Perigord truffles at Makati Shangri-La

MANILA, Philippines - Indulge in the finest dishes infused with shavings of Perigord truffle at Makati Shangri-La’s Red restaurant until tomorrow. 

Black truffle is the most desirable of nearly 70 known varieties. It has an unappealing appearance — irregularly shaped with thick, coarse, wrinkled skin that varies from almost black to off-white. 

It is considered one of the rarest and finest edible fungi found near the roots of oak trees. The deliberate and intensive labor harvesting makes it extremely expensive, but still holds its place on top of the culinary world for its unique flavor and enthralling aroma.

Chef de cuisine Thomas Linke prepares a delectable menu to sample the scrumptious diversity of the black truffle. Gratify your craving with sweet wine marinated veal tenderloin, tartar of home-cured wild salmon with cucumber and pine nuts, Black Perigord truffle cappuccino, truffle-crusted sea bass fillet or with black truffle ice cream.
