Share the Abundance of Success
Golden Rat Seeks The Ingot Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the welcoming of new beginnings and fresh starts. It is an important holiday for the Chinese, celebrated with iconic red lanterns, loud, colorful fireworks, parades and massive banquets with family and close friends. Celebrations span for over 15 days, with meaningful traditions practiced throughout. Red is used in almost all new year decorations and worn in clothing to bring good fortune. Firecrackers are set off on Chinese New Year’s Eve to ward away bad luck and evil spirits and in the morning after to welcome the new year. Food also has special meaning for the Chinese. Nian gao, a sweet, sticky rice cake, is traditionally eaten during Chinese New Year. Gao is a homonym for “higher each year”, symbolizing success and progress every year. It is also popular to give oranges to family and friends because orange in Chinese is ji, which means "good luck". Welcome the Year of the Rat and celebrate good fortune, good health and a propitious 2020 with traditional Cantonese cuisine at Summer Palace. Our Chinese New Year Wealth set menus are available starting at Php25,858 nett for a table of 10 persons.

LA CABRERA

La Cabrera One doesn’t have to travel far afield to taste the legendary authentic Argentinian cuisine. Luckily, it’s all here in this hidden gem right in the heart of Ortigas Center, a premium steakhouse all the way from Buenos Aires, La Cabrera.
|
ISSUE NO.6
2020
a favorite among Argentinians, is a thin, allmeat cut, tougher than other cuts but very rich and flavorful. Cuadril (rump steak) is the leanest cut, slightly crispy edges with pure and distinct tang. Asado del Centro (short ribs) is textured and chewy but very tasty. All steaks come with an array of delectable hot and cold side dishes.
It is no great revelation that the Argentinian-style of grilling has made a name internationally for being one of the world's best grilling traditions. Argentina takes its beef very seriously and has mastered the art of grilling tender, non-ordinary cuts of flavorful beef through a time-honed cooking technique perfected on its vast grassy plains. The process starts from skipping the marinade and picking high-quality meats, all the way to cooking the beef low and slow using hot coals and achieving the perfect crust. More than the food itself, Argentinian grilling is a ritual and ceremony.
W h e n indulging in Argentinian dishes, the wine of choice is certainly a Malbec. It is the country’s signature wine, which tends to be fruitforward with a velvety soft texture. Malbec wines are bold, full-bodied red wines with balanced tannins, hence, pairs exquisitely well with the Argentinian style of grilling steaks in La Cabrera.
What makes La Cabrera steaks special is its proprietary way of charcoal grilling thick meat without butter nor marinade, yet it allows the steak to remain incomparably tender, juicy and flavorful. Thus, there should be no hesitation when it comes to ordering, just go straight for the beef!
Aside from grills, La Cabrera also offers other mouth-watering dishes, from appetizers to salads, pastas and degustacións. Here are some of their must-try’s: seleccion de chorizos - criollo, butifarra and morcilla (Php 995), entraña, verdes y aderezo – skirt steak, arugula and parmesan with orange balsamic or lemon ginger dressing (Php 1,295) and its heavenly dessert sampler for sharing − sugar crepe with dulce de leche topped with vanilla ice cream, chocotorte, pavlova with fresh fruits, alfajores, and rogel (Php 995).
La Cabrera’s Trio de Carnes (Php 4,995) will let you sample three of the best traditional Argentinian cuts. The unique characteristic of each differs in its meat’s natural taste, and you’ll know it when you taste it! Entraña (skirt steak),
La Cabrera is located at the Mezzanine level of the hotel. For inquiries and reservations, call +63 967 236 7940 or email lacabreramanila@gmail.com.

THE
LIFE
A quintessential gourmet, Alex shares the 3 things that, to him, make the good life.
1
Celebrating relationships with food and drink. Indeed, one of the cornerstones of wellbeing are the relationships At the Fantinel Seaside Brunch at Reservations in Paradise 2016, Shangri-La's Boracay Resort & Spa
we cultivate in our lifetime. One would quickly agree that nothing helps bring people better – and closer – together than food and drink. Throughout the millennia, we have celebrated life with it, commiserated our journey’s challenges over it, built bridges between differences from it, and created precious moments around it.
Bacchus Épicerie boasts of a highly curated selection of wines, featuring some of the world’s best. Great Burgundy wineries such as Louis Jadot and Italian wineries such as Antinori offer excellent wines below Php1,000. On the other end of the spectrum, such wines as the famous Cristal by Louis Roederer, regarded by many as the first prestige cuvée, is carried here, too. It was first created for Tsar Alexander II of Russia in 1876 during a time of great political turmoil. Fearing for his life, the Tsar commanded that his Champagne bottles for his Three Emperors Dinner be made clear with flat bottoms, to ensure no bombs were contained within. The wine was made available to the public only in 1945.

Ordinary days made extraordinary with quality experiences. Each day, we have the choice to elevate our experience into something more soulful and purposeful. This means choosing to Be, Do and Have the best of what is possible. It is choosing quality over quantity, as a matter of principle. It is choosing to taste and savor the good that is before you, making you present in the moment.

Why Shape Matters, according to Riedel: Grape varietal specific stemware features finely-tuned glass bowls consisting of 3 variables: shape, size and rim diameter. Grape varietal specific stemware has to translate the “message” of wine to the human senses. (Source: Riedel.com)
3 Travel well. Travel is simply the best education, as well as the greatest pleasure. By traveling, one unravels the mysteries of the world, grows and expands perception, and derives inspiration to create even greater things. Travel is not limited to seeing the world – one may travel, too, through books, through tales, A wonderful memory at Château Margaux. It was a perfect day!
through art and film. My favorite way to travel is through food and wine. And, oh, the many fascinating stories they tell!
For decades, Bacchus Épicerie has been importing some of the finest cheeses from around the world. Food lovers will enjoy a unique and varied selection from the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Switzerland, all providing exciting flavors and textures to explore.
