Bamboo Rice

3.5

at Bistro Remedios

-Malate, Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines-

solo

Among the greats at Bistro Remedios, the bamboo rice stands iconic.  Initially stir-fried and seasoned to perfection, with shrimp and chicken and mushrooms, then steamed in a bamboo tube, which imparts an additional layer of grassy flavor.  Seemingly simple but way more dynamically intriguing than appearances would suggest.  An excellent dish, whether standing alone or supporting others.
