Sega BGC Executive Chef Pepe Castillo will be bringing “A Taste of BGC” on May 25-29 at Seda Centrio’s Misto, seeking to bring to the City of Golden Friendship the standards of BGC, the most cosmopolitan city in the Philippines
Misto, Seda’s signature restaurant, is the Italian word for “mixed”, a term that describes the medley of international flavors that comprise its a la carte selection ranging from universal classics to Filipino favorites.
“The key,” says Chef Pepe, “is precise timing, plus the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients.” His food has consistently garnered rave reviews from diners who find the experience doubly impressive due to his artistic presentations.
