Brasas, Latin American Street Food

 

Nothing can be sexier than a Latina’s sun-kissed skin, slender legs and strong sprightly attitude.  They can really get heads turning.  I’m way far from looking like a Latina but I know how to admire beauty.  What gets MY head turning really is what they put inside their luscious lips… mouthwatering Latin American Street Food.

They have made their presence felt at Soderno Market.  But their permanent location is now parked at the 5th level of Podium.  Brasas, which translates to ‘flaming coals’, lets you experience the finest of what plagues the streets of Columbia, Argentina, Chile and Cuba right here in Manila.  It is over coals that orders are grilled to its delicious state.

Positively, the textures and flavors of the Patacones are first tasted here.  Take one big bite of the tender fork-pulled pork, refreshing salsa and crispy plantain that it’s sitting on and taste a hint of smokiness from the meat and sharpness from the cheese.  Strike while it’s hot.
