How I wish this is some sort of a storytelling with a deep emotional resonance –one that can inspire and stir or fire up passion in you to take a step towards your dreams or your life goals. I’m afraid, my brethrens, that even if that’s what I intend to do with this lifestyle blog that breathes an appetite for the good life, this particular entry is a wicked attempt to reveal all things tasty and wonderful about a Private Dinner I had not so long ago at Pepita’s Kitchen.
World-changing? Probably not. But it is a whole new perspective on our local lechon (roasted pig). Watch what Pepita’s Kitchen does as Pinoy lechon goes global.
This exclusive private dinner in Magallanes was dubbed Lechon Degustaction. Let’s break that down a bit. Degustacion is a culinary term that entails sampling small portions of all of a chef’s signature dishes or a window to his / her new innovative kitchen experiments in one sitting. This brings you to at least 8-course-journey of a careful and appreciative tasting of various foods that merge tastes, senses, and high culinary art. Of course, good company is never taken out of the equation.

Mere mortals like me have high dreams of dining at The Fat Duck of Chef Heston Blumenthal in England. There, the degustacion experience takes 4 hours with a lot of molecular gastronomy involved. Pepita’s Kitchen also provided 4 HOURS of dining ecstasy in a slow, trance-like fashion.
