Beyond the Usual Weekend: Rockwell’s Summer Socials Debuts in Alabang!
For many in the South, enjoying Metro Manila’s most talked-about comfort foods usually means crossing the city. This March, the South’s weekend landscape is taking on a different rhythm as Rockwell’s Summer Socials transforms Alabang Town Center into a gathering place for some of the Metro’s most sought-after culinary names. It’s not just a typical food fair; it’s your first glance at the new Rockwell lifestyle now in your neighborhood.
The Culinary Lineup: From Handcrafted Stacks to Street-Style Tacos
The event’s lineup highlights a handful of vendors known for their distinctive takes on comfort food. Nolita Joe’s signature SPM pizza, topped with sausage, pepperoni, and mushroom, sits alongside the generously stacked burgers from Scratch Burgers. Mang Kaloy Fried Rice offers hearty bowls that elevate familiar Filipino flavors, while Takaw serves street-style tacos and Chino’s Deli offers sandwiches for those seeking something lighter.
Sweet and refreshing options round out the lineup. Minimalist soft-serve from Miruku by Ujisan provides a cool break from the afternoon heat, while The Good Poison and Feisty serve small-batch bottled iced teas. For dessert, Ciento Cookies brings its signature oversized, gooey bakes.
“We wanted to bridge the gap between these cult-favorite flavors and the South,” says a Rockwell events representative. “It’s about bringing that specific energy and taste to a community that values convenience without compromising on quality.”
The Summer Socials offer more than just food. Wabi Sabi’s pottery workshops, led by instructor Jason Tengco, offer a rare opportunity to engage in slow-paced, hands-on creation.
Tactile Art and Analog Memories
To complement the atmosphere, DJs Nica and Cian provide a curated vinyl-style backdrop as the sun sets. Before heading home, attendees can visit The Memory Machine, a vintage chemical-process photobooth that offers a physical, analog alternative to digital snapshots.
Additionally, more merchants will be joining throughout the events, offering new flavors and experiences to discover. The summer festivities continue at The Grove Retail Row and Santolan Plaza from March 20 to 22, before heading to The Proscenium Retail Row from March 25 to 29, and The Pavilions at Nara from March 27 to 29.
Whether you’re here for the bites, the beats, or just the good times, Rockwell’s Summer Socials is the place to be.
See you under the sun!

Basque Flavors, Michelin Flair: GOXO Opens at The Balmori Chef’s Table
When a restaurant built on fire, finesse, and fearless creativity steps into one of the city’s most coveted dining stages, something special is bound to unfold.
From February 6 to March 22, Michelin-recognized GOXO— the intimate 12-seater Bar Asador from Grupo Pintxos— makes its debut at The Balmori Suites Chef’s Table, inviting diners into a limited-time journey through Basque-inspired cuisine shaped by Filipino ingredients, global influences, and the vision of Chef Albert Mendoza.
From Grupo Pintxos to GOXO
“We took the ‘Bar’ from Bar Pintxos and ‘Asador’ from Txoko Asado and merged them into one single identity—and that gave birth to GOXO,” he explains. “What we bring here in The Balmori is that same creativity, the same passion, the same playfulness—guided by Basque cooking techniques.”
At The Balmori, that philosophy translates into an immersive dining experience where technique never overshadows ingredient, and where restraint becomes a form of luxury.
A Rare À La Carte Chapter
Known for its prix fixe tasting format, GOXO takes on a new rhythm at The Balmori with a full à la carte menu—a first for the restaurant in such a large-scale setting.
“This is the first time that GOXO will be there for customers to experience our à la carte dishes in this way,” says Chef Albert. “These are some of our best-sellers from previous menu series—so we’re very confident bringing them here.”
With nearly 50 seats to fill each service, the Balmori pop-up challenges the team to expand GOXO’s intimate style while keeping its meticulous standards intact.
The Menu: Where Basque Technique Meets Filipino Ingenuity
At the heart of GOXO’s Balmori run are dishes that showcase Chef Albert’s gift for transforming tradition into something unexpected yet deeply satisfying.
One standout is the Jamon Talakitok, GOXO’s pescatarian take on Spanish cured ham. What began as an accident in the kitchen—an over-cured local fish left in the chiller—turned into one of the restaurant’s signature creations.
Another highlight is a refined Hamachi Sashimi, layered with Filipino nuance: fresh mustasa standing in for wasabi, and a roasted anchovy jus replacing soy sauce, bringing saltiness and umami into perfect balance.
Simplicity Meets Excellence
At GOXO, every ingredient takes center stage. “There’s a certain parallel between Japanese and Basque cuisine. Both focus on letting ingredients shine,” says Chef Albert. In the Philippines, this philosophy meets local produce, resulting in dishes that are elegant, balanced, and full of flavor.
Fresh off its 2026 Michelin Guide recognition, GOXO brings that same precision and passion to its first-ever appearance at The Balmori Suites Chef’s Table. Guests are invited to embark on an immersive culinary journey, exploring GOXO’s à la carte creations, innovative Basque-inspired flavors, and the team’s commitment to craft and creativity.
This exclusive pop-up runs February 6 to March 22 at The Balmori Suites, Power Plant Mall.
