After a successful run maiden run last month, the City of Golden Friendship’s leading Urban Lifestyle Hotel brings back its “Fine Dining Experience” this Saturday, 19 July at the iconic Misto Club Dining starting at 7 o’clock in the evening.
“Our first takers enjoyed their Seda Centrio Fine Dining Experience so much we have decided to bring it back every third Saturday of the month to allow other people to also get a feel of what it’s like to be in a chef’s table,” said Lorenzo Tang, hotel manager.
With its merry mix of excellent cuisine, fabulous wine, a capella rhythms and butler service, the Fine Dining Experience will still be available at its introductory price of PhP 999 per person nett for a five (5) course meal. Two days advance reservation is required, and dinners are requested to come in formal attire for complete thehaute cuisine ambience.
Seda Centrio’s Fine Dining Experience promises an extraordinary sensory experience for dining habitués, and offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a culinary journey of unforgettable sights, tastes and smells personally hosted by Executive Chef Dean Manalo.
“Our Chef’s Table is dedicated to providing the best food that not only looks good but tastes great,” said Chef Dean. “The Seda Fine Dining Experience brings diners to the heretofore sacrosanct inner sanctum of the Chef’s Table where they can enjoy a special multi-course tasting dinner with an option for wine pairing in the dining room for only PhP 999 nett per person.”
Saturday evening begins with Chef Dean d’ personally welcoming the guests to their special table at Misto’s Fine Dining Section where he previews the details of the menu for the evening.
The multi-course menu is specially created by Chef Dean, who will be on hand to introduce each menu with multisensory theatre such as demonstrating the effect smell has on taste, discuss the philosophy and preparation of the meal.
This Saturday’s culinary adventure starts diners on Carrot Ginger Cream Soup with Seafood Salmon Roll as appetizer and Mesclun with Walnut and Green Apple Jelly Salad tossed in citrus vinaigrette. The main entrée will be a most tender Filet Mignon served with herbed mashed potatoes in green peppercorn sauce. The tenderloin is the most tender cut of beef and is also arguably the most desirable and therefore the most expensive
“As each course comes up, I will explain in detail its special features, how it is prepared and tasting suggestions,” Chef Dean said. “We will also offer diners optional wine pairing of specially selected wines they can choose from to go with their meal.
And for their ending pleasure, Chef Dean will serve up Apple and Triple Nuts Baklava, a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with syrup or honey. It is characteristic of the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire (Turkey), but is also found in Central and Southwest Asia.
“For the dessert course, I will join the group at their private table for a discussion of the evening’s meal, answer questions, and share culinary secrets behind each course’s extraordinary taste,” Chef Dean said. “Guests would also enjoy a complimentary photo taken at the private table with the chef.”
The Seda Centrio Fine Dining Experience can be reserved for a minimum of 10 and maximum of 25 dinners. For reservations, please call (088) 323-8888 today or email
