<p>MANILA -- Bryan Francisco of Kapeng Mainit in BF Homes Paranaque made a splash last year in the culinary scene with his food trip-worthy beignets.</p><p>A year later, Francisco is set to move to a new and bigger location. With this move comes the addition of new dishes in his menu.</p><div><strong>Here are our top picks: </strong></div><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2016/nation2/05/26/052616_bf1.jpg"/></figure></div><div><strong>1. Sinigang Fried Chicken</strong></div><p>The chicken is marinated with sinigang spices, battered and fried, served with a properly sour tamarind gravy over garlic rice.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2016/nation2/05/26/052616_bf2.jpg"/></figure></div><div><strong>2. Forbidden Rice Champorado</strong></div><p>Using forbidden rice (black rice), it is not only healthier, but the rice adds a pleasant nutty taste to the chocolate porridge. A great play on spicy and sweet, as well with a topping of Korean-style spicy caramelized dulong.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2016/nation2/05/26/052616_bf3.jpg"/></figure></div><div><strong>3. Chocolate Beignets</strong></div><p>These are a bit heavier than the original version, and come dusted in powdered sugar or stuffed with a filling, as well. I prefer to eat mine stuffed with salted caramel.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2016/nation2/05/26/052616_bf4.jpg"/></figure></div><div><strong>4. Cheese Stuffed Beignets</strong></div><p>These savory beignets are shaped like balls with a filling of mozzarella and cheddar cheese. It’s an exercise of patience to wait for them cool down a bit, as the filling is hot and piping and can burn your tongue. Your patience will be rewarded though—as you bite into a light crust to get pillowy pastry and melty cheese goodness.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2016/nation2/05/26/052616_bf5.jpg"/></figure></div><div><strong>5. Buttermilk Biscuits</strong></div><p>Francisco hits a home-run with these biscuits. While the crust is lighter than usual, the biscuit itself is a stunning success of pastry skill with each buttery, melt-in-your-mouth bite.</p><p>Served with maple syrup, try them with Francisco’s homemade French-style jams like strawberry and mango, these are probably the best or surely one of the best biscuits in Metro Manila.</p><p>Kapeng Mainit can be found at Tropical Avenue (near the BF Casimiro Gate), BF Homes, Paranaque.</p>
