Comfort Filipino celebration

At Hilton Manila, Newport World Resorts, Executive Chef Lord Carlo Bayaban presents an exquisite Valentine’s Day dinner on Feb. 14, inspired by The Art of Filipino Courtship.

Each course alludes to a chapter in their courtship, beginning with Ensaladang Lato, followed by Laing Rolls, and Bulalo as the soup course. The experience continues with a surf-and-turf main course featuring Kare-Kare Royale, and concludes with Sylvanas de Maria Clara for dessert—bringing the evening to a thoughtful and romantic close.
