What went down at Off Menu Philippines 2023

Tatler Dining proudly presented the second rendition of our innovative food festival last 29-30 September, featuring 14 of the country's top chefs and 7 exclusive Off Menu dishes you won't find anywhere else. From an indulgent terrine to a duck confit donburi, a kilawin that married Japanese and Bicolano flavours to a Mexican inspired masa boat with braised lengua, read up on the exciting festival, below.
