<title>Not Your Usual Suspects: Sumptuous Oktoberfest Picks at Brotzeit</title>
<link>https://philippineexaminer.com/not-your-usual-suspects-sumptuous-oktoberfest-picks-at-brotzeit</link>
<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/not-your-usual-suspects-sumptuous-oktoberfest-picks-at-brotzeit</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ There&#039;s just no other restaurant in the metro where a spot of Bavaria and all its flavors come to life like Brotzeit. Since 2013, Brotzeit remains the only true Bavarian biergarten in Manila&#039;s ever changing restaurant landscape, and every October the annual Bavarian folk festival is celebrated cementing its position in the local dining scene as the premier destination for hearty brews fresh on tap from the world&#039;s oldest brewery and sumptuous Bavarian cuisine. It&#039;s time to raise your steins once more, it&#039;s Oktoberfest at Brotzeit... Every year, Brotzeit unveils new seasonal dishes in celebration of Oktoberfest. From their always impressive sausage selections and platters to signature dishes like the Schweinshaxn or crisp pork knuckles, Brotzeit is also known as &quot;The Home of the Schnitzel&quot; with its legit rendition of the timeless German classic. Everyone has a fave dish at Brotzeit, and a list of top dishes is an all too common narrative led by the familiar suspects dominating your social media feed. This Oktoberfest, allow me to change things up and recommend other picks from the Limited Time Oktoberfest Menu that deserves its place under the spotlight alongside your usual Shcweinshaxn. Now grab that soft and warm Bavarian Brezn and read on...That festive Oktoberfest vibe is recreated, completed with all the trimmings to transform Brotzeit into a spot of Bavaria at the top of The Podium. Pick your table and let the festivities begin...A table for the whole posse or just an intimate few, your table is ready at Brotzeit. Snap off a piece of the warm Brezn before that first soothing sip of Weihenstephan Festbier, after all Brotzeit literally means &quot;bread time&quot; (for more on Brotzeit, see my posts Prost! Good Times At Brotzeit German Bier Bar &amp; Restaurant from all the way back in 2013 during the opening of its very first branch, Prost! Raise A Toast To The New Home Of Brotzeit At The Podium from last year on their relocation to The Podium, Say Prost To Beer, Bites And Beats As Brotzeit Celebrates Oktoberfest 2025 also from last year, and Three Must-Try Dishes At Brotzeit on their savory signature offerings from 2014). From the new Limited Time Oktoberfest Menu, here are three dishes to add to your table......starting with the Bayrische Weisswurst (P 390) featuring Bavarian pork and veal sausages in a light and clear broth served with a pretzel. It&#039;s a regular item on the menu at Brotzeit, and it remains one my all-time picks. How can you go wrong with sausages, a light yet flavorful broth and a pretzel, right? Dip the pretzel in the broth and enjoy comforting flavors with the generous sprinkling of rock salt on the pretzel punching up the subtle savory notes with each bite. Then, enjoy a slice of the Bayrische Weisswurst with a dab of sweet mustard......with each juicy bite announced by a fresh and audible snap. Now, there&#039;s a proper way to enjoy the Bayrische Weisswurst or traditional &quot;white sausage.&quot; Simply slice it in half, dip the open end in sweet mustard and suck the pork and veal filling. Tradition dictates that the casing should never be eaten. This may sound sacrilegious to purists, but I enjoy the filling and casing with its fresh snap with every bite. Just take a bite before anyone notices but I suggest following the traditional way in the presence of foreign guests to avoid being a meme on social media for a culinary faux pas. A bite of the peeled filling of pork and veal drapes the palate with a light yet savory burst of elegantly nuanced notes without the casing getting in the way. Think of it as a whole new way of enjoying sausages, and there&#039;s no better time that Oktoberfest to do it right at Brotzeit. In contrast, the boldly spiced Regensburger Sausage (P 610) with its dense filling of coarse pork and beef brings flavor-forward and deep, pronounced notes to the palate complemented by a generous dab of mustard. Served with roasted potatoes and sauerkraut, the Regensburger Sausage offers solid punchy flavors with a fresh snap best washed down with a cold Weihenstephan Festbier. Richly spiced, the Regensburger Sausage delivers an intense flavorful richness followed by whisper of smoky hints. Often called the &quot;knacker&quot; due to its cracking sound with each juicy bite, the Regensburger Sausage is a feast in itself with its sides of rustic roasted potatoes and sauerkraut. The sauerkraut along with the mustard cuts through the savory richness of the Regensburger Sausage for a perfectly balanced finish best paired with another round of Weihenstephan Festbier. And like the Schweinshaxn, the signature Schnitzel is part of Brotzeit&#039;s culinary DNA with a special rendition just for Oktoberfest. The Munich Schnitzel (P 750) brings a regional variation to the classic with tender pork cutlet marinated in horseradish and mustard for that extra layer of flavor. Paired with sweet mustard, cucumber potato salad and cranberry sauce, the Munich Schnitzel offers a refreshing new schnitzel experience with the horseradish and mustard marinade adding a flavorful depth to the crisp and juicy cutlet. It&#039;s the top schnitzel pick for Oktoberfest only at Brotzeit. My top three picks for Oktoberfest at Brotzeit may not be what you expect, without the usual suspects led by the popular bestselling Schweinshaxn and large platters of sausages. Then again, Brotzeit offers a whole lot more like the Bayerische Weisswurst, Regensburger Sausage and Munich Schnitzel for even more flavorful options and a true taste of Bavaria this Oktoberfest. Grab another Bavarian Brezn and add these three picks to your next Oktoberfest feast at Brotzeit. But better hurry. These specials will only be available until the end of October. Brotzeit is located at the Sixth Floor of The Podium, ADB Avenue, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong, 1550 Metro Manila.

<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/championstable-2026-philippine-culinary-cup-overall-champion-city-of-dreams-manila-shares-its-winning-dishes-at-the-exclusive-champions-table-preview</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ An impressive haul of 15 gold, silver and bronze medals across 13 different categories is an impressive statement. And the victorious 17-chef delegation of City of Dreams Manila emerged on top over 52 other teams from noted hotels, restaurants and catering services at the 16th edition of the Philippine Culinary Cup as Overall Champion.  A significant milestone for the prestigious integrated resort complex, the recent victory reflects City of Dreams Manila&#039;s continuous commitment and dedication to culinary excellence. And soon, you may be able to experience and savor the flavors of these award-winning dishes...In an exclusive preview, City of Dreams Manila hosted an intimate dinner simply dubbed the Champion&#039;s Table showcasing the victorious culinary team&#039;s winning renditions last October 17 at the Grand Ballroom. For one special evening, the top chefs of City of Dreams Manila recreated their winning dishes from the 2026 Philippine Culinary Cup for another memorable dining experience of vibrant flavors and masterful execution by the bay. Read on for a tasty peek at the dishes that may soon be part of the regular menu of your favorite restaurant at City of Dreams Manila...Through the years, City of Dreams Manila has been a part of my blog&#039;s journey documenting countless flavors and memories from their repertoire of culinary options (for more on the many culinary dining destinations at City of Dreams Manila, see my previous posts for my top picks starting with The Fresh Flavors From The Sea And Grill At Hidemasa In City Of Dreams Manila from two years ago, A Taste Of Royal Thai Cuisine At Red Ginger from a decade ago, When A Typical Sunday Cantonese Lunch Is Transformed With A Luxurious Vibe...At Crystal Dragon. from 2019, Northern Exposure: A Taste Of Authentic Northern Chinese Flavors At City Of Dream Manila&#039;s New Jing Ting Restaurant from 2017, Filipino Flavors Reimagined With A Contemporary Spin At Haliya Modern Filipino Cuisine Of City Of Dreams Manila from 2021 and Taste Of Artistry: A 5-Course Filipino Tasting Experience At Haliya Modern Filipino Cuisine In City Of Dreams Manila from last year and Sunday Best: The Sunday Brunch Buffet At Nobu Restaurant from 2018. And it continues to this day with City of Dreams Manila earning the coveted title as Overall Champion in the recent 2026 Philippine Culinary Cup. At City of Dreams Manila, the creative culinary process is a continuous cycle in constantly raising the bar. And for guests and diners at City of Dreams Manila, this passionate approach lays the foundation for a memorable dining experience.The country&#039;s premier and only World Association of Chefs Societies  (WORLDCHEFS) endorsed and recognized culinary competition, the Philippine Culinary Cup remains an insightful gauge of the country&#039;s culinary creativity with the roster of winners providing a snapshot of the local dining scene. And for 16 years, the prestigious Philippine Culinary Cup has long been the gold standard for competitive culinary competitions in the country. This year, the trophy for Overall Champion finds a home at City of Dreams Manila...That evening, the winning chefs of City of Dreams Manila relived the moment once more with a lavish feast of their culinary creations at the Grand Ballroom. In a stunning display of creativity and excellence, City of Dreams Manila unveiled the winning cast that earned it the Overall Champion recognition among the country&#039;s best by the extremely competitive Philippine Culinary Cup, starting with savory nibbles with the Art of Dimsum.  The entry Art of Dimsum is a delectable trio of Crystal Skin Chive Scallop Dumpling, Sea Bass Lucky Bag with Lime Leaf, and Sichuan Style Shrimp Wontons paired with Sichuan Spicy Sauce, Yellow Pepper Sauce, and Homemade XO Sauce. The plated rendition first feeds the eye before the palate with its intricate execution. Then, that first bite drapes the palate with a savory burst of rich yet clean briny flavors from the succulent seafood. Scallop, shrimp, and sea bass. The lavish catch of the day is celebrated in tasty and exquisite filled pockets of dimsum expressions. Each bite brings a complexity of flavors that teases the palate yet each contrasting note complements the other in a delicately nuanced play of vibrant undertones and hints. And the sauces complete the elegant medley of flavors. It&#039;s an excellent start at the Champion&#039;s Table of City of Dreams Manila.From the Filipino Cuisine Challenge category of the competition, City of Dreams Manila&#039;s culinary team presents a savory and decadent trio of Tres Talaba, Estofadong Antigo, and Binanging Adlai drawing inspiration from traditional and even nostalgic local flavors. A delicate shell-like crisp base becomes the vessel for a creative expression of pure flavors in three acts for Tres Talaba with its diverse renditions of flavors. From kamias salsa, calamansi crema, pomelo and adobo sarsa, green mango and dayap palamig each with its own own play on unique notes complementing the fresh and briny sweetness of the succulent oyster, the tasty trio becomes the proper starter to a course of local flavors. Completing the Filipino Cuisine Challenge is the Estofadong Antigo with fork-tender slabs of pork belly and pork ribs with grilled pork butt with the pronounced sweet, salty and tart notes of the kinchay at sili soy cutting through the savory richness, pineapple jus and maruya and sweet potato fondant for that whisper of sweetness. The modern, updated and contemporary spin honors the deep and rich hearty notes of the original dish. And paired with the Binanging Adlai with pork fat rebusado, roasted bone marrow, corn, mushroom and kamote, it&#039;s a real serious meal with a colorful weave of contrasting notes. City of Dreams Manila&#039;s entry for the Pasta Challenge Category is the Spicy Seafood Marinara Spaghetti with Kataifi Prawns, Bagna Cauda Sauce, Osetra Caviar and fresh basil that transforms a familiar staple into an elevated expression of pasta goodness from the tartness of the sauce and that subtle lingering heat. The addition of prawns wrapped in crisp pastry adds a textural component to the dish while the mildly salty hints of the Bagna Cauda Sauce and marinara just ties everything together capped by the indulgence of Osetra Caviar with its bold and briny &quot;pops&quot; of flavor.  The entry for the Asian Gourmet Challenge is another beautifully plated rendition with the Asian Pork Roulade, a savory pork loin roulade with aromatic Asian spices and wild betel leaf paired with Crispy Egg Yolk Puffs made with salted egg yolk, seasoned minced pork cumin, and kaffir lime leaf and Fragrant Tomato Rice with Asian spices, sweet raisins and fresh coriander. The delicate Crispy Egg Yolk Puffs provides a contrasting counterpoint to the richness of the pork loin roulade with the Fragrant Tomato Rice completing the sumptuous rendition. In one dish, City of Dreams Manila presented infinite possibilities to dining at the prestigious integrated property led by inventive young chefs from the culinary team. From the US Pork Category, the Braised US Pork Shoulder with pork sausage, sweet potato purẻe, pork and mushroom tortellini, blueberry compote, pickled granny smith apple and mustard seeds and seasonal vegetables is a meticulously plated execution with several components, each one contributing to a lavish medley of flavors and textures. The tender US Pork Shoulder is well executed with its tender finish complemented by a variety of flavorful layers from the different components of the dish.One of my personal picks that evening has to be the entry for the US Lamb Category with the Herb Crusted Braised US Lamb with Creamy Mushroom and Lamb Ragout, Lamb Cromesquis, Spicy Tomato Chutney, Mint Jus and Seasonal Vegetables. Perfectly executed with a juicy pink center, the tender US Lamb delivers rich yet clean savory notes complemented by the duo of Creamy Mushroom and Lamb Ragout. The Lamb Cromesquis or deep-fried croquette brings an element of texture into play while the tomato chutney, mint jus and seasonal vegetables brings layers of flavors to the dish. Yet all the different elements comes together in an elegant, seamless and balanced finish. Capping the tasting experience, City of Dreams Manila&#039;s entry for the Dream Team Challenge is a three-course feast in itself starting with the Stuffed Kampachi Croquette......with Smoked Gouda and Honey Sriracha Sauce. The winning chefs then incorporate playful elements adding color, flavor and texture contributing to the overall dish. Each tasty bite sets up the palate for the main course......of Smoked Herb Crusted Beef Rib Finger on creamy mushroom risotto, red wine jus, mushroom ragout, crisp Beef Cromesquis or stuffed croquette, beef ravioli, roasted pumpkin purée, sautéed glazed seasonal vegetables and stuffed morel. Elegantly plated, it&#039;s a proper plate for the evening&#039;s culminating course. The Smoked Herb Crusted Beef Rib Finger is tender and juicy with its beefy richness pairing well with a whisper of smoky hints and herbal notes. The slab of beef is paired with a complement of savory bites like the Cromesquis and beef ravioli along with the roasted pumpkin purée, silky smooth mushroom risotto, the red wine jus and mushroom ragout tandem and glazed vegetables. And for dessert? The perfect sweet ending comes in the form of the Tropical Rhapsody with Pandan Genoise, salted coco crumble, jackfruit cremeux, jackfruit cream cheese mousse, honey tuile, calamansi sauce, sugar tuile with saffron, dragon fruit rose, water caviar, coconut sphere, green choco spray, and coconut mascarpone cream quenelle. The award-winning dishes present potential new flavor experiences at the different dining destinations at City of Dreams Manila, and some of these same dishes may find its way on the regular menu. As part of the evening&#039;s activities, guests were invited to vote on their favorite dish for a possible place on the menu. The Philippine Culinary Cup often serves as a barometer and benchmark on the state of the local dining scene&#039;s creativity. If the Champion&#039;s Table preview is any gauge, then City of Dreams Manila&#039;s position as a dining destination continues to look temptingly bright. City of Dreams Manila is located at Aseana Boulevard corner Macapagal Avenue, Entertainment City, Paranaque City or call 691-7772 or 800-8080 for more information.

<title>And Here&amp;apos;s The Beef. And Lamb. Meat &amp;amp;amp; Livestock Australia (MLA) Launches The Aussie Red Meat Ambassador Table Series At AzuThai</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The best premium quality ingredients and masterful execution, that&#039;s a winning formula. And when world-renowned Australian Beef &amp; Lamb meets the vibrant flavors of traditional Thai cuisine, something truly magical happens transforming the dining experience. Welcome to the first edition of the Meat &amp; Livestock Australia (MLA) Aussie Red Meat Ambassador Table...The Meat &amp; Livestock Australia (MLA) launches the inaugural edition of a novel culinary concept showcasing chef-driven dining experiences using premium Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb with the Aussie Red Meat Ambassador Table Series at AzuThai in Makati. The culinary series aims to highlight the versatility of Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb in a variety of culinary styles executed by acclaimed Filipino chef ambassadors led by the current Meat &amp; Livestock Australia Lambassador Chef J. Gamboa. The opening salvo in the culinary series featured exquisite Thai cuisine and creative renditions of Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb at AzuThai. Read on and take your place at the table for a tasty peek of the first Aussie Red Meat Ambassador Table series...Since 2008, AzuThai along Arnaiz Avenue in Makati has long been acknowledged as a pioneer in authentic Thai cuisine with the coveted ThaiSELECT seal from the Thailand Ministry of Commerce. Helmed by Chef J. Gamboa, Azuthai continues the 18-year tradition and legacy of authenticity with its repertoire of Thai staples on the menu. That evening, Chef J. Gamboa takes their popular renditions of Thai cuisine up a notch using Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb for the inaugural edition of the Meat &amp; Livestock Australia (MLA) Aussie Red Meat Ambassador Table series at AzuThai. The current Lambassador for the MLA, Chef J. Gamboa presents a curated menu using Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb from starters to savory mains for a memorable evening of bold and vibrant flavors (for more on Chef J. Gamboa&#039;s appointment as the new MLA Lambassador, see my post Chef J. Gamboa Takes On New Role Championing Aussie Lamb In Local Cuisine As The Country&#039;s New Lambassador For Meat And Livestock Australia from May this year). The innovative culinary series is part of a long-term and strategic campaign to drive awareness for Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb and effectively showcase its versatility in a wide variety of cuisines and culinary styles while harnessing the local community of food professionals. &quot;Through the Aussie Red Meat Ambassador Table Series, we want to bring chefs and industry partners together to share ideas and explore more ways to use Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb. We hope each edition inspires chefs to try different cuts and applications in their own menus,&quot; shared Beej Sison, Business Development Manager - Philippines, Meat &amp; Livestock Australia (MLA). The current series follows a long line of successful programs and initiatives showcasing Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb, and it continues with the chef-led dining experiences of the Aussie Red Meat Ambassador Table Series (see more from their previous Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb campaigns on my posts, All Aboard The Aussie Lamb Caravan By Meat &amp; Livestock Australia For A Savory And Flavorful Ride At Partipating Restaurants from August last year, #ILoveAussieLamb: Twelve Top Chefs From Tagaytay&#039;s Finest Restaurants Celebrate The Versatility Of Aussie Lamb from early February this year and Day One, Four Restaurants: The I Love Aussie Lamb Experience Takes Over Tagaytay For A Month-Long Festival from nine months back). The curated menu by Chef J. Gamboa and Thai Chef de Cuisine Leo Chaladdee of AzuThai draws inspiration from familiar and traditional Thai classics, elevated with premium Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb. The new menu is an insightful exploration on the infinite possibilities of Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb creatively expressed through Thai cuisine with a creative &quot;Thai Steakhouse&quot; vibe. The collaboration also highlights how Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb can complement a wide tapestry of flavors, cuisines, cooking techniques and restaurant menus. &quot;Australian Lamb offers so many possibilities beyond the dishes people usually associate with it. Working with Chef Leo at AzuThai gives us an opportunity to explore how lamb complements Thai flavors and inspire fellow chefs to create their own interpretations,&quot; added Chef J. Gamboa. And AzuThai is the perfect setting for an exquisite Thai dining experience (for more on Azuthai and Thai Chef de Cuisine Leo Chaladdee, see my post, Enduring Authenticity: Azuthai Restaurant Unveils An Exciting New Specials Menu By Chef Leo Chaladdee from early January this year). The gathering included some of Manila&#039;s top chefs and industry personalities. It&#039;s through programs like this that the difference offered by Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb can be experienced first-hand, sparking the creative process through engaging conversations. And there&#039;s nothing like tasty bites to kickstart any conversation... The evening began with savory nibbles of Nuea Daet Diao or Thai style dried beef with lime leaves and a spicy chili dipping sauce to open up the palate with its deep beefy notes followed by a lingering soothing heat. And right off the bat, the deep and bold notes of Australian Beef sets the tone for the lavish feast ahead......followed by the refreshingly crisp and clean notes of the Poh Pia Paksot or fresh spring rolls wrapped with vegetables wrapped in soft and delicate rice paper and served with peanut sauce. The See Krong Gae Ob Prik or slow-roasted Australian lamb ribs with roasted chili, coriander root and toasted rice paper brings the legendary fresh and clean savory notes of Australian Lamb with just a whisper of gamey hints for depth perfectly complemented by Thai spices and seasonings for a medley of contrasting flavors and textures. The juicy Australian lamb ribs are tender with the charred edges delivering a flavorful burst. Premium ingredients and masterful execution combine in a seamless weave orchestrated by Chef J. Gamboa and Thai Chef de Cuisine Leo Chaladdee at AzuThai. The Wagyu Beef Larb &quot;Sando&quot; is another imaginative rendition of Thai flavors with Australian Beef with Spicy Australian Wagyu Beef Larb and fresh herbs in between lightly crisp toasted bread. Before the savory mains, the traditional Yam Som O or pomelo salad with succulent prawns, tender chicken, toasted coconut and lime dressing kicks off the feast with its sweet, fresh yet punchy notes......followed by the Ka Prow Katha Ron or sizzling Australian Lamb with long beans, chili and fresh basil topped with egg. One of the many highlights of the evening&#039;s dinner, the savory richness of the Australian Lamb drapes the palate with its lingering flavors made even richer with the egg and perfectly tempered by the fiery chilies and fresh basil for that elegantly balanced finish. The familiar Thai dish often made with pork or beef is transformed by the unique flavorful depth of Australian Lamb with its bold yet clean notes. It&#039;s just one of many tasty possibilities Australian Lamb can bring to the table, making familiar dishes refreshingly different with its pronounced flavor profile. The See Krong Gae Yang Som Tam &quot;Lamb Chops&quot; or Josper charcoal grilled dry-aged Australian lamb Chops with sweet and tart tamarind glaze brings the distinctive flavors of Thai cuisine for an inventive fresh take on the usual lamb chops. The delectable sharpness of the tamarind glaze enhances the deep savory profile of the tender and juicy Australian Lamb, releasing intense flavors with each bite. It&#039;s uniquely Thai touches like this that illustrates how Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb can be your secret ingredient in your new dish at home or your restaurant. And that&#039;s the purposeful intent behind the Meat &amp; Livestock Australia Aussie Red Meat Ambassador Table series where chefs can flex their creativity with inventive dishes like the See Krong Gae Yang Som Tam &quot;Lamb Chops.&quot;The first of a savory duo of mains, the Massaman Gaeh Lamb &quot;Ossobucco&quot; is another creative reinterpretation of a traditional Thai dish, elegantly upgraded with Aussie Lamb. The tender, fall-of-the-bone Australian Lamb Shank simmered in a thick Massaman style curry with shallots and potatoes is a hearty meal in itself, with the rich and deep savory flavors of the Australian Lamb Shank matching the intense notes of the curry. The dish is built on layers of flavor led by the savory richness of the tender Australian Lamb Shank followed by the sweet, nutty finish of the curry with just a whisper of soothing heat to complete the lavish medley of delicate layers enjoyed with each bite. It&#039;s a dish best paired with steamed Thai Jasmine Rice for a serious meal at AzuThai. The &quot;Thai Steakhouse&quot; vibe is then switched on with the sumptuous and impressive Nuea Yang Tao Thaan &quot;Ribeye&quot; with charcoal grilled bone-in Australian Ribeye from Australia&#039;s famed Stanbroke Farms paired with Nam Jim Jaew Sauce. Grilled to medium rare with its juicy pink center, the premium slab of ribeye from Stanbroke Farms is the centerpiece of the evening&#039;s feast. And the culinary exclamation point to kick off the first edition of the Meat &amp; Livestock Australia Aussie Red Meat Ambassador Table series on a high note. The rich yet clean and buttery beef-forward flavors with its exquisite marbling lingers long on the palate, clearly reflecting the high standard of quality associated with Aussie Beef. The light crust of charred edges adds to the lavish play on flavors and textural contrasts with its intense yet subtle smoky hints. The tangy, sweet and spicy Nam Jim Jaew Sauce cuts through the buttery richness of the Australian Ribeye for that elegantly balanced finish. The main course is paired with savory sides like the Khao Phot Yang Maprao or grilled corn with coconut lime and coriander......and the Phak Khom Kaeng Khiao Wan-Green Curry Creamed Spinach with coconut cream and Grana Padano for a memorable feast at AzuThai and a proper start to the Meat &amp; Livestock Australia Aussie Red Meat Ambassador Table Series. For dessert, Chef J. Gamboa and Thai Chef de Cuisine Leo Chaladdee served their signature Tako Coconut Pandan Cups... ...and the indulgent Mango and Coconut Sticky Rice Sundae for the picture-perfect sweet ending. The culinary series brings together a multi-sectoral representation from media, executive chefs, and participating importers to experience the creative menu highlighting Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb coupled with the engaging exchange of ideas and strengthening connections with Aussie Red Meat Ambassadors and industry partners. And if the first edition of the Aussie Red Meat Ambassador Table is any indication, diners can expect even more creative renditions of Aussie Beef &amp; Lamb from some of the country&#039;s top chefs in a continuing culinary series in the near future.

<title>Hooked By The Scent: The Nostalgic And Indulgent Butter Rum Cake And Pistachio Double Chocolate Cookie With Smoked Maldon Sea Salt By Tito Oye</title>

<description><![CDATA[ It&#039;s that time of the year when familiar and nostalgic aromas fill the air, taking you back to simpler times. And in one particular kitchen, this olfactory delight is tediously crafted with precision and passion with the constant roll-out of fresh baked rum cakes for the holidays...The fragrant buttery aroma of rum cakes, fresh off the oven, is a sensory tease that triggers your craving almost immediately after that first whiff. That&#039;s no surprise. That subtle play of sweet, fresh baked dessert notes and the deep, pronounced hints of aged rum and warm butter combine for a tempting and sensory assault on nostalgic cravings. This holiday season, the kitchens of Tito Oye tempts you once more with his signature Butter Rum Cake and Pistachio Double Chocolate Cookie with Smoked Maldon Sea Salt for a double dose of pure indulgence...Since 2017 when I first experienced the fresh baked sweet and savory creations of Tito Oye (previously known as Ollie&#039;s Kitchen and Oye! Sabor) by Ollie Isidro, I&#039;ve been hooked. And through the years, Ollie Isidro continues to push the envelope with his creative renditions of fresh-baked indulgence (for more on Ollie Isidro&#039;s repertoire of baked creations, see my posts Fresh-Baked, Chef-Made Hand-Rolled Cookie Goodness By Ollie&#039;s Kitchen from six years ago, Fancy A Danish? Ollie&#039;s Kitchen Unveils The New Fresh-Baked Danish Collection from 2022, Nostalgic Treats: Ensaimadas And Sylvanas, New From The Ovens Of Ollie&#039;s Kitchen from four years ago, Afternoon Delights At Home With The New Lemon Iced Loaf By Ollie&#039;s Kitchen from 2023, Ollie&#039;s Kitchen Spins Cookie Stories Inspired By The Big Apple With The Indulgent New York Style Cookies Collection from 2023, Top Of The List: Oye! Sabor Presents The New Maldon Sea Salt Cookie Collection And The New Croissant Cookie from 2024). But Ollie Isidro isn&#039;t done just yet, drawing on a classic holiday staple with his own version of the timeless and enduring Butter Rum Cake...Available starting September to December as part of Tito Oye&#039;s much awaited Holiday Collection, the small-batch baked specialty Butter Rum Cake by Tito Oye has to be on your holiday list. The moment you lift the lid, that decadent weave of warm, rich and deep buttery aroma and hints of spiced rum initially tempts the nose with its fragrance for the first in a series of intertwined sensory experiences. Then, the deep golden hues of the glazed surface with walnuts draws your eyes closer as another whiff of the fragrant buttery aroma completes the temptation. That temptation draws you even closer for that first slice......and right off the bat, the knife just cuts through clean like butter revealing the moist and buttery texture of the Butter Rum Cake. Unlike the usual &quot;dry&quot; and spongy commercial options, the Butter Rum Cake by Tito Oye is unbelievably moist, with each bite draping the palate with a lingering buttery richness. In between bites, the walnuts brings its delectable play on contrasting textures and flavors with its distinctive notes. The sweetness of the Butter Rum Cake is given a flavorful depth by the pronounced hints of aged rum for that delicately balanced finish. This is pure and unrestrained Butter Rum Cake indulgence, and it&#039;s no surprise that the first bite leads to another. And another slice. Tito Oye doesn&#039;t reinvent the classic rum cake, instead he stays true to tradition while holding nothing back with his generous buttery and rum-infused glaze. The result is moist fresh baked temptation that warms the palate with its nostalgic richness and seductive buttery rum glaze. The Butter Rum Cake is priced at P 550 per loaf, packed with Christmas ribbons for the season of giving. As an added treat, you can avail of the Christmas Early Bird 10% Discount from Tito Oye on Christmas orders (Food for the Gods, Cookies, Butter Rum Cake and Tito Oye Sardines) of P 2,500 and above. But there&#039;s one more box to be unboxed from Tito Oye&#039;s kitchen ...The Pistachio Double Chocolate Cookie with Smoked Maldon Sea Salt (P 450 per half dozen/P 800 per dozen) is another masterful and decadent cookie expression from one of Manila&#039;s acclaimed cookie wizards. The deep bold notes of dark chocolate and the nutty sweetness of pistachios are perfectly rounded out by the subtle sharpness and whisper of smoky hints from smoked Maldon Sea Salt for another intricate weave of contrasting flavors coming seamlessly together in one indulgent bite. These cookies are made for slow and unhurried afternoons with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or simply a glass of milk for that well-deserved moment of indulgence, one tasty bite at a time. Selected as one of the best chocolate cookie masters by spot.ph and yummy.ph, Ollie Isidro of Tito Oye remains at the top of his game in the local dessert scene anchored on his signature cookies. And you can forget about restraining yourself for one more Pistachio Double Chocolate Cookie with Smoked Maldon Sea Salt and just go with the flow......and you&#039;ll soon find out that the Pistachio Double Chocolate Cookie with Smoked Maldon Sea Salt or any cookie by Tito Oye always wins in the end despite your best efforts to practice restraint. This holiday season, there are countless options as expected......yet Tito Oye&#039;s fresh-baked creations are always on everyone&#039;s list. It&#039;s long been one of those constants in a constantly evolving and changing culinary scene that&#039;s been reliably consistent through the years.

<title>Delight In Every Bite: Celebrate The Festive Flavors Of The Season As Gianetto Introduces Their New Holiday Offerings</title>
<link>https://philippineexaminer.com/delight-in-every-bite-celebrate-the-festive-flavors-of-the-season-as-gianetto-introduces-their-new-holiday-offerings</link>
<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/delight-in-every-bite-celebrate-the-festive-flavors-of-the-season-as-gianetto-introduces-their-new-holiday-offerings</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ It&#039;s a story that began in a home kitchen back in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, preparing home-cooked meals for the community during the long days of the quarantine experience. For Lesley Ngo and Chef Jackie Isanan, the uncertainty of the times unlocked a dream that would lead them from a dedicated curbside pick-up location for their signature pizza baked fresh from their home kitchen to two brick and mortar locations in Parqal and Capitol Commons. And the journey continues as Lesley Ngo and Chef Jackie Isahan unveil the festive flavors of the holiday season at Gianetto, a contemporary Italian inspired bistro created and built around the timeless idea that good food is best shared...In both good and challenging times, there&#039;s nothing like good food to bring us all together for memories remembered long after the last bite. At Gianetto in Capital Commons, founders Lesley Ngo and Chef Jackie Isanan share their repertoire of comforting and rustic Italian specialty dishes from pizza and pasta to exquisite savory mains and decadent expressions of Italian desserts for a fresh and exciting new chapter in a culinary journey that began amidst uncertainty during the quarantine experience. Six years later, the inspiring story that began with fresh-baked pizza and a dedicated curbside pick-up point has blossomed and evolved for the good times ahead. Read on for a tasty peek at the Christmas 2026 Holiday Offers at Gianetto...Located at Maven in Capitol Commons, the distinctive teal green-hued doors of Gianetto is a visual cue to a sumptuous feast of comforting Italian flavors......leading to an elegant space where memorable dining experiences anchored on an extensive menu of Italian classics are celebrated. And with the holidays just around the corner, these are the moments when Gianetto becomes home where good food shared with family and friends are woven into a colorful thread of cherished memories. &quot;At Gianetto, we believe the best moments happen when people come together to share great food and meaningful experiences,&quot; said Chef Jackie Isanan, co-founder and executive chef of Gianetto. &quot;This Christmas, we are excited to offer guests delicious ways to celebrate, connect, and create unforgettable holiday memories.&quot; And Gianetto may just be the space for your holiday get-together...It was my first time at Gianetto, and the best way to ease yourself into the cozy warmth of the space is with a freshly brewed Cafe Latte. Gianetto offers a full section of specialty brews from Cappuccino and Espresso to Caffé Mocha and White Chocolate Latte. Meanwhile, Chef Jackie Isanan and her team are adding the final touches to a lavish grazing spread for a festive holiday feast at Gianetto. The arrival of the BER months formally opens the grazing season as Gianetto showcases a sweet and savory pasture with exquisite savory nibbles like the Salami, Olive &amp; Orange Cheddar Skewers......an elegant Cheese Board with Brie and Camembert Wheels, pretzels and fresh grapes......Sweet Onion Bruschetta and Tropical Pepper Jack and Shrimp Skewers......to sweet and indulgent shots of Biscoff &amp; Salted Caramel Coffee Mousse Shooters and Matcha and Dark Chocolate Mousse Shooters. And there&#039;s more...Imagine a tempting spread of Savory Salmon and Herbed Cream Cheese Rounds, Brie Prosciutto Bruschetta, Prosciutto Marble Jack &amp; Cucumber Ribbon Skewers, Nut Crusted Cranberry Cream Cheese Truffles, Almond and Chocolate Biscuit Sticks and a Tropical Sunset Fruit Board for your holiday get-together at Gianetto. Just leave it to Lesley Ngo and Chef Jackie Isanan to prepare your holiday feast with their Gianetto Party Trays and grazing spreads delivered directly to your home, office or event venue so you can enjoy the moment without the fuss or stress.   Then, Gianetto served some of their signature pizza creations with the savory duo of Eats Me Spinach with Bacon topped with creamy white sauce, Mozzarella, Cheddar, spinach, cream cheese and bacon on a crisp and rustic crust with beautifully charred blisters around the edges for intense notes and delectable textural contrast......and the Beer Buddies with pepperoni, Italian sausage, Mozzarella, Cheddar, green bell peppers, mushrooms, artichoke, jalapeño and Parmesan on rich red sauce for deep and bold savory flavors. Each rendition reveals Gianetto&#039;s masterful play on flavors with the lusciously creamy and fresh clean notes of the Eats Me Spinach with Bacon lingering long on the palate while the flavorful tandem of pepperoni and Italian sausage are perfectly complemented by the smoky sweetness of the green bell peppers and earthy hints of mushrooms finished by the richness of the cheese blend and tart red sauce for a satisfyingly complex yet delicately balanced medley. Gianetto also has other popular variants on the menu like the Pescatore with fresh seafood and pesto and the Ulta Tartufo with truffle and shiitake mushrooms. Chef Jackie Isanan knows her pizza. Mentored by master pizzaiolo Chef Giorgio Bucciarelli, Chef Jackie Isanan also bagged the top prize from the real California Milk Pizza Innovation Competition in 2023 with her 6-Cheese &amp; Crab Tomalley Basil Pizza. But there&#039;s more surprises from the bag of tricks of Gianetto. Pizza becomes a blank canvas for some kitchen wizardry at Gianetto with creative and even unexpected and refreshingly inventive renditions...This holiday season, Chef Jackie Isanan unveiled Gianetto&#039;s creative take on holiday flavors with the La Festa Tropicale. The inspired spin on savory holiday flavors brings comfortingly familiar and even nostalgic notes into play with Christmas ham, crisp bell peppers and red onions over creamy Mozzarella and Parmesan layered with a flavorful soy and honey glaze on a crisp crust. Each bite takes you back to memorable childhood holiday feasts with its inventive spin on traditional Christmas flavors. The contrasting sweet, salty and savory notes all come together for a &quot;delight in every bite&quot; delivering a flavorful burst from the Christmas ham, the sharpness of the Parmesan elegantly smoothened by the Mozzarella, the pronounced notes and bite of the bell peppers and red onions with the sweet and salty soy honey glaze completing the flavors. It&#039;s Christmas on a slice, inventively reinterpreted and executed by Chef Jackie Isanan at Gianetto. The pizza offerings remain a big part of Gianetto&#039;s origins and DNA, but that&#039;s just part of the story. You can expect the same unrestrained creativity with the pasta dishes at Gianetto too like the Sausage &amp; Cherry Tomato Rigatoni. Juicy with bold and pronounced flavors, the Italian sausage gives this dish the flavorful punch complemented by the rich tartness of the fresh and succulent cherry tomatoes on soft yet firm al dente rigatoni pasta draped in a thick tomato vodka sauce capped by luscious and creamy Stracciatella cheese. Fresh and premium ingredients drive all the rich and clean flavors in this rendition for another must-try dish at Gianetto. The popular Creamy Aligue is an homage to local flavors with an indulgent and velvety smooth cream sauce infused with decadent crab fat and shrimps for that deep, savory and rich briny finish. And this pasta dish doesn&#039;t hold back......with each bite teasing the palate with its unapologetic richness. From that first bite, the dish is purposeful in its intent, and that&#039;s pure pleasure. A fresh squeeze of lemon cuts through the the richness preparing your palate for yet another bite. The succulent shrimps then brings a a briny sweetness to the already indulgent dish. You&#039;ll find many variations of this uniquely local pasta in the metro, but Gianetto&#039;s version makes a strong case for being one of the top picks in the dining scene. Inspired by her travels to Thailand, Chef Jackie Isanan recreates the distinctive flavors from the Land of Smiles with the Halibut Lime in Coconut Milk. The buttery and flaky halibut with its delicate notes are complemented and made even richer with smooth coconut milk sauce on a bed of mashed potatoes with cherry tomatoes and French beans with lime. The indulgent savory dish is another masterful play on layered flavors and textures with each ingredient complementing the other for elegant and balanced flavors. The lime tempers the richness of the coconut milk sauce without overpowering the delicate notes of the halibut. The dish is a rich rendition yet delicately nuanced for a light yet satisfying savory main course at Gianetto. The dish is also a reflection of Gianetto&#039;s kitchen&#039;s depth and range in terms of tasty and tempting menu options. For the much anticipated finale at Gianetto, the USDA Prime Ribeye Steak was served to cap the savory holiday feast. This is 500 grams of pure USDA Prime goodness served with seven sides and three condiments like Creamed Spinach, Chicken and Walnut Salad, Mashed Potatoes, Corn &amp; Spinach, French Beans and Mushrooms, Sour Cream Potatoes, Roasted Garlic, Rosemary Truffle Salt, Salt and Chili and Himalayan Salt &amp; Pepper. You can also request for some demi-glace sauce, but the steak is good as is. A pinch of the Rosemary Truffle Salt or the soothing kick of heat from the Salt and Chili is all you need to enjoy the pure beefy and uncluttered flavors of the premium ribeye. Pure, clean and beefy notes, the USDA Prime Ribeye is as good as it looks and the perfect ending to a lavish holiday feast at Gianetto. And it&#039;s exactly how I love my steak, uncluttered by the sauce with just a pinch of salt. The tender beef has just the right bite, releasing a flavorful burst draping the palate. A good slab of beef doesn&#039;t need much, and Gianetto does it right. But the proper ending to a holiday feast at Gianetto is about to be unboxed with the Il Grande Tiramisu. You&#039;ve seen it on social media, you&#039;ve heard hushed whispers of amazement from friends and you&#039;ve been curious ever since. And it&#039;s the total presentation and seamless alignment of indulgence and packaging that makes this holiday treat work. Measuring an impressive 15.7 inches long, the Il Grande Tiramisu is a decadent statement in itself. And with convenient straps built in with the package, it&#039;s the ideal gift for friends and family too. Lifting the top cover reveals the intricately layered dessert stacked with espresso soaked biscuits on the bottom topped with silky smooth and creamy Mascapone and generously dusted with cocoa powder. When you have the perfect packaging and the perfect dessert, how do you get the picture perfect slice? Fortunately, Gianetto has thought of that too. Inside the lid, a clear acrylic slicer is included with each box for that clean straight slice all the time. And that perfect clean slice leads to an indulgent bite. The moist and creamy Il Grande Tiramisu just melts in your mouth releasing decadent bursts of pure Tiramisu bliss on the palate. From the packaging to that first bite, the Il Grande Tiramisu by Gianetto has to be one of the top holiday picks of the season. And it gets better. Skip the mad holiday rush and place your order in advance with the promotional price of P 1,999 versus the regular price of P 2,299 for unbeatable value. And that&#039;s a good deal you just can&#039;t pass up. This holiday season, fill all your potential memories this Christmas with good food shared with family and friends. There will be countless other options, but Gianetto deserves a place on your list. What began in a home-based kitchen six years ago has now blossomed into the culinary mainstream with two brick and mortar locations. It&#039;s a narrative that continues to warm and inspire as we celebrate another season of joy and giving. For Lesley Ngo and Chef Jackie Isanan, the new 2026 Holiday Offerings by Gianetto represents another chapter in their culinary journey. From exquisite bites of the impressive grazing spread to sumptuous pizza, pasta and savory mains to dessert, Gianetto is more than ready to be a part of your story this holiday season...Gianetto is located at the Ground Floor of Maven, Capitol Commons, Oranbo, Pasig, 1605 Metro Manila.

<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/late-breakfast-or-early-lunch-the-brunch-situation-at-the-morning-after-and-antro-kitchen-tap</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ It&#039;s that time of the day when dining options become wide open yet specific in a strange way, that in between day part that often sets the tone for the remainder of the next few hours. And the possibilities are quite endless too, all boiling down to a particular craving. A traditional Full English Breakfast or a juicy slab of steak? That&#039;s when having two restaurant concepts in one spot begins to make a whole of sense. At The Morning After and Antro Kitchen &amp; Tap at Greenhills Mall...That&#039;s right. Simplify the brunch situation at The Morning After and Antro Kitchen &amp; Tap, two concepts with an extensive array of savory options in one convenient spot at Greenhills Mall. A Full English Breakfast and the Argentinian Ribeye Steak? On the way to your table...And it gets better. Enjoy All Day Unlimited Free Coffee (Black or Barako) refills at The Morning After with every dish at The Morning After Menu for that solid caffeine fix. Because a proper brunch is way better with unlimited coffee (for more on The Morning After and Antro Kitchen &amp; Tap, see my posts Satisfy Your Cravings With Comforting Cuisine And Breakfast All Day At The Morning After from July this year and Let&#039;s Talk Tacos. At Antro Kitchen &amp; Tap... from last August). At The Morning After, you can explore global flavors through their local and international Breakfast of the World renditions like the Full English Breakfast (P 475) with grilled English bangers, thin and crisp bacon, grilled tomato, baked beans, sautéed mushrooms, and two eggs done your way with toast. That&#039;s a full meal on a plate any time of day. And it&#039;s a satisfying dish, uncomplicated and hearty plus excellent value too for that perfect in between meal to start or end your day. The Morning After offers Filipino, Asian and Western breakfast offerings to satisfy any appetite, simply follow your craving or breakfast destination anywhere in the world in one cool spot. Still hungry? No worries. Antro Kitchen &amp; Tap has a tempting array of Latin flavors like the Argentinian Ribeye Steak (P 1,285) grilled to your preferred doneness. Let&#039;s do medium rare...The dish includes grilled seasonal fresh vegetables like sweet and smoky peppers, onions, and mushrooms, a generous heap of crisp Shoestring Potatoes for contrasting textures and comforting notes plus a side of Chimichurri for the ribeye. Haven&#039;t seen Shoestring Potatoes in a while, adding a nostalgic touch to your Latin feast. No need to complicate the brunch situation, right? It&#039;s these in-between moments in the day when a sudden craving hits that makes The Morning After and Antro Kitchen &amp; Tap the spot for comforting meals, all day and any day. Late breakfast or early lunch? Easy. Let The Morning After and Antro Kitchen &amp; Tap fix that with their extensive menu...Antro Kitchen &amp; Tap is located at L131 Ground Floor, South Wing, Greenhills Mall, Ortigas Avenue, San Juan City, 1500 Metro Manila. You can also visit their website, FB Page and IG Feed at https://themorningaftergroup.com/, https://www.facebook.com/antro.kitchentapph/ and https://www.instagram.com/antrokitchenph for more information and updates or call 0917 868 9951 for inquiries. Dude for Food is now on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, check out these social media accounts for regular updates on good eats.

<title>Stories From The Vineyards: The South African Table Grape Industry Hosts A South African &amp;quot;Braai&amp;quot; Themed Feast At The Split In BGC</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The rich melting pot of indigenous, European and Asian culinary traditions have shaped and defined South Africa&#039;s diverse cuisine highlighted by the communal braai where a variety of meats and seafood are cooked over an open fire. It&#039;s often said that food travels, and this is true with South African cuisine enriched by diverse influences throughout its history. In a lavish dinner at The Split in BGC, the South African Table Grape Industry (SATI) showcased the many flavors of the Rainbow Nation while sharing the stories of the people and communities behind South African table grapes. One of the world&#039;s celebrated grape growing countries and the top five largest exporter of grapes, South Africa Table Grape Industry (SATI) expands its reach to the Philippine market as it introduces its world-class harvest to the local media and retailers with a festive feast of South African flavors at The Split. The evening highlighted the celebrated &quot;braai&quot; tradition or cooking with wood or charcoal. More than just a cooking method, &quot;braai&quot; is a communal experience centered on a feast prepared with fire. From curry and salads to a savory medley of beef, chicken and seafood cooked over an open pit with wood and charcoal masterfully recreated by Executive Chef Kalel Chan of The Split, the evening offered an insightful peek at the vibrant and diverse cultures from the southern tip of the continent complemented by real stories from the communities behind the one of the world&#039;s largest exporter of grapes. Known for its deep and rich flavors, indulgent fresh sweetness, vibrant color and consistent quality, South African Table Grapes are nurtured by fertile valleys and temperate climate ideal for &quot;the sweet difference&quot; ranking it high up among imported grapes. That evening, representatives from farmers and communities of South Africa&#039;s table grape value chain engaged and shared their stories with guests revealing a human side to one of South Africa&#039;s vital export contributors (for more on the South African Table Grape Industry, see my post Taste The Sweet Difference: From The Southern Tip Of Africa To Your Plate, South Atrican Table Grapes Finally Arrives In Manila from early this year). And these are the stories behind &quot;the sweet difference&quot; built by generations of grape farmers and communities. The evening was graced by Her Excellency Bartinah Ntombizodwa Radebe-Netshitenzhe, South African Ambassador to the Philippines. To drive awareness, the Embassy&#039;s collab with the South African Table Grape Industry (SATI) highlights the critical role and value of key partnerships between South African diplomatic missions and industry organizations in promoting South African products abroad. And the work doesn&#039;t stop until more of the world begins to &quot;taste the sweet difference.&quot; Corporate Executive Chef Kalel Chan from The Raintree Group executed the evening&#039;s lavish feast of South African flavors at The Split. And what a spread, as Executive Chef Kalel Chan takes guests on an immersive deep dive into South Africa&#039;s rich culinary traditions with his renditions (for more on Chef Kalel Chan and The Split, see my posts Four Of A Kind: Four Restaurants In One Cool Spot At The Split In BGC from early April this year and Chotto Matte Picks At The Split: Super California Roll And Truffled US Steak Don  from July). My South African feast at The Split began with a soothing Fresh Fruit Soda......followed by an array of Braai Grilled Vegetable Salad and Potato Dill Salad before the savory mains... ...led by the tempting Spatchcocked Peri-Peri with Peri-Peri Sauce. Fresh off the grill, the tender and juicy chicken with its delicate notes are kicked up by the special blend of spices and subtle smoky hints from the grill. An assortment of the day&#039;s freshest catch including fish, prawns and squid are then kissed and romanced by the fiery charcoal to complement the selection of meats......delivering a clean and briny sweetness enhanced by the sweet and mildly tart apricot orange glaze perfectly finished by a whisper of smokiness for layers of flavors. The fresh catch also included succulent prawns given the fiery &quot;braai&quot; treatment. Then, there&#039;s the Grilled US Certified Angus Beef Prime Ribeye with biltong or South African air-dried cured meat rub. The pronounced and bold notes of the rub add depth to the savory richness of the beef complemented by subtle smoky hints. Complete your braai feast with sides like Chakalaka Beans and Vegetable Stew, mashed potatoes and creamed spinach along with a several varieties of pickled vegetables. The grills remained fired up that evening......with a variety of richly spiced and seasoned meats and seafood for a taste of the &quot;braai&quot; experience. A second round at the buffet spread? Absolutely.And Chef Kalel Chan nails it, from the savory mains complemented by an equally impressive variety of tasty sides at the South African inspired spread of The Split. The communal vibe of the lavish buffet set up recreates the &quot;braai&quot; experience for a proper taste of South Africa&#039;s diverse flavors. Pick up another plate for one more serving of the Grilled US CAB Ribeye with a generous mound of Potato Dill Salad. And Creamed Spinach too. In one memorable evening, the stories of generations behind South Africa&#039;s table grape industry were shared against a backdrop of rich and savory flavors capturing a piece of the colorful tapestry celebrating the Rainbow Nation&#039;s diverse yet tightly knit weave of South African culture. One of my top picks that evening? The Lamb Curry paired with naan, coconut chutney and tomato cucumber salad. The intense notes of the lamb and curry combine for a hearty curry dish for a solid meal. The tomato cucumber salad cuts through the richness for that perfectly balanced finish. They say the best way to appreciate and understand any culture is through its food. That evening, the Rainbow Nation&#039;s colorful tapestry of diverse flavors were celebrated in a sumptuous feast while revealing even more stories behind the people and communities of the vital table grape industry. And the stories of the celebrated harvest continues as it has for generations, now shared throughout the world through the collaborative efforts led by the South African Table Grape Industry (SATI). Have you tasted the sweet difference yet? It&#039;s about time you did...For more on South African Table Grapes, visit their FB Page at https://www.facebook.com/SouthAfricanGrapesPHL and IG Feed at  and https://www.instagram.com/sagrapesphl/ for more information and updates. The Split is located at the Ground Floor, Seven NEO, 5th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, Metro Manila.

<description><![CDATA[ A timeless and enduring symbol blending exquisite grace, beauty and artistic excellence, the iconic eleven-bladed fan emblem representing the core pillars of their service philosophy marks a triumphant return to Manila. Since 1985, the elegant fan has been a symbol of unparalleled service and hospitality among guests and travelers. And you&#039;ve waited long enough. The renowned fan will soon be unfurled and opened once more...The Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila returns to Manila this November 2026 to continue another chapter that began way back in 1976. Everyone has a memorable story from the clean lines of the Leandro Locsin designed brutalist triangular structure back in its heyday. I know I&#039;ve had one too many from Captain&#039;s Bar then. And soon, volumes of new stories will be made at the sleek and contemporary glass and steel facade representing a modern expression of Filipino luxury. The wait will soon be over...At the exclusive preview dubbed &quot;An Evening of Elegance&quot; held at the Manila House Private Members Club in BGC, General Manager Franck Droin shared what guests can expect at the new luxury 5-Star Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila. Long known for its legacy of world-class service and hospitality, the new Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila will feature an impressive inventory of 275 rooms and suites with residential style room layouts, five unique dining concepts and facilities including an 800 square meter dedicated wellness sanctuary, ballrooms and event spaces. The new structure boasts of an exquisite blend of local craftsmanship and architectural innovation aligned with the global aesthetic of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. The Manila House Private Members Club served a tempting array of handcrafted cocktails that evening like the Mojito Granada with dark rum, mint, lime juice, pomegranate and lychee syrup to open up the palate......for a sumptuous feast of Peking Duck wrapped in thin pancakes or steamed buns with hoisin sauce, leeks and cucumber......the Salt-Crusted Lapu-Lapu with creamy aioli, soy sauce, lemon olive oil and pinakurat......and the fork-tender and savory F1 Wagyu Picanha for a lavish taste of things to come. Tasty sides like the Oriental Salad Station and Pineapple Egg Fried Rice rounded up the tempting spread by the Manila House Private Members Club. In between bites, enjoy soothing sips of the Galleon Trade Mocktail with homemade pomelo syrup, rube red grapefruit, calamansi and native Tibuok salt. Another highlight of the evening was the exciting Mid-Autumn Festival Mooncake Dice Game with overnight stays and dining at the new Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila as prizes. The fun-filled evening was just a taste as guests can soon look forward to the formal unfurling of the legendary eleven bladed fan and everything it represents in all its glory at the new Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila.The new Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila is purposefully reimagined for a new generation of guests and travelers as it transforms the ever changing skyline of the Makati CBD once more with its rich tradition and history enhanced by a modern and contemporary vision in step with the times. Stay tuned for more updates on the blog...For more on Mandarin Oriental, you can visit their official website and IG Feed at https://www.mandarinoriental.com/ and https://www.instagram.com/mo_makatimanila/ for more information and updates. Manila House Private Club is located at Seven NEO, 8th Floor, 5th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, Metro Manila. Dude for Food is now on Facebook and Instagram, check out the FB Page, IG Feed, Twitter and YouTube for regular updates on good eats.

Weihenstephan, recognized as the world&#039;s oldest brewery and continuously operating brewery since 1040 brings nearly a thousand years of history and expertise with each chilled and brew-filled glass stein. That evening, the world&#039;s oldest brewery shared two of its signature brews starting with the Weihenstephan Festbier (P 350-300mL/P 550-500mL) considered by many as the official lager of the Oktoberfest with its rich and full-bodied notes and the classic Weihenstephan Weissbier (P 550), a Bavarian wheat beer with its distinctive cloudy finish and vibrant hints of banana and cloves. On tap throughout the festive evening, guests enjoyed their bever empty steins filled with the golden brews from Weihenstephan at Aire³² for a proper Oktoberfest celebration. One more round? Absolutely. Refreshingly crisp with deep full-bodied notes, each soothing sip lingers long on the palate and before long, you&#039;re now into the Oktoberfest groove at Aire³².The ceremonial beer barrel hammer tap performed by The Westin Manila General Manager Alexander Dietzsch and Royal Group Food and Beverage Corporation founder Riko Schachermeyer, the importer and local distributor of Weihenstephan, formally opened the much anticipated annual Bavarian tradition at Aire³².One more round and you&#039;re ready for the Spanish-style bites and tapas by Spanish Chef de Cuisine Alvaro Romero-Abreu Raya...Pair your Weihenstephan Festbier with the Tabla de Embutidos Y Queso (P 1,600), a sampler of Iberico Cold Cuts with chorizo, jamon, olives, peppers, strawberries and Manchego cheese served with pretzels. You can also enjoy the Oktoberfest Combo with one Tabla de Embutidos Y Queso plus two Weihenstephan beers for only P 2,100 from the regular price of P 2,300 for the entire month of October. That&#039;s a pretty good deal for a unique German-Spanish Oktoberfest with impressive views of the Ortigas skyline at Aire³².It&#039;s not a proper Oktoberfest without pretzels. Order up the Brezeln (P 350) with two pieces of Bavarian pretzels with smooth aioli dip for your next round of Weihenstephan Festbier. The mildly chewy bagel like texture of the outer layer with its delicate crispness sprinkled with salt over pillow soft bread gives this pretzel the proper bite best paired with a soothing sip. Chef de Cuisine Alvaro Romero-Abreu Raya then served the next batch of his signature tapas......starting with the Aire³² Fries (P 550) with truffle mayo, Iberico ham gravy and Manchego cheese... ...followed by the Bravawurst (P 400), a sumptuous plate that brings Germany and Spain together in one dish with German Bratwurst and Spanish Bravas potatoes, a dab of mustard and pickled gherkins. The convergence of both German and Spanish flavor cues combine for a festive celebration you can only find at Aire³².Another round, this time with the classic Weihenstephan Weissbier sets up the next batch of offerings from the kitchen...The aptly named Jamon Iberico Bomb is a creative tapas rendition with delicately crisp panipuri shell filled with an indulgently rich creamy center topped with the savory and sharp notes of Spanish Jamon  Iberico. Best enjoyed in one bite, a flavorful burst of creamy richness drapes the palate tempered by the sharp, mildly salty hints from the Jamon Iberico for a delicately balanced finish.It&#039;s exquisite bites like these that give Aire³² its distinctive flair when it comes to flavorful expressions by Chef de Cuisine Alvaro Romero-Abreu Raya. Bavarian beer with Spanish bites makes perfect sense at Aire³² as you prepare for another round of refreshing sips and savory bites. The Torreznos Con Guacamole (P 685) with crisp Spanish Chicharon on housemade guacamole served with sherry pinakurat vinegar is another must-try offering at Aire³². The lightly crisp and airy crunch of the pork belly slabs are complemented by the subtle sweetness of the guacamole for contrasting yet balanced flavors. A dip in the sherry pinakurat vinegar cuts through the savory richness of the crispy pork belly slabs. The Aire³² Nachos (P 850) with Chorizo Iberico, picadillo, smoked cheese sauce, salsa and guacamole brings a festive medley of contrasting flavors and textures that perfect for sharing. The savory sharpness of the Chorizo Iberico are elegantly smoothened by the smoked cheese and guacamole with the salsa adding the finishing touches with its vibrant and fresh notes. The Taco de Gamba Al Ajillo (P 550) with succulent garlic prawns on soft taco with mayonnaise, cilantro, lime aioli and pickled onions is my pick of the evening. Chef de Cuisine Alvaro Romero-Abreu Raya then explained how he enjoys this dish by first snapping the head and squeezing the juices on the special dip. Then, roll up the taco and dip before taking that first bite. And repeat. Prepare for a fresh bite of succulent briny sweetness with the Taco de Gamba Al Ajillo with another round of Weihenstephan Weissbier for that flavorful German-Spanish connection at Aire³².But Chef de Cuisine Alvaro Romero-Abreu Raya isn&#039;t done just yet. For dessert, the Apfelstrudel (P 350) caps your festive Oktoberfest celebration on a sweet note with that rustic indulgence. The German green apple pastry with vanilla ice cream, cinnamon, and honey reduction is the culminating act in a lavish German-Spanish Oktoberfest celebration......along with the Aire³² Churros (P 340) paired with thick Spanish chocolate for a decadent duo of desserts at Aire³². Delicately crisp on the outside and soft inside, a dip in the thick hot chocolate brings comfortingly familiar and even nostalgic notes to the palate. You can now enjoy these and more Oktoberfest offerings at Aire³² for the whole month of October. Designed for social experiences deeply rooted in personal connection and balance, Aire³² is your personal space for memorable moments and celebrations. Including Oktoberfest with that cool Spanish vibe. Book your table in just a few taps and clicks via https://qrco.de/Aire32 and raise a toast to Oktoberfest with a uniquely Spanish flair at Aire³²...Aire32 Bar and Events Venue is located at the top floor, Level 32, of The Westin Manila, San Miguel Avenue corner Lourdes Drive, Ortigas Avenue, Mandaluyong City.

<title>Menya Kokoro Introduces The Limited Time Only White Curry Mazesoba To Welcome The BER Months</title>
<link>https://philippineexaminer.com/menya-kokoro-introduces-the-limited-time-only-white-curry-mazesoba-to-welcome-the-ber-months</link>
<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/menya-kokoro-introduces-the-limited-time-only-white-curry-mazesoba-to-welcome-the-ber-months</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Menya Kokoro draws inspiration from the comforting flavors of rich Japanese curry in celebration of the arrival of the BER months. The newest limited edition seasonal creation reflects the versatility of mazesoba as a hearty base for an infinite variety of flavorful expressions. Like Japanese curry. But take it up a notch with a richer and creamier spin. Meet the new White Curry Mazesoba...The distinctly deep savory notes with just a hint of mild and delicate sweetness and soothing heat never fails to warm the palate with its comforting flavors. Recreated in a bowl of mazesoba noodles, Menya Kokoro offers its own creatively inventive rendition for a proper welcome to the arrival of the BER months with the new White Curry Mazesoba. Richer, creamier, and savory with a velvety smooth finish, Menya Kokoro brings familiar and comforting notes and takes it next level with its rendition of the classic Japanese curry in a bowl of mazesoba. Pure curry indulgence, enjoy your bowl of White Curry Mazesoba at Menya Kokoro available only for a limited time...The continuous roll-out of innovative and creative mazesoba expressions remains a key element in the brand&#039;s identity, and through the years we&#039;ve seen some truly unique creations from the kitchens of Menya Kokoro (for more on Menya Kokoro, see my posts Menya Kokoro Unveils Three New Offerings With The Wagyu A5 Mazesoba, A5 Wagyu Don And Iekei Ramen from late last year, Mazesoba, Yakitori, Kushiyaki, Kushikatsu And Highballs At The Newest Location Of Menya Kokoro Ramen Izakaya In San Juan from April last year, Not Ramen. Not Soba. It&#039;s Mazesoba. Menya Kokoro Presents Two New Mazesoba Creations...from 2025, #MazeCraze: Cool 2 For 1 Mazesoba Deal At Menya Kokoro from early 2024 and #TokyosNumber1Mazesoba: Prepare For A New Ramen Experience By Menya Kokoro Tokyo Mazesoba on the opening from back in 2019). The new White Curry Mazesoba continues this tradition for one more compelling reason to visit Menya Kokoro. Like right now...For its latest creation, Menya Kokoro takes on the classic Japanese curry adding some seriously wicked alchemy making it a luscious, creamier and decadent mazesoba experience. Imagine the deep, bold notes and mild heat of the traditional Japanese curry, made even richer in a creamy white curry. Add tender chicken, potatoes and carrots topped with egg yolk and you have pure and unrestrained savory goodness in a mazesoba bowl. The always busy open kitchen at Menya Kokoro then prepares my order of the new White Curry Mazesoba... Another rainy day calls for the Lemon Sour, a refreshingly crisp alcoholic libation to open up the palate for the bold and unrestrained flavors of the new White Curry Mazesoba...One more soothing sip, and the rainy day blues are replaced by excited anticipation for the new White Curry Mazesoba at Menya Kokoro. Menya Kokoro has a number of savory staples you just can&#039;t pass up. Like their crisp and succulent Tempura. Fresh off the grill Yakitori. And the Gyoza, a constant part of any order list at Menya Kokoro. Soft and mildly chewy on top with a seared and crisp bottom and generously stuffed with a savory pork filling, this is the perfect side to any bowl of mazesoba at Menya Kokoro. Like the new White Curry Mazesoba...Then, the new White Curry Mazesoba (P 520) is ready...Topped with egg yolk, the new White Curry Mazesoba is a bold expression of delicately layered savory richness in a bowl. That intricately whipped lusciously smooth topping is what sets the White Curry Mazesoba apart from the previous limited edition variations at Menya Kokoro for a leveled up rendition of the traditional Japanese curry staple. It brings a lavish textural finish to the mazesoba experience, enhancing the deep flavors of the Japanese curry. And now you can experience Japanese curry unlike any other at Menya Kokoro with the new White Curry Mazesoba for the perfect welcome to the BER months. Made with potatoes and egg whites, the textural play complements the Japanese curry with its savory and smooth finish. The egg yolk is the perfect finishing touch to the White Curry Mazesoba adding that one final layer of indulgent texture to the rich curry flavors of the limited time offering at Menya Kokoro. Simply mix up the bowl and let each layer from the creamy white topping to the savory curry and soft yet firm soba noodles come together before that very first comforting bite......and just let the lingering richness drape the palate with its comforting notes. The intense flavors of the curry comes through with just a whisper of soothing heat tempered by the creamy white topping for balanced flavors. And just like the signature mazesoba at Menya Kokoro, a light drizzle of Konbu Vinegar cuts through the savory richness and you&#039;re ready for another round of tasty bites. The delicate balance of mildly sweet, savory and gentle spice all come together seamlessly in one bite. The curry itself with tender chunks of chicken, potatoes and carrots recreates the traditional staple as the savory base for the new creation. The noodles and creamy white topping complete the textural and flavorful play for a unique mazesoba experience you won&#039;t find anywhere. And as you reach the bottom of the bowl, cap the mazesoba experience with the &quot;oi-meshi&quot; or topping the leftover sauce with a small scoop of rice. The rice absorbs and soaks up the flavors of the curry sauce, released with each spoonful in a flavorful burst. And that&#039;s how you cap your mazesoba experience at Menya Kokoro. Through the years, Menya Kokoro has established relevant and distinctive differentiation from the usual ramen and soba joints in the metro. The gap widens even more with the continuous roll-out of seasonal and limited time creations like the White Curry Mazesoba. An empty bowl tells quite a lot about the new White Curry Mazesoba at Menya Kokoro with no need for words. Now it&#039;s your turn to grab your own bowl of White Curry Mazesoba and rediscover pure Japanese curry goodness reinterpreted in a comforting bowl of mazesoba. But better hurry. The new White Curry Mazesoba is only available for a limited time...Menya Kokoro is located at the 5th Floor, The Podium, ADB Avenue, Mandaluyong, Metro Manila. You can also visit their FB Page and IG Feed at https://www.facebook.com/menyakokoroph/ and https://www.instagram.com/menyakokoroph/ for more information and updates or call 277586493 for inquiries. Dude for Food is now on Facebook and Instagram, check out the FB Page and IG Feed for regular updates on good eats.

<description><![CDATA[ An inspired menu driven by the freshest premium ingredients becomes the foundation for another creative collaboration at Flavors Restaurant in Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati. From down south in Tagaytay, Chef Christopher Tamayo of Textures by Tamayo&#039;s shared his culinary philosophy executed in a lavish six-course feast at the excusive preview. And soon, guests and diners can savor the flavors of a modern expression of Filipino cuisine in a sumptuous buffet spread at Flavors Restaurant...Flavors and textures in a seamless and intricate weave, Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati brings pure and clean notes in a contemporary expression of fresh local produce and ingredients. Flavors Restaurant of Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati unveils an exciting new buffet spread made with the freshest harvest in a collaboration with Chef Christopher Tamayo of Tagaytay&#039;s Textures by Tamayo&#039;s for an elegant celebration of modern Filipino cuisine dubbed as &quot;Beyond The Filipino Table: A Modern Culinary Showcase.&quot; And for a limited time, guests and diners can experience this refreshed expression of pure flavors and textures at the buffet spread of Flavors Restaurant from October 5 to October 11, 2026. Read on for a tasty preview...Culinary collaborations are part of the continuous creative process at Flavors Restaurant, and this is celebrated with another edition with Beyond The Filipino Table featuring Chef Chris Tamayo of Tagaytay&#039;s Textures by Tamayo&#039;s. The collaborative process not only offers the exchange of culinary ideas but a refreshed perspective soon to be reinterpreted at the buffet spread of Flavors Restaurant (for more on Flavors Restaurant and Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati, see my previous posts Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati Celebrates A Decade Of Joy With Special Deals And Offers from 2023, The Perfect Start: Breakfast At Flavors Restaurant Of Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati also from three years back, Pancakes, Waffles And Rustic Mornings At Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati&#039;s Flavors Restaurant from 2018 and Poke Bowl Days at Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati also from 2018). The collaboration also highlights a shared advocacy for the farm-fresh ingredients and produce complementing the sumptuous buffet spread of Flavors Restaurant. At Flavors Restaurant, the convergence of two parallel philosophies result in a progressive and contemporary interpretation of inspired cuisine. Chef Christopher Tamayo of Textures by Tamayo shares his approach to cuisine with a focus on flavor, texture, balance and presentation while Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati&#039;s Executive Sous Chef Dexter Sagales enhances the new menu with Flavors Restaurant&#039;s signature Modern Comfort philosophy. The collaboration, built on a shared vision, becomes a refreshed canvas reinterpreting ingredients and traditions with exquisite execution, refined culinary technique, insightful and thoughtful storytelling anchored on a commitment to the finest locally sourced produce. This fusion of philosophies and expertise is creatively expressed with a new menu to supplement the wide array of buffet offerings at Flavors Restaurant. And going Beyond The Filipino Table means sourcing the freshest ingredients straight from the farms.That mean ordering fresh milk by 8:00 pm in the evening so the cows can be milked by 5:00 am the next morning and delivered straight to the kitchen for the preparation of fresh cheeses to be used in the new menu. Expect a much more refined execution of exquisite dishes enhanced by fresh local produce at the buffet spread of Flavors Restaurant. Flavors Restaurant kicks off your dining experience with the refreshing Tamarind High Noon with its distinctive sweet and sour notes to open up the palate. And yes, you&#039;ll want another...That evening, the premium dry sparkling wine, Spagnole Col del Sad Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut NV opened up the formal tasting preview at Flavors Restaurant. A soothing sip of the dry sparkling wine brings refreshingly crisp note to the palate, setting the tone for the evening&#039;s feast. &quot;This collaboration reflects our commitment to create memorable dining experiences by bringing together diverse culinary perspectives and fresh ideas. We are excited to work with Chef Christopher Tamayo and the team behind Textures by Tamayo&#039;s to showcase a contemporary interpretation of Filipino cuisine that celebrates both innovation and authenticity,&quot; shared Andy Belmonte, General Manager of Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati. Chef Christopher Tamayo knows food, involved in the family&#039;s catering business since childhood and trained at the renowned Culinary Institute of America. He also helmed the kitchen of the Golden State Warriors alongside Chef Tyler Florence adding to his extensive experience. Today, Chef Christopher Tamayo manages the family&#039;s business including Textures by Tamayo, Sibol Manila and Cafe Intramuros. &quot;We work hand-in-hand with local farmers from Silang and Tagaytay like what we do in California because one, we want to be sustainable and two, we want to help local communities and three, they have the best ingredients because it&#039;s very fresh,&quot; shared Chef Christopher Tamayo. This farm fresh centric approach to flavor defines Chef Christopher Tamayo&#039;s philosophy and the foundation for his culinary renditions at Textures by Tamayo&#039;s in Tagaytay and the new menu offerings at the buffet spread of Flavors Restaurant. And this fits in with the Modern Comfort dining concept of Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati perfectly. Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati&#039;s Director of Food &amp; Beverage Danner Barbasa also emphasized that the collaboration began with the idea exploring diverse perspectives and weaving it with the Modern Comfort concept of Flavors Restaurant. The collaboration with Chef Christopher Tamayo is more than just another guest chef feature, it&#039;s a dynamic platform for the exchange of ideas, broadening culinary mindsets and approaches, and the continuously evolving restaurant offerings through meaningful and relevant partnerships. For the first course in the new menu by Chef Christopher Tamayo for the Flavors Restaurant collab, Tagaytay&#039;s famous farm fresh produce takes the spotlight with the colorful Beets and Citrus, a refreshing salad with House Carabao Ricotta, Mandarin and Herb Crumble. Freshness is flavor, pure, fresh and clean notes from the subtle sweetness of the beets to the creamy texture of the House Carabao Ricotta to the bright citrus hints of the Mandarin. The first of six courses in the evening&#039;s tasting preview, it&#039;s an impressive opening act in a lavish tasting menu where each ingredient and each note and contrasting texture builds layers of flavors consistent with Chef Christopher Tamayo&#039;s approach for a delicately balanced and refined finish with every bite. For the second course, the Le Vigne Winery Chardonnay Paso Robles 2022 was served......paired with the Wild Mushroom, a comforting soup dish with Shimeji, Enoki and Black Pepper Cream. The fresh mushrooms deliver the familiar deep, earthy notes followed by the grainy velvety smooth texture and subtle sharpness from the Black Pepper Cream for that delicate balance. Each soothing sip warms the palate with its lingering richness and perfectly balanced play on flavors. Masterful execution and the finest ingredients combine for another meticulously crafted expression of pure and unrestrained flavors with the fourth course, the Salmon with corn reduction, Gremolata and fresh chives. Beautifully plated, the culinary style of Chef Christopher Tamayo comes through driven by freshness and the quality of each ingredient. The sweetness of the corn perfectly complements the buttery richness of the salmon in an elegant rendition of delicately subtle notes. The gentle whisper of sharpness from the Gremolata and fresh chives add a balanced contrast to the dish, perfectly washed down by the refreshing Spanish white wine, Bodegas Piqueras White Label 2023. Then, Chef Christopher Tamayo adds familiar flavors in his medley of crafted renditions with the California Roasted Chicken served family style with Brassica Puree Duo made with cauliflower and broccoli, lemon and olive oil paired with Le Vigne Winery Chardonnay Paso Robles 2022. The flavors are hearty, rustic, uncomplicated and honest. The smooth Brassica Puree Duo of cauliflower and broccoli is the perfect &quot;gravy&quot; complementing without overpowering the delicate notes of the juicy roasted chicken reflecting that flavorful balance with the freshest ingredients by Chef Christopher Tamayo. Each bite brings a comforting and even nostalgic familiarity proving once more that food never really is just about food. It&#039;s about memories and reconnection transporting you to a different place and time. For the fifth and final savory course, Chef Christopher Tamayo served his Lamb Shoulder with brown butter jus and salsa verde on creamy polenta. Paired with a bold red, the Bodegas Piqueras VS 2018, the fifth course is another picture perfect execution of exquisite balanced flavors and fresh ingredients. The fork-tender Lamb Shoulder drapes the palate with a savory richness with each bite, made even more intense by the brown butter jus. The fresh notes of the salsa verde cuts through the richness while the polenta absorbs the different flavors from the different components of the dish. Execution, and the finest ingredients makes this dish one more definitive example of Chef Christopher Tamayo&#039;s culinary style fitting in perfectly with the Modern Comfort concept of Flavors Restaurant. And from October 5 to October 11, guests and diners of Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati can enjoy these exquisite dishes as part of the buffet spread at Flavors Restaurant.For dessert, Chef Christopher Tamayo caps his sumptuous feast with the Dragon Fruit Pavlova with indulgent whipped cream, balsamic compressed dragon fruit, meringue shards and Maldon Sea Salt paired with Hacienda Libalis Semidulce 2024. It&#039;s the perfect ending to a lavish feast showcasing meticulous execution with farm fresh ingredients. And this is one more story at Flavors Restaurant with many more yet to come. &quot;We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of this collaboration, from our culinary teams and partners to the members of the media who joined us for the experience. This collaboration exemplifies the kind of storytelling and culinary innovation we hope to continue championing, and we are excited for what&#039;s ahead for Flavors Restaurant,&quot; shared Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Makati&#039;s Director of Marketing Communications Jehan Balbanero. The limited time offering perfectly captures the spirit of collaboration with two culinary visions in a tightly knit and seamless weave celebrating the individuality, creativity, craftsmanship and culinary visions of Chefs Christopher Tamayo and Dexter Sagales.

<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/next-level-buffet-dining-reimagined-the-vikings-group-transforms-the-buffet-dining-experience-once-more-with-the-opening-of-nyx-at-opus-mall</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Ever since the buffet dining concept was introduced in the early seventies by the pioneers in the local restaurant scene, it&#039;s remained by far the most popular dining format in the metro. More than just variety and value, the format reflects the intrinsic celebratory nature of many Filipinos while offering some flexibility to accommodate a wide range of preferences in large groups. And the format still tops the list virtually unchanged since it was first introduced in the early seventies. But everything changed when The Viking Group disrupted the dining landscape with their novel and elevated take on the buffet dining concept and the opening of NYX at Opus Mall...Since 2011, the Viking Group has been redefining the buffet dining experience with its innovative and next level take on the popular dining format. By building on the variety and value equation, the Vikings Group has democratized its high-end luxury buffet experience with its hotel style spread at affordable price points. And so far, it&#039;s been a successful business model. But the Vikings Group is about to rock the local restaurant scene once more with the opening of the second location of NYX at Opus Mall. The second location is more than just an elevated spin on the buffet dining concept, it&#039;s a bold statement by the Vikings Group as it transforms buffet dining once more...Located east of the metro at the new Opus Mall, NYX by the Vikings Group is right at the heart of an emerging and vibrant commercial hub soon to become one of the city&#039;s top dining destinations. NYX is the culmination of years built around best practices and continuous innovation that&#039;s changing and challenging the conventional buffet dining narrative seamlessly woven with thoughtful design, technology, meticulous culinary execution and the pure pleasure of dining in a refined and elegant expression. Value and variety remain at the core of the experience, but NYX takes it up a notch for a unique experience. The elegant color palette takes inspiration from the Greek goddess of the night with its understated yet luxurious renderings of black and gold, flowing organic forms and striking celestial visual cues throughout the space. &quot;We wanted to create somethings that is truly grand, while remaining welcoming and enjoyable for every kind of occasion,&quot; shared Vikings Group CEO Jackson Go. &quot;NYX is about giving guests the freedom to explore, indulge and create their own experience.&quot; And it is this vision that dramatically sets NYX apart from the usual buffet options, from its vast array of tempting options specificaclly curated to pleasantly overwhelm the senses to the service and design in one flawless execution. And soon you&#039;ll find out why NYX is in a class all its own even exceeding other buffet options with much higher price points. The space is designed to impress even before that first bite or plate. And NYX sets both the mood and tone for what they describe as &quot;a gastronomic experience.&quot; It&#039;s a lofty promise, but years of experience in the buffet dining game have made the Vikings Group a formidable player in the local restaurant industry. A quick look at the numbers places NYX on the higher end of the scale, but dig deeper into the math and it all comes down to real value that&#039;s hard to beat with the extensive variety of premium items on the spread. Imagine Jamon Iberico, Salmon Gravlax, Foie Gras, and Beijing Duck as just some of your tempting options at NYX. And if it&#039;s your birthday, you can enjoy a value-packed offer to make your celebration even more memorable at NYX. More than just an expansive food hall, NYX is a grand stage showcasing the masterful culinary performances at each of the different stations of the elegant space. To better appreciate the sheer scale  and volume of the impressive repertoire of culinary offerings at NYX, let&#039;s take a virtual tour...Open up the palate with the cocktail offerings of NYX for a pre-dinner tipple as you plan and formulate your strategy of attack on the buffet spread. The display of Flavored Oils is already a good sign, designed to complement and enhance the flavorful richness of each dish with the kitchen&#039;s creations of Umami Oil and Herb Oil......along with Flavored Salts like Lemon Pepper Salt, premium Maldon Flaky Sea Salt, and Italian Herb Salt......and Flavored Butter including the signature NYX Steak Butter, Shallot &amp; Worcestershire Butter and Roasted Seaweed Butter. Then, another layer to your buffet dining experience is revealed the moment you take your seat where your table number becomes your passcode to unlock the many culinary possibilities at NYX. Innovative touches like the &quot;Scan, Order, Indulge&quot; lets you conveniently explore additional a la carte selections without leaving your table. Your order will be served to your table, for a feature you won&#039;t find in the usual, crowded and hectic buffet situation. At NYX, you can sit back and relax, and enjoy your buffet feast at your own pace with just a few clicks and taps on your mobile device. Each station is also equipped with LCD screens where you can simply punch in your order without the need to wait in line. Consistent with the aim of elevating your buffet dining experience, NYX effortlessly weaves technology into the equation designed to enhance the next level buffet experience. This modern wireless technology assisted innovation gives you more time to explore the different stations at NYX, like the Fresh Seafood Station with the day&#039;s freshest catch from succulent prawns......to an assortment of fresh shellfish and other seafood. Here you can customize your fresh catch prepared just the way you like it. Garlic and butter? Yes, please...Then, the premium selections like Salmon Gravlax catches your eye. At NYX, the extensive buffet selection recreates that luxurious hotel quality buffet experience. Did you say sushi? NYX rolls out a sumptuous fresh medley of intricate hand-rolled renditions made with the finest seafood. From the succulent briny sweetness of the Tuna Aburi......the clean and sweet notes of the Kani Nigiri......the pure fresh flavors of the Tako Sushi made with octopus......to the King Fish Aburi or tanigue, NYX teases your appetite with each step along the different stations. As you return to your table with your fresh haul of sushi......your order of assorted sashimi is served. The usual buffet dining experience can be an extremely stressful and hectic affair with endless crowds and long queues. Not at NYX. This was probably my most relaxed and stress-free buffet experience yet. You can also order up some special dishes at NYX via the QR Code......from the impressive spread of fresh seafood. Simply tap in your order and relax......and enjoy the evening&#039;s live musical performance. Then, pick up the pace with your comforting bowl of noodles prepared a la minute at the station...Beef Noodles, Pork Wanton Noodles, Chicken Noodles, or Seafood Ramen? My pick? The savory Duck Satay Polonchay Noodles in a light yet flavorful broth just hits all the right notes. For the mains, indulge in a savory selection like Steamed Grouper with White Sauce......the Braised Mushroom with Broccoli with its lingering and deep earthy, nutty notes......the delectable play on contrasting textures with the Crispy Meatballs......the buttery melt-in-your-mouth finish of the Pork Tongpo with Quail Egg......and the Shrimp Wok Garlic Chili to begin your feast in that elegant NYX style. And that&#039;s just the proverbial tip of the iceberg at NYX. There&#039;s the Dim Sum Station for those in between nibbles for even more options served fresh off the steamer to your table. Ready for the second round? The Beijing Duck Wraps are a good way to resume your feast of savory mains at NYX......along with the delicate yet decadent notes of the Seabass Confit......the tender Short Ribs Marbella with its rich sauce made with red wine and aromatics......the Corned Beef with slabs of fork-tender brined beef... ...the classic and traditional rustic flavors of the Chicken Au Poivre......and the juicy Moroccan Meatballs with its rich herbal and tangy hints. Like they say, a good and proper buffet feast takes you around the world and NYX lets you enjoy your tasty journey in style. Nostalgic and comforting Filipino flavors are also showcased at NYX with the festively familiar Lechon de Leche, plated and served to your table......and one of my personal picks that evening, the Braised Oxtail and Ox Tongue Kare-Kare. You&#039;ll definitely want some steamed white rice and an extra dab of bagoong or fermented shrimp paste with this tasty number at NYX. Braised for hours, the oxtail and ox tongue combine for a lavish take on a classic staple with that elevated NYX flair. Refresh yourself with the free-flowing line-up of fresh beverages like the Tropical Elixir, the Cucumber Haze with cucumber lemonade and basil, the sweet Sugarcane Splash with lemon, the calamansi-based Starlit and Atmosphere with dalandan and soda water. You can also opt for some inventive and soothing Mocktails like the Rise and Shine with jasmine tea, raspberry, elderflower and lemon and resume your third round at the buffet spread......with savory dishes like the Slow-Roasted Pork Belly with its delicately crisp layer of crackling best paired with the Italian Style Herb Oil and Garlic Confit......the hearty Boneless Roasted Chicken paired with roasted potatoes......and the Oven-Baked Salmon with a creamy, silky smooth and buttery sauce kicked up by vibrant herb and lemon hints.Using the QR Code, you can also order specialty dishes from the Premium Selection (P 500) of NYX like the Foie Gras, US Scallops, Beef Wellington, and Hokkaido Oysters in just a few clicks. I go for the Lobster grilled in garlic and butter and served with a bowl of Lobster Bisque and extra Garlic Butter Sauce. You can also enjoy your Lobster baked with cheese, boiled in a brioche bun or wok-fried with sweet chili sauce. Clearly, NYX transforms the buffet dining concept with exquisite touches like these. A short walk takes you to even more premium selections like the Jamon Iberico......on the way to the Grill Station where a freshly grilled steak prepared to your designed doneness await with other tempting options......like the Leg of Lamb......and the tender and juicy Roast Beef. Prepared a la minute, your order from the grill is served to your table. And that means you have some time for another plate of Slow-Roasted Pork Belly......as the Leg of Lamb is served with a dab of mint jelly. The overall pacing makes buffet dining a leisurely experience without the rush which already is a plus in my book as compared to the usual buffet options. The Steak is perfectly grilled to medium rare with a juicy pink center. NYX also offers a variety of steak sauces and sides. But I recommend the NYX Steak Butter for this plate. Or Maybe just a pinch of Maldon Flaky Sea Salt. Did I mention they also have Pizza and Pasta too, like the Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza? Consistent with its refined take on buffet dining, NYX also offers exquisite &quot;small plates&quot; displayed under clear glass cloches like the Tiger Prawn with Yakimono Butter, Wagyu Beef Plate, Tori Miso Yaki, Grilled Sea Bass with Burnt Tomato Relish and succulent Crab Bun. Cakes and pastries for dessert? NYX has that covered too. And for dessert, the options are just as impressive as the savory spread with tempting Macarons, Chocolate Truffles, Eclairs, Madeleines and bite-size Bonbons.......to seasonal Fresh Fruits served in bowls......and homemade Gelato too. Your concluding therapy of indulgence comes in a triple scoop dose of pure Gelato goodness at NYX. Buffet dining back then meant only limited, low cost and low variety options to upscale and expensive hotel spreads. The Vikings Group always challenged the conventional approach when it launched the first of many Vikings locations a decade ago. And the Vikings Group continues to challenge this traditional approach by elegantly scaling up the buffet experience with its extensive spread constantly pushing baseline expectations. Weaving elegant design to transform the space to set the mood and vibe while reconnecting with the intrinsic love for festive celebrations around sumptuous feasts among Filipinos, the Vikings Group recalculates the math for an elevated value and variety equation. The Vikings Group changes the game once more as it reimagines the buffet dining experience with its latest concept, NYX at Opus Mall. With a seating capacity of well over 300 diners, NYX at Opus Mall is poised to become the dining destination east of Manila for intimate dinner, family celebrations and gatherings or corporate events complemented by a private dining room. A far cry from the early pioneering buffet dining establishments, NYX may very well be the ultimate expression of the perfect buffet dining experience. Experience the NYX difference yourself, now open at Opus Mall. NYX is located at the 3rd Floor, Opus Mall, Bridgetowne Destination Estate, Brgy. Ugong Norte, Quezon City.

<description><![CDATA[ When a passionate advocate for traditional Zambasulta cuisine and Michelin Bib Gourmand chef gets together with a family from Zamboanga whose name remains an enduring part of the southern city&#039;s culinary tapestry, you just know this will be a day like no other. Prepare to feast with the real flavors of the south...The sixth edition in a continuing culinary series, the Philippine Heritage Kitchen led by a staunch advocate for preserving Filipino traditions Chef Reggie Aspiras in cooperation with the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos-Public Information (NCMF) and the Bureau of Muslim Economic Affairs (BMEA) in partnership with CCA Manila, presents Kanduli: Grand Halal Food Festival at The Glasshouse of New World Makati Hotel revealing yet another colorful layer in the rich and diverse weave of Filipino cuisine. Driven with the aim of showcasing Filipino cuisine, one region and province at a time, the Philippine Heritage Kitchen adds one more flavorful chapter in a journey defining the Filipino dining table with its latest edition on Mindanaoan cuisine. Read on for a tasty and vibrant peek at the indulgent flavors from deep, down south...Dining at the table is a communal experience meant to strengthen bonds and should remain inclusive. Chef Reggie Aspiras of Philippine Heritage Kitchen is a passionate champion of Filipino culinary tradition, an advocacy that&#039;s taken her high up north to down south in a personal journey of the Filipino flavor experience. From the first edition to its latest chapter, the Philippine Heritage Kitchen traced the regional flavors that make up the colorful diversity of Filipino cuisine starting with the cuisine of the north (see more on The Filipino Story On A Plate: Acclaimed Chef Reggie Aspiras And CCA Manila Brings Traditional Local Flavors To BGC At The Launch Of The Philippine Heritage Kitchen from early April this year), the origins of the now iconic sisig of Pampanga (more on my post, From Salad To Sizzling: Retracing The Origins Of Pampanga&#039;s Sisig And Its Place In The Filipino Culinary Experience At The Sisig Festival By The Philippine Heritage Kitchen And CCA Manila from June this year), the vibrant flavors of Malabon (see my post, Once Upon A Time In Malabon: The Philippine Heritage Kitchen And CCA Manila Unveil The Flavors Of Malabon At The Glasshouse Of New World Makati Hotel from July this year), the mystical allure and flavors of Sagada (more on my post, A Foraged Feast: Philippine Heritage Kitchen And CCA Manila Presents A Forest Table Of Sagada At The Glasshouse Of New World Makati Hotel from July this year), and the wide variety of rice cake delicacies from around the vast archipelago (see my post, Learn. Shop. And Indulge. At The Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South By Chef Reggie Aspiras Of The Philippine Heritage Kitchen And CCA Manila from last August). Now, the Philippine Heritage Kitchen takes you to the deep south long shrouded in a mysterious veil with the Grand Halal Food Festival at The Glasshouse in New World Makati Hotel...Like all previous editions, the Philippine Heritage Kitchen leads a multi-sectoral coalition from local government, culinary icons and the academe to mount the Kanduli: The Grand Halal Food Festival at The Glasshouse of New World Makati Hotel. Both the scale and scope of the festival are impressive, with the Philippine Heritage Kitchen harnessing the talents and creativity of the south&#039;s finest for another chapter in its on-going story of the Filipino table. Joining Chef Reggie Aspiras for the Kanduli: The Grand Halal Food Festival are Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient Chef Miguel &quot;Miggy&quot; Cabel Moreno of Palm Grill and Cabel known for its authentic renditions of Southern Mindanaoan cuisine and Chef Jose Mari Miguel Alavar Alfaro, third generation owner of Zamboanga&#039;s enduring Alavar Restaurant. Headlining the stellar and sumptuous cast of savory dishes from the south are the famous Alavar Curacha con Salsa de Alavar with succulent deep sea spanner crabs simmered in indulgently rich and spicy coconut cream and crab fat paste synonymous with Zamboanga&#039;s Alavar Restaurant...This is the dish that catapulted Alavar Restaurant to the very top of Zamboanga&#039;s restaurant scene for decades forever becoming one of the many symbols of the region&#039;s culinary diversity and richness. Draped and simmered in the now legendary sauce, the delicate briny sweetness of the spanner crabs are perfectly complemented by the deep, bold and savory notes of the Alavar Sauce. Alavar Restaurant also showcased their other signature specialties like the Slipper Tail Lobster with Blanca Sauce with plump local &quot;pitik&quot; in lusciously smooth and creamy white sauce. Defined by geography and a bountiful coastline, fresh seafood plays a significant role in Zamboanga&#039;s culinary traditions beautifully captured and interpreted on a plate by Alavar Restaurant. Fresh flavors in the form of Mangga Con Huevos Salad with sweet and tart mangoes, tomatoes, red onions, and salted egg cleansed the palate preparing you for another round of Southern Mindanaoan flavors at the Kanduli: The Grand Halal Food Festival at The Glasshouse of New World Makati Hotel. Then, Alavar Restaurant treated guests with the decadent savory richness of Locon with Curry Sauce with large, fresh local prawns cooked in a rich and thick sauce perfect with a side of steamed white rice. Established way back in 1978 anchored on their cherished heirloom recipe for the now famous Alavar Sauce with its rich blend of coconut milk, crab fat and local spices transforming the local curacha or spanner crab into an iconic dish representing Zamboanga&#039;s fresh and vibrant flavors, Alavar Restaurant continues to be the top dining destination in the &quot;City of Flowers.&quot; Chef Miguel &quot;Miggy&quot; Cabel Moreno shared his renditions of Zambasulta cuisine with two of his popular dishes from the Michelin Bib Gourmand Palm Grill and Cabel led by the Pianggang Manok with tender and juicy chicken braised and grilled in a rich paste of charred coconut and spices......and the Beef Kurma, a southern Mindanaoan style beef curry slow-cooked coconut milk and spices. These are the flavors of Chef Miggy&#039;s childhood, recreating cherished family recipes at his restaurants, Palm Grill and Cabel (for more on Palm Grill, see my posts Green Chicken And Good Vibes: Discover Mindanaoan Flavors At Palm Grill from 2017 and High Five: Celebrating Five Years Of Zambasulta Cuisine From The Deep South At Palm Grill from 2022). For Chef Miggy, it&#039;s been a remarkable journey capped by the Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition for both Palm Grill and Cabel early this year, but the story doesn&#039;t end just yet. Chef Miggy is committed to showcase the flavors of his roots in the competitive and cluttered culinary landscape of the metro and you can expect to hear more from the passionate and driven chef. Chef Miggy also served his popular Knickerbocker, a rich and indulgent version of halo-halo from Zamboanga with fresh fruits, jelly and ice cream......alongside a tempting array of local delicacies like Biaki or steamed corn rice cakes wrapped in corn husk, Putli Mandi or steamed glutinous rice balls sprinkled with freshly grated coconut, and Lokot-Lokot or the crisp and sweet lace-like treat made from glutinous rice flour deep-fried to golden brown perfection. As with previous editions by the Philippine Heritage Kitchen, a market component featuring local produce and products from Mindanao brings even more flavors to the Grand Halal Food Festival at New World Makati......including Alavar Restaurant&#039;s signature sauces and products. And the Philippine Heritage Kitchen brings the flavors from down south to Manila with another successful edition in a continuing series showcasing Filipino flavors, one region and dish at a time. Another much-anticipated component in the culinary series by the Philippine Heritage Kitchen are the cooking demos led by Alavar Restaurant and CCA Manila. Jose Mari Miguel Alavar Alfaro and his culinary team from Alavar Restaurant even hand-carried the fresh seafood from Zamboanga for the sumptuous buffet spread and cooking demo. That afternoon, Chef Jose Mari Miguel Alavar Alfaro prepared some of Alavar Restaurant&#039;s popular seafood dishes......like the Alavar Arroz de la Mar with the day&#039;s fresh catch simmered in Alavar Restaurant&#039;s signature seafood oil on rice. The rice absorbs all the flavors from the various seafood made even richer by the seafood oil for a hearty and sumptuous bowl of comforting goodness from down south. The clean briny sweetness of the fresh seafood delivers all the the flavors, complemented by the secret ingredient. The specialty seafood oil made from grilled cod drippings and special spice blend ties everything together in a masterful and flavorful weave.The Chavacano Paella Negra with fresh seafood and Alavar Restaurant&#039;s special squid ink oil is another seafood feast in a bowl with its deep, briny, nutty and umami-packed notes. Then, Chef Jose Mari Miguel Alavar Alfaro prepared the final batch of seafood dishes......complemented by the seafood oil to complete the flavors. When you have the freshest seafood, plus the secret ingredient like the seafood oil of Alavar Restaurant, preparing memorable dishes is easy as demonstrated by Chef Jose Mari Miguel Alavar Alfaro and his team. And soon, you don&#039;t have to fly down south to Zamboanga to enjoy these seafood delicacies. Alavar Restaurant will be opening a restaurant in the metro by March 2027, so keep an eye out for that. CCA Manila also announced its new certificate courses on Halal cuisine as part of its continuing commitment to culinary education......with a cooking demonstration led by Certified Halal Chef Hannah Yasmin E. Usman-Yang with simple everyday dishes made Halal......like the Sinigang na Ulang with large river prawns......along with other Filipino staples like Chicken Adobo with Liver, Beef Chorizo and Beef Cocido to round out the day&#039;s cooking demos. Congratulations to the Philippine Heritage Kitchen and CCA Manila for lifting the veil once more on the rich tapestry of Filipino flavors with another successful edition in a continuing culinary series. They say it takes a village to mount a comprehensive program as ambitious as the culinary series by the Philippine Heritage Kitchen. And we&#039;ll see even more collaborative and multi-sectoral efforts soon in the on-going campaign championing Filipino cuisine in all its richness and diversity. Everyone&#039;s welcome at the table, now where will the Philippine Heritage Kitchen and CCA Manila take you next? Cebu&#039;s heritage cuisine is up next on the pipeline...For more on the Philippine Heritage Kitchen, you can view their IG Feed at https://www.instagram.com/phheritagekitchen/ for more information and updates. For more on CCA Manila, you can visit their FB Page and IG Feed for more updates on course offerings at https://www.facebook.com/ccamanila/ and https://www.instagram.com/ccamanila/ The Glasshouse is located at New World Makati Hotel, Esperanza Street corner Makati Avenue, Ayala Center, Makati City, Metro Manila. Dude for Food is now on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, check out these social media accounts for regular updates on good eats.

<title>Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Sets By Renowned Japanese Yakiniku Master Chef Masahiku Kodama at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining in Ortigas</title>
<link>https://philippineexaminer.com/breakfast-lunch-and-dinner-sets-by-renowned-japanese-yakiniku-master-chef-masahiku-kodama-at-ginza-modern-japanese-dining-in-ortigas</link>
<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/breakfast-lunch-and-dinner-sets-by-renowned-japanese-yakiniku-master-chef-masahiku-kodama-at-ginza-modern-japanese-dining-in-ortigas</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ What&#039;s cookin&#039; at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining in Ortigas? Two things you should know. First, acclaimed Japanese Yakiniku Master Chef Masahiku Kodama is back in town with a special menu. And second, did you know Ginza Modern Japanese Dining now offers breakfast? That&#039;s right, that&#039;s even more reasons to visit Ginza Modern Japanese Dining for breakfast, lunch or dinner...Long known for its exquisite renditions of Japanese cuisine, Ginza Modern Japanese Dining raises the bar once more with the sumptuous Lunch and Dinner Teishoku Sets by celebrated Japanese Yakiniku Master Chef Masahiku Kodama featuring his specialty grilled chicken skewers and more. And for early risers, Ginza Modern Japanese Dining now offers breakfast from Mondays to Fridays starting at 7:00 am to 10:00 am with a lavish selection of Japanese style breakfast options. Bringing the best from Japan to Manila is what sets Ginza Modern Japanese Dining apart from the rest. There&#039;s a lot cookin&#039; at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining in Ortigas for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Read on for a tasty peek...The local Japanese dining scene is extremely competitive and cluttered, yet Ginza Modern Japanese Dining stands out as a top destination with its well-curated menu and exceptional dishes made more special with visiting Japanese chefs offering diners a rare taste of Japan&#039;s finest (see more on my previous post, Ginza Japanese Restaurant x Kurobuta Tonkatsu Horiichi: From Tokyo To Manila, Acclaimed Michelin Bib Gourmand Chef Hironobu Horiuchi Brings His Signature Tonkatsu To Ginza Japanese Restaurant In Ortigas from June early this year). For its latest edition in a continuing series, Chef Masahiku Kodama is the featured attraction at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining at Ortigas. Now the chef-in-residence, Chef Masahiku Kodama will be offering his famous grilled chicken skewers at more accessible price points. Known as the chef behind the popular Michelin recognized Yakitori Masakichi in Tokyo, Chef Masahiku Kodama was also featured in David Chang&#039;s widely praised Ugly Delicious, an award-winning TV Series on Netflix. But first, some refreshing libations and the Azuki Shake (P 200) made with red beans is uniquely satisfying with its sweet and deep earthy and nutty notes to open up the palate. Ginza Modern Japanese Dining also offer fresh Avocado, Mango and Watermelon Shakes. In between refreshing sips, the kitchen of Ginza Modern Japanese Dining presented one of their signature starters. The Nihon Kaki Motoyaki (P 500-3 pcs) or torched Japanese oysters topped with house blend miso mayo teases the palate with its delicate yet indulgent savory richness. The plump and succulent Japanese oyster delivers a fresh, clean briny sweetness with subtle hints of smoky notes, perfectly finished by the creamy and silky smooth miso mayo for contrasting yet balanced flavors. It&#039;s a great start to your dining experience at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining...Then, Chef Masahiku Kodama&#039;s lunch exclusive teishoku set is served. Available from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm all week from Monday to Sunday, the Lunch Teishoku Sets (P 1,150) by Chef Masahiku Kodama at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining come in four tempting options including the Soborodon Set with ground chicken, spinach, and egg over rice, the Yakitori Don Set with a variety of unskewered grilled chicken specialties like ground chicken and boneless wings on rice, and the Kodama Ramen Set with chashudon. I go for the Yakitori Platter Set...  ...with Momo or chicken thighs, Tsukune or ground chicken meatballs, Kawa or grilled and crisp chicken skin, Bonjiri or chicken tail, and the Grilled Vegetable Skewer with Chicken, squash and eggplant. To complete the set, your lunch includes a comforting bowl of Kakesoba with noodles in a light and flavorful broth, the Smoked Tori Salad with tender smoked chicken and ginger, the Tare Gohan or Japanese rice drizzled with Chef Masahiku Kodama&#039;s special sauce and topped with nori, the starter trio of sumptuous Japanese Potato Salad topped with egg and crisp chicken skin, a side of pickled cucumber and Tori Riba Paté or chicken liver on toast topped with strawberries and blueberries. Now, that&#039;s a pretty loaded lunch set. And you get dessert too making this an even better deal. The Yakitori Platter Set by Chef Masahiku Kodama also includes a trio of special salts to pair with the yakitori with Yuzu Salt, spicy Togarashi Salt and Matcha Salt. The garden-fresh and clean notes of the Smoked Tori Salad are enhanced by the subtle smoky hints from the tender chicken for even more flavor......while the Tare Gohan punches up the flavors with its drizzle of Chef Masahiku Kodama&#039;s sweet and savory special Tare Sauce. The Kakesoba complements the feast with its soothing notes to warm the palate......before that first savory and juicy bite of Chef Masahiku Kodama&#039;s specialty yakiniku selection. Each skewer is draped in Chef Masahiku Kodama&#039;s special Tare sauce and you don&#039;t need anything else. But for the fattier skewers like the Kawa or chicken skin, a dip in the Yuzu Salt just cuts through the savory richness for that perfectly balanced finish. The creamy Japanese Potato Salad brings a delectable play on contrasting flavors and textures with the egg and crisp chicken skin contributing to the flavorful medley. A Japanese konro grill fired up with binchotan comes with each order so you can conveniently warm up your skewers right on your table for that fresh off the grill finish. It&#039;s a nice touch by Ginza Modern Japanese Dining, ensuring you get to enjoy each bite at its flavorful peak. The Momo or chicken thighs is tender and juicy delivering all the flavors on its own capped by Chef Masahiku Kodama&#039;s special sauce......while the Tsukune or ground chicken meatball brings delicate notes to the palate......followed by just a whisper of smoky hints from the tabletop konro grill and an indulgent richness from the grated cured egg yolk for another masterful play on flavors by Chef Masahiku Kodama. The tender and juicy Kawa brings a flavorful burst with each bite, draping the palate with a lingering savory richness. The Yuzu Salt or spicy Togarashi Salt adds contrast while tempering the richness of the crisp chicken skin. The Bonjiri or chicken tail is also packed with solid savory flavors complemented by subtle smoky hints. Try this with a dab of Togarashi Salt. Or Matcha Salt for balanced flavors. And yes, that bowl of Tare Gohan completes the feast at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining. That seamless weave of fresh and subtle sweetness from the squash and eggplant are perfectly complemented by the juicy chicken for a refreshing change of pace. The Grilled Vegetable Skewer with Chicken is good on its own. Each component on the Yakitori Platter Set by Chef Masahiku Kodama combine for a flavorful and value-packed meal. It&#039;s a complete and satisfying feast on a tray that&#039;s absolutely well worth what it costs. From the skewers and wide array of tasty sides, this one&#039;s high on my list of personal picks. For dinner, Chef Masahiku Kodama offers the Kodama Special Yakitori Platter Set (P 2,400 good for two) at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining for a different taste of the master chef&#039;s meticulous play on flavors. How do you cap a sumptuous lunch with the Yakitori Platter Set by Chef Masahiku Kodama at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining? Why, with the Kodama Special Pudding of course. Think of it as the special icing on the cake for the Yakitori Platter Set. Elegantly plated and presented, luscious and silky smooth, the Kodama Special Pudding is the picture-perfect sweet ending to the Yakiniku Platter Set. And there&#039;s more...If your day starts early, then have a great Ginza morning with the Breakfast specials at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining with six savory options like the Chef Kodama Special Breakfast Donburi (P 399) with pork chasu on garlic gohan topped with two sunny side-up eggs and a side salad, the Tontoro Bacon (P 299) with crisp, paper-thin pork strips on garlic gohan, scrambled eggs and side salad, the Chicken Karaage (P 299), the Grilled Aji (P 399) with grilled smoked mackerel and Tori Tamago Sando (P 399), a stacked Kodama style fried chicken katsu with egg salad sandwich. My pick? That day, the Breakfast Hamburg (P 399) seemed pretty hard to resist. How can you pass up on two charcoal grilled Japanese style beef patties with demi glace sauce served on garlic gohan topped with scrambled eggs and a side salad, right?The side of watercress salad brings fresh flavors to your day&#039;s start, while the generous mound of garlic gohan draped in fluffy scrambled eggs is the flavorful base to your hearty breakfast. Then, there&#039;s the charcoal grilled Japanese beef patties slathered in rich demi glace sprinkled with spring onions and pickled onions. This breakfast definitely sets the tone for the rest of your day with its savory ensemble of comforting Japanese flavors in a bowl. Each Breakfast Set comes with coffee or iced tea too for another irresistible value-packed deal you can&#039;t ignore at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining. It&#039;s breakfast that&#039;s leveled up with that Ginza Modern Japanese Dining flair at prices comparable to other usual breakfast options in the same price range. And Ginza Modern Japanese Dining has another winner with their breakfast offerings. A soothing cup of freshly brewed coffee seals the deal. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, Ginza Modern Japanese Dining has all the bases covered. Renowned Japanese Yakiniku Master Chef Masahiku Kodama brings with him Japan&#039;s finest as Ginza Modern Japanese Dining takes their game next level differentiating it from other Japanese dining options. Craving for Japanese today? Just give in and enjoy a sumptuous breakfast, lunch or dinner at Ginza Modern Japanese Dining...Ginza Japanese Restaurant is located at the Ground Floor, Agustin 1, F.

<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/celebrate-the-arrival-of-the-ber-months-with-puto-bumbong-and-bibingka-at-savoy-hotel-manila</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The much-anticipated BER months have arrived, and that means only one thing. Make that two. Puto Bumbong and Bibingka come top of mind this time of the year and Savoy Hotel Manila has a fresh batch just for you...Recognized as the country&#039;s leading airport hotel, Savoy Hotel Manila recently hosted a fun-filled and flavorful afternoon dubbed &quot;Puto Bumbong, Bibingka, Merienda at Pika-Pika&quot; to celebrate the arrival of the BER months highlighted by nostalgic and traditional local delicacies to formally jumpstart the first of many feasts of the season.  Like Puto Bumbong and Bibingka. There&#039;s just nothing like the fragrant aroma and comforting flavors to warm the senses for the coming holiday season. Plus some interesting and playfully inventive spins for a refreshing modern take to keep things interesting too. Read on and take a virtual first bite of the season&#039;s festive flavors at Savoy Hotel Manila...The coming holiday season brings us all closer together, as bonds are strengthened with reconnection over a sumptuous meal. The timeless and enduring flavors of Puto Bumbong and Bibingka become the flavorful link that binds us all closer together and Savoy Hotel Manila celebrates this tradition with its classic renditions alongside exciting new expressions with a modern twist. It&#039;s been said time and again that food is memory, with familiar notes taking you back to a different place and time. As early as September, Savoy Hotel Manila takes you on a nostalgic journey with their traditional and inventive Puto Bumbong and Bibingka selections. Savoy Hotel Manila recreates this festive vibe through familiar flavors and then some. Who doesn&#039;t have cherished memories of warm rice cakes from childhood holidays? And it&#039;s these same memories that continue to warm the palate and soul as the holidays approach. But why wait when you can already have a taste of the festive flavors of the season at Savoy Hotel Manila...That day at the Savoy Cafe, excitement filled the air with the fragrant aroma of puto bumbong and bibingka to signal the formal arrival of the BER months...Guests were welcomed by Savoy Hotel Manila management led by Den Ferdinand V. Navarro (center), Savoy Hotel Manila General Manager and Maria Theresa &quot;Thessa&quot; Dela Paz (right), Savoy Hotel Manila Director for Marketing and Communications alongside the culinary team... ...shown delicately applying the final finishing touches to the sumptuous spread of comforting and nostalgic flavors of the season. At the spread, guests enjoyed the timeless flavors of the Special Classic Bibingka (P 140) with salted egg, a dab of margarine, a sprinkling of Muscovado sugar and shaved coconut in its purest and most nostalgic form......along with creative renditions reimagining traditional flavors with a modern and contemporary twist like the Leche Flan &amp; Macapuno Bibingka (P 250) topped with a decadent layer of creamy custard and sweet coconut strips......and the sweet and savory Hamon &amp; Queso de Bola (P 250) with mildly salty and delectable hints for that contrasting yet delicately balanced sweet and salty finish. It&#039;s the festive flavors of the holidays with Christmas ham and Edam cheese taking the usual bibingka next level. The culinary team led by Executive Chef Christian &quot;Kit&quot; Carpio reinvents tradition with indulgent touches weaving the flavors of the season in imaginative expressions of the enduring Bibingka. Then, there&#039;s the Special Classic Puto Bumbong (P 140) in its original presentation with margarine, Muscovado sugar and fresh shaved coconut that continues to warm the palate... ...but Executive Chef Christian &quot;Kit&quot; Carpio and his team gets creative with the Mango &amp; Sesame Puto Bumbong (P 190) with sweet mango, roasted sesame and a generous drizzle of silky smooth and creamy coconut milk. The reimagined puto bumbong with Thai-inspired notes is a refreshing variation to enjoy and discover at Savoy Hotel Manila. The Coconut Jam &amp; Latik Puto Bumbong (P 190) is yet another creative variation with a double dose of pure coconut indulgence. The coconut jam not only adds that layer of sweetness but a delectable depth in flavor completed by the textural contrast of the crisp toasted coconut curd. The day&#039;s program also included a bibingka and puto bumbong eating competition to the delight of guests adding even more fun to a flavor-filled afternoon at Savoy Cafe. Each guest was served sampling portions of all bibingka and puto bumbong variants at Savoy Cafe......best paired with local Tablea Hot Chocolate or Salabat. And there&#039;s more...The &quot;Merienda&quot; and &quot;Pika-Pika&quot; components of the afternoon were ably represented by a tempting array of local comfort food, like the crisp and sweet Turonitos filled with sweet saba......the hearty and comforting Pancit Palabok topped with egg and a variety of the day&#039;s fresh seafood catch......juicy Pork Barbecue Skewers fresh off the grill with its sweet and savory glaze......and the Pandesal Ham Slider with Cheese completing the sumptuous Merienda spread at Savoy Cafe. Guests can now enjoy the flavors of the season created by Executive Chef Christian &quot;Kit&quot; Carpio (left) and his team at Savoy Hotel Manila for a flavorful jumpstart to the festive holidays. The BER months are here. And what better way to celebrate the festive arrival of the BER months than with bibingka and puto bumbong, right?

<title>Chef Jay Jay Sycip Unveils A New Season Of Fresh And Vibrant Flavors With A New Menu At The Fatted Calf</title>
<link>https://philippineexaminer.com/chef-jay-jay-sycip-unveils-a-new-season-of-fresh-and-vibrant-flavors-with-a-new-menu-at-the-fatted-calf</link>
<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/chef-jay-jay-sycip-unveils-a-new-season-of-fresh-and-vibrant-flavors-with-a-new-menu-at-the-fatted-calf</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ There&#039;s always a compelling reason to visit The Fatted Calf down south in Tagaytay. A solid repertoire of masterfully executed dishes with the finest farm-to-table ingredients. And a new menu. Chef Jay Jay Sycip gets creative with a lavish new menu at the Tagaytay dining destination. Fifteen exquisite new expressions. That&#039;s fifteen more reasons to visit The Fatted Calf...The consistent roll-out of new menus is integral to The Fatted Calf&#039;s continuous creative cycle helmed by Chef Jay Jay Sycip resulting in flavorful new stories. Sourcing produce and ingredients from local farms, Chef Jay Jay Sycip&#039;s culinary philosophy is driven by an advocacy for the freshest farm-to-table harvest lavishly prepared in modern and classic techniques. With new menus, Chef Jay Jay Sycip adds even more pages and chapters to a continuing story in the deep exploration of flavors. The new menu takes diners on a memorable journey around Asia and Southeast Asia as inspirational pegs for The Fatted Calf&#039;s impressive new repertoire of culinary creations. Step inside The Fatted Calf for a tasty peek...Chef Jay Jay Sycip is one of the country&#039;s prolific culinary storytellers, trained in classic techniques and a passionate advocate for the freshest and finest local farm-to-table produce. Through the years, since it opened back in 2021 in its former location to its recent transfer to its current new home along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Road in 2023, The Fatted Calf has been sharing countless stories expressed in exquisitely plated and meticulously executed dishes reflecting Chef Jay Jay Sycip&#039;s philosophy. From transforming familiar flavors to creative new expressions, Chef Jay Jay Sycip&#039;s unrestrained creativity always makes dining at The Fatted Calf excitingly new, refreshing and different (for more on The Fatted Calf, see my earlier posts tracing the Tagaytay dining destination&#039;s evolution at Serendipitous Journeys: Feast And Celebrate At The Fatted Calf Farmhouse Kitchen from five years ago at their original location, Sumptuous Feasts, Wine Down Fridays And Farmhouse Sessions At The Fatte, d Calf from 2022, Feast And Celebrate Once More, The Fatted Calf Farmhouse Kitchen Reopens At Its New Location In Tagaytay on their transfer to its current location, Tagaytay Food Festival Day 2: Unveiling The Food That Binds At The Fatted Calf x Restaurant Fiz Singapore Dinner Collaboration from last year and Plating Fresh Stories With A New Menu By Chef Jay Jay Sycip At The Fatted Calf In Tagaytay from December last year). Your dining experience at The Fatted Calf begins with soft and warm fresh-baked rolls served with organic locally sourced butter......paired with a refreshing housemade soda, the Lemon-Lime with lemon and lime citrus, sparkling water and vanilla. Each course, from starters to mains and dessert is given the same attention to detail by Chef Jay Jay Sycip&#039;s culinary team at The Fatted Calf. What makes dining at The Fatted Calf so exciting is Chef Jay Jay Sycip&#039;s playfully inventive style of transforming familiar flavors expressed in new and even unexpected renditions like the Patatim Terrine made with pork hocks, sweet molasses, and earthy mushrooms served with house-made baguette and raisin relish. A generous dab of the novel terrine brings the comfortingly familiar hints of patatim from the very first bite, perfectly complemented by the sweet tartness of the raising relish. Off the bat, Chef Jay Jay Sycip kicks off his new menu with an impressive start. The Stuffed Chicken Wings takes inspiration from the traditional Chinese savory and sticky glutinous rice staple &quot;machang&quot; expressed in yet another exciting rendition using farm-fresh chicken wings, glutinous rice, Chinese chorizo, mushrooms and housemade naturally grown bacon. Perfectly crisp and juicy, the chicken wings are well executed, but it&#039;s the vessel for the real flavor surprise of glutinous rice filling with Chinese chorizo, mushrooms and all-natural housemade bacon. The familiar becomes refreshingly new, exciting and different, a recurring theme by Chef Jay Jay Sycip at The Fatted Calf. Back in the semi-open kitchen, the team prepares the next course from the new menu at The Fatted Calf...The Grilled Bone Marrow with locally sourced beef bones, XO Sauce, pickled red onions, daikon radish, and kaffir served with housemade Ciabatta. The bold, sharp notes of the XO Sauce made with bacalao instead of the usual shrimps or scallops adds a subtle richness, cutting through the buttery notes and mild smoky hints of the marrow for that perfectly balanced finish. The marrow is in itself flavorful but the addition of XO Sauce, pickled red onions and fresh radish adds to the medley of contrasting flavors and textures. The Beef Rolls with Kerala Beef Fry, Roti Jala or soft Southeast Asian crepe with its distinctive net-like appearance, coconut, curry, curry leaf, a rich blend of spices and silky smooth garlic cream takes another page from traditional Asian notes. The curry is reduced then fried resulting in intense and concentrated flavors stuffed in the soft roti jala. The elegant plating feeds first the eyes before the palate for another creative culinary expression by Chef Jay Jay Sycip at The Fatted Calf. Chef Jay Jay Sycip then served a trio of pasta dishes with Southeast Asian inspired duck and Thai sausage variations plus a savory steak pasta. Again, Chef Jay Jay reimagines pasta with his creative play on flavors for more colorful stories at The Fatted Calf. Chef Jay Jay plays with fire with a spicy palate-numbing number with the Chiang Mai Sausage Pasta featuring savory housemade Chiang Mai sausages, chilies, Thai aromatics, kaffir and lime. Each tasty bite builds on the heat with an intense yet soothing layer of flavorful richness. The fiery notes of the chilies are somewhat tempered by the cinnamon-like sweetness of the kaffir leaves. It&#039;s a comforting pasta rendition with some serious heat. The Duck Rendang Pasta is another inspired pasta creation with the deep lingering hints of Indonesian spices, turmeric and a blend of aromatics enriched with coconut featuring premium EDL Farms duck. The richness of the rendang is the flavorful base of the pasta, made even richer with tender and savory duck for indulgent flavors. The Steak Fettucine with the acclaimed Australian Wagyu Oyster Blade, rich beef au jus and housemade fettucine adds an indulgent creamy finish to a savory pasta expression. The bold, beefy notes of the premium Australian Wagyu Oyster Blade are enhanced by the beef au jus enriched creamy sauce for a double dose of savory richness. Chef Jay Jay brings a Southeast Asian spin to the classic chicken sandwich for his creative take with the Grilled Chicken Satay Sandwich using farm fresh chicken slathered in satay sauce with roasted sesame on a pillow-soft potato bun. From the soft potato bun to the crisp garden fresh vegetables and juicy slab of grilled chicken satay, every bite releases a vibrant burst of rich notes with the satay sauce tying everything together for a fresh take on the usual chicken sandwich with that distinctive The Fatted Calf flair. The Grilled Chicken Sambal with naturally grown chicken, coconut and aromatics is another top pick high up on my list from the new menu at The Fatted Calf. Grilled, braised and grilled again, the tender and juicy chicken is slowly infused with the indulgent hints of coconut and aromatics for that layer of pure savory indulgence. The Dry-Aged Sea Bream in Corn and Salted Egg Emulsion is another masterful play in delicate flavors. The subtle briny sweetness of the wild-caught sea bream is perfectly complemented by the sweetness of corn and mildly salty hints of the salted egg with curry leaves and fresh cilantro completing the flavors. It&#039;s been said many times before, freshness is flavor and this dish celebrates it right from the very first bite. The dry-aging process also adds to the flavor experience with deeper, concentrated and more rounded flavors matched by a firm and delectable texture. A fresh squeeze of lime brings out even more flavors.The Braised Brisket in Miso-Aligue is yet another masterful execution of pure savory goodness with local Wagyu beef brisket made even richer with Japanese miso and Guagua aligue or crab fat paired with intricately stacked potato pave, sous-vide rainbow carrots and pickled peppers. The decadent duo of Japanese miso and crab fat from Guagua combine for a sinfully rich finish enhancing the bold flavors of the local Wagyu beef brisket for one more tempting option from the new menu at The Fatted Calf. The Dry-Aged Tanigue in Coconut and Lime Sauce is another dish reflecting Chef Jay Jay&#039;s dry-aging culinary technique resulting in concentrated and intense flavors matched with a firm yet soft texture for that proper bite followed by an elegant melt-in-your-mouth finish. The highly complex and technical nature of the dish brings out exactly what Chef Jay Jay intended to achieve, elevating the flavors and textures of fresh seafood with the traditional dry-aging technique. And it clearly works for another memorable dish from the new menu at The Fatted Calf. The Crispy Omelette with Grilled Prawns is the impressive finale for Chef Jay Jay&#039;s new menu at The Fatted Calf. The crisp on the edges with a soft and fluffy center omelette made with farm-fresh eggs topped with large and succulent wild-caught prawns, sweet chili aioli, aromatics and sweet soy is an elegant expression of textural contrast and fresh, clean and vibrant notes in one dish. The briny sweetness of the plump wild-caught prawns comes through complemented by the sweet soy and sweet chili aioli, all rounded out and perfectly finished by the crisp and fluffy omelette for another pick on my list at The Fatted Calf. Chef Jay Jay Sycip&#039;s better half, Chef Rhea Castro-Sycip provides the perfect sweet ending to another lavish feast at The Fatted Calf with her decadent duo of indulgent cakes like the Mahu Cheesecake. The exquisite creation features a lusciously creamy cheesecake on a pork floss and polvoron crust for a unique sweet and savory finish... ...and the Thai Milk Tea Cake, a velvety creation recreating familiar flavors in cake form. At The Fatted Calf, Chef Jay Jay&#039;s mastery of savory flavors is matched by Chef Rhea&#039;s creative execution of cakes and pastries for a winning tandem in Tagaytay&#039;s evolving culinary scene. Through the years, The Fatted Calf has been a top dining destination down south with its inspired take on farm-to-table cuisine. As The Fatted Calf celebrates its milestone third anniversary in its current location, guests and loyal diners can expect even more flavorful stories from Chefs Jay Jay Sycip and Rhea Castro-Sycip. And there&#039;s more stories yet to come, that&#039;s for sure...The Fatted Calf is located along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Road, Tagaytay City (past Tagaytay Radar, the city&#039;s oldest landmark).

<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/robinsons-magnolia-heats-up-with-the-opening-of-ma-la-lah-by-the-villamaria-kitchen</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ What began as a home-based kitchen anchored on its signature Singaporean style Ma La bowls for delivery during the long days of the global pandemic has now entered a new phase in its exciting journey, opening its very first brick and mortar store at Robinsons Magnolia for a place in the local culinary mainstream. Craving for some comforting and soothing heat? Welcome to Ma La Lah by The Villamaria Kitchen... Spicy, savory and hearty, the traditional Singaporean-style Ma La Bowls hits the the local dining scene with the very first location of Ma La Lah by The Villamaria Kitchen at Robinsons Magnolia. In a continuing story, The Villamaria Kitchen scales up its original home-based kitchen concept for a wider and broader reach to a growing base of loyal customers with its expanded brick and mortar set-up in a major mall. And when the persistent rains get you down, fix it with a sumptuous bowl of Ma La with beef, chicken or pork on noodles, rice or porridge with their spicy Ma La Sauce. Now let&#039;s grab a bowl...It&#039;s an inspiring story that began during the uncertainty of the quarantine experience, eventually going beyond the initial viral sensation stage to a brick and mortar location at Robinsons Magnolia. Frfom home-based kitchen to a new mall location, the rise of The Villamaria Kitchen is mainly driven by a unique offering inspired by the Singaporean Ma La (for more on The Villamaria Kitchen, see my earlier posts Dining In The Next Normal: Cloudy Quarantine Days And The Spicy Stir-Fry Ma La By The Villamaria Kitchen from September 2020, Noods With A Fiery Kick: The Spicy Chicken Ma La Noodles By The Villamaria Kitchen from February 2021 and Dining In The Next Normal: Legit Picks. Experience Authentic Flavors At Home With Spanish, Chinese, Korean And Regional Filipino Cuisine Delivered To Your Doorstep from December 2020).The days of isolation from the pandemic may long be over, but the comforting flavors of Singapore style Ma La endures. Ma La Lah by The Villamaria Kitchen now brings these familiar flavors to heat up Robinsons Magnolia. Starting at P 280, these Ma La bowls offer both flavor and value. Let&#039;s start by customizing your bowl in three easy steps. First, pick your meat from beef, pork or chicken. Then, choose your carb of noodles, rice or porridge. Then, add some heat with your desired spice level from Very Mild, Mild, Medium or Spicy. And your fresh bowl of bold savory flavors is prepared fresh and hot at Ma La Lah by The Villamaria Kitchen. My base of pork, noodles and Mild Ma La Sauce topped with crisp garlic bits and broccoli is then taken next level with a variety of toppings. You can customize your bowl even further with the addition of Mushroom Balls, Beef Balls, Squid Balls or Lobster Balls (P 58) and go all-out with collagen-rich Beef Tendon (P 100) or Pork Pata (P 100). The soft yet firm noodles absorbs the savory richness of the Ma La Sauce for intense concentrated notes with each bite. The tender pork brings its flavorful punch into play followed by the indulgent notes of the beef tendon and pork pata for a medley of richness tempered by the mild heat of the Ma La Sauce for that balanced finish. The Ma La Sauce just ties everything together, and this is why you knew then back in 2020 that The Villamaria Kitchen had a real winner. As more guests arrived for the formal opening, Ma La Lah by The Villamaria Kitchen prepares to up the pace...At the formal opening of Ma La Lah by The Villamaria Kitchen, Froilan and Maria Lim alongside distinguished guests performed the ceremonial ribbon cutting......and the kitchen fires up its savory bowls of pure Ma La goodness. It&#039;s a fascinating process seeing how each bowl is built from the base of soft and fluffy steamed white rice with multiple layers of vegetables and savory toppings with the special Ma La Sauce as the finishing touch. And just like that, you&#039;re ready for the second round at Ma La Lah by The Villamaria Kitchen with tender chicken and beef on rice along with mushroom balls and a generous drizzle of Ma La Sauce. Each component brings its own distinctive notes neatly tied together by the bold flavors of the Ma La Sauce. Just like the noodles, the soft steamed white rice absorbs all the flavorful richness from the different components released in a vibrant burst after each bite. The contrasting flavors from the fresh vegetables and mushroom balls completes both the delectable textural contrasts and savory notes in one bowl. Born out of the pandemic, the signature Ma La bowls by The Villamaria Kitchen deserves a much bigger stage in the local dining landscape. And the Robinsons Magnolia location may just be the first of many more brick and mortar branches in the pipeline. The variety of fresh ingredients and toppings offers countless combinations for that perfect bowl to satisfy any craving. Ma La Lah by The Villamaria Kitchen also offers Solo, Half and Full Platters of their specialty Ma La Pata (P 280 Solo/P 1008 Platter) and Ma La Tendon (P 280 Solo/P 560 Half Platter/P 1,008 Full Platter) that&#039;s perfect for sharing. Two bowls, emptied in a flash. But there&#039;s a bigger and more inspiring story behind these bowls. Rising from the pandemic and going far and beyond being a mere social media sensation, Ma La Lah by The Villamaria Kitchen is proof that truly unique and innovative offerings have a place in the competitive and extremely cluttered local dining scene. Robinsons Magnolia heats up with the opening of Ma La Lah by the Villamaria Kitchen with its tempting selection of fire and flavor in a bowl. Now it&#039;s your turn to grab a bowl. At Ma La Lah by the Villamaria Kitchen at Robinsons Magnolia...Ma La Lah by The Villamaria Kitchen is located at the Lower Ground Level, Robinsons Magnolia, Aurora Boulevard corner Doña Hemady Street, Quezon City.

<title>Where You At? On The Way To Great Fried Chicken And Coffee At On The Way House Of Chicken And Cafe</title>

<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/where-you-at-on-the-way-to-great-fried-chicken-and-coffee-at-on-the-way-house-of-chicken-and-cafe</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ An unexpected yet pleasant detour takes me back to a familiar part of the city with the promise of simple yet comforting pleasures in a cool spot along Leon Guinto Street. Where you at? On the way to crisp and juicy fried chicken goodness and soothing cups of fresh-brewed coffee at On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe...There&#039;s nothing a good cup of coffee and classic fried chicken can&#039;t fix, and On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe knows this. Predominantly students, the market is driven by both flavor and value. It&#039;s a timeless equation that&#039;s been relevant then as it is today and On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe has its numbers all figured out and down pat. A tempting variety of fried chicken in several creative renditions backed by an equally impressive selection of refreshing brews at reasonable prices makes lunch decisions easy. This, plus a finger on the pulse of this generation&#039;s psyche expressed in some pretty cool touches throughout the interiors and social media execution completes a truly integrated strategy making the experience more than just great fried chicken and coffee. Where you at? Why, at On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe of course...It&#039;s been years since I last visited this side of Manila yet one can&#039;t help but notice how things have changed, specifically the wide variety of dining options densely packed and concentrated along narrow streets running parallel to Taft Avenue. This was home during my college years from what seemed like an eternity ago, but that vibrant vibe from the different dining establishments continue to tease your appetite with its seemingly endless variety of options. The old familiar haunts may be gone and replaced by newer establishments, but the vibe remains exactly the way I remember it. You can say this has always been fertile ground for some cool and innovative culinary concepts. Amidst the clutter of signages and rows of establishments, it&#039;s easy to spot On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe. Just look for the arrow......and you&#039;re just moments away from a sumptuous fried chicken lunch and great coffee. The compact space is more than adequate for a much needed coffee break, but if your gang needs a much bigger dining area, no worries......On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe has a much larger space just a few steps down the hall. You&#039;ll soon find out that this unassuming hole in the wall has a lot of surprising secrets, including some eye-catching shadow play on the wall. Who doesn&#039;t have time for that mandatory selfie? Squeeze in that winning pose under perfect lighting thoughtfully installed for that money shot before a satisfying meal at On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe. The perfect selfie done, now it&#039;s time to settle down for a satisfying meal...But first, fresh brewed coffee to warm the palate. And On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe has just what you need. Like clockwork, the afternoon rains call for a hot freshly brewed libation to warm the palate and On The Way offers a wide selection of specialty brews like the sweet and creamy Cream of Eire Latte (P 99) with indulgent Irish cream and the robust flavorful depth of premium brewed coffee for that balanced finish. Each soothing sip drapes the palate with a lingering richness, setting the mood for a satisfying meal at On The Way. You can also opt to upgrade your Cream of Eire Latte with espresso and full cream milk (P 149) or with espresso, oat milk and selected toppings (P 219). On the Way offers a full repertoire of coffee-based creations from Blended expressions to refreshing aerated options from their Aerocano selection.  On The Way brings the same creativity to their signature boneless fried chicken, with thirteen innovative renditions from the Classic Original with Gravy to playfully inventive executions inspired by global flavors. On The Way perfected the execution of crisp and juicy fried chicken as their flavorful base and from there developed a full line of savory expressions reflecting Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Korean, and American versions so you get to experience not only the comfortingly familiar but creative and even unexpected renditions all in one place. With prices starting at P 140 for the basic two-piece chicken with rice to P 189 (three pieces with rice) and P 345 for the Party option with six pieces good for 3-4, dining solo with the basic two and three piece options with rice is always a smart pick simplifying any lunch situation. The Irish Cream Whisky is On The Way&#039;s popular all-time bestseller, and one bite tells you why. That delectable crunch and juicy texture is immediately followed by the silky smooth and luscious finish of the signature Irish Cream Whisky for the perfect and savory finish. The play on textural contrasts and flavors makes the Irish Cream Whisky a good pick to get acquainted with On The Way&#039;s culinary offerings. It&#039;s juicy and crisp fried chicken done well, made even better with the indulgent layer of Irish Cream Whisky for a solid meal starting at P 140. The Canadian Golden Honey Butter is another tasty option with the signature crisp and juicy fried chicken draped in sweet honey butter. Perfectly crisp and juicy, the buttery richness and sweetness from the honey combine for another winning pick at On The Way. And all that for only P 140, you just can&#039;t beat that. Good food doesn&#039;t have to be complicated. It just needs to be done well at the right price point. And you get that and then some at On The Way. But wait, did you know that On The Way also has a Secret Menu? On The Way never runs out of surprises with even more inventive renditions anchored on their solid base of juicy and crisp fried chicken. And that calls for a second visit soon...But there&#039;s always time, and space for the decadent Mon Cheri Blanc Latte (P 229) from the Secret Menu. Think of it as dessert you can drink after a satisfying meal at On The Way. The lavish blend of espresso, cherry syrup and white chocolate with whipped cream is one indulgent number and the picture-perfect sweet ending to your flavorful detour this side of Manila. The menu can be overwhelming at first with its wide variety of tempting options, but the staff at On The Way can guide you through each item until you find that perfect pick to suit both your mood and craving. When the lunch time situation leaves you in a rut, simply pin that hidden spot along Leon Guinto and you&#039;re soon on your way to fried chicken goodness. And great coffee too. Where you at? On the way for another round of crisp and juicy fried chicken and coffee at On The Way...On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe is located at 2587 Leon Guinto Street, Malate, Manila. You can also visit their FB Page and IG Feed at https://www.facebook.com/OnTheWay.inc and https://www.instagram.com/ontheway.ph/ for more updates or call 0966 405 4818 for inquiries. Dude for Food is now on Facebook and Instagram, check out the FB Page, IG Feed, Twitter and YouTube for regular updates on good eats.

<title>The OFW’s Greatest Fear: Coming Home to a Family That No Longer Needs Them</title>

<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/the-ofws-greatest-fear-coming-home-to-a-family-that-no-longer-needs-them</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ An OFW is often afraid of many things.

Losing a job.

Getting sick abroad.

Running out of money.

Facing a strict employer.

Missing a flight.

Or discovering that the balikbayan box contains everything except the one item the family actually requested. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ There comes a moment in the life of an OFW when he quietly realizes, “Maybe I have finally made it.”

It is not always the day he receives a promotion.

It is not when he posts a photo beside a famous landmark.

And it is definitely not when he uploads a picture holding a shopping bag from an expensive store—especially when the bag is borrowed from a friend. ]]></description>

<title>“Who Was That?”&#45;  When an OFW Hears an Unfamiliar Voice During a Video Call</title>

<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/who-was-that-when-an-ofw-hears-an-unfamiliar-voice-during-a-video-call</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The OFW calls after a long shift abroad.

“Hello, love. What are you doing?”

“Nothing. Just resting.”

Then suddenly, a voice is heard in the background.

Quiet.

Brief.

Unrecognizable.

Perhaps it says, “Where is it?”

Perhaps it says, “Come here.”

Perhaps it says absolutely nothing understandable.

But the OFW hears enough.

The face changes.

The eyebrows rise.Long-distance relationships depend heavily on sound.

A ringtone can bring excitement.

A missed call can bring anxiety.

And one unfamiliar voice in the background can bring an entire relationship to the edge of international conflict.

It usually begins peacefully. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Long-distance love is already complicated.

Add different time zones, unstable Wi-Fi, overtime work, family expenses, jealousy, and one partner who replies only with “Okay,” and the relationship can begin to feel like an international peace negotiation.

For many OFW couples, love is not measured by how often they hold hands. ]]></description>

<title>From The Deep South To The City By The Bay, The Admiral Club Manila Bay Unveils The Southern Table Busog Chronicles 2.0 At Admiral Hotel Manila M Gallery Collection</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The mysterious veil on the colorful stories of our national culinary heritage are slowly being lifted revealing the rich flavors of the deep south. The plated stories also offer an insightful glimpse at a regional culture long shrouded in a protective cloak. Food, the say, is the best way to understand any culture reflecting traditions shaped by history and geography. And for one memorable evening on September 18, the Admiral Club Manila Bay in Admiral Hotel Manila-M Gallery Collection presents The Southern Table, the second and much anticipated edition of the Busog Chronicles culinary series for a taste of southern cuisine. In a continuing series showcasing the richness and diversity of our local culinary heritage, Admiral Hotel Manila-M Gallery Collection showcases the colorful flavors of the deep south with the second edition of the Busog Chronicles 2.0 featuring Southern Mindanaoan cuisine at the elegant Admiral Club Manila Bay. Mark the 18th of September on your calendar, and savor the flavors of the enigmatic south in a lavish 7-Course Set Menu created by renowned Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient and passionate advocate of Southern Mindanao&#039;s culinary heritage Chef Miguel &quot;Miggy&quot; Cabel Moreno and Admiral Hotel Manila-M Gallery Collection&#039;s very own Executive Sous Chef Mark Tumbale. The elegant art deco inspired lines of the prestigious property by the bay bridges both the past and present in a harmonious and seamless weave, and the perfect setting for an exquisite feast of regional flavors. Ever since my first visit some four years back, the impressive Las Paginas de la Historia or Pages of History art installation still resonates as some of the most visually stunning lobbies in Manila (for more on my first visit to Admiral Hotel Manila M Gallery Collection, see my post Time Stops As The Past And Present Converge For Colorful New Stories At Admiral Hotel Manila-M Gallery Collection from 2022 and Set Sail For An Epic Culinary Journey At The Admiral Club Manila Bay In Admiral Hotel Manila-M Gallery Collection also from four years ago). It&#039;s the first link in a continuous loop of experiences that defines and sets the tone for your visit to Admiral Hotel Manila-M Gallery Collection. At the Admiral Club Manila Bay, the stage is set for the evening&#039;s special preview of The Southern Table Busog Chronicles 2.0 with its panoramic views of the Manila Yacht Club...For Chef Miguel &quot;Miggy&quot; Cabel Moreno, the connection with Southern Mindanaon cuisine is a deeply personal one. Born and raised in Jolo and later Zamboanga City, the narrative of Southern Mindanaoan cuisine runs deep in Chef Miggy&#039;s own personal culinary journey. It&#039;s integral to his story, his family and his identity. A longtime advocate of preserving local regional cuisine, Chef Miggy shares his story at The Southern Table Busog Chronicles 2.0 at the Admiral Club Manila Bay with seven exquisite courses for one special evening on September 18 in collaboration with Admiral Hotel Manila&#039;s Executive Sous Chef Mark Tumbale. Together, the culinary duo takes diners on a deep and immersive dive into the rich flavors of the fabled south revealing a colorful page from the complex tapestry of local and regional flavors. The flavorful stories from the south come alive, recreated in plated snapshots of culture and tradition meticulously executed by Chefs Miguel &quot;Miggy&quot; Cabel Moreno and Mark Tumbale. More than just another celebration of regional flavors, the Southern Table Busog Chronicles 2.0 is a personal invitation for a closer look and experience with the Filipino dining experience. &quot;Having this dinner, having this wonderful event with Chef Miggy is a testament that sometimes stories are always meant to be shared in terms of voices, advocacies, and as chefs, it&#039;s our passion to give out the flavors in the best way we can,&quot; added Executive Sous Chef Mark Tumbale. At the various stations of the Admiral Club Manila Bay, various culinary teams begin prepping for the evening&#039;s special preview of The Southern Table Busog Chronicles 2.0...The refreshing Halina kicks off your dining experience at The Southern Table Busog Chronicles 2.0 with the sweetness of lychee and fragrant lemongrass garnished with pineapple representing the island vibe of the archipelago and finished with tonic for an effervescent fizz to tease the palate. Admiral Hotel Manila-M Gallery Collection GM Alessandro Mortillaro joined guests at the exclusive preview of The Southern Table Busog Chronicles 2.0 in what may be the first of many more culinary events at Admiral Club Manila Bay. And you can expect to hear more from Admiral Hotel Manila-M Gallery Collection as the prestigious property takes on a renewed spirit in championing the local culinary heritage. A native Italian, GM Alesandro Mortillaro understands how a love for food can connect people. A captivating performance brings the rhythmic vibe and cultural traditions of the south to Admiral Club Manila Bay......as Chefs Miguel &quot;Miggy&quot; Cabel Moreno and Mark Tumbale and their teams prepared the first course for the evening. The exquisite menu curated by Chefs Miguel &quot;Miggy&quot; Cabel Moreno and Mark Tumbale reflects a regional cuisine deeply rooted in community, tradition and a pronounced sense of place with countless generations providing the base with local produce and ingredients and collective knowledge. Recreating these same familiar flavors accurately is Chef Miggy&#039;s way of honoring these enduring traditions......starting with the savory Belachan Skewers with tender and succulent chicken enhanced by flavorful hints of smoke from the grill and the delectable sharpness of belachan or fermented shrimp paste with its bold umami notes, shallots, garlic, homemade eggplant sambal, and a medley of native aromatics. The flavor-forward finish is consistent with the south&#039;s culinary style and approach to flavors with nothing held back, and Chef Miggy&#039;s homage to his mom who taught him how to make the dish. The Lining-gil Paté takes inspiration from the classic Maguindanao dish of meats slow-braised for hours in coconut milk and aromatics. Topped with slow-cooked chicken liver, garlic, shallots, and native spices, the Southern Mindanaoan rendition of liver paté is an indulgently rich take on the French classic with its play on contrasting yet balanced flavors. Blessed by an abundant coastline, the Sinuglaw is Executive Sous Chef Mark Tumbale&#039;s rendition of the revered Visayan tradition of combining the fresh harvest of the seas with coconut and native rice. The dish features fresh Spanish Mackerel prepared two ways, one cured in konbu and and the other pickled in tuba or local coconut wine drizzled with burnt rice and coconut oil. The delicately nuanced flavors of the cured and pickled Spanish Mackerel comes through complemented by the deep nutty hints of the burnt rice and coconut oil. The Tiyula Itum, a traditional Tausug broth enriched with burnt coconut, turmeric, lemongrass, garlic, red onions, and galangal brings a subtle nutty sweetness with each soothing sip with the savory richness of the fork-tender beef tempered by the turmeric and galangal. Chef Miggy gets creative by topping it with a delicately crisp and ornate tuille made from bone marrow. The familiar black beef soup by the Tausug is a popular bestseller at Chef Miggy&#039;s Michelin Bib Gourmand recognized Palm Grill, creatively elevated with a modern spin for The Southern Table Busog Chronicles 2.0 at Admiral Club Manila Bay.The intricately plated Halang Halang brings another taste of the Visayas to The Southern Table Busog Chronicles 2.0 preview with tender chicken, native chilies, ginger and lemongrass. Executive Sous Chef Mark Tumbale brings refined culinary techniques for his interpretation of the classic Visayan staple, reimagining the dish with an intricate deboned chicken ballotine with chicken mousse incorporated with coconut milk, lemongrass and ginger served with a side of noodles and a generous dab of burnt rice and coconut sauce. The flavors are rich yet elegantly refined, combining tradition with a masterful modern interpretation. The Kurma is a timeless regional beef coconut curry reflecting the deep Malay influence down south. Chef Miggy reveals his playful side by cleverly stuffing the savory Kurma inside a soft and crisp empanada for a refreshing and even unexpected take. And it works. The tender beef and potatoes, simmered for hours in a thick coconut curry sauce brings all the familiar flavors while the flaky empanada becomes the perfect vessel for the savory dish. The fresh bounty of the seas are celebrated once more with the Suwan Suwan, a gently pan-seared and poached barramundi in coconut milk reduction blended with a variety of native aromatics and soy sauce over a savory broth with clean, uncluttered notes for the perfect finishing touch. Pure, fresh and clean notes accompany each bite, with the light broth completing the flavors. Chefs Miguel &quot;Miggy&quot; Cabel Moreno and Mark Tumbale ends the feast on a high note with the sweet and indulgent Pulo with its tempting variety of sweet treats. The plated composition is a medley of indulgent sweets with fresh local fruits. cacao and native delicacies like Binaki or corn and coconut rice cake, the Putli Mandi or soft rice cakes stuffed with sweet coconut, Cassava Rice Cake with bukayo, Banana Rice Cake topped with cheese and Sikwate or local hot chocolate. Aptly named, Pulo is a flavorful representation of the vast archipelago tightly interconnected by the nourishing crops of rice and coconut. It&#039;s the perfect sweet ending at The Southern Table Busog Chronicles 2.0 by Chefs Miguel &quot;Miggy&quot; Cabel Moreno and Mark Tumbale. The four-hands collaboration by Chefs Miguel &quot;Miggy&quot; Cabel Moreno and Mark Tumbale at Admiral Club Manila Bay is both timely and relevant. It&#039;s time to celebrate our culinary heritage in all its richness and diversity. The Southern Table Busog Chronicles 2.0 is priced at P 5,800 net per person so book your seat for the one night only September 18 dinner at Admiral Club Manila Bay. Admiral Hotel Manila is located at 2138 Roxas Boulevard, 1004 Malate, Manila or call +632 5318 9000 or 0917 863 6614 for inquiries.

<description><![CDATA[ And Why Looking Like You Just Lost a Fight With Your Closet Is Not a Fashion Statement.



Every few years, someone declares:

&quot;Fashion doesn&#039;t matter.&quot;

Usually, this statement comes from a person wearing socks that don&#039;t match, a shirt that has survived three decades, and shoes that appear to have completed military service.

I smile.

Because while fashion may not be everything, it certainly isn&#039;t nothing. ]]></description>

And in less than a second, your photograph has already introduced you.

It may say, “I am confident.”

<title>Bringing The Spectacle Back To The Fine Dining Experience At The Magic Table Of Grand Hyatt Manila</title>

<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/bringing-the-spectacle-back-to-the-fine-dining-experience-at-the-magic-table-of-grand-hyatt-manila</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Dining is theater, as Grand Hyatt Manila redefines the experience with the a magical twist. In one memorable evening, Grand Hyatt Manila brings the moment, wonders, flavors and experience in one magical yet seamless weave. Welcome to The Magic Table...Long known for its groundbreaking and innovative culinary spectacles like the popular Le Petite Chef series, Grand Hyatt Manila raises the bar once more with The Magic Table. The two and a half hour dining experience showcases a stunning repertoire of smoke and mirrors, light and sound paired with with a lavish five-course feast in a magical interactive and immersive dive in the mysterious world of magic. Book your seat at The Magic Table via https://themagictable.com/en/manila and rediscover culinary theater reimagined for a memorable and sensory feast like no other...Everything happens right on your tables, with world renowned mentalists Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass as your digital guides throughout the evening&#039;s magical performance. Threading the magical performance together is the talented Ms. Jassie completing the magical loop at The Magic Table (for more on The Magic Table preview, see my post Dare To Join The Magic: We&#039;ve Got Magic To Do At The Magic Table Preview In Grand Hyatt Manila from last year). Adding to the magical vibe is the fact that you will soon be dining in the tallest restaurant in the metro. That&#039;s right. At the very top of Grand Hyatt Manila......for a spectacular glimpse of the skyline 66 storeys below. It&#039;s impressive sights like this that clearly sets the mood and tone for an evening at The Magic Table. And it&#039;s always a good idea to arrive early......as the magic happens way before the show with the spellbinding libations at the bar. Like the Illusion No. 1 (P 710) with its alluring blend of ube mix and sweet pandan syrup with the rum providing a flavorful depth with each soothing sip. Or the mysterious Vanished (P 710), a potent tequila-based libation with strawberry &amp; almond syrup, lemon and milk. One more refreshing sip, and you&#039;re ready for a deep dive into the world of magic at The Magic Table of Grand Hyatt Manila. And the show promptly begins at 6:00 pm with a second performance at 8:30 pm from Wednesdays through Sundays. It&#039;s time to pick up your wand and don your magical cape and hat. You are welcomed at The Magic Table with a 3D screen projection of acclaimed mentalists Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass. Though not physically present, it&#039;s a deliberate element in The Magic Table where the guests and diners are the magicians for the evening. Each guest is given a special envelope containing all the components to perform each magical trick, guided along by Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass projected right on your table. And you&#039;ll be amazed just how well they can read your mind in a series of mind boggling tricks throughout the evening despite their physical absence, To complement the sensory dining experience, Grand Hyatt Manila performs a culinary trick of its own with a sumptuous five-course feast with The Wizard&#039;s Essential Menu (P 8,500). On its own, it&#039;s an impressive menu in itself matching each of the intricate magical tricks of the evening. And consistent with the tone of the evening, the flashing lights introduces the first course for the evening starting with A Spell of the Forest, a beautifully plated first course with Forest and Porcini Mushroom Paté on hazelnut soil, fig, lemon, pistachio and Manuka Honey. The pronounced earthy notes come through......in a visually stunning plated execution followed by the contrasting flavorful hints from the other elements of the dish. The Enchanted Shell with succulent butter poached Hokkaido Scallops delicately draped in a crisp herb crust, sun-dried tomatoes and rich crustacean bisque brings a bold briny sweetness to the palate complemented by a vibrant tartness from the sun-dried tomatoes and deep flavorful notes from the thick seafood bisque. Each element of the dish perfectly complements the other for a well-balanced play on textures and flavors. The Alchemy of the Sea with the succulent briny sweetness of the indulgent Crabmeat and Codfish Brandade is highlighted by its fresh, pure and clean flavors......as another trick blows you away with the clairvoyant talents of Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass. How did they know? You&#039;ll soon find out this is a recurring question throughout the evening at The Magic Table. The evening&#039;s main course is then served, The Order of Fire with Mulwarra Tenderloin Beef Wellington and savory bone marrow &amp; Café de Paris butter jus with its intense and concentrated notes. The fork-tender Mulwarra Beef Tenderloin is the perfect culinary highlight for the evening as the show reaches its climax. The bar has one more refreshing libation to cap the evening with the Boulevardier, a twist on the classic Negroni with bourbon as the base instead of gin. For dessert, The Magic Table presents a fitting finale to unique dining spectacle with the The Final Illusion, a decadent expression of Chocolate &amp; Hazelnut Spheres, cherry sorbet, chocolate brownie and thick chocolate sauce for the picture-perfect sweet ending. Perfect for families and kids (a special menu for children is also available), The Magic Table at Grand Hyatt Manila brings both the spectacle and entertainment back to dining in the grand style of the prestigious hotel property. And just like the long-running Le Petite Chef, The Magic Table remains one of the metro&#039;s unique dining experiences. And you too can experience the magic high above the metro&#039;s tallest restaurant. Book your table and be amazed and entertained in one magical evening at the Grand Hyatt Manila. The Grand Hyatt is located at 8th Avenue corner 35th Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, Metro Manila.

<title>No. 8 China House Unveils New Culinary Creations at Grand Hyatt Manila</title>

<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/no-8-china-house-unveils-new-culinary-creations-at-grand-hyatt-manila</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The one address synonymous to refined and elegant Chinese cuisine in BGC adds even more tempting options alongside its solid repertoire of traditional and classic offerings. Are you ready for a tasty peek? Then, read on...No. 8 China House at Grand Hyatt Manila in BGC showcases its exquisite touch with Chinese cuisine with exciting new dishes to its menu. Known for their popular and famous Peking Duck and signature dim sum selection, No. 8 Chinese House flexes its culinary creativity with its exciting new dishes. This is elegantly refined Chinese fine dining with that theatrical touch in the distinctive style of Grand Hyatt Manila. New dishes alongside its popular bestsellers, that&#039;s more reasons to visit No. 8 China House.  And you&#039;ll be glad you did...The massive open kitchens greets guests and diners at No. 8 China House, the first in a tightly knit weave of sensory visual layers to your dining experience. Combining theater with the culinary experience sets dining at No. 8 China House apart from the usual upscale Chinese destination. And with five master chefs at any one time at the helm of No. 8 China House, one can always expect exquisite Chinese cuisine consistently any time (for more on No. 8 China House at Grand Hyatt Manila, see my previous post Unleash Your Dim Sum Cravings With Dim Sum Unbound At No. 8 China House from May last year). The metallic sounds of fire-kissed woks becomes the opening symphony the moment you enter No. 8 China House, becoming even more intense at the height of the lunch or dinner service. These are the sights and sounds of No. 8 China House......as it announces the much-anticipated arrival of the first savory starters. The Cold Yam, Blueberry Sauce (P 868) offers a delectable play on textural contrast along with fruit-forward sweet and tart flavors for a unique starter to kick-off your feast at No. 8 China House......followed by the Preserved Egg with Fried Green Peppers (P 498), an elegantly plated starter with the bold creamy notes of the egg tempered by the subtle heat and pronounced smoky hints of peppers for that delicately balanced finish. The Cantonese Barbecued Combination (P 1,988/P 3,388) with its savory medley of roasted duck, barbecued pork, jellyfish and air-dried beef teases the palate with its variety of flavors on a plate. It&#039;s these tasty bites that sets the tone for the coming feast at No. 8 China House, but first, some libations...New at No. 8 China House are the refreshing non-alcoholic Sparkling Tea (P 1908/bottle) to pair with your savory courses... ...with flavors like Sparkling Yuzu Genmaicha with its soothing citrus notes......and the Sparkling Osmanthus Golden Oolong and the Sparkling White Peach Earl Grey with its deep earthy sweetness. Each sip cleanses the palate with its effervescent finish, preparing your palate for another round of savory bites at No. 8 China House. It&#039;s tea with the refreshing fizz, and one of many flavorful surprises at No. 8 China House with even more to come... The dim sum game at No. 8 China House remains top notch, and the arrival of the dim sum cart always brings smiles all around the table with its tempting selection of steamed delicacies......like the Xiao Long Bao Pork Soup Dumplings (P 358) filled with a light yet savory broth......the Har Gao Shrimp Dumpling (P 388) filled with succulent shrimps delivering a flavorful burst of fresh briny sweetness......and the spicy Beef Tripe with Satay Sauce (P 368) with its clean beefy richness tempered by a lingering soothing heat. And these are just the steamed renditions of dim sum with so much more baked or fried variations to discover and savor at No. 8 China House. The long-running Dim Sum Unbound remains a popular attraction guaranteed to satisfy all your dim sum cravings at No. 8 China House (see more on my post here). In between tasty nibbles of steamed dim sum, enjoy comforting sips of the Double Boiled Papaya Soup with Fish Maw, Pork and Chicken (P 1,288). The thin broth is deceptively light yet flavorful warming the palate with each soothing sip with a lingering sweetness. The flavors are rich yet delicately nuanced, opening up the palate for even more savory flavors ahead at No. 8 China House. In another engaging and entertaining tableside presentation, the signature Peking Duck (P 3,388 Half/P 6,188 Whole, advanced order required) of No. 8 China House makes its grand entrance. Widely acknowledged as one of the best in the metro, No. 8 China House has truly mastered the craft with its own custom built wood-fired oven fueled by fragrant locally sourced mango wood. Delicately roasted for an hour for that succulent, tender and juicy finish with a crisp layer of skin that melts in your mouth, it&#039;s easy to see why the Peking Duck continues to be a consistent bestseller at No. 8 China House. First, the delicately crisp skin is served, masterfully carved and plated by your tableside. Dipping it in sugar is a Beijing tradition for a classic first course of Peking Duck. The granulated sugar brings an appetizing and contrasting crunch as the skin slowly melts in your mouth, draping the palate with an indulgent savory richness. Unlike the usual heavier sauces, the sugar dip allows you to taste the flavors of the skin in its purest form. One more crisp and melt-in-your-mouth bite and you now know why the Peking Duck remains a must-try specialty at No. 8 China House. For the second Peking Duck course, the remaining skin, breast meat and leg meat are carved and placed on soft pancakes with strips of cucumber, leeks, garlic sauce and hoisin sauce prepared by your tableside for another masterful performance by the culinary team of No. 8 China House. The impressive Braised Dongpo Pork (P 1,888 Light/P 2,988) by Master Chef Felix has its own loyal set of followers. The pyramid shaped signature succulent pork belly, meticulously sliced thinly by hand with the special thick and sweet sauce poured after serving on the table continues the theatrical flair and performance at No. 8 China House. Paired with soft steamed buns, simply load a few fork-tender slabs of pork belly for a taste of pure pork bliss. Braised low and slow for hours, the flavors are intensely concentrated slowly released as it gradually melts in your mouth. In another inspired play of flavors and textures, the culinary team at No. 8 China House teases the palate once more with the savory sweetness of the Deep-Fried Pumpkin, Salted Egg Yolk (P 358/P 588). Surprising and even unexpected, the Deep Fried Pumpkin, Salted Egg Yolk brings sweet and salty notes for another inventive dish at No. 8 China House. Did you say noods? No. 8 China House has just what you need with the Wok Fried Noodles with Beef, Vegetables and Oyster Sauce (P 558 Light/P 888 Full) with its comforting notes to warm the palate. A duo of hearty soups presents even more delightful options at No. 8 China House with the spicy and unrestrained yet soothing heat of the Hot &amp; Sour Boiled Angus Beef with Mushrooms (P 1,888) with fork-tender Angus Beef, succulent mushrooms and fiery chilies......while the Poached Kai Lan in Broth (P 398 Light/P 668  Full) offered cleaner fresh flavors. It&#039;s been said countless times before, freshness is flavor and this dish celebrates that with one sip. The  Pan-Fried Chicken with Shallot and Bean Sauce (P 988) is the first from the new selection of exciting dishes combining the delicate notes of tender chicken with the flavorful depth of shallots and fermented bean sauce. It&#039;s a combo that works, best paired with a bowl of Wok Fried Rice with Shrimp, Scallop and Pineapple. Then, the rest of the new dishes were presented to the table led by the Steamed Green Crab with Pork and Onion (P 3,888) with succulent crab on tender pounded pork with onions. An impressive dish with tender pounded pork as the base, the delicately steamed and succulent green mud crab brings a delightfully fresh and clean briny sweetness with each succulent bite......followed by a savory richness from the pork and onions to complete a lavish play on flavors by the master chefs of No. 8 China House.The Steamed Green Grouper with Cordyceps Flower and Onion (P 688/100g) is another elegant dish with subtle and delicately nuanced notes of freshness for pure and real flavors.

<title>Back On Tap: Newport World Resorts Celebrates Triumphant Return Of Oktoberfest</title>

<description><![CDATA[ It&#039;s that time of the year once more to roll out barrels, kegs and beer steins of fun and good vibes. Newport World Resorts hosts the much awaited annual Bavarian tradition once more with its grand Oktoberfest celebration at the ballroom of Hilton Manila. It&#039;s time to raise a toast...Since the inaugural Oktoberfest festivities back in 2024, Newport World Resorts rolls out the barrels once again with this year&#039;s edition of Oktoberfest 2026 at Hilton Manila on October 28 to 31. The four-day celebration transports you to the revered beer halls and tents of Munich with kegs of Weihenstephan, Bavarian sausages and good times. Come hungry. And thirsty. Read on for a sneak peek of this year&#039;s edition of Oktoberfest at Newport World Resorts...The annual tradition draws millions of visitors each year to Munich, and celebrated around the world in a shared love for Bavarian beer with a festive communal spirit. The origins of the uniquely Bavarian celebration can be traced back to the royal wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hidburghausen in October 12, 1810 with the public invited to the feast in the open fields outside the city gates. Since then, the annual celebration has been part of Bavarian culture showcasing its world-renowned brews and cuisine. This year&#039;s Oktoberfest celebration at Newport World Resorts replicates the same vibe and flavors of the annual folk festival in four festive days starting October 28. The management team of Newport World Resorts and Hilton Manila welcomed guests to the exclusive preview at the ballroom of Hilton Manila......led by Hilton Manila GM Gagan Talwar. Long tables lined up the ballroom at Hilton Manila, with the ceiling adorned with colorful banners linking back to the origins and traditions of the royal wedding from more than two centuries ago. It&#039;s Oktoberfest, and Newport World Resorts and Hilton Manila gets each tiny detail right......including the customary fresh-baked Laugen Pretzels on wooden stands for each long table. It&#039;s always a good idea to start with pretzels before endless rounds of Weihenstephan. And there&#039;s tradition and a science behind this as well. As early as the 7th century, it&#039;s said that monks paired their twisted bread shaped like crossed arms in prayer with beer. It&#039;s also about balanced flavors with the delectable salty hints of pretzels tempering the bold bitter notes of classic hoppy beers like lagers IPAs. After a few tasty bites of pretzels with hot mustard, you&#039;re ready to kick-off your Oktoberfest with a cold and refreshing glass stein filled with the prized brews from one of Europe&#039;s oldest breweries, Weihenstephan, established way back in 1040 AD. That&#039;s more than 986 years of brewing mastery in your ice-cold glass stein filled to the brim with the frothy head of Weiss, Dunkel or Wheat Beer. Then, the moment everyone was waiting for. The prestigious premier leisure and entertainment destination property&#039;s top management represented by Newport World Resorts Chief Hospitality Officer John Lucas, Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts GM Gagan Talwar, Newport World Resorts Senior VP for Commercial Sales and Partnership Kathy Mercado, Newport World Resorts VP for Food &amp; Beverage Knut Becker, Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts Director of Operations Iulai Sau and host Eric Bituin formally opened the Oktoberfest celebrations appropriately with the ceremonial toast. And just like that, another memorable evening at Newport World Resorts begins......starting with an impressive sumptuous buffet spread with gourmet cheeses and charcuterie......the tempting Wurstsalat or sausage salad......and the Kartoffelsalat or German Potato Salad. The spread also included other salad options like the Nudelsalat or pasta salad and Karottensalat or carrot salad. The comforting Beef Goulash Soup was another option to warm the palate at the buffet spread along with Brötchen Rolls, Lavosh Crackers and Germain Rye with an assortment of dips like Sweet Mustard, German Yellow Mustard, Butter, Pork Lard and Liver Spread. And the savory delicacies don&#039;t end just yet. The culinary team of Hilton Manila presented quite an impressive spread with crisp, juicy and creamy Cheese-Stuffed Frikadellen or meat patties paired with the Spätzle or German noodles with cream sauce, Emmental, Gruyere and crispy onions. And don&#039;t forget a heaping side of Bratkartoffein or seasoned fried potatoes to pair with your savory mains along with some Sauerkraut too. And yes, the kitchen also presented a double dose of Wiener Schnitzel goodness with chicken and the Schweinschnitzel with pork. Tender, crisp and juicy, the duo of schnitzels are the tasty opening act of sumptuous mains at the Oktoberfest celebrations of Newport World Resorts. At the Carving Station, a familiar dish catches your eye. The Schweinshaxn or crispy pork knuckles is another highlight at the Oktoberfest buffet spread by Hilton Manila. Grab a large plate for your load of Schweinshaxn plus some German Meat Loaf too. But it&#039;s the Zwiebelrostbraten or roast beef with onions that&#039;s high up on my list of personal picks......with fork-tender slabs of richly seasoned beef for that hearty savory punch best washed down with another stein filled with Weihenstephan.Take a closer look and you just know you can&#039;t pass this up. It&#039;s Oktoberfest, just go with the flow, right? Another round gets you right into the Oktoberfest groove, and the good times just keeps on coming at Newport World Resorts. But it&#039;s just not Oktoberfest without sausages, and Hilton Manila brings its solid repertoire of savory goodness in tube form to the feast starting with the Weisswurst Sausages slowly simmered in a light broth. Literally translated as &quot;white sausages,&quot; the Weisswurst is made with veal and pork delivering a mild and delicately nuanced savory notes with light herbal hints. There is a ritual in enjoying these sausages, and it involves carefully peeling the casing and diving straight to the seasoned filling paired with sweet mustard. Then again, you make your own rules. The Thüringer Sausage with its lean pork filling seasoned with spices and garlic, black pepper and marjoram bring bold and deep savory notes... ...while the Frankfurter Sausage brings familiar smoky hints with that fresh snap after each tasty bite. The subtle yet pronounced salty hints will have you going back for another bite. Guaranteed. The thin Nürnberger Sausage offers equally rich and complex spiced flavors pairing well with sauerkraut and a side of Kartoffelsalat. As you go for another round of sausages, a near empty stein calls for a prompt and immediate action. A refill is in order, and it&#039;s a quick fix to maintain that Oktoberfest vibe. Meanwhile, the festival&#039;s host Eric Bituin announces another key component of the Oktoberfest celebrations requiring audience participation. That&#039;s right, let the games begin...A test of strength, the Masskrugstemmen or Stein Holding endurance competition involves holding a full and heavy beer stein out straight with one arm. Last man (or woman) standing wins. Another round of beer is said to add some superhuman powers, so drink up and join for a chance to win some cool prizes. And if chugging down a full stein is more your jam, this is your chance to break the one minute mark. Then, there&#039;s the Hammerschlagen or hammer striking competition that tests the limits of your hand and eye coordination after few rounds of Weihenstephan. Precision, more than strength is the key in literally nailing down the win. In between sips and bites, check out the awesome rides from Labretta and Suzuki. Admit it, you&#039;ve always wanted some cool two-wheeled conveyance. Hold that thought and fill up your stein. This may be the sign you&#039;ve been waiting for. And it just keeps getting better. Come October 28, you can sing along with the catchy Bavarian accordion-driven melodies by the AnTon Showband for all four nights. The Austrian band is a constant Oktoberfest attraction across Asia, and you get chance to sing along with the acclaimed show band at Newport World Resorts starting October 28. To cap a sumptuous Oktoberfest feast, the culinary team of Hilton Manila teases your palate with indulgent dessert like Apfelstrudel or Apple Strudel for the proper sweet ending to your Oktoberfest experience at Newport World Resorts... ...plus Krapfen or jam-filled doughnuts, Kaiserschmanrrn or caramelized pancakes with strawberry compote and Schokoladen Labkuchen Kirschkugeln or Chocolate Labkuchen Cherry Balls. Oktoberfest 2026 at the Hilton Manila Ballroom in Newport World Resorts runs from October 28 to 31. Early bird tickets are available for P 5,300 net per person until September 30, 2026. You can book your reservations by contacting Hilton Manila Commercial at 0917 811 5779 or email ladydianne.tan@hilton.com and shine.lubaton@hilton.com to book your seat. What began as a festive feast to celebrate a royal wedding nearly two centuries ago has become a unique experience and an enduring cultural symbol enjoyed all over the world. Now you too can experience this annual tradition at Hilton Manila in Newport World Resorts. It&#039;s back on tap. It&#039;s Oktoberfest 2026 in Newport World Resort style...Newport World Resorts is located at Newport Boulevard, Newport City, Pasay City 1309, Metro Manila.

<title>The Banh Mi Gets Booya&amp;apos;d At Booya Bagels</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Heard Chef Aaron Lau has a new Bagel sandwich at Booya Bagels. And it&#039;s bangin&#039;. Think old Saigon meets NYC. Open wide for the new Booya Banh Mi Bagel by Booya Bagels...Bagel master Chef Aaron Lau rocks the bagel scene once more with a new sandwich creation inspired by savory and rich French colonial notes with fresh and vibrant Vietnamese flavors capped by a cool New York spin. The Booya Banh Mi Bagel by Booya Bagels (P 420) masterfully brings all the elements together in a seamless fusion of fresh and savory flavors in between the perfect bagel. It definitely isn&#039;t your typical bagel sandwich, even unexpected and that&#039;s just the way Chef Aaron Lau envisioned it for his latest creation. Inside, rich savory layers of contrasting and distinct flavors all come together like each was made for the other in what the late Anthony Bourdain once described as &quot;a symphony in a sandwich.&quot; Ready for a bite? Then, read on...For those who know their bagels, Booya Bagels in Serendra and Glorietta remain the metro&#039;s top destinations for the New York classic. From the traditional Lox or smoked salmon to the hearty Italian and Chef&#039;s Lunch with Cheddar, bacon, salami, pepperoni and mustard or even just the Everything Bagel with the proper schmear of cream cheese, Booya Bagels has set the standard for the Jewish ring-shaped bread roll with that familiar hole in the center. From time to time, Chef Aaron Lau unleashes his creativity with new sandwich creations to complement his roster of traditional renditions (for more on Booya Bagels, see my previous posts Bagel Possibilities Unveiled With The Limited Time Hella Pastrami And The Strawberry Chocolate Bomb By Booya Bagels from last year, Booya Bagels Hits The Mainstream With The Formal Opening Of Its Glorietta 3 Branch from two years ago and #banginNYstylebagels: Now, These Bagels Are Bangin&#039;. At Booya Bagels... from way back in 2022). Chef Aaron Lau described his latest creation as &quot;definitely one of the most challenging but underrated&quot; bagel expression yet to roll out from the kitchens of Booya Bagels. The multi-layered creation combines several different components, each made in-house for the Booya Banh Mi Bagel (P 420). First, a generous layer of premium imported butter is spread on the bagel like a proper schmear. Then, Chef Aaron Lau ditches the usual traditional pork and goes all-out with a tasty quartet of chicken namely the French inspired Chicken Galantine with its elegant notes paired with the bold flavors of chicken sausages, the textural crunch of chicken floss and finally a thick spread of chicken paté following the banh mi tradition. A variety of pickled vegetables completes the play with its fresh and clean notes cutting through the savory richness of the other components for that delicately balanced finish. Take a closer look at the cross section and you&#039;ll see the thick slabs of butter and chicken paté, Chef Aaron doesn&#039;t hold back on the good stuff. It&#039;s this complex and intricate layering of each component including the tediously prepared foursome of chicken galantine, chicken sausages, chicken floss and chicken paté that drives all the savory flavors complemented by the thick dab of premium imported butter and pickled vegetables. Everything is loaded on Chef Aaron&#039;s specialty bagel with its signature dense yet soft and chewy texture. And that first bite just seals the deal with a flavorful burst of savory notes from the chicken expressed in four ways followed by the creamy butter and deep earthy notes of the chicken paté with the sharp clean hints of pickled vegetables for balanced flavors. Like Anthony Bourdain described it, this is indeed &quot;a symphony in a sandwich&quot; with that Booya Bagels flair. And the bagel becomes the perfect vessel for the generous layers chicken prepared four ways, butter, and pickled vegetables. And just like your traditional banh mi, the fusion of French and Vietnamese culinary traditions is a seamless weave made even more special with the New York style bagel for a satisfying meal. It&#039;s banh mi unlike any other, and you&#039;ll only find it at Booya Bagels. Chef Aaron proudly shared that the new Booya Banh Mi Bagel now has a growing loyal following, mostly foreigners, looking for a savory bagel twist. And I&#039;m definitely adding this to my list of picks along with the Lox, Italian and the Everything Bagel with the proper schmear at Booya Bagels. Find out yourself how banh mi gets booya&#039;d...at Booya Bagels. Booya Bagels is located at Serendra Malls, Bonifacio Global City, 11th Avenue, Taguig City, Metro Manila.

<description><![CDATA[ Food has always been a continuing story of local culture enriched with memories that have become part of tradition. Any deep dive into the complex multi-layered and colorful weave of Philippine culinary heritage has to include the enduring and popular kakanin or native rice cakes with its deep connection to both history and geography. And there are as many unique variations of the ubiquitous rice cake as there are islands and regions in the archipelago. From suman to puto, biko, kalamay and tamales to kutsinta, sapin-sapin to bibingka, rediscover the comforting flavors that continue to shape and define our identity on the global table. It&#039;s time to learn, shop and indulge at Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South...The Philippine Heritage Kitchen led by Chef Reggie Aspiras and CCA Manila presents yet another page from the rich and diverse book of our evolving culinary heritage focusing on the rice cake culture with Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South at The Glasshouse of New World Makati Hotel. The continuing series reflects a shared advocacy by Chef Reggie Aspiras and CCA Manila in preserving local culinary heritage, as many traditions and even ingredients are slowly fading due to modernization. For one memorable day, time stops in celebration of the local rice cake from high up north to down south with sweet renditions of the Filipino staple made with generations old practices and traditions into indulgent expressions of our identity. Read on, and celebrate the rich and abundant harvest of the land transformed in an impressive variety of kakanin...How well do you know your local rice cake? How many have you tried? The fifth in the on-going culinary series, Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South follows the previous editions which began with the flavors of the north with The Filipino Story On A Plate: Acclaimed Chef Reggie Aspiras And CCA Manila Brings Traditional Local Flavors To BGC At The Launch Of The Philippine Heritage Kitchen showcasing the traditional flavors of Ilocos from April this year, From Salad To Sizzling, Retracing The Origins Of Pampanga&#039;s Sisig And Its Place In The Filipino Culinary Experience At The Sisig Festival By The Philippine Heritage Kitchen And CCA Manila from last June, Once Upon A Time In Malabon: The Philippine Heritage Kitchen And CCA Manila Unveil The Flavors Of Malabon At The Glasshouse Of New World Makati Hotel from July and A Foraged Feast: Philippine Heritage Kitchen And CCA Manila Presents A Forest Table Of Sagada At The Glasshouse Of New World Makati Hotel for an insightful peek at the foraging culture of Sagada from last month. And just like the previous editions, the latest festival by the Philippine Heritage Kitchen and CCA Manila is another culinary spectacle offering an insightful glimpse on Filipino cuisine, culture and heritage.The local rice cake presents a direct connection to an agrarian economic system established long ago, with each variation of the kakanin a celebration of the abundant harvest of the land anchored on staples like rice, root crops, coconut and sugar with each local kakanin becoming a tangible link with the land. Each region has its own unique rendition reflecting a colorful diversity of a rich culinary heritage. Often taken for granted, this richness in diversity is under threat by the rapid pace of both modernization and globalization. Chef Reggie Aspiras, in collaboration with CCA Manila, takes the lead in championing our local culinary heritage, one region and plate at a time. For the fifth edition of the Philippine Heritage Kitchen series, the local kakanin gets a share of the spotlight. And what a spread. With over a hundred varieties of the beloved staple, guests experienced the full range of kakanin ably represented with tasty treats from the north and south and everything in between for an impressive spread. Just like the previous editions from the Philippine Heritage Kitchen series, the latest festival featured cooking classes and live demos in preparing each local delicacy like Pampanga&#039;s Tibok-Tibok by food author and historian Ruston Banal... ...allowing guests to recreate the regional specialties at home. Completing the immersive experience at Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South is the popular bazaar......showcasing a wide variety of local products and produce all in one place. No need to travel far, the Philippine Heritage Kitchen and CCA Manila brings the market to you at the Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South. And yes, you can bring home some of the featured kakanin from the festival too. The market component of the festival featured some of the popular brands behind the well-loved delicacies......each one prepared the traditional way with local ingredients. Each product tells a unique story contributing to a much larger picture of the uniquely Filipino experience.From nostalgic flavors that never fails to warm the palate......highlighting the best local produce and specialty of the region......to artisan products supporting a cause, the Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South offers a tasty snapshot of the different regional flavors at The Glasshouse of New World Makati Hotel. Classroom, market and a sumptuous buffet spread, it&#039;s a winning format by the Philippine Heritage Kitchen and CCA Manila. Now that you&#039;ve learned a new recipe and have your stash of local products secured, it&#039;s time to indulge in some kakanin...At the Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South, you&#039;ll find familiar renditions alongside new flavor experiences to open a whole new world of exciting possibilities with the local kakanin culture. Quan Delicacies of Bacolod presented their bestselling bilao with an assortment of treats from the soft Palitaw and Sapin-Sapin......to their bestselling Puto Pao. Innovation complements tradition with exciting new expressions of the native kakanin keeping it in step with the times. The Suman Balanghoy with the distinct sweetness of cassava brings a comforting familiarity to your all-kakanin feast...From Quezon, the Tikoy sa Anahaw is a sweet, soft and chewy expression made from sticky rice flour, coconut cream and butter for a silky smooth finish. The savory and mildly salty Tamales Bobotu of Pampanga is said to be inspired by the Mexican staple brought over during the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade. But instead of corn, the local version uses galapong or rice flour with coconut milk and topped with strips of tender chicken, egg and peanuts. Wrapped in banana leaves instead of corn husks, the Tamales Bobotu has a lingering fragrant aroma after the steaming process. The intricate corn husk wrapped Binaki of Bukidnon is a delicate steamed corn cake with a light and subtle sweetness, one of my many pleasant discoveries at Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South...The Mahang Bigas is a dense and mildly chewy variation of the maja blanca made with galapong or ground rice......with so much more to experience and discover. The Philippine Heritage Kitchen and CCA Manila assembled many of the country&#039;s famous and finest local producers in the art of kakanin for the festival. The sheer size and scale of the impressive spread just has to be some sort of culinary milestone in itself. The traditional Kalamay made with galapong or glutinous rice, aniseed and sugar brings even more flavors of tradition to the festival......while the Binubudan offers something refreshingly new and different. A fermented rice cake delicacy, the Binubudan brings a fragrantly pungent aroma that sets it apart from the usual. The Binubudan from Northern Luzon is actually the pre alcoholic stage in the tapuy-making process with its clean and mildly tangy and spirited sweetness. The always popular Pichy-Pichy and regular mainstay in countless gatherings adds a festive and familiar vibe to the Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South at The Glasshouse of New World Makati Hotel. Then, one of the festival&#039;s many creative surprises catches your eye. The Fried Champorado is a crisp and indulgent rendition filled with the chocolate porridge and topped with sweet yema and salty gourmet tuyo. The delectable play on contrasting flavors and textures is a palate-pleasing treat at the Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South. The Putong Marikina is a bite-sized steamed rice cake delicacy made with brown sugar giving it a decadent sweetness and annatto seeds for its distinctive and vibrant hue. Each piece is then topped with cheese for that delicate and appetizing balance of salty and sweet notes. The play on sweet and salty notes continues with the Salted Egg Puto topped with salted egg for a savory richness......followed by the sweetness of Malabon&#039;s crisp Valencia Triangulo. A cooking demo on the Valencia Triangulo was presented in the previous edition of the culinary series featuring the delicacies of Malabon (see more on my post here). The elegant and colorful Inutak is a creamy layered kakanin variation tracing its origins from Pateros and Taguig. Made with glutinous rice flour and coconut milk over a layer of ube, the Inutak is so named for the curled caramelized surface resembling the intricate patterns of the brain. Ready for a second round? There&#039;s more to discover at the Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South...The silky smooth coconut cream custard Maja Blanca is always a treat, and you&#039;ll find countless variations of the traditional delicacy at the Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South...From Guagua and Sta. Rita in Pampanga, the Patcu is another unique and elegant rendition of kakanin with a rolled soft crepe made with glutinous rice flour, coconut and milk. Traditionally served during Christmas hence the name, the sweet filling of grated coconut and sugar will have you going for another piece after one bite. The dense and chewy Bibingka Nasi is another Capampangan treat baked over banana leaves for its sweet and fragrant finish. Made with whole grain glutinous rice for its firm texture, the Bibingka Nasi is a guaranteed crave buster that can fix any sweet craving in one bite. And quite filling too. Food is transformative, triggering memories reconnecting you with the past. I fondly recall my mom preparing the Capampangan Tibuk-Tibuk in the kitchen and one bite just transports you back to those countless childhood summers. The silky smooth and creamy delicacy made with coconut cream and topped with latik or fried coconut cream curd, the delicacy is so named because of its gentle throbbing pulse like a heartbeat when cooked. The Hibok-Hibok from Rizal is a dense and chewy rice cake made from glutinous rice flour with a sweet mung bean paste filling gently simmered in coconut milk. Often described as the local counterpart of the Japanese mochi, the Hibok-Hibok is one more winning play from the Filipino kakanin playbook. The Bilao with its tempting assortment of rice cakes remains the most popular way kakanin is served. A feast for the eyes before the palate, the bilao captures the sense of community and tradition anchored on the bountiful harvest of the land. Made from buri palm starch, the Pato Buli from Cebu offers its own play on textures with rich earthy notes. Dense and chewy, the Visayan steamed cake reflects just how rich and diverse our kakanin culture is from region to region. A few more plates deserves a freshly brewed Americano from the Breville Station. A few soothing sips and you&#039;re ready to hit the kakainin spread one more time...Puto, the ubiquitous steamed rice cake, is well represented at the Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South from the traditional Puto Alsa to the modern Puto Pao with a wide variety of toppings and fillings.Tucked away in a corner is another unique find in a memorable day of discovery. From Prieto&#039;s Kitchen of Pasig, the Putong Bata at Laksa is a traditional heritage pairing featuring a rich and savory vegetable dish served with dense steamed rice cakes. A classic merienda staple, the puto serves as a vessel to scoop up the hearty vegetable stew for yet another refreshing take on the kakanin culture.  After several rounds of kakanin, shift gears with the savory bites and nibbles from Malabon&#039;s Pink Pride Street Food Co., a non-profit livelihood social enterprise led by Chef Melissa Sison-Oreta and the Malabon Pink Pride Society. It&#039;s street food for a cause with tasty fish balls, kikiam, squid balls, tokwa fries, and tokwa balls. The savory Chinese style Quekiam brings bold notes to the palate......while the crisp Tokwa Fries adds texture and flavor for a comforting taste and vibe of street food. In true street food style, simply pick up a cup and a skewer and load up with an assortment of fried treats. Complete the experience by preparing your own customized dip made with a combination of a thick and sweet sauce paired with a mildly spicy sauce. Pink Pride Street Food Co. adds an element of fun to the feast of local flavors. You can also tap Pink Pride Street Food Co. for your own event or celebration with their street cart packages. Meanwhile, the steamers are fired up for Marikina&#039;s finest Puto Bumbong and Bibingka as the kakanin feast continues......with tempting Biko made with glutinous rice, coconut cream and topped with latik. The Sinukmani from Southern Luzon is another regional variation of the biko made with Muscovado. Time to pick up another plate...The Suman is probably the most accessible kakanin found almost anywhere. At the Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South, countless renditions were served from the Sumang Balinghoy made with cassava......to the classic Suman sa Gata from Quezon. Served in bamboo, the Binungey is another traditional rice cake but cooked in bamboo giving it a whisper of smoky hints. The Pangasinan staple is another must-try in your kakanin exploration adventures. And this is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg with so many more varieties of kakanin at the festival. The final count boasts well over a hundred samples of kakanin from around the country. In between bites, Quan Delicacies brings their own comforting flavors to the festival with tempting bowls of Bacolod&#039;s famous Batchoy......and Pancit Molo for a refreshing change of pace paired with their fresh-baked Piaya. To complement the extensive spread of kakanin, Chef Reggie Aspiras created her own curated selection of comforting dishes drawing inspiration from family recipes in an ode to her mother with the Amparo: A Nostalgic Merienda. Food is memory, and Chef Reggie Aspiras recreates the flavors home with her mother&#039;s timeless recipes at The Glasshouse of New World Makati Hotel. At the Merienda Station by Chef Reggie Aspiras, regional delicacies like the Calamay Ilocos Sur brings another variation of the kakanin to add to the impressive feast. A massive steaming hot pot of savory Kalabasa Arroz Caldo with its distinctive nutty sweetness is too tempting to pass up, more so on another cloudy day during the Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South......while the sweet Tambo-Tambong, the Ilocano version of guinataang bilo-bilo with glutinous rice balls, bananas, sweet potatoes, and sago gently simmered in coconut milk is another temptation you just can&#039;t pass up. The vibrant colors of the festive Lola&#039;s Binignit is a Visayan version of the guinataang halo-halo with taro, sweet potato, cassava, saba, jackfruit, tapioca pearls, and purple yam in a rich coconut milk base thickened with pilit or whole glutinous rice for another indulgent taste of flavorful memories from home. But Chef Reggie Aspiras has one more surprise at the Amparo Nostalgic Merienda buffet station...The centerpiece of the impressive merienda spread is the Jamon A La Amparing, a fork-tender slab of pork with a delectably sweet and savory finish. It&#039;s a taste of home, masterfully executed by Chef Reggie Aspiras. Have your noodles your way. The Heirloom Pancit Palabok Bar allows guests to customize their noodle dish with a variety of toppings including fresh seafood like shrimps and squid, crushed chicharon and quail eggs. Rounding out the Amparo Nostalgic Merienda spread is the Agoo Dinuguan......made even more indulgent with a topping of crisp and crunchy Chicharon Bulaklak and atsara for the double dose of savory richness and contrasting textures in a bowl. What to pair with your chicharon bulaklak topped bowl of Agoo Dinuguan? Why, steamed puto of course. One more bowl of Agoo Dinuguan with an extra topping of chicharon? Yes, please...The latest in a continuing series, Chef Reggie Aspiras and the Philippine Heritage Kitchen in collaboration with CCA Manila once again reveals a page from our culinary heritage with Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South one dish and delicacy a time from the different regions and all 7,641 islands of the archipelago. The craft and generations old tradition of kakanin may soon be a lost art in the face of increasing modernization and a developing globalized palate. But efforts like this keeps local culinary traditions alive. It&#039;s also a reminder that our culinary heritage should be preserved for future generations. Every culture is based on tradition, and preserving it is key in maintaining our identity on the global table. The impressive spread is also a reflection of the collaborative spirit behind each event and festival by the Philippine Heritage Kitchen and CCA Manila bringing together a multi-sectoral coalition with a shared cause. It&#039;s this infectious spirit of collaboration that makes each tasty bite at the recent Kakanin Kain! A Rice Cake Festival From North To South so much sweeter and memorable. More than just a local delicacy, the enduring kakanin in all its different shapes and forms unifies us all in a timeless celebration of community, history and prosperity with an abundant harvest of a long-established agrarian economy. These are the traditions that must not be lost to memory, protected and preserved linking us back in a tightly woven full loop to the communities and the land that nourished and shaped our identity.

<description><![CDATA[ Or… How Not to Look Like His Lost Keychain in Public

So your boyfriend is really tall. Not “slightly above average” tall.
We’re talking streetlight-level tall.
The kind of tall where strangers assume he plays basketball professionally even if he sells insurance.

And there you are beside him, looking like the “before” picture in a growth supplement commercial. ]]></description>

<title>Firing Up The Famed Japanese A5 Ohmi Wagyu Beef At The Yakiniku Dining Room of Tsukiji</title>
<link>https://philippineexaminer.com/firing-up-the-famed-japanese-a5-ohmi-wagyu-beef-at-the-yakiniku-dining-room-of-tsukiji</link>
<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/firing-up-the-famed-japanese-a5-ohmi-wagyu-beef-at-the-yakiniku-dining-room-of-tsukiji</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The finest ingredients flown in from Japan and nothing less, that&#039;s what diners have come to expect from Tsukiji. For over 37 years, Tsukiji remains at the top of its game when it comes to exquisite Japanese cuisine in the metro recognized as the first local restaurant to directly buy, import and serve fresh seafood sourced directly from Tsukiji and Toyosu Fish Market three times a week. And now you can enjoy the famed A5 Ohmi Wagyu Beef from Japan&#039;s Shiga Prefecture. Ready to fire up the tabletop grill?The key to Tsukiji&#039;s success is an open secret. The uncompromising commitment to quality and authenticity with the finest ingredients flown in from Japan has long been the core philosophy defining Tsukiji since 1989. Named after Tokyo&#039;s world famous market, quality and freshness remains at the heart of the family-run restaurant&#039;s identity with thrice-weekly deliveries flown in straight from Japan for its extensive menu offerings. With two dining areas, a Sushi Bar and Yakiniku Dining Room plus private rooms for intimate gatherings and an al fresco option, the enduring Japanese dining destination takes you on a culinary journey with its masterful array of culinary expressions by Chef Takashi Harima. And Tsukiji is ready to tease your palate once more with its impressive A5 Ohmi Wagyu Beef menu for Sukiyaki, Shabu-Shabu or Yakiniku at the tabletop grill. Fire up the tabletop grill as Japan&#039;s oldest and revered Wagyu brand takes the stage at one of the metro&#039;s pioneering and enduring Japanese restaurants. The official beef of the Japanese Imperial Household, Chef J. Gamboa presents the celebrated A5 Ohmi Wagyu Beef with its elegantly speckled streaks of fine marbling for a preview of the luxurious feast ahead. Developed exclusively for the Tokugawa Shogunate, Ohmi Wagyu Beef is the oldest beef brand in Japan going as far back as 400 years predating both Matsutaka and Kobe Beef. Renowned for its highly coveted and signature buttery smooth &quot;melt-in-your-mouth&quot; finish and savory richness, Tsukiji unveils yet another layer in the rich tapestry of flavors of Japan with Ohmi Wagyu Beef.  At the launch, Chef J. Gamboa is joined by Tsukiji Japanese Chef Takashi Harima and special guest, Japan&#039;s Master Butcher Takeshi Suzuki... ...to present the royal Ohmi Wagyu Beef nurtured by the pristine waters of Lake Biwa in the Shiga Prefecture. Steeped in history, Ohmi Wagyu Beef began as a tonic and medicinal delicacy served to samurai during the Edo Period leading to its selection with a royal warrant to supply the Japanese Imperial Household for generations. Simply marinated in miso, Ohmi Wagyu Beef was originally prescribed as a health tonic and medicinal cure. Following tradition, the Japanese black cattle are raised in a stress-free, nature-rich environment nourished by the clean waters of Lake Biwa and the nutritious local rice straws of the Shiga Prefecture. With a slightly firmer texture and a better balance between its famous sweet marbled fat and lean savory red meat, Ohmi Wagyu Beef is perfect for yakiniku. The fat of Ohmi Wagyu Beef is also known for its low melting point versus other Wagyu brands. This results in a rich and buttery texture delivering deep and beefy umami notes with higher oleic acid and pronounced viscosity for that indulgent yet light mouthfeel with its lingering subtle sweetness. Master Butcher Takeshi Suzuki provides a brief overview on the tedious process and meticulous craftsmanship driven by tradition behind the acclaimed Ohmi Wagyu Beef. Throughout its 400-year history, little has changed in a process firmly anchored on generations old practices revealing insights on Japanese culinary heritage. To kick-off the Japanese Ohmi Wagyu Beef feast at the Yakiniku Dining Room of Tsukiji, Master Butcher Takeshi Suzuki donned his pristine whites for a culinary performance. One glorious slab of premium Japanese Ohmi Wagyu Beef was set aside......for a special treat prepared by Japanese Master Butcher Takeshi Suzuki. With exquisite precision, Master Butcher Takeshi Suzuki delicately sliced the prized Japanese Ohmi Wagyu Beef into thin strips adding his secret blend of spices and topped with premium fresh eggs personally hand-carried from Japan to start the elegant Ohmi Wagyu Beef experience at Tsukiji. Master Butcher Takeshi Suzuki&#039;s rendition of Yukhoe, a traditional Korean style beef tartare allowed guests at the exclusive preview to savor the legendary savory richness of Ohmi Wagyu Beef with its delicately nuanced sweetness in its purest form for an impressive opening act in true Tsukiji style. What to pair with your sumptuous Ohmi Wagyu Beef feast at Tsukiji? Why, sake of course. That day, no glass remained empty for long, with each rejuvenating shot replenished. Then, it was Tsukiji&#039;s very own Chef Takashi Harima&#039;s turn to impress with his culinary repertoire of lavish dishes using the finest ingredients flown-in directly from Japan. A master sushi chef, the much-anticipated feast began with a fresh seafood harvest at Tsukiji. The impressive boatload docks at the table with its tempting variety of fresh seafood. The Tsukiji Sushi and Sashimi Boat prepared by Chef Takashi Harima takes you straight to the famed seafood markets of Tokyo......with its bountiful catch of Bluefin Tuna, Sea Urchin, Yellowtail, Amberjack, Scallop, Salmon, and Sweet Prawns all from Toyosu Seafood Market. Each tasty bite brings pure, clean yet vibrant briny notes followed by just a whisper of sweetness lingering long on the palate. That&#039;s fresh off the boat goodness, literally and figuratively, with that distinctive Tsukiji flair. The Kaiso Seaweed Salad tossed in a nutty sesame dressing cleanses the palate with its fresh notes before the A5 Ohmi Wagyu Beef Yakiniku courses by Chef Takashi Harima......starting with the Super Special Ohmi Wagyu Beef Rosu (P 4,500) or tender sirloin. The bright pinkish hues with its intricate lattice-like streaks of marbling already sets it apart from the usual and common dark red slabs of beef. This is, after all not your typical slab of beef. It takes mere minutes on the table-top grill, as the thick slabs of A5 Ohmi Wagyu Beef Rosu are slowly transformed by the gentle kiss of fire and smoke......for that perfect medium rare finish. That first bite just slowly melts draping the palate with its legendary buttery and silky smooth richness. Tsukiji also offers its Special Yakiniku Sauce in both Mild and Spicy variants, but the A5 Ohmi Wagyu Beef Rosu is really good on its own. The Super Special Ohmi Wagyu Beef Karubi (P 4,500) or ribeye is another cut of pure savory indulgence. The intense marbling gives this cut its buttery and refined finish while releasing bold, juicy and deep umami notes. As the slabs of Super Special Ohmi Wagyu Beef Karubi are romanced by the fire and smoke, a fragrant aroma triggers a sensory response. Medium rare? Absolutely. Fresh off the tabletop grill, the Super Special Ohmi Wagyu Karubi is pure and unrestrained Wagyu Beef indulgence setting the tone for another memorable dining experience at Tsukiji. Just like the Super Special Ohmi Wagyu Beef Rosu, the Super Special Ohmi Wagyu Beef Karubi is simply seasoned allowing you to experience and savor the rich yet clean flavors of the beef with that melt-in-your-mouth texture without the clutter. Then, Tsukiji served the Super Special Ohmi Wagyu Beef Tan (P 4,500) or beef tongue for another savory experience with the royal Wagyu from the Shiga Prefecture. The cut presented yet another layer in the Ohmi Wagyu Beef experience. That same buttery richness remains but with a firmer and mild bite. Each bite releases a flavorful burst of intensely deep and pronounced savory notes with the bright hints from the Lemon Sauce cutting through the richness for that delicately balanced finish. I&#039;ve always been a fan of the traditional lengua, but the Super Special Ohmi Wagyu Beef Tan is definitely next level with its melt-in-your-mouth texture. Pickled vegetables like Kakuteki or crisp daikon and Kimuchi or Napa Cabbage were also served that day for refreshingly contrasting notes to temper the savory richness of the A5 Ohmi Wagyu Beef Yakiniku feast at Tsukiji. But Chef Takashi Harima wasn&#039;t done just yet. Fresh off the kitchen, Chef Takashi Harima served his Korean inspired sides to complete the lavish A5 Ohmi Wagyu Beef Yakiniku feast at Tsukiji like the Chijimi or Korean style seafood and leek pancake......the hearty and comforting Bibimbap or hot stone bowl rice......the classic Chapchae or stir-fried sweet potato noodle dish with tender beef, egg and a fresh medley of vegetables......and the Karubi Soup, with large fork-tender chunks of US Beef Short Ribs in a light yet flavorful broth. The A5 Ohmi Wagyu Beef Yakiniku experience at Tsukiji is a culinary spectacle promising a memorable encounter with one of Japan&#039;s iconic and legendary culinary legacies flown in direct from the famed markets of Tokyo. For Chef J. Gamboa, it&#039;s a promise fulfilled and a continuing commitment that began back in 1989. At Tsukiji, you can expect nothing less than the finest premium ingredients flown in thrice weekly from Japan to your plate. The sumptuous feast is capped with Tsukiji&#039;s very own Homemade Green Tea Ice Cream for that picture-perfect sweet ending. Few establishments have defined the local dining scene over time, rarer still for a restaurant that remains high up on everyone&#039;s list for 37 straight years. And counting. Now book your table at Tsukiji for a royal Wagyu Beef encounter with the A5 Ohmi Wagyu Beef Yakiniku experience. Your tabletop grill is fired up...Tsukiji is located at the 3rd Floor, Milky Way Building, 900 A. Arnaiz Avenue (formerly Pasay Road) corner Paseo de Roxas, Makati City.

<title>Nostalgic Flavors And Cool Deals with the P 385 All Yours All Day Menu Options At Italiannis</title>
<link>https://philippineexaminer.com/nostalgic-flavors-and-cool-deals-with-the-p-385-all-yours-all-day-menu-options-at-italiannis</link>
<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/nostalgic-flavors-and-cool-deals-with-the-p-385-all-yours-all-day-menu-options-at-italiannis</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The comforting notes from the fresh and vibrant tartness of tomatoes, soft yet firm spaghetti noodles and the savory juicy meatballs with bold beefy notes never fails to warm the palate with its rustic and honest yet hearty simplicity. The uniquely Italian-American one-dish meal of spaghetti and meatballs always hits the spot. And there&#039;s one place that continues to serve it the same way since 1996...Italiannis and its repertoire of all-time Italian-American classics remains one of the premier brands from The Bistro Group. In a constantly changing local dining scene, Italiannis has endured increasingly fickle palates and a new generation shaped by passing trends and social media with its signature dishes that continue to be popular through the years. Like the Spaghetti and Meatballs. And the fourth edition of the P 385 All Yours All Day menu featuring sumptuous meals with unbeatable value. It&#039;s time to revisit Italiannis...At Italiannis, some traditions continue to define the brand&#039;s homestyle culinary philosophy. Like the complimentary bread service. Often overlooked and taken for granted by most diners, Italiannis has been known for its fresh baked Tuscan Bread and Focaccia served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Just like the famous soft and warm yeast Dinner Rolls of Texas Roadhouse and the Garlic Breadsticks of Olive Garden, both from The Bistro Group, Italiannis has long set the standard adding even more layers to your dining experience (for more on the all-time Italian American classics at Italiannis, see my previous posts Always Amore Di Merrier At Italiannis With New Dishes To Add To Your Growing List Of Top Picks from 2024, The Bistro Group Food Crawl At Robinsons Magnolia Part 2: At Home At Italiannis With The New Festival Of Flavors Menu from 2023, Enjoying Bistecca Al Fresco And Other Specialty Dishes At Italiannis In Robinsons Magnolia Plus A Cool Deal From Bistro Delivers from four years back, The Bistro Group Brings Italiannis To Robinsons Magnolia from 2022 and Seeing A Pair Of Old Friends At Italiannis from 2019). It&#039;s fresh bites like this that sets the palate for another flavorful encounter with a long-time classic...Simple and uncomplicated yet so comforting, the Spaghetti and Meatballs (P 485/P 725/P 995) by Italiannis traces its origins from the first wave of Italian immigrants to America. The abundance of inexpensive ground beef allowed Italian immigrants to adapt their culinary traditions with an affordable one-dish family feast with larger meatballs, easily available canned tomato sauce and pasta. Over the years, it&#039;s become an Italian-American staple associated with family meals. And Italiannis honors this tradition with their signature homemade meatballs and fresh, rich and thick Marinara sauce for a familiar and satisfying meal. Each bite brings all these contrasting notes and textures in a nostalgic weave reminiscent of childhood meals. That extra burst of flavorful tartness from the chunky Marinara is perfectly complemented by the juicy, savory and beefy finish of the meatballs. It&#039;s the very first dish I tried at Italiannis many years back, and it remains that one dish I keep coming back to again and again. Do you remember your first time and first dish at Italiannis?As The Bistro Group continues to evolve and respond to a changing local dining landscape, many of their brands have adapted an innovative new menu combining flavor and real value. Italiannis brings their own creative take on value-driven options with the P 385 All Yours All Day Menu which includes a beverage, starter and entree. Each option comes with the House Blend Iced Tea. You can also opt for the Bottomless option by adding P 50 or the Blushing Fizzy Tea with additional P 90. Known for their signature pizza selection, the P 385 All Yours All Day Menu at Italiannis includes the Pepperoni Pizzeta, a 4&quot; personal-sized pizza with pepperoni, cheese and tomato sauce. The crisp crust and sharp savory notes of the pepperoni are tempered by the vibrant tartness for the tomato sauce and richness of the cheese for that balanced play on flavors. Other starter options include the Side Caesar Salad and Carrot Soup. You can also opt for the Chicken Fingers &amp; Chips with Mustard Sauce for an additional P 50. For the mains, I go for the Grilled Porkloin served with rice, vegetables and a vinegar dip. The subtle smoky hints from the grill adds the perfect finishing touch to the juicy and tender slabs of pork with the vinegar dip cutting through the savory richness. It&#039;s a pretty solid meal for P 385, all in with a beverage and starter. If you prefer a homestyle option, the Pork Adobo Rice is a good pick. Other options include the Chicken Parmigiana (add P 90) or the Seafood Vegetables &amp; Rice (add P 120). All this for P 385. That&#039;s not a bad deal at all. From nostalgic classics like the Spaghetti and Meatballs to the unbeatable value of the P 385 All Yours All Day Menu, the enduring brand remains at the top of any list for comforting Italian-American specialties and then some. And just like your first time at Italiannis, come hungry... Italianni&#039;s is located at the Upper Ground Floor of the al fresco area of Robinsons Magnolia. You can also check out their FB Page and IG Feed at https://www.facebook.com/italiannisph/ and https://www.instagram.com/italiannisph/ for more updates. Dude for Food is now on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, check out these social media accounts for regular updates on good eats.

<title>European Organic Day 2026: Moving Forward With Organic Agriculture Through Meaningful Partnerships</title>
<link>https://philippineexaminer.com/european-organic-day-2026-moving-forward-with-organic-agriculture-through-meaningful-partnerships</link>
<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/european-organic-day-2026-moving-forward-with-organic-agriculture-through-meaningful-partnerships</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ From farming and civil society organizations, sustainability and environmental advocates and small and medium scale food businesses to the government, academe and private sectors, development partners and food chain experts, a diverse and multi-sectoral coalition united with a shared cause advancing organic farming as a viable and timely alternative in a modern real world setting takes the stage. It&#039;s a cause that&#039;s been around for decades, yet its impact and value has never been as relevant as it is today. From its pioneering beginnings, the movement has grown and now embedded in the cultural mainstream through awareness and education. That day, partnerships and alliances were strengthened with a renewed spirit to further drive meaningful change...No longer a mere trend, sustainable and organic farming is a conscious and deliberate lifestyle choice that benefits not only the environment but goes much deeper into our daily personal routine being an integral part of a healthier and nourishing mindset. Through the European Union-supported European Organic: Nurturing Every Juan campaign, a gathering of key players and advocates led by Naturland brings the spotlight to organic farming at Conrad Manila for European Organic Day 2026 with the theme From Pioneer to Mainstream: Creating Organic Pathways and Partnerships for the Philippines. Take your seat and be part of a growing movement that&#039;s more relevant and meaningful than ever in these changing times...The modern consumer has never had so many options in a highly saturated and cluttered marketplace, and the resulting paradox of choice becomes a daily reality both on the supermarket aisle and online. This common abundance of options gives us all a false sense of security where informed decisions becomes a critical factor in finding real value with real benefits. Yes, we are spoiled for choice and that&#039;s not a totally bad thing at all but we need to pause and stop for a moment from the daily rush and think about the impact of our simple purchase decisions in a fragmented and crowded marketplace that eventually trickles down to our health and the environment. The concept of organic farming takes us back to our roots, and the European Organic: Nurturing Every Juan campaign is a reminder that there is a better choice and alternative on the market. The noticeable shift driving the resurgent preference to organic produce can be attributed to increased health awareness and a rising middle class, but more needs to be done in transforming the local food system.And this means a cohesive multi-sectoral approach to implement much-needed changes moving forward. The gathering included leading figures in the local sustainable culinary movement, with long-time sustainability advocate Christian Schmidradner of Pristine Solutions as one of the many driving forces behind the event (see more on Christian Schmidradner&#039;s previous events on my post, Ten Years Strong: The Philippine Sustainability Movement Celebrates A Milestone Decade With Renewed Purpose In Transforming Food Systems from November last year) as well as noted chefs from the local dining scene like Chefs JayJay and Rhea Castro-Sycip of The Fatted Calf with their sustainable cuisine (more on the The Fatted Calf on my posts Plating Fresh Stories With A New Menu By Chef Jay Jay Sycip Of The Fatted Calf In Tagaytay from December last year and Feast And Celebrate Once More, The Fatted Calf Farmhouse Kitchen Re-Opens At Its New Location In Tagaytay from three years back). The event featured insightful discussions on sustainable and organic produce in the market with a series of talks led by hospitality consultant and entrepreneur Eifelene Salvador Howard providing an in-depth look at the state of organic farming and its role in the evolving food system. Photo provided by NaturlandThe collaborative effort is highlighted by the active participation of the Department of Agriculture&#039;s National Organic Agriculture Program (NOAP) and the support of the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) with Philippine social enterprise Mayani emphasizing the transfer of knowledge from best practices to further push and promote organic farming through trusted certification, strategic partnerships, and sustained awareness building efforts while making organic produce more accessible to a wider local market. One of the key partners at the event is Naturland, a non-profit major international association based in Germany for organic farming guided by the principles of holistic organic standards, traceability, responsible farming practices and fair trade. &quot;The world is going organic, and the Philippines is well placed to shape it. Organics reduce the dependence on costly imported pesticides and fertilizers while building long-term food security. It lets farming communities prosper and gives a growing middle class healthy and sustainable food choice. Europe has spent more than four decades building its organic ecosystem, including its standards and guarantee system. We want to share that experience and raise awareness of organic food and farming,&quot; shared Marco Schlüter, Managing Director for International Affairs at Naturland. The resurgent movement for organic produce has truly evolved from &quot;a niche, value-driven movement into a mainstream response to global, social, and environmental challenges&quot; that dominate today&#039;s headlines. Key discussions focused on the importance of aligning major policies on responsible production and community-led approaches to strengthen organic agriculture while empowering farmers and preserving agricultural diversity. It&#039;s a program that requires a multi-pronged approach from the different sectors initiated by stakeholders......with both government and the private sector working hand in hand toward a shared cause and common goal. As an outsider looking in, seeing the massive and ambitious coalition reflects just how far the movement has come from the initial pioneering phase to its now mainstream stature. But more needs to be done......in creating even more awareness and making organic produce more accessible to a wider base of consumers. Discernment and increased knowledge in the paradox of choice becomes all the more crucial in the way we choose what we serve on the dining table. The event also secured Naturland&#039;s continued long-term commitment to build and strengthen the country&#039;s developing organic sector through collaboration with best practices in food security, sustainability and consumer trust. The three-year program also reflects a much broader goal of the European Organic: Nurturing Every Juan to engage local consumers and various stakeholders, build awareness for certified organic products and strengthen partnerships for a shared cause throughout the food value chain. And that&#039;s one bold step forward for organic farming. And about time too. At the recent gathering, the promise of certified organic produce was showcased in an impressive display of organic products... ...from artisan pasta from Italy......and a selection of Naturland-certified food products for a better perspective and appreciation on the organic farming movement. And if you love chocolate, make sure to add these organic options to your shopping list......and rediscover the pure flavors of chocolate. From organic cheeses to wine, European Organic Day 2026 opened up a whole new array of options for smart and informed choices. From the local front, Primex Coco Products, Inc. presented their premium brand of 100% natural and cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil, Isle de Coco Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil......alongside other unique coconut-based products from small batch producers.Organic farming becomes more than just a concept with products like Pecuaria Pro Organics Organic Black Rice from Camarines Sur......and Tutuban Coffee from Cebu where the benefits of pure and real flavors are enjoyed from that first soothing sip......followed by another cup just for good measure. The product showcase brings to life the promise of organic farming while reinforcing the role of trusted certification providing a clearer idea on how food is produced, grown and sourced for informed decisions. Capping the event, the promise of organic farming comes to life with the exquisite culinary expressions of Conrad Manila interpreted a sumptuous spread using organic produce and ingredients......with each creation unlocking the flavorful potential of the organic concept......adding real flavors to an immersive experience for European Organic Day 2026. For starters, the culinary team of Conrad Manila presented an intricate tasty trio of Crunchy Cone, Organic Apricots, Cream Cheese......the Chicken Liver Terrine, Organic Hummus with Paprika......and the Snapper Tartare with Organic Pad Thai Sauce to open an elegant all-organic feast. Savory nibbles then teased the palate with the fresh flavors from the Zucchini Caponata Roll, Organic Tomato Sauce......and the Chicken Cordon Bleu Stuffed with Cheddar Cheese, Smoked Ham and Organic White Wine with its delectable play on textural contrasts and rich flavors. Using premium organic Italian pasta, Conrad Manila presented a pair of hearty pasta renditions with the EU Organic Farro Fusilli with Organic Pitted Olives In Brine, Extra Virgin Olive Oil......and another using EU Organic Farro Penne. The fork-tender Pork Belly Braised in Soy with Organic Raw Almond Puree delivered that savory punch with its bold yet clean notes......followed by the indulgent Bourbon Vanilla Tartlet with EU Organic Raw Almonds, best paired with another freshly brewed cup of Tutuban Coffee. From the opening talks to the impressive organic product showcase and elegant organic feast, the European Organic Day 2026 festivities at Conrad Manila presented a comprehensive snapshot for informed choices and decisions in a cluttered marketplace of countless options. Take the first step in your own journey and discover the countless benefits of organic produce, and be part of the growing movement. Sustainable, traceable, natural and healthy, these familiar buzzwords still matter. It&#039;s no longer a trend, it&#039;s the smart and relevant choice in a world of countless options. For more on the EU Organic Initiative, visit their FB Page, website and IG Feed at https://www.facebook.com/europeanorganicforeveryjuan/,  and https://www.instagram.com/naturland_philippines/ for more information and updates. Dude for Food is now on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, check out these social media accounts for regular updates on good eats.

<title>A SPAM&#45;Tacular Collab: Time To Sizzle, Pork And MMM At The SPAM Take&#45;Over In Public Eatery of Robinsons Magnolia</title>
<link>https://philippineexaminer.com/a-spam-tacular-collab-time-to-sizzle-pork-and-mmm-at-the-spam-take-over-in-public-eatery-of-robinsons-magnolia</link>
<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/a-spam-tacular-collab-time-to-sizzle-pork-and-mmm-at-the-spam-take-over-in-public-eatery-of-robinsons-magnolia</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ &quot;Spiced Ham&quot; or &quot;shoulder of pork and ham&quot; and &quot;special army meat,&quot; the story behind the iconic brand has many theories debated and argued for over 89 years. But one fact remains clear, everyone knows and recognizes its name long associated with hearty meals. It&#039;s time to sizzle, pork and mmm......as the beloved SPAM brand takes over Public Eatery in Robinsons Magnolia. Starting August 1, 2026, the renowned brand takes centerstage at the upscale and curated food hall north of the metro with a tempting array of savory renditions from eight participating food stalls with seventeen SPAM inspired dishes for a limited time run. From noodles to tacos and more, enjoy SPAM in fresh and innovative ways in a novel and unique collaboration at Public Eatery. For the past three years since it opened, Public Eatery has earned a reputation for hosting some of the most innovative culinary concepts, making it a top destination high on the list of casual dining options (for more on Public Eatery, see my posts Take The Fast Train To Flavor At Public Eatery In Robinsons Magnolia on the formal opening from 2023 and Smashin&#039; It: Bored &amp; Hungry Opens In Public Eatery At Robinsons Magnolia from three years back). From the same group behind The Grid Food Market in Powerplant Mall, Public Eatery changes the game once more with a creative collaboration with one of the world&#039;s enduring brands to complement a wide selection of tempting and flavorful choices in its roster. The unique collaboration reflects one brand&#039;s enduring legacy and deep, lasting and significant impact on global culinary cultures. Introduced by Hormel back in 1937, the now ubiquitous blue tin can with its bold and prominent yellow logotype remains a comforting staple in every home kitchen around the world. The aftermath of World War Two firmly cemented SPAM on the global table, feeding the advancing armies of the Allied forces and the war-ravaged cities of recently liberated territories in Europe and Asia including Guam, Okinawa and the Philippines. By 1959, the billionth can of SPAM was sold and in 2012, the milestone 8 Billion mark was reached. To date, the Hormel Foods Corporation estimates well over 9 Billion cans produced and sold since its introduction back in 1937. Hailed as a &quot;wartime delicacy&quot; by former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, SPAM was even credited by former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in the final victory over the Axis powers declaring &quot;without SPAM, we wouldn&#039;t have been able to feed our armies.&quot; Its revered place in culinary tradition and history is well deserved. But you don&#039;t have to go far back to appreciate its role in satisfying appetites and cravings, just remember those times when the familiar blue tin can often saved the day for a quick meal. From SPAMsilog to musubi, sandwiches and onigiri, army base stews or budae jjigae to kimbap, the savory slab of pork proved both versatile and flexible adapting well to local culinary customs. In step with the times, the enduring brand now offers a range of variants alongside the classic and original SPAM. At the SPAM Take-Over in Public Eatery, this same versatility and adaptability is given free reign resulting in some inventive renditions you won&#039;t find anywhere else. What can diners expect at Public Eatery? Eight participating food stalls at the Public Eatery will be offering tasty interpretations of SPAM with seventeen imaginative and creative renditions, each one representing both modern takes and comforting nostalgic notes reaffirming once more why we love SPAM. At the launch, I sampled five dishes from two resident stalls......starting with the Japanese noodle inspired creations from Tsukemen Ramen &amp; Tsukemen HQ with the duo of SPAM Carbonara Tsukemen (P 520) and SPAM Hot &amp; Spicy Abura Soba (P 420). Japanese noods made better with SPAM? Believe it...The SPAM Carbonara Tsukemen is an inventive interpretation inspired by the traditions of both east and west with hearty dipping noodles served with an indulgently rich and thick carbonara bonito broth topped with velvety and silky smooth egg yolk, grated Parmesan and a sheet of crisp and briny nori finished with a generous load of SPAM Less Sodium cubes. The creamy richness of the carbonara inspired rendition makes this dish one of many top picks at the SPAM and Public Eatery collab with the comforting notes of the classic Italian pasta translated with bold flavors in true Japanese style. The distinctive hints of nori and grated Parmesan combine for vibrant pops of flavors made richer with egg followed by the subtle and delectable salty and savory hints of SPAM Less Sodium. But it&#039;s the piping hot carbonara bonito broth that completes the dish, taking the medley of flavors a notch higher with its creamy notes complemented by the sharpness of Parmesan and the SPAM Less Sodium for a clever twist. Simply dip the noodles into the carbonara bonito broth and repeat. The thick creamy carbonara bonito broth immediately drapes and coats each noodle delivering bold savory notes.The SPAM Carbonara Tsukemen is familiar and comforting yet refreshingly new and different with the addition of SPAM Less Sodium in the mix for a crave busting option at Public Eatery. The gentle salty hints from the SPAM Less Sodium combined with Parmesan works perfectly with the dish, coming together in a seamless weave of savory notes with every bite. Craving for some soothing heat? Tsukemen Ramen &amp; Tsukemen HQ has just the right dish for you with the SPAM Hot &amp; Spicy Abura Soba. The dry noodle ramen dish features soft, thick yet firm soba topped with sunny side-up egg, nori, fresh and crisp green onions, the sharp bite of the red onions and SPAM Hot &amp; Spicy for that gentle whisper of lingering spice that will have you going for another bite. Each contrasting flavor complements the other, with the subtle heat from the SPAM Hot &amp; Spicy teasing the palate with just the right levels of spice to cut through the savory richness of the dish for a delicately balanced finish. The grilled slabs of SPAM Hot &amp; Spicy are the perfect side to the sumptuous bowl.Both the SPAM Carbonara Tsukemen and SPAM Hot &amp; Spicy Abura Soba tips the scale in terms of flavor, but it&#039;s the comfortingly familiar notes of SPAM that ties everything together with each successive bite. SPAM in tsukemen and soba noods just works. At Public Eatery, you can discover all the layers of flavors anchored on your favorite SPAM creatively interpreted in a variety of executions, culinary styles and cooking techniques. Like Tex-Mex and Mexican staples with that tasty SPAM spin. And Lagrima offers a savory trifecta of SPAM based renditions from the SPAM Taco (P 200), the SPAM Burrito (P 450), and the SPAM Quesadilla (P 500). From Japanese noods to Mexican style wraps and bites, the versatility of SPAM is once again celebrated with the inspired dishes by Lagrima...The tempting trio reimagines popular Tex-Mex fare with SPAM, and Lagrima nails it with the SPAM Taco, SPAM Burrito and SPAM Quesadilla. The globalization of the brand remains one of its enduring legacies with both nostalgic memories and modern interpretations firmy solidifying its place on the world&#039;s dining table. And Lagrima adds to the merry mix of flavors at Public Eatery with its savory SPAM based offerings......starting with the SPAM Taco. Lagrima&#039;s Gringa Tacos is a loaded treat with heaping mounds of refried beans, eggs, marble potatoes, onions and cilantro capped with SPAM Hot &amp; Spicy for that flavorful punch on a soft flour tortilla. Roll it up and tilt your head for that first bite......with the flavors from the various components bringing layers of distinct notes followed by the mildly sharp, salty and spicy hints from the SPAM Hot &amp; Spicy completing the flavorful play. A dab of Salsa Verde and House Crema along with a fresh squeeze of lemon brings out even more flavors to tease the palate. The refried beans brings comforting nutty notes while the fresh and crisp onions delivers a subdued sharpness with each bite. The eggs and marble potatoes makes this a solid hand-held meal or snack but it&#039;s the mild spice from the SPAM Hot &amp; Spicy that completes the flavors. Think of it as the secret ingredient that ties everything together. The SPAM Quesadilla filled with cheese, eggs and SPAM Classic brings a delectable play on contrasting textures and flavors yet well balanced guaranteeing bursts of cheesy goodness complemented by the savory sharpness from the SPAM Classic. One more bite and the SPAM Classic takes over complemented by the cheese and eggs. A dab of House Salsa elevates the flavors, pairing well the filling of eggs, cheese and SPAM Classic. Paired with crisp nachos, the SPAM Burrito generously filled with cheese, refried beans, marble potatoes, eggs and SPAM Chicken is one more crave buster from Lagrima&#039;s repertoire of SPAM creations. And this one&#039;s a hefty meal in itself. The light and delicate notes of the SPAM Chicken blends well with the assorted filling of cheese, refried beans, marble potatoes and eggs. Like a breakfast burrito, the SPAM Burrito is the perfect snack or light meal any time of day. The SPAM Taco, SPAM Quesadila and SPAM Burrito by Lagrima. And the SPAM Carbonara Tsukemen and the SPAM Hot &amp; Spicy Abura Soba by Tsukemen Ramen &amp; Tsukemen HQ. That&#039;s just five savory SPAM renditions from two participating stalls at Public Eatery with six more resident stalls and twelve more limited edition dishes to discover and experience at the SPAM x Public Eatery collab. Be sure to check out the creations from Gochugang, Bored &amp; Hungry, Thomson Road, Ono, Alya Pasta and Mr. Fried Rice for even more tempting choices. The creative and playfully inventive renditions with SPAM are a welcome addition to the variety of offerings at Public Eatery. And that&#039;s all the reasons you need to head to Robinsons Magnolia. Love SPAM? SPAM and Public Eatery gives seventeen dishes to enjoy the iconic and beloved brand with a refreshed twist. Public Eatery remains one of the innovative players in the local dining scene, and it continues to elevate the game with its impressive variety and value all in one place.

<title>The Arita Wagyu Experience With Arita Wagyu: An Okura Collaboration At Yawaragi in Hotel Okura Manila</title>

<description><![CDATA[ From the pristine Miyazaki Prefecture on the southeastern coast of Kyushu, the famed Arita Wagyu formally announces its arrival to the elegant local fine dining scene with a luxurious feast at Yawaragi in Hotel Okura Manila. Masterfully executed, here&#039;s a rare peek at one of the world&#039;s finest beef lavishly executed by renowned Grand Chef of Japanese Fine Dining of Okura Hotels &amp; Resorts, Chef Tadashi Sawauchi...In celebration of the 70th Philippine-Japan Friendship Month, Hotel Okura Manila in collaboration with Arita Farm and Okura Hotels &amp; Resorts hosted a series of memorable dinners showcasing world class Japanese produce and ingredients including the coveted Arita Wagyu by Okura Hotels &amp; Resorts Grand Chef of Japanese Fine Dining Tadashi Sawauchi at Yawaragi in Hotel Okura Manila. The sumptuous 7-Course feast paired with exquisite sake highlighted the legendary savory richness of the acclaimed Japanese Arita Wagyu in a variety of creative and imaginative renditions for a proper celebration of the 70th Philippine-Japan Friendship Month. And there&#039;s just no better setting than Yawaragi at Hotel Okura Manila for an impressive Arita Wagyu feast (for more on Yawaragi at Hotel Okura Manila, see my previous posts Saga, A Wagyu Tasting Journey At Yawaragi In Hotel Okura Manila from November last year and Kissed By Fire And Smoke, It&#039;s The Japanese Street Food Experience Elevated With The New Yawaragi Grill Menu At Hotel Okura from early March this year). Dubbed Arita Wagyu: An Okura Collaboration, the three-day series represents one of many culinary highlights by Hotel Okura Manila...  ...with the latest collaboration celebrating one of Japan&#039;s iconic and much sought after world-class Wagyu brands. The story of Arita Wagyu traces all the way back to more than seven decades ago in Japan&#039;s famed Miyazaki Prefecture, often regarded as the &quot;Home of Japan&#039;s Finest Wagyu.&quot; It&#039;s a story anchored on a simple philosophy, Earth Medicine Zero which dictates and guides the rich Miyazaki Prefecture&#039;s culinary and Wagyu tradition and heritage focusing on raising cattle in harmony with nature through thoughtful farming practices. This philosophy is more than a standard operational practice, it&#039;s a passion lived and breathed throughout all the sun-lit barns barns housing approximately 8,000 Japanese black cattle nurtured in low stress environments. Along the way, Arita Wagyu has earned distinctive global recognition with the latest accolade resulting in a prestigious Gold Medal at the 2025 World Steak Challenge. At the helm of the special collaboration is Grand Chef of Japanese Fine Dining of Okura Hotels &amp; Resorts Tadashi Sawauchi who brings with him years of experience with elegant Japanese cuisine and Arita Wagyu. Joining Chef Tadashi Sawauchi for the special collaboration are Hotel Okura Manila&#039;s Japanese Executive Chef Keiichiro Fujino and The Okura Tokyo Assistant Chef Jumpei Yamanashi. Rounding out the stellar cast are Hotel Okura Manila&#039;s culinary team led by Yamazato Specialty Sushi Chef Ikuma Sato, Specialty Teppan Chef Katsuji Kato and Yawaragi Senior Pastry Chef Vi Serrano. Hotel Okura Manila&#039;s top management and chefs led by General Manager Jan Marshall formally opened the dinner with a ceremonial toast......as guests to the exclusive event enjoyed premium sake from Yawaragi&#039;s extensive selection. One more soothing sip opens the palate for yet another memorable and flavorful episode at Hotel Okura Manila&#039;s prestigious Yawaragi. Known the world over for its exceptional and decadent marbling, deep and flavorful richness and indulgent melt-in-your-mouth finish, Grand Chef of Japanese Fine Dining of Okura Hotels &amp; Resorts Tadashi Sawauchi presents his equally impressive renditions for Arita Wagyu: An Okura Collaboration at Yawaragi. The sumptuous feast began with the beautifully plated Zensai, a delectable trifecta of intricate savory starters paired with the refreshingly crisp notes of the Sparkling Takara Seishu &quot;Mio&quot; Sake... ...featuring melt-in-your-mouth Arita Wagyu Braised Beef Brisket with Vinegared Mustard Miso Sauce......the velvety smooth and silky Onion Milk Soup with tender deep-fried Arita Wagyu Beef Sirloin......and the Boiled Shrimp and Arita Wagyu Dried Beef Knuckle with Tofu Sauce. Each creation brings a delectable play on rich yet subtle nuanced notes in a delicate fine balance with each component complementing the other. Each distinctive note pops in a gentle burst followed by more lavish layers of flavor in a complex yet seamless weave. For the second course, Chef Tadashi Sawauchi brings the flavors of the land and seas in one elaborate creation paired with the deep and bold notes of the Kubota Junmei Daiginjo......with Rolled Roasted Arita Wagyu Beef Sirloin with Sliced Leek, Egg Yolk Soy Sauce; Rare Center Roasted Arita Wagyu Beef Knuckle Sashimi Style with Wasabi Soy Sauce and Kombu Cured Red Sea Bream and Marinated Tuna Toro. The distinctive buttery notes of the sirloin and beef knuckle drapes the palate with a lingering richness while the fresh, clean flavors of the Sea Bream and Toro ends the course with its deceptively simple and equally rich notes. The play on flavors are masterfully executed by Chef Tadashi Sawauchi in deliberate stages, slowly building up to tease the palate. The pronounced flavors of the Masumi Sanka Junmai Daiginjo are perfectly paired with the bold notes of the Cold Arita Wagyu Beef Sirloin Shabu-Shabu with Sesame and Hebesu Sauce and the Grilled Spanish Mackerel and Summer Vegetables with Black Vinegar Glaze. Each savory bite offers contrasting flavors, each one taking your Arita Wagyu experience up a notch. It&#039;s this gradual progression of flavors using different cuts and cooking techniques orchestrated by Chef Tadashi Sawauchi that clearly differentiates this all Wagyu feast from the rest, setting it apart from the usual. Next, Chef Tadashi Sawauchi teases your palate with a refreshing yet equally flavorful change of pace with the Nimono paired with Sharaku Junmai Ginjo. The smooth thick sauce ties all the flavors together with the fork-tender Arita Wagyu Braised Beef Brisket and the potent punch of karashi or Japanese hot mustard cutting through the savory richness for an elegantly balanced finish. The binchotan fired grill at Yawaragi comes to life as Chef Tadashi Sawauchi prepares the next course for Arita Wagyu: An Okura Collaboration......with the Shizakana, Japanese Arita Wagyu Top-Blade Steak with Leek Sauce and Teriyaki Sauce paired with Shichida Junmai Ginjo. Simply seasoned, the pure and unrestrained natural flavors of the famed Arita Wagyu comes through from the very first bite......followed by the pronounced sweetness of the Leek and Teriyaki Sauce. Chef Tadashi Sawauchi masterfully balances the composition of flavors while retaining the clean and savory beefy notes of the Arita Wagyu Top Blade Steak as the main profile of the dish. Then, Chef Tadashi Sawauchi presents a decadent trio of subtle savory notes with the Shokuji......starting with the exquisite duo of Nigiri Sushi of Lightly Blanched Tuna and Seared Kombu Cured Arita Wagyu Beef Sirloin......the comforting Special Consomme Soup in Japanese Style with Shrimp, White Fish and Vegetables warming the palate with each sip......and the Arita Wagyu Beef Tenderloin Special Bara-Chirashi Sushi. Starting with the Nigiri Sushi of tuna and beef, one enjoys pure and uncluttered flavors smoothened by the light and delicate notes of the Special Consomme culminated with hearty bites of the Arita Wagyu Beef Tenderloin Bara-Chirashi Sushi in a choregraphed medley of flavors and textures by Chef Tadashi Sawauchi. In a feast of numerous courses, Chef Tadashi Sawauchi maintains full control with the pace and levels of flavors for a smooth and impressive Arita Wagyu experience at Yawaragi. Award-winning Yawaragi Senior Pastry Chef Vi Serrano caps the ultimate Arita Wagyu experience with her tempting Kanmi, an elaborate expression of pure and intricate decadence with Fresh Muscat Grapes, Vanilla Panna Cotta, Green Apple Jelly, Greek Yogurt Ice Cream and Muscovado Sable. The luscious textures and gentle palate-pleasing sweetness are tempered by hints of tartness from the green apples, best paired with Yawaragi&#039;s tea selection. From starters to mains, sake pairing and dessert, the Arita Wagyu: An Okura Collaboration at Yawaragi in Hotel Okura Manila has to be included in in one of many indelible culinary highlights for the year. An elegant feast with Arita Wagyu from the Miyazaki Prefecture paired with premium sake, there&#039;s just no better way to celebrate the milestone 70th Philippine-Japan Friendship Month. Whatever the occasion, Yawaragi is the perfect setting for your next dining experience and always high up on my list as a top dining destination in the metro. Yawaragi Restaurant is located at the 5th Floor of Hotel Okura Manila, 2 Portwood Street, Newport World Resorts, Newport City, Pasay City, Metro Manila.

<title>Satisfy Your Cravings With Comforting Cuisine And Breakfast All&#45;Day At The Morning After</title>
<link>https://philippineexaminer.com/satisfy-your-cravings-with-comforting-cuisine-and-breakfast-all-day-at-the-morning-after</link>
<guid>https://philippineexaminer.com/satisfy-your-cravings-with-comforting-cuisine-and-breakfast-all-day-at-the-morning-after</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The morning after always calls for a satisfying and hearty meal. That craving comes with a complex rundown on how to properly address the situation, starting with where and what to eat. And it gets more complicated when you decide as a group. But the equation is surprisingly simple, and it&#039;s as easy as heading down to The Morning After in Greenhills Mall... We&#039;ve all experienced the same dilemma countless times. You and your friends are out for an early start for breakfast, a quick lunch or a well-deserved dinner after a long day at work and rarely is there a clear and common pick on the choice of restaurant or even the cuisine. That changes with a simplified solution guaranteed to satisfy any craving all in one spot. From Filipino and international breakfast and brunch all-day staples like Breakfast Bagnet, House-Cured Tocino, Crispy Chicken &amp; Waffle, Steak &amp; Eggs and the Full English Breakfast to sumptuous and comfortingly familiar classics for lunch and dinner including pasta, pizza, sandwiches, Lechon Kawali, Binagoongan Porchetta, Barbeque Ribs and other grilled specialties, The Morning After by the The Morning After Group simplifies the breakfast, lunch and dinner situations with its extensive menu. Step inside The Morning After in Greenhills for a tasty peek...Anchored on the promise of bringing an impressive array of unique global flavors with local warmth, The Morning After Group began its own culinary journey with a simple dream:  to serve comfort food and make breakfast feel extra special. Eleven years after opening its very first branch down south at Nuvali, The Morning After now has a growing network of locations expanding to key areas including Evo City, Vermosa, Festival Mall, Greenhills Mall and SM City Marikina. And the progressive restaurant group now boasts of additional restaurant concepts in its portfolio with Antro Kitchen &amp; Tap, Rice &#039;N Spice, Burger Locale, Golden Yolk and Luzviminda. The secret behind The Morning After&#039;s success is no secret at all, and it can all be traced back to the simple joys of sharing warm meals and creating lasting memories celebrated with a full repertoire of sumptuous dishes enjoyed from breakfast, lunch and dinner. And there&#039;s just no better way to start any day than with a soothing cup of freshly brewed Black or Barako coffee and unlimited free refill with a single purchase of any dish from the menu. After all, what goes best with a cup of coffee? Another cup, of course.  Inside The Morning After in Greenhills Mall, the calming indoor garden design concept becomes the perfect backdrop for a leisurely meal of comforting flavors. In a busy mall setting, The Morning After provides a welcome change of pace setting the tone for a satisfying meal. The deep, bold yet refreshing notes of the Barako warms the palate......opening it up for the rich and vibrant flavors from the savory duo of new Filipino dishes from the menu, the Kare-Kare Porchetta (P 575) served with rice and Sinigang na Salmon (P 550). Rain or shine, the timeless kare-kare and sinigang combo always hits the spot. Any day, any time. And the kitchen at The Morning After takes it up a notch with their renditions using crisp and juicy porchetta and premium salmon for an elegant reinterpretation of traditional flavors. The soothing warmth of the sinigang broth soured by tamarind and calamansi teases the palate with its bright tartness followed by the subtle sweetness from the medley of fresh vegetables and the indulgent notes of the salmon. Fresh radishes, string beans, pechay, tomatoes, onions, kangkong or water spinach and the pronounced smoky hints from the grilled eggplant brings its own lavish and distinct flavors into play complementing the buttery richness of the salmon. The flavors are uncluttered, fresh and clean with each sip lingering long on the palate while another bite of the near melt-in-your-mouth salmon completes the indulgent flavors of the local classic. That distinctive sharp tartness from the tamarind and calamansi are elegantly smoothened by the rich buttery notes of the salmon for that delicately balanced finish. No dipping sauce needed, the Sinigang na Salmon packs all the flavor with each sip and bite. All you need now is a bowl of steamed white rice to make it a real meal. We&#039;ve seen food trends come and go the past few years and with social media now a part of our daily feed, we&#039;ll see even more to come. But there are certain dishes and flavors that remain part of our identity that goes beyond mere trends like the Sinigang na Salmon that just takes you back on a nostalgic journey for a taste of home. The modern diner is spoiled by a continuous stream on the feed in various social media, yet there are times when real cravings tend to lean toward more recognizable flavors. It&#039;s times like these when the menu at The Morning After hits home. Known and nostalgic flavors continue to remain relevant despite the onslaught of social media and The Morning After builds on this for meaningful differentiation. Another traditional dish gets The Morning After touch with the Kare-Kare Porchetta to add to your comforting feast. Imagine a slab of crunchy roasted porchetta on pechay, grilled eggplant and string beans and that thick yet velvety smooth peanut sauce with a side of bagoong or fermented shrimp paste. It&#039;s that delectable contrast in textures and flavors that makes this familiar dish refreshingly new and different. Sure, it&#039;s been done before but that doesn&#039;t change the way the dish is enjoyed. The textural play on that crunch with the nutty sweetness of thick peanut sauce still delights the palate no matter how many versions you&#039;ve tried. And The Morning After stays true to its promise of serving comfort food inspired by memory in an evolving local culinary and dining landscape consumed by trends. It&#039;s the kare-kare you&#039;ve always loved but with that textural element of crunch totally transforming the dish. The porchetta itself has a light and delicate crispness, pairing well with the deep, nutty hints of the thick peanut sauce. A dab of bagoong with another scoop of rice becomes a recurring pattern immediately repeated after each bite and this plate is soon gone along with the empty bowl of steamed white rice. Savory, sweet and salty, it&#039;s this seemingly opposing blend of contrasting flavors that make the dish an all-time fave in everyone&#039;s list and The Morning After faithfully recreates all these in a well executed dish.  The Morning After also offers a tempting selection of desserts and cakes for that perfect sweet ending. For me, another freshly brewed cup of Barako just seals the deal. The Kare-Kare Porchetta and Sinigang na Salmon are welcome additions to the growing menu of The Morning After, reaffirming its focus on comfort cuisine and a promise made a little more than a decade ago. It&#039;s safe to say that The Morning After stayed the course while remaining consistent in a rapidly changing and extremely competitive culinary and dining scene with its pair of new savory dishes. Any time your craving for comfort food hits with your friends, you can always simplify the situation.
