It’s crabs season at Rekado this Kadayawan





The home of Filipino comfort cuisine is now serving its three new crab dishes: the Crabs in Oriental Sauce, Salt & Pepper Crabs, & the Crabs Tininghi


The Kadayawan brings out Davao’s most sumptuous spread once more. Fresh fruits and seafood are the highlights of the season.

In celebration of the festival season, Rekado Filipino Comfort Food introduces new items on the seafood menu.

“We will be introducing the crabs cooked in three recipes: the Crabs in Oriental Sauce, Salt and Pepper Crabs and Crab Tininghi,” said Chef Pauline Benedicto-Malilin.

The Crabs in Oriental Sauce is mildly spicy. Chilis are the base of this dish but it is balanced with the hint of sweetness. The perfect harmony of the two flavors is well coated on the deep fried crabs.

The Salt and Pepper Crabs is cooked by tossing fresh crabs in white wine infused with chilis, onions and other flavorful aromatics. Both fragrant and savory, this newcomer on the menu will be a sure fire hit.

A step up on one of Rekado’s bestsellers, the Shrimp Tininghi, is the Crab Tininghi. As if the original dish couldn’t get any better, the chef leveled it up by using crabs. The dish is prepared with a flavorful paste simmered in coconut milk and sweetened by coconut milk.

“I’ve had these recipes for so long now and waited for the right moment to launch it and put it alongside the well-loved seafood dishes on the Rekado menu. The Kadayawan month is the perfect time to introduce and highlight these crab dishes,” shared the chef.

Over the recent luncheon hosted for the Davoa media, the chef opted to include two of Rekado’s well-loved dishes that went well with the theme of spread—the Gising-gising, winged beans (sigarilyas) slow cooked in coconut milk and topped with crispy dilis; and the Tuna Panga, fresh panga ng tuna of good quality finely seasoned with salt and pepper and basted with sauce of lemon, butter with garlic and grilled over charcoal, topped with roasted garlic and served with Ensladang Talong, Burong Mangga and soy sauce dipping.
