A Fusion of Cultures and Flavors

Lamb Adobo

The idea for this exciting collaboration sparked during a chance meeting in Melbourne between Chef Roland Laudico and the Adobros team. What began as a conversation about Filipino heritage evolved into a creative culinary venture aimed at elevating Filipino cuisine for an international audience.

“This partnership marries time-honored Filipino recipes with contemporary ingredients and techniques,” says Chef Laudico. “By integrating local Australian produce and modern cooking styles, we’re creating dishes that honor tradition while embracing innovation.”

Where Tradition Meets Transformation

At the heart of this collaboration is a bold yet respectful reinvention of beloved Filipino classics. Drawing inspiration from modern Australian cuisine, Mediterranean and Italian influences, and Filipino culinary traditions, each dish tells a story of identity, memory, and evolution.

Tinola sa Gata

Standout menu items include reimagined versions of Tinola and Afritada, where familiar flavors meet refreshing twists—turning nostalgia into something unexpectedly new.

“I love how food can access a memory,” shares Chef Michael Pastrana. “These dishes reflect where we come from, but also where we’re headed.”

A Global Movement in Every Bite

More than just a limited-time offering, Taste of the Philippines: A Global Culinary Journey is a movement. Through this initiative, Guevarra’s and Adobros aim to position Filipino cuisine as world-class—sophisticated, inventive, and ready for the global stage.

“We want the world to see Filipino food for what it truly is—rich, diverse, and deserving of recognition,” the chefs affirm. “This collaboration is just the beginning.”

Don’t Miss This Unique Buffet Experience

These globally inspired Filipino-Australian creations will be featured as part of Guevarra’s buffet selection starting May 21, 2025. Whether you’re a long-time lover of Filipino food or a curious first-timer, this is your chance to taste the past, present, and future of Filipino cuisine—all on one plate.

The Manila Hotel Offers New Vegan and Vegetarian Dining Options

Monday, May 19

In a bold move to align with mindful gastronomy and sustainability movements, The Manila Hotel—recognized as the Best Heritage Hotel by Tatler Philippines and Philippines Leading Hotel at the World Travel Awards—unveils a curated selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes that will soon be showcased across its dining outlets and banquet offerings. Announced by Marvin Kim Tan, Vice President for Sales and Marketing, the initiative addresses the growing global and local demand for said dishes, while reinforcing the hotel’s commitment to wellness, innovation, and culinary excellence.Tailored for today’s discerning palates, these dishes offer nutritious, flavor-rich alternatives that support a sustainable lifestyle.

More than a culinary shift, the initiative underscores broader benefits: supporting cardiovascular health, minimizing environmental impact, and embracing holistic well-being. By highlighting locally sourced ingredients, the new offering also honors Filipino agriculture and reinforces the hotel’s sustainability ethos.

This forward-thinking initiative stems from a partnership with the hotel’s consultant chef, Riza Shanti Lim—an internationally certified holistic health practitioner, clinical nutritionist, and plant-based culinary advocate. Her expertise was instrumental in the conceptualization, development, and presentation of each dish.

Riza Shanti Lim brings with her a wealth of knowledge and a deeply rooted philosophy of wellness and healing through food. She is a certified Clinical Master Herbalist, Holistic Health Practitioner, and Nutritionist Consultant from the Natural Healing Institute of Naturopathy in San Diego, USA. She also completed training in Plant-Based Culinary Arts at Pataleban Vineyard Resort Meditation in Nepal, and a program in Mindfulness in a Clinical Approach at Harvard Medical School. In addition, she is certified as a Yoga and Meditation Teacher from Yoga Darshanam in Mysore, India, among other global wellness credentials.

To celebrate this milestone, The Manila Hotel hosted an exclusive press dinner at the Champagne Salon on May 7, 2025. The evening featured a thoughtfully prepared, multi-course preview of the vegetarianfine dining menu, executed by Chef Riza Shanti Lim, supervised by Executive Chef Konrad Walter and assisted by The Manila Hotel’s culinary team. 

Guests enjoyed vibrant and beautifully plated dishes including Fresh Garden Spring Roll in Peanut Cream Sauce, Papaine Moringga with Crisps Soup, Fern Salad with Paneer, Vegan Skewers, 8 Spice Curry, and Creamed Buko Pandan Plantain with Chia Seeds.

“At The Manila Hotel, we recognize the growing importance of conscious dining,” shares Konrad Walter, executive chef of The Manila Hotel. “Our enhanced vegan and vegetarian offerings are a reflection of our commitment to wellness, sustainability, and evolving with the modern palate, without compromising the richness, tradition, and flavor that define Filipino cuisine.”

The new vegan and vegetarian dishes will soon be available for private banquets, special events, a dedicated station at the buffet in the renowned Café Ilang-Ilang, and a la carte dining at the hotel’s iconic restaurants—Champagne Room, Red Jade, and Lobby Lounge—as well as through in-room dining and M Takeout.

Homecooked-Style Meals for Heartwarming Holiday Celebrations

Homecooked-Style Meals for Heartwarming Holiday Celebrations

Saturday, December 7

Perfectly cooked fluffy riced with generous chunks of vegetables, meat, and seafood makes Chef Lolit's famous paella the highlight of any gathering

A time for joy, a time for peace, a time for sharing, the holidays bring loved ones together to celebrate and enjoy as they look back on the memories they’ve made while looking forward to making new ones in the year ahead. Preparing for holiday celebrations can be both fun and challenging, hence, it’s important to plan ahead to ensure that you get to focus more time on enjoying rather than worrying if you have already prepared everything.

Food is always the highlight of any gathering, which everyone looks forward to. Save time in food preparations and celebrate the holidays with delicious, hearty comfort meals, lovingly prepared by 12F Kitchen.

From packed meals, party platters, and desserts, Chef Lolit Tolosa and her team have you covered.

A love for cooking

At a time filled with uncertainty, Chef Lolit started making comfort food in her apartment on the 12th floor of her condominium building. From baked treats like fudgy brownies to hearty dishes like beef salpicao, she was able to make a challenging situation more bearable through her creativity in the kitchen. As she delighted her family with delicious home cooked meals, Chef Lolit Tolosa was encouraged to start offering her specialties like gambas al ajillo, Iberian chicken, and of course, her famous beef salpicao, to friends, relatives, and eventually the public through online orders.

As everyone was quarantined at home, Chef Lolit’s sharing trays and packed meals gave her customers a sense of normalcy as they are able to continue enjoying delicious food conveniently and affordably and share it with their loved ones.

Once life went back to “normal”, Chef Lolit briefly had a stint manning the kitchen of a local hotel, but the call to be an entrepreneur was too strong for her to resist and eventually decided to focus all her attention on growing 12F Kitchen, this time partnering with fellow foodie and entrepreneur, and coincidentally, former hotelier and cabin crew, Che Manalang, who works on marketing 12F Kitchen.

“I really love cooking, nothing gives me more joy than being able to make people happy through my food. My friends and family really encouraged me to take my chances and open my own restaurant. After years in the hospitality industry, even before the pandemic, my experience crafting different dishes enabled me to come up with my own recipes for popular comfort food dishes. This is why you’ll see a wide range of menu items. We’re not just catering to those who like Asian dishes, there’s also a good variety of Western dishes in our restaurant, that I personally prepare with my lovely staff.” said Chef Lolit .

Sharing the joy of 12F

Admittedly, while she’s the queen of the kitchen, Chef Lolit needed a hand in being able to get the good word out about 12F Kitchen. Initially she relied on good word of mouth from her relatives, friends, and customers who posted about her food on social media, but as she set her sights on really growing her business, Chef Lolit tapped Che to help her come up with effective marketing strategies.

“The first time I tried Chef Lolit dishes, especially the paella, which was so flavorful with perfectly cooked rice and tender chunks of meat and vegetables, the pumpkin bisque, which is very creamy and tasty, and her take on burnt cheesecake, which is truly decadent, it was an easy choice for me to join her and the rest of the team at 12F Kitchen. As I’ve been an entrepreneur myself, even during my time working in the hospitality and aviation industries, I have a good understanding of what people like. From being an online business, we opened our very own restaurant in Makati, so we can also serve the busy office crowd and the local residents whether they prefer to dine in or to have their food delivered. That’s not to say that we only cater to those in the Makati area, of course our kitchen is also open for pick up orders and deliveries. Thus, our menu has options for solo orders as well as party platters for big groups.” said Che.

Indulge in festive favorites

For the upcoming holiday celebrations, Chef Lolit and Che invites everyone to try 12F Kitchen’s variety of party trays and platters that make it easier for them to enjoy their home or office get togethers. For soups and starters, 12F Kitchen offers molo, pumpkin bisque, gambas, and nachos, which, according to Chef Lolit are all very straightforward as she prefers to stick to traditional recipes but what makes 12F Kitchen’s version is its hearty, home cooked take on these popular dishes. For pasta options, they offer creamy carbonara and bolognese linguine pasta, and for house specialties, there’s beef salpicao, crispy pork belly, and Iberian chicken. Customers should not miss 12F Kitchen’s selection of desserts, burnt cheesecake, brownie, and polvoron to make their celebrations, not just this holiday season, sweeter.

To know more about Kitchen 12F, you may follow @12FKitchen on Facebook and Instagram. You may also visit them at D’Arcade Food Park, GF Unit 05, 7433 Yakal Street, Barangay San Antonio, Makati City, Makati, Philippines or send them an email through 12fkitchen@gmail.com for inquiries and orders.

Five Must-Try Mega Mackerel Recipes

Five Must-Try Mega Mackerel Recipes

Friday, August 30

Did you know that mackerel can be used as the main ingredient in your favorite Pinoy dishes like sinigang, paksiw, and sarsiado? With its tender and flavorful meat, mackerel is a kitchen staple that’s both versatile and delicious. And when you choose Mega Mackerel, you're not just cooking—you’re creating a rich, comforting food that will make every family meal even more special.

Here are five easy recipes of favorite Filipino dishes that you probably didn’t know you could make with mackerel:

1. Mackerel Sinigang

This dish is a favorite among Filipinos, and it’s no wonder that pork sinigang is included in TasteAtlas’ “World’s Best Rated Meat Soups.” It’s a classic on every Filipino dining table, but to give it a twist and make it even more exciting, try using two cans of Mega Mackerel in Natural Oil (155g) instead of pork for a flavorful dish. 

Check out the full recipe here:megaprimefoods.com.ph/mega-mackerel-sinigang/

2. Mackerel Bistek

Bistek is the Filipino version of beef steak, featuring thinly sliced sirloin simmered in citrus juice, soy sauce, onions, and garlic. However, beef can be quite expensive. Fortunately, there’s now an affordable alternative using mackerel. Try replacing sirloin with a can of Mega Mackerel in Natural Oil (245g). You can also marinate it in a calamansi mixture for ten minutes, just like you would with beef. 

For the full recipe, visit: megaprimefoods.com.ph/mega-mackerel-bistek/

3. Mackerel Paksiw

Paksiw is a dish cooked in vinegar. One of the tastiest dishes to make paksiw with is fish. Milkfish or tuna are often used for paksiw, but if you’re looking for a new twist on an ordinary dish, mackerel paksiw is a great choice. Using two cans of Mega Mackerel in Natural Oil, you can create a delicious and meaty dish for the whole family. 

Here's the easy recipe: instagram.com/megamackerel/p/C6DMe3eRr36/

4. Mackerel Sarciado

Sarciado means that the dish is made flavorful with a sauce made from tomatoes and eggs. This dish is also popular for giving new life to leftover fried fish. So if your previous meal was fried tilapia or dalagang bukid, sarciado is usually the next dish to be served. But aside from fried fish, you can also make sarciado with mackerel, and it’s even easier to prepare using one or two cans of Mega Mackerel in Tomato Sauce. Just follow the usual sarciado cooking method and use Mega Mackerel chunks.

5. Mackerel Gata

Coconut milk adds a rich, creamy texture that enhances every ingredient. It serves as the base of the sauce, combining sweetness and richness that flavors the whole dish. Coconut milk pairs perfectly with fish like mackerel, balancing out the fishy taste. The process is simple: after draining the Mega Mackerel, simmer it with vinegar, water, onions, ginger, and garlic, then season with salt and pepper. Add the coconut milk and stir well, then cook the eggplant and chili. Season with fish sauce and pepper before serving.

“Mackerel is an incredibly versatile ingredient. It’s easy to combine with different spices, so you can use Mega Mackerel in your family’s favorite dishes. Just open one or two cans, and it’s ready to cook, making your everyday meals more flavorful, satisfying, and mouthwatering,” added Camacho.

Discover more favorite dishes that you can #MegaMackerelNa at megaprimefoods.com.ph. Mega Mackerel is a product of Mega Prime Foods, Inc. (MPFI).
