Manila House prepares to transform its Avenue Deck into a vibrant tapestry of Filipino flavors with “Fiesta Under the Stars” on January 31st. Imagine an intimate, open-air dining experience where the evening unfolds as a culinary journey, guided by six of the nation’s most celebrated chefs.

The heart of this fiesta lies in three iconic Filipino ingredients: coconut, citrus, and chili. Each chef will interpret these flavors in a trio of exquisite bites – a tantalizing starter, a satisfying main course, and a decadent dessert – resulting in a total of 18 unique creations. Tatung Sarthou, Tina Legarda, Miggy Moreno, Reggie Aspiras, Jayjay Sycip, and Gel Salonga Datu will lead this gastronomic exploration.

Expect a dynamic evening moderated by Ige Ramos and Shariff Pendatun, designed to immerse guests in the rich culinary heritage of the Philippines. “Fiesta Under the Stars” promises an unforgettable experience for those seeking a truly authentic taste of Filipino excellence.

The city is bracing for an unprecedented cocktail experience as Philippine Cocktail Week (PHCW) arrives February 5th to 8th. This isn’t just another festival; it’s a citywide takeover, bringing together 28 of the world’s most acclaimed cocktail bars with 28 of Manila’s finest.

Forget a single venue – PHCW will ignite celebrations across BGC, Legazpi Village, Makati Cinema Square, Poblacion, Jupiter, Quezon City, and San Juan. For four electrifying nights, international cocktail masters will collaborate with local bartenders, crafting exclusive menus and experiences available for one night only.

Prepare to sip creations from globally recognized establishments like COA (Hong Kong), Vesper (Bangkok), and Zest (Seoul), alongside Manila’s own cocktail innovators. This is a rare opportunity to witness a fusion of global expertise and local artistry, elevating the cocktail scene to new heights.

A taste of Bavaria has arrived in the heart of Pasay City with the opening of Brotzeit at Newport Mall. This new restaurant offers a genuine German dining experience, complete with classic dishes and a carefully curated selection of traditional beers.

Brotzeit isn’t just about the food and drink; it’s about the atmosphere. Picture lively conversations flowing around communal tables, creating a warm and inviting space perfect for gathering with friends and family. Discover authentic Bavarian hospitality on the second floor of Newport Mall.

Good news for spice lovers! Mang Inasal has extended the availability of its popular Spicy Pork BBQ until April 30th. Originally slated to end on January 15th, the extension is a direct response to overwhelming customer demand.

The Spicy Pork BBQ has quickly become a favorite since its introduction in late 2025, and Mang Inasal President Mike V. Castro wants to ensure everyone has a chance to experience the fiery flavor. This extended offering allows more customers to indulge in this limited-time delight.
