  • Sawsaw: A Final Toast to Filipino-French Fusion at The Balmori Suites’ Chef’s Table

    The unique fusion of Filipino heritage and French technique of Sisenta continues to captivate taste buds at The Balmori Suites’ Chef’s Table. Initially planned to end on August 25, the pop-up has been extended until August 28.

    Chef Sau Del Rosario’s inventive menu for this pop-up draws inspiration from generations of home cooking. It puts the spotlight on new dishes that harmonize local flavors with the precision of French techniques. The philosophy of constant exploration is evident in every bite. As he says, “I’m still a blank canvas,” taking insights from surroundings, people, and experiences, to create familiar yet imaginative offerings.

    Beyond delightful dishes, Sawsaw boasts a drink menu that is equally deserving of attention. Each tells a story, complementing the culinary journey Chef Sau takes his guests on.

     

    Kamusmusan is a whimsical cocktail that transports drinkers to a carefree childhood. This playful libation features vodka infused with the nostalgic flavor of white rabbit candy, along with refreshing notes of mint. A touch of Hawhaw is in here as well – a beloved childhood candy, that adds sweetness, an unexpected twist.

     

    Promdi is a refreshing concoction that is a homage to provincial roots, blending the robust flavor of bourbon with the tropical sweetness of guava. A unique twist is added with pickling water, lending a tangy complexity, while a splash of lapsed wine adds subtle character.

     

    Suyomano is a reflection of the current chapter, representing “Sesenta.” The drink embodies maturity and depth, crafted with the gin as its base – a refined spirit. The cocktail is elevated with the floral notes of Dionysus Rose and the tropical sweetness of coconut syrup.

    Indulge in the perfect pairing of food and drink at Sawsaw. With just a week left, don’t miss the chance to savor Sawsaw’s tasteful offerings and the captivating drink menu that complements it. For table reservations, contact 0917 556 0917 – open daily from 11AM to 11PM.

  • Discover Filipino craftsmanship at KaPAMANA: The 2024 ArteFino Fair at Rockwell Center Makati

    ArteFino once again returns to Rockwell Center this year with the theme KaPAMANA, as a testament to the Filipino people’s enduring spirit and rich legacy. The theme will not only highlight homegrown brands through bespoke creations but also revitalize local traditions by incorporating modern perspectives into their community. Running from August 22 to 25, the renowned fair will be held at The Fifth at Rockwell.

    Guests can also catch a glimpse of this modern touch to ArteFino’s offerings when they drop by their preview pop-up at the Rockwell Sales Lounge at Power Plant Mall, starting August 9.

     

    Visit the Rockwell Land Sales Lounge at Power Plant Mall for a glimpse of ArteFino’s 2024 fair offerings.

     

    Rockwell and ArteFino have had a long-standing relationship ever since the fair was introduced in 2017 at Penthouse of 8 Rockwell. This served as the first venue of what has become a highly-anticipated event in the Filipino design scene, shining a light on modern Filipino craftsmanship. Since then, the event has been staged in different venues around Rockwell Center. Their shared passion for curated experiences allows guests to immerse in the intricacies of local culture, and its potential to evolve through unique designs in fashion and lifestyle pieces.  

    In 2018, ArteFino centered on the theme of PAMANA, which highlighted Philippine heritage through generational connections — showcasing relationships like best friends, grandparents and grandchildren, and parents and children. The fair continues to honor cultural heritage this year but infuses a modern twist to it. As Marimel Francisco explains, “The focus remains the same, but we are turning the spotlight on contemporary expressions that are rooted in our history. It’s essentially heritage, but not in an old-fashioned way.”

Here, Chef Ricketts introduced a wider audience to his innovative Latin-Asian fusion dishes, blending bold Mexican spices with the vibrant freshness of Asian cuisine. This period marked a pivotal growth phase, solidifying La Chinesca’s status in the culinary scene and setting the stage for even greater achievements.
