Two Michelin-star chef Mauro Colagreco at City of Dreams Manila
MANILA, Philippines – City of Dreams Manila brings to town chef Mauro Colagreco, the celebrated chef of the two Michelin-star Mirazur, which is ranked 11th in San Pellegrino “World’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2015.” In a limited engagement at The Tasting Room, chef Mauro presides at a “Four Hands Dinner” from Nov. 11 to 16 with chef William Mahi, the chef de cuisine of the integrated resort’s modern European restaurant. Held with the support of Qatar Airways, the gastronomic occasion showcases the cuisine of Mirazur at Menton on the French Riviera.
A six-course dinner menu highlighting collaborative dishes created by the two Michelin-star chefs — William himself having been the chef de cuisine of the Spondi in Athens when it earned its two Michelin stars — includes Argentinian chef Mauro’s Italian-influenced creations: Corn Textura with egg, farofa (toasted cassava), chips, polenta, truffle and cancha (corn nuts); Pagre (red porgy or common seabream) prepared with garlic, béarnaise, reglisse, cuttlefish ink and leeks; Milk-fed Veal Filet with artichoke, bagna cauda and rosemary; and Naranjo En Flor, served with mousseline, saffron, milk, almonds, espuma, sorbet, and orange. William punctuates these dishes with his signature creations: Wild Salmon Trout with oyster leaves, sea urchin, foam, and mussels; and Lollipop with chocolate ganache, taraniva, passion fruit and lemon.
Frank Salati, executive chef of Unico by Mauro Colagreco restaurant in Shanghai, also flies in for the event. The Four Hands Dinner will be exclusive to a limited 50 guests per night at P6,999+ per person or P8,888+ per person with wine pairing.
