Your Local<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Your Local<\/strong> is a fusion restaurant serving modern Asian flavors. Their menu is inspired by the owners’ love for Pan-Asian cuisine brought about by the many travels they had in the region.<\/p>\n

A reflection to its name, Your Local aims to be a neighborhood restaurant by bringing together people sharing the love for their unique dishes with well-balanced flavors. Their best sellers include\u00a0Chicken Rice\u00a0<\/strong>and Salmon Otak Otak.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tender and juicy are the best words to describe the steeped chicken of Your Local’s Chicken Rice<\/strong>. Its light flavor greatly compliments the bed of ginger-flavored rice that comes with it. Add a little chili sauce for the complete package!<\/p>\n

\"\"Salmon Otak-otak \/ IMAGE from Philippine Primer<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Otak-otak is a type of fish cake that is widely popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Your Local uses pan-fried salmon cakes on banana leaves served with coconut rice and shredded egg for their version of the Salmon Otak-otak<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Samyan<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspired by Samyan Street in Thailand, Samyan<\/strong> was created for the purpose of bringing Thai flavors closer to people. With the help of well-known Thai chef\u00a0Chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn<\/strong>, Samyan turns traditional street food to modern gourmet dishes.<\/p>\n

Their in-house chefs Mark Nepumoceno and Gabriel Ong were trained under Chef Ton to make sure that everything they serve is authentic.<\/p>\n

Sample a taste of Thai street food with their must-trys\u00a0Moo Dad Deaw<\/strong> and Khao Pad Tom Yum!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Moo Dad Deaw \/ IMAGE from Philippine Primer<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Popularly know as “Thai Jerky,” Moo Dad Deaw<\/strong>\u00a0is traditionally sun-dried before deep frying to achieve its crispiness. In Samyan’s version, however, the pork strips are marinated with soy sauce, sesame sees, native garlic and palm sugar then deep-fried. The result is a bowl of mouthwatering and crispy pork strips!<\/p>\n

\"\"Khao Pad Tom Yum \/ IMAGE from Philippine Primer<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Khao Pad Tom Yum <\/strong>is Chef Ton’s fried rice version of the famed Thai soup. The rice is flavored with the spicy sour Tom Yum paste served with shrimp and fried fish.<\/p>\n

Pigeon Hole<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pigeon Hall<\/strong> was inspired by the concepts of Chinese restaurant Macao Pigeon House and Brazilian restaurant Brazil Brazil.\u00a0<\/strong>The brand was born out of the idea of integrating the techniques of the two restaurants offering two completely different cuisines.<\/p>\n

Known for their Fried Pigeon<\/strong> and Charsui<\/strong>, Pigeon Hole is a home of two flavors combined into one amazing taste. We were able to try out their\u00a0Hongkong Style Chicken<\/strong> and Beef Brisket\u00a0Noodle Soup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Hongkong Style Fried Chicken \/ IMAGE from Philippine Primer<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Their Hong Kong Style Fried Chicken<\/strong> is meant to be eaten with lots of rice with its rich flavor that will leave you wanting more. We were told that the chicken was fully marinated in Pigeon Hole’s top-secret spices and ingredients.<\/p>\n

\"\"Beef Brisket Noodle Soup \/ IMAGE from Philippine Primer<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

On the other hand, the steaming bowl of Beef Brisket Noodle Soup <\/strong>makes for a heavy and hearty meal made of thick noodles, tender slices of beef brisket and fresh Chinese lettuce.<\/p>\n

Pigeon Hall is located at the\u00a0<\/strong>food stall number 11<\/strong>\u00a0of The Grid. If you wish to know more, you may contact 0917-180-3132.<\/p>\n
