Kubo Woodfired Kitchen Review (2022)

Kubo Woodfired Kitchen Review (2022) is a proud one for me. What with my Filipino wife, 2.5 kids, house in Bohol, and so on. I love to be able to write about some of my favorite food on this planet because sometimes Filipino food gets tagged, incorrectly, as bland. It is far from it and Chef Sombero is pushing that 'rumor' even further into the back with his menu and offerings. https://islifearecipe.net/kubo-woodfired-kitchen-review-2022/ He is importing wood from Australia that burns hot and blackens because it is dry. The wood in Singapore is too wet for his needs. It's a perfectionist thing. This wood gets super-hot and generates that all-important smoke to feed his smoker - read on for more on that below. He stole some of his Grandmother's artwork from her house in the Philippines, and that now adorns one of the private dining rooms in this Filipino restaurant in Singapore. There is imported furniture from the Philippines to make this as authentic as possible, even with little mock-up Kubos for the outside dining. They have stunning murals painted on the walls depicting old Kubo from back home, but interestingly they have been painted by an Indonesia artist  Chef mentioned to me that Chef Pynt has been super-supportive of his Kubo style restaurant and helped him massively with the set up of this new Filipino restaurant in Singapore, Kubo Woodfired Restaurant. He even extended that support to the use of the Woodfired Oven, Smoker, and Gaucho (adjustable) Grill - that you'll also see front and center at Burnt Ends. As I sat there I realised that I had briefly met Chef Sombero when he was Head Chef at MeatSmith. MeatSmith and Burnt Ends were part of a Sky High Gourmet Fiesta event run by Marina Bay Sands and Ce La Vi. Remember that blog? Have a read below. At this Kubo style restaurant there is Sisig, Lechon-Style (and full-on Lechon to come), Chicharon, Turon, Halo Halo, Sorbetes, and so on. Plus they have their very own spins on Filipino classics with Tuna Tartare replacing the infamous Kinilaw. This really is exceptional Filipino food Singapore, just with a quirky spin, and you should try it.
