Chef Tatung has released the new 10-course menu of his by-reservations-only private dining spot in Antipolo, Rizal. The menu, which he calls Nurturing Roots, showcases little known ingredients, flavors and preparations from different parts of the country.
Among the dishes Chef Tatung presents in his new menu are Duck Floss Wrap inspired by the Maranao pastil, his take on the Tacloban tamales, and the Saksak Sinagol. The latter is a crop preparation from across the Visayas and Mindanao popular during times when rice is scarce. He adds his own touch to make these dishes truly special and memorable. His new menu, features entirely new recipes from his debut menu that earned raves from his dinners. This new menu will be available until October.
Chef Tatung is best known for his multimedia presence as an award-winning and best-selling author and the man behind Simpol, an online cooking show. In 2017, he earned the distinction of being the representative of the Philippines in Madrid Fusion, held in Madrid, Spain, where he also got to cook and showcase Philippine cuisine in Michelin-starred restaurants.
His cooking is described as honest and straightforward, delicious with a touch of whimsy. The ambiance and service at his garden enclave heighten the whole destination dining experience.
Chef Tatung opened his private hillside home in Rizal last May to welcome diners willing toventure off the beaten track for an exquisite dining experience. Truth to tell: The exact address of the destination dining place is revealed only to those who reserve. This “queer” condition has made the pandemic-born hideaway an even more popular dining destination just off the metro.
