat if the world will end the next day! …and let us make a potluck out of it. However, I think having Zubuchon might be out of reach! I know that Mr. C would like his spicy Dungeness crabs!

I saw your post on Bacolod lechon (https://www.marketmanila.com/archives/a-bacolod-lechon) and was wondering if you could help me out with this. I just got back from Bacolod and had some lechon in Silay and was hoping you could identify the leaf they used here as stuffing.

Photos are in this link: https://sariecruz.wordpress.com/2011/10/20/nothing-quite-like-negros-lechon-bacolod/

Can you confirm if these are dayap leaves? Thank you!

Benjarong at the Dusit is nice. It’s supposed to be Royal Thai food. I personally find the food at Benjarong mild/mellow even when I compare with another restaurant that serves Royal Thai food (Blue Elephant in BKK/London comes to mind). If I’m really wanting authentic Thai taste, then I just make it. As previously mentioned, preparation is so cumbersome and mabusisi, consisting of a large number of ingredients..
