ELEGANT SUNDAY BRUNCH AT RAFFLES' MIREIO

Sunday is the best day to have a relaxing and intimate brunch. It's not too early and it's just that perfect time to regroup and have a delicious way to just enjoy the end of a week. At RAFFLES MAKATI'S MIREIO, they have a luxury inspired themed buffet that would definitely make your taste buds tingle with joy. It's quite deceptive but with all the high end dishes that they serve, you'll definitely have a grand time visiting them on a Sunday Brunch.
As you enter the restaurant, a number of dishes will greet your eyes. There are starters like different types of cheese and freshly baked breads and cold cuts. Furthermore, there are salads and small bites that would definitely tease you to get more.
The mains are really set on making you feel how blessed it is on a Sunday. They have huge cuts of prime rib.
You could actually ask them for your preference.
There is also lamb that doesn't have that gaminess feel. Quite delicious.
For Filipinos, Sunday Celebrations aren't complete without roasted pig. Here we have the lechon all carved up and ready for the taking.
Seafoods are also prepared and could be cooked with butter. Having lobsters seals the deal.
MIREIO'S Sunday Brunch is made more important because of the different live stations.
One has an "open faced" sandwich ready for the taking. All you need to do is pick which one would make it to your table. It could be a guacamole inspired with peas on top or a ham with cream cheese and  a salmon with beet puree.
They also have afresh ceviche station that could make salmon or tuna for you. They add a bit of truffle to make the experience wonderful.
Another must not miss station would be the risotto.
Each order is cooked right on the spot. They're also mixed inside a cheese wheel to make it creamier and decadent.
Plus, diners are treated to some Foie Gras as well. Let me tell you, this liver is just buttery and deadly. I could definitely ask for seconds.
Since Mireio is a French Restaurant, their dessert spread covers different types of French creations. There are macarons, eclairs, and a whole lot more.

MIREIO: A Classic Take on French Cuisine.

There has been a decline in the number of French restaurants in the metro. In recent months, a couple of French establishments closed, giving patrons lesser options when it comes to something provencal. Thankfully, RAFFLES MAKATI introduced MIREIO. With bright interiors and a graceful set up, lunch at MIREIO is more fun than serious.
The menu in itself is versatile. It is perfect for a quick power lunch or a get together with long time friends. Starters are delicious and light. Simple yet sophisticated, the ingredients pour out to great you. Such is the case of the TOMATO TART. A generous serving of snails is placed on top of a crunchy flat bread that is mixed with tomato and parmesan cheese. With the basil dressing, everything jives together.
To wake up the senses, the PORK NECK and CHICKEN LIVER TERRINE is superb. Vivid flavors pop out with each bite. Having it with the pickled vegetables gives you a distinct profile that surprises the palette.
The CLASSIC BEEF TARTAR though must not be missed. Using only the freshest ingredients, a mixture of egg and high quality meat is presented with a battery of seasoning. This could definitely be French Cuisine's answer to sushi.
Speaking of seafood, non-meat eaters would enjoy the SALMON TARTAR. Topped with goat cheese and deep fried crisy skin, this has a more healthier flavor.
Moving on to a more serious note, this traditional puff pastry is filled with chicken and foie gras. One would immediately think that this dish would be dry and tough. Surprisingly, the chicken meat is moist and tremendously tender. The foie gras gave it a more smoother feel. The shell is also a bit crispy and held its form.
Something a bit similar to Filipino's sisig, this CRISPY PORK GALETTE has a savory note to it. The wrapping is something you could do without but it kept the chopped pork bits crispy. This is a dish that requires a cup of rice.
Even if MIREIO serves delicious cuts of meat that they cook into glorious steak, their seafood section is also a thing of beauty. With most of their ingredients flown in, one could expect that the quality and the flavors of each differs from your ordinary run of the mill supermarket.
As a substitute for rice, you might want to go for the PRAWNS RISOTTO. Each spoonful and you get to taste the sea. Salty but not overly so. Just right to compliment the prawns. Another over achiever would be the SEA BASS. An eye candy, this one is perfectly cooked. Each bite into the meat would provide a creamy texture. Underneath, the ratatouille stuffed canneloni are placed to support and work with the flavors. This one is light yet filling.
Furthermore, guests have the option of getting clams and mussels. Cooked in an unmistakable manner, the best tip one could get is to get a piece of bread and dip it in the sauces. The juices are filled with much gusto.
To end the meal, dessert is but the beginning. The flan tart is a bouncy way to get your fill. Another would be to go for the creme brulee. Each with their own characteristics.

SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD WEEK: It's worth it.

More and more, people tend to be discerning with their food. Not just in terms of taste but also as to where it came from and how one gets them. Accor group of hotels has made it a point to support the SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD WEEK.
One evening in SOFITEL MANILA, guests saw and interacted as to how different hotels in the ACCOR Philippines Group wanted to do with the blessings from the sea.
The spread was filled with different seafood delight. Harvested through the proper way, seafood could definitely sustain and help mankind's way of life.
Aside from the fresh sushi and sashimi, the highlights were the smoked fish done on the spot and also the freshly cooked shrimps on top of a squid ink risotto.
RAFFLES and FAIRMONT headed the group with their rendition of ceviche and Sauteed Squid chorizo.
The ceviche carried the flavors masterfully. There was a balance between the acidity and the freshness of the fish. The Squid dish tasted wonderfully as it was mixed chorizo oil and garlic cream. These dishes would be served in both RAFFLES and FAIRMONT HOTEL. One would purposefully march on over to MIREIO and SPECTRUM to try out these dishes.
Other hotels like NOVOTEL MANILA, and MERCURE produced different seafood inspired dishes that could cater to the hungry tummy. One of the most interesting piece though would be the ASIAN TUNA TACO. Using home made shells with a mixture of tuna and spices made it a joy to eat.
That night ended with amazing sweets and delicious beginnings. Hopefully, everything for the betterment of the environment.
