Traveling has certainly evolved. In earlier years, we travel to shop, but now, most of the global brands are already here in the Philippines. We instead find ourselves traveling to enjoy the local cuisine. Just a few hours from Manila, and into neighboring Asian countries, we get a taste of authentic local cuisine. Well Manila, you're in for a treat! For a whole month, starting September 17 to October 15, 2015, you can go on a culinary journey to Korea, China and Japan through Marriott Manila's North Asian Food Festival at the newly reopened Marriott Café.
Marriott Manila's Best Chefs are joined by International Guest Chefs for a month long fete, to make your culinary journey enjoyable. Imagine going on a journey to the Land of the Morning Calm for authentic bulgogi, japchae, galbi and Korean hot pots. Travel on to the Land of the Rising Sun for fresh sushi, sukiyaki, katsu and savor roast meat, steamed fish, and choose from a wide selection of Chinese dimsum specialties at the Middle Kingdom.
A week ago, Mickey and I had the privilege to go on this culinary journey as Marriott Café reopened with their North Asian Food Festival.
