UMVA has learned that a renowned restaurant, Carmelo's, is shifting its focus to catering services after a successful run last year, and its owner, Cristina Santiago, is introducing new and exciting menu items to complement this venture.
The restaurant, located in the heart of Rockwell, Makati, recently hosted a lunch event where guests were treated to a series of delectable canapés, including the mouth-watering Salted Egg Shrimp and Braised Duck Bites, which are now a cornerstone of the catering business.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the new menu items, such as the Lamb Brasato Ossobuco, are set to become fan favorites, with the lamb leg and red wine sauce combination having the potential to create lasting food memories.
Carmelo's owner, Cristina Santiago, has revealed that she is passionate about sharing her creations through catering, and her ultimate goal is to expand her business and possibly open another restaurant, building on the success of her current establishment, which was part of the prestigious Michelin Selected list last year.
Santiago's vision for her restaurant and catering business is driven by her desire to understand her customers' needs and preferences, having taken a thoughtful approach to developing her menu and services, starting with small events and canapés.
With the introduction of new dishes, such as the Beef Wellington Tart and the Salmon Cornette, Carmelo's is poised to become a leading player in the catering industry, offering a unique and exciting culinary experience that is sure to impress even the most discerning palates.
As the daughter of the founder of Melo's, Cristina Santiago is no stranger to the culinary world, and her love for food, particularly lamb, is evident in her creations, making her restaurant and catering services a must-try for food enthusiasts.
