Travel. Eat. Around the Globe: A Healthy Start in the Philippines

Hey food and travel addicts out there! This blog will help you in your search for good food while you are traveling!

Launching this blog by giving you an insight of one of the organic restos in Metro Manila, the IMO's organic restaurant by Sarah Geronimo. Sarah Geronimo is a famous singer and artist in the Philippines.

Her restaurant is located in Mindanao Avenue near St. Charbel Subdivision. IMO's boasts organic food because their ingredients are from their farm in Baguio.

So what's the verdict?

We started off our experience with their FREE lemongrass tea and bread sticks.

From their long menu of a mix of Filipino and Japanese cuisines, we asked for the best seller. They advised that we try their Bulalo (Filipino Beef Marrow Stew). Since we know this is going to be a "sinful" meal, we also asked for their salads. They recommended Mixed Green Salad.

Mixed Green Salad - Php 110 for Single and Php 175 for Double. We ordered the Single serving and we cannot believe our eyes when it was served!!! It was soooo big that it can be shared by 2-3 pax.

Since we want to be somehow healthy, we ordered red rice to partner our Bulalo. Red rice is known to help lower bad cholesterol.

Red rice - Php 45.00 for single serving

And here comes the main dish!!! It's Bulalo time!!! Their Bulalo is served in a large clay pot oozing with fresh veggies and organic meat.

Bulalo - Php 350 for 2 - 3 pax

But what will really entice you in trying their Bulalo is how big the serving is! It has three bones with two of them having the bone marrow in it!!!! YUM! YUM! and sinful. The bone marrow is yellowish, soft, and filled with flavor.

NOTE: Ask your Doctor first if bone marrow is allowed for you.

The benefit of eating here is that their beef came straight from the farm so you are assured of the freshness of the meat.

And here they are:

With this meal, we are soooooo filled to the brim! Thus, we ordered for another three rounds of lemongrass tea and freshly squeezed Watermelon juice.

Watermelon Juice - Php 95.00

We are looking forward to going back to Geronimo's and try their Organic Pancit Malabon.

Here's the interior of their restaurant when there is no people around. Love the nature ambiance with birds humming :)
