Gourmets, foodies, food critics and friends from media partied together in celebration of excellent food on the occasion of the first anniversary of Dusit Thani Manila’s The Pantry.
When it opened a year ago, The Pantry immediately attracted the attention of gourmets, foodies and critics alike. As the latest addition to Dusit Thani Manila’s acclaimed roster of fine dining addresses, The Pantry presented the “farm-to-fork” dining concept, a revolutionary system that brings grown organically farm produce from the source to the table. The Pantry’s distinctive concept allows the extensive use of locally-grown produce, ensuring diners of the high quality of food, the freshness of ingredients, and the authenticity of flavors.
Dessert aficionados can have their fill at the Churros and Ice Cream station. Naturally, there’s thick chocolate to dunk the freshly fried churros in, and homemade artisanal ice cream flavors to cap the feast and cool the taste buds.
To toast The Pantry’s success innovating on Manila’s dining experience, Dusit Thani Manila hosted a party to lovers of excellent food and great dining experiences.
Guests and customers filled every cozy space as they enjoyed the restaurant’s different food stations. The Pantry has eight stations, which serve an impressive selection of Filipino, Italian, Indian and Pan-Asian cuisines masterfully prepared by specialty chefs. Foodies trooped to the Lechon Pit where suckling pigs are slowly roasted and brought to the carving station piping hot and crispy skin intact.
The “Queen of Bossa Nova” Sitti Navarro, serenaded the guests with her cool voice as she sang well-loved bossa nova tunes. As a fitting giveaway and for measure of good luck, The Pantry presented guests with five different kinds of salt to express thanks for a year of superb flavors and a memorable experience in dining.
For the Yuletide Season, The Pantry puts on a festive spirit guaranteed to liven up Christmas celebrations and warm the heart. It will make “lechon-to-go” available to guests who want to enjoy the superb quality and flavor of this restaurant specialty for their Christmas parties at home or in the office. Over at The Pantry’s Grab & Go section, a host of traditional Yuletide treats and sweet delectable will be made available to be enjoyed at home, or given as the perfect Christmas gifts.
