Canteen at Trilogy

A long, long time ago, back when Doogie Howser was still straight and Krispy Kreme boxes were the carry-on luggage of choice of millions of California-based Balikbayans, there was a little restaurant in Greenbelt 2 called Uva, which many consider to be one of the harbingers of the Chilean sea bass craze in Manila. Its chef, Fernando Aracama, had gained popularity among dining circles in the city on account of Aracama’s sea bass and his homemade chunky Chocnut ice cream. Several years later, after the demise of Uva and Chef Aracama’s relocation to the more fashionable albeit also defunct Cuisine, we find ourselves pleasantly surprised to discover that the man of Chocnut fame has set up shop in the most irreconcilable of places – Canteen at Trilogy in the heart of Makati’s central business district.
