As to the Roasted Bone Marrow, we have to credit an award winning chef from London, Fergus Henderson. He is the writer of Nose to Tail Eating. A very Good book for cooks and foodies who love the the odd parts…It’s nice to see that a certain dish made by a special chef has influenced dishes from London up to our own country.

After two failed tries (would you believe the place was closed for a private party each time I wanted to go?), I finally got to eat at Cirkulo again last weekend. Funny thing is, I’d forgotten about the bone marrow so I didn’t go there for that; I just missed eating there. Even after I saw the dish in the menu and decided to order it (had a hard time choosing between that and the Foie Gras 3 Ways, and was afraid of the consequences if we got both), I still didn’t remember that you’d posted about it. But as soon as I saw it, with those cute wooden spoons, I remembered the photo above and was delighted.

And guess who was sitting at the very next table, also eating marrow? Anonymous Paul! But they were a big group sharing the dish, while there was just two of us. Together with our main course of Beef Belly, it sure was a heart-stopping meal! But, yes, we survived…gotta go back for the foie!

Taro duck is a favorite of mine as well. Eastwood’s Shanghai Bistro’s serves a good one. If you’re ok with it try the Taro Scallops @ the chinese resto in Tagaytay Highlands.

May I ask where the sisig in your picture comes from? Thanks.

I love crunchy sisig as well, and Gilligan’s serves the best ones for me. Sarap even with kanin!

You can also try Taro Duck at Emerald Garden along Roxas Blvd (pre-order). Most restaurants in Binondo still serve it since it’s a Chinese favorite.

I haven’t been to Cirkulo in a while, but you have just given me one good reason to go back.:-)

And you’re right about the meatloaf at Apartment 1b- It’s a great dish, very comforting and homely yet abundant in flavor. Lavhet!

Gus Hansen - The marrow bones are sitting on a bed of rock salt.
Katrina, Joey and other fellow marrow bone lovers: I've had taro duck to dream about at Gloria Maris in Greenhills, Choi Garden on Annapolis St. also in Greenhills, as well as at Peking Garden (very much missed in Glorietta because it's relocated to Trinoma).
