Continuing our one-of-a-kind efforts in bringing the authentic flavors of the Philippines to the masses, The Manila Machine is happy to announce a one-of-a kind Filipino food and wine pairing event with Domaine LA.

On Sunday January 23 from 2-5pm, The Manila Machine will be serving a special Filipino tasting menu to be paired with a selection of French and Italian wines chosen by Domaine LA’s staffers Whitney Adams (also of “On The Lamb Food & Wine”) and Jesse Brawner. The Manila Machine tasting menu will include Sisig, Beef Tapa, Lumpia, Crispy Adobo Flakes, and Ube Cupcakes.

Having a wide spectrum of flavors influenced by Malaysia, China, Spain, Mexico, and even the United States, it should be of no surprise that Filipino food can be enjoyed with wine. And with our contemporary take on traditional street and home-style Filipino dishes, The Manila Machine menu can provide endless matches with a variety of wine styles (but don’t forget, our offerings are still damn good with a cold bottle of San Mig–Filipino food is versatile like that).

Presale tickets are available online for $20. Tickets can also be purchased the day of the event for $24. The Manila Machine tasting menu cannot be purchased separately from this event, but regular Manila Machine a la carte items will be available for purchase the day of the event.

Greetings Filipino food fiends, and Happy New Year! Just wanted to let everyone know that The Manila Machine is back on the road for 2011! With all the recent rain (and snow in the SCV?!!), be sure to find us this week for some warm and soulful Filipino food.

On Tuesday, we’ll be serving breakfast and lunch at the UCLA Court of Sciences.

Wednesday we’re hitting up the valley in Woodland Hills with our buds Coolhaus.

Thursday we’re, shhhhh…

Friday The Manila Machine will be in North Hollywood at Pilgrim Films for lunch. UPDATE: We’ll be serving dinner and pulutan at Eagle Rock Brewery on Friday night from 6-10pm.

We’re closing the week out on Saturday in Sherman Oaks with our other friends Get Your Lardon.

That’s right everyone, be on the lookout this week for the warm orange rays of SoCal’s First Filipino food truck. We’ve got the most authentic and extensive Filipino menu on four wheels–you know it, and your Lola knows it (she told us so)!

Happy 2011!!!
