Cendrillon in SoHo

Due to my lack of time (more often than not) and money (at least for right now) I'm going to start listing places I want to go instead of just ones I've been to. Please feel free to share your lists with me, as well, particularly those in SoCal so we can go on our culinary tours.

Cendrillon is going to start the list. Unfortunately, this one is located in SoHo, that's right - The Big Apple. Chef Romy Dorotan was featured on the Martha Stewart Show February 20th show with Jason Biggs and Paul Walker. Chef Romy cooked up some adobo. There was also a Pilipino dance troupe that performed a dance from Southern Philippines. I didn't get a chance to catch the show but let's hope that a little more info on the PI was shared rather than the glossing over that the country, it's people and it's culture usually gets in mainstream American media.

I can't say much about the restaurant aside from all the raves it's been getting about it's bibingka but I'm always down for new concepts on how to market Pilipino cuisine in all it's "fusion" happiness as well as check out a fresh environment to present the food and culture. Here's the contact info for quick reference.
