Mud Crab with Sichuan Sauce
Before you get to the tender meat of the crab, you will encounter the electrifying sauce drizzled all over the seafood plate.

Paired with the brittle and chewy texture of the bread, this dish satiates and fills your appetite.

Salmon Salsa
Indulge in a different kind of healthy offering with a salad brimming with sour and salty profiles. Greens, cucumber, and red radish mix with the thin salmon slices, which is then twisted with the addition of zest and clumps of sour cream dolloped on top. Tossing these together gives you a sharp and tangy flavor that makes eating your greens quite the pleasantly welcome experience.
Kinilaw and Camote Chips
Chef Chele Gonzales and his team added a different twist to this local dish. Similar to ceviche, expect the remarkable sour taste from its vinegar and acidic fruit juices that infuse the protein. To add depth to the plate, there are introductions of camote chips to balance the overall taste and texture, which enhances the softness of the raw seafood.
Mango Float with Basil Panna Cotta
While you may expect this dessert to be sweet, it surprisingly offers a different, interesting flavor. The taste may seem confusing at first, but a second spoonful reveals how the kick of the basil coalesces well with the sweetened cream. This dessert is certainly something new and thrilling to try, especially for those with a sweet tooth.
