I got introduced to Zwilling while I was still slaving in the kitchen of the Peninsula Manila. By the way, I enjoyed that stint, however brief.
The executive chef told me that he never travels without his Zwilling knives. It has become more of a habit for him than a need, really. I thought he's one of those knife crazy people who found a way to legally carry knives. But looking back, I don't think he was, though. He probably just loves his Zwilling set.

Anyway, aside from adding citric acid to food that lacks salt, he gave me a piece of advice that turned out to be really helpful. He said that I should look for an excellent all-around kitchen knife, take care of it, and marry it if I have to. Also, to never, ever share it with others.
I was very young. I cared more about getting a killer pair of sneakers than a knife. So, I did the next best thing: I asked my mom if she could buy me one Zwilling chef's knife to start with.
As it turned out, she had a couple at home. So like any other good kid, I nicked all those.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels - a German brand that's synonymous with superb craftsmanship - recently opened their first standalone store at the Lower Ground Floor of SM Megamall's Building B.

As expected, the place is filled with their best-in-class cutlery sets and individual pieces. Yes, the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro's there, the forged series, Miyabi premium series, and so much more!
Seriously, I like knives that won't crack under pressure, literally. Experts say that the difference between German knives and Japanese knives - like Takamura - is that the former is built to cut through concrete. That's an exaggeration, of course. But you get what I mean.
"A knife for life" is one of Zwilling's mantra. I don't know how the company profits if most of the purchases are practically one-offs since the products are built-to-last. Whatever. I think companies like Zwilling is great for us consumers.
This is what I meant when I said "and more" a while ago. Staub! Those who want to upgrade their kitchenware to this beloved brand can check out the highly-tempting Staub products at the Zwilling J.A. Henckels, SM Megamall.
I don't have a single Staub, so I really don't know how they fare. I got a few Le Creuset during a super-sale years ago.
Online reviews show similarity in performance. Staub edges over Le Creuset price-wise because it's cheaper. The self-basting spikes underneath Staub's lids makes it a wiser option, too. The food is cooked evenly because of those spikes, and keeps the 'em moist and tender!

Zwilling fans - and everyone else who value quality - do check out Zwilling J.A. Henckels' store at SM Megamall. It's a test of wills, I tell you!
