Recently, we were treated to a special lunch at Chalet Restaurant to “introduce a fresh menu of delicious and mouth-watering Filipino dishes”. When we arrived, the place was already buzzing with other guests - various groups of Lifestyle writers and bloggers, PR people, etc.
On hand to welcome us was Miguel Nacionales, Events and Marketing coordinator of L'Fisher Hotel, who promptly showed us to our seats, while the ever-attentive waiters handed us the menu. We were informed that they are offering 50 percent off on all food items during lunch, from June 12-30. How perfect for Father's Day so the entire family could treat their dads to a sumptuous noontime meal. They also offer the same discount for their Saturday dinner buffet for the month of June.
Everyone enjoyed the specially-prepared Filipino dishes featuring succulent seafood and tender beef, pork and chicken cooked to your heart's desire. The guests had a fun time sharing their orders with their table mates so no one would miss out on tasting the super-delicious dishes. It was such a pleasant experience savoring our favorite Filipino food with such a convivial group, whose laughter and chit-chat could be heard across the room.
No wonder our Filipino food now rates the world's second best food, second only to Taiwan. This is according to a CNN survey which was released recently. Now I know why I have always preferred Filipino dishes all this time. World-class pala!*
