Foodie's Adventures down The Rabbit Hole

You won't find any rabbit with a pocket watch running around nor you fall down a hole into a room with many locked doors of all sizes. And this is not a rabbit stew but Ossobuco - a specialty from Milan, Italy of cross-cut veal shanks braised with vegetables, white wine and broth. Ossobuco is Italian for " bone with a hole " referring to the marrow hole at the center of the shank (from Wikipedia) .  It is among the many specialties of The Rabbit Hole located at Goldberry Lite Hotel along Mapa Street in Iloilo City. And between the hotel and the restaurant is a small opening that makes one literally pass through a " rabbit-hole ". A restaurant, cafe and bar in one, The Rabbit Hole Iloilo also serves as the main dining outlet of the hotel specializing in Filipino and fusion cuisine.  Here's an appetizing glimpse of some of its best-sellers.
