Full disclosure: the man behind Daniel is one of our wedding ninongs, and because of that fact we've gotten a lot of free food from him the last 2 years.
Having said that. I well and truly believe that Alex Arellano, who named his food service business after his late father, is a genius. After he left his career as a Managing Director/Executive Creative Director in the advertising industry, he turned his side business of cooking sisig into a full-time thing, and boy are my taste buds ever grateful.
I chanced upon Sir A's sisig when my wife (who worked with him for a couple of years) ordered a half-kilo of the stuff, but later on fell in love with his ultimate pork and beans, which, unlike commercial pork and beans, has loads more pork and actual whole strips of bacon. His caldereta is so flavorful, and finishing up with his Chocnut ice cream is sure to give you good vibes and take you back to your childhood. The food from Daniel is always a sure hit with people from the advertising industry, because as Sir A describes it, it's "food that takes time for people who can't spare any." read more
