New flavors at The Promenade
Crispy Fish Cakes with
Green Mango Salad.
Sit down, relax, get served and enjoy your dinner.
The Promenade, well-known for its sumptuous daily lunch buffets, Japanese and Spanish regular buffets, themed Saturday buffets and family feast every Sunday, had been aggressively promoting its sit-down lunch or dinner through its regular set menu that changes every 15 days. Since it started last May, the response had been very good.
You're not just pampered like royalty, but your taste buds are also in for a treat. There's a brand new food that's being dished out at the restaurant. Chef Tim Freeman, an American chef who has a vast culinary experience in the country and abroad, has been serving the diners of The Promenade with his modern Asian cuisine.

For June 1 to 15, 2009, The Promenade's set menu consists of Tom Ka Gai, Crispy Fish Cakes with Green Mango Salad, Wok Fried Vietnamese Beef with Coriander and Ginger Crème Brulee. All these for only P475.
Tom Ka Gai is Thai coconut soup with chili and kaffir lime. In the traditional way, Thai soup is served hot. But Chef Tim decided that this thick and creamy interplay of sour and spice should be served cold. Great idea, especially when it's been really hot lately. The aromatic astringent flavor of kaffir lime is very evident.
The appetizer, Crispy Fish Cakes with Green Mango Salad, consists of minced fish with Thai chiles, fish sauce, spring onions, ginger and spices. It is fried and served with a salad of green mango, vinegar, sugar and basil. The fish patty was carefully fried, thus it has retained its moistness inside. Impressive.
Tom Ka Gai.
The entree, Wok Fried Vietnamese Beef with Coriander and Fresh Mint consists of fresh beef stir fried with Asian vegetables and spices with peanut sauce. Each bite of the flavorful beef is a delight because of some pieces of crispy rice that go along with the meat.
The dessert, Ginger Crème Brulee is better than your regular crème brulee. Trust Chef Tim to come up with the idea of putting a spice like ginger on a dessert that's supposed to be sweet. The fragrance of ginger and its spice-sweet taste gave the crème brulee a kick. Thus, you'll just keep asking for more of this dessert. Along with this is chocolate syrup inside a shooter glass and a serving of panna cotta.
Give yourself and your loved one a treat with The Promenade's set menu. Don't be scared of the P475 price tag. Believe me, it's worth it.
The Promenade continues to offers its daily lunch buffet, famous Japanese “Meshi” every Wednesday and Spanish “Las Paellas” every Friday dinner, Saturday dinner buffet and Sunday lunch buffet.
