Tuna Kinilaw
An elevated version of Filipino ceviche, featuring fresh tuna and often presented on a crispy prawn cracker.
"Other noteworthy dishes of the night include their savoury take on ensaymada (truffle butter with duck prosciutto??? hello???) & their tuna kinalaw (think ceviche, served on a prawn cracker)."
Charleigh Sugui
Ube Flan
A refreshing and beautifully textured dessert that puts a unique spin on the traditional Filipino leche flan, incorporating ube (purple yam).
"The highlights for us: the tuna kinilaw, the ensaymada with the burrata addon, and the Ube Flan to finish off the experience."

Salmon Sinigang
A refined version of the classic Filipino sour soup, featuring salmon and often with a unique twist like cherry.
"A personal favourite of mine was the salmon sinigang with cherry (?). I had to finish the broth even when there was no salmon left to go with it."

Lobster Dumplings
Delicate dumplings filled with lobster, offering a rich and flavorful experience.
"Our highlights were the lobster dumplings, the short rib kare kare and the dessert."
