How This Restaurant Reinvents Banana Ketchup and Tortang Talong

Have you ever tried banana ketchup? It’s a staple in every Filipino home and Toyo Eatery makes their own using “volcanic” bananas that are sourced straight from local farmers in Capas, Tarlac. The interesting process of Toyo’s take on banana ketchup starts with the aging and fermentation of Bulkan Bananas for at least four months which give it that unique acidity that pairs well with their “Tortang Talong” or eggplant omelette.
Toyo Eatery won Asia’s Best 50 Restaurants as the best restaurant in the Philippines in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Chef Jordy Navarra and his team has completely changed the dining scene in Manila since opening in 2016 with their contemporary take on Filipino classics which uses locally sourced ingredients.
Toyo sources its ingredients for its Tortang Talong from Good Food Community-a subscription-based company that champions the Community-Shared Agriculture (CSA) approach to distributing fresh produce from farmers from the different provinces in the Philippines straight to your doorstep.

Tortang talong one of the best filipino vegetable dish, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner! 😁This episode shows how wonderful it is to live in a province, you could plant different kinds of veggies and eat them fresh. 🤗 Nice episode featr! 👌

[@OwelPengson]

Why is this channel not on Netflix yet?!?

[@albertgallanosa8600]

Because it’s better free , for the people, not only for the people that can afford Netflix

[@MMjr.]

Absolutely inspirational, i love the dedication of the chefs and their admiration for the local produce since majority of us are leaning towards foreign cuisine.

[@sayrhapillai3606]

[@rolmags100]

Just watch the menu bosigen mo sila

[@kurtjohnpalomaria342]

A more Pretentious take on Filipino food. Like pan de mahal. I like the grassroots content better, but this is a good contrast.

[@KhanaHathaway83]

You can checkout their LANDSCAPES series. They have this kind of content around 2017-2019

[@babbleboyquito]

How come Erwan pronounces “terroir” properly, but not “Capas” when the other chef already gave the proper pronounciation?

[@chrispolomack9249]

I don't understand how chefs can work with these useless masks. So stupid

[@reginajandoc6926]
