  • 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.
