Meat Slut’s ‘soud vide aquarium’ maintained at 54 degrees

What makes Meat Slut different from other steakhouses? Well, they cook their meats sous vide first at 54 degrees for 72 hours. And what difference does that make? The meat is slowly cooked on the inside that even after cooking over fire, it remains soft and juicy.After soaking the meat for 72 hours at 54 degrees, it is placed on a rack then ‘torched.‘ The result is soft smoky juicy meat with no charred, hard-to-chew parts in every bite.

Meat Slut’s 54 degrees Sirloin

Steaks – Choose from; 54 degrees Rib Eye (Php800.00), 54 degrees Sirloin (Php450.00), 72 Hours Rib Short Plate (Php380.00); each order is served with your choice of either rice or umami corn, Robuchon mashed potatoes or french beans. *Best paired with a glass of Merlot (Php150.00)

One Day At A Time: Christmas is not that dreadful anymore thanks to Bro. Jun Banaag’s radio show

View this post on Instagram

#latepost Chanced upon a nightly prayer radio show (Bro. Jun Banaag aka Doctor Love Radio Show) last month which quickly became a habit. Aside from the prayers (devotion to Padre Pio and Mother Theresa), they played Christmas carols…yes, in June! Little did I know that it was also therapeutic. You see, after losing my sister last May, any celebration or holiday for that matter seemed like torture for me. Especially Christmas, I dread it and planned to take a trip somewhere, anywhere or hide in a place where there's no trace of it. After a few weeks of weekday nightly prayers, Christmas does not seem that dreadful at all. Even took an early annual trip to decor suppliers for some inspiration. One step at a time, one day at a time with God's grace. 🙏🏼❤️🎄🎅🏼🙏🏼❤️🎄🎅🏼🙏🏼❤️🎄🎅🏼 #sentimentalme #ThePromise #onestepatatime #onedayatatime #ThankYouLord
