Who would have thought that there’s a place in Kapitolyo, Pasig where you can have your delightful Mexican inspired dishes. This is the place where you can have your cheat day err may be not. It’s not cheating when you enjoy what you are eating and at Karnitas Korner I did have a great Mexican inspired food experience.

Okay for a while get to know more about Karnitas Korner first then watch out for my full review and experience.

What is Karnitas Korner?

Called a concept restaurant, a porchetta joint or even a hole-in-the-wall, Karnitas Korner was established to be a go-to place where people can enjoy gourmet dish and porchetta in a casual dining setup. There is yet to be a porchetta restaurant in Metro Manila and Karnitas Korner offers this (even for same day order of whole porchetta) with gourmet ciabatta sandwiches (one of it is Porchetta Sandwich) and other gourmet dishes.

Few days ago one of Kwento Ni Toto's correspondent was able to be part of the group that Chef Robby introduced and have a taste of his entry for the Manila Food and Wine Festival which is called Porchetta which is an Italian dish but what make it interesting is that Chef Robby put a Filipino twist in it.


Chef Robby will present his take on Porchetta, which is usually referred to as the "Italian pulled pork" made of savory, fatty and moist boneless pork roast of Italian Culinary Tradition, spice with garlic, rosemary, fennel and other herbs.  Chef Robby puts a Filipino twist in this Italian dish by using the Pinoy's well love lechon, spice and dressed with caramelized onions and arugula leaves to suit the Pinoy taste.
