Ippudo Introduces the All New Torched Chashu 

The world-famous ramen experience got an upgrade 

Ippudo pays homage to traditional Japanese ramen by constantly reinventing their menu driven by tradition, passion for craft and innovation. The all new torched chashu is slow-cooked and marinated for 34 hours until fork-tender—steeped in broth processed for 15 hours—for melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Their signature bowls include the Shiromaru Special, Akamaru Special and Karaka Special, which feature Ippudo's classic pork-bone broth. Their Shiromaru Special is now topped with thick-cut slow-cooked pork belly, while the Akamaru Special and Karaka Special are topped with their torched chashu.

Be one of the first people to try the all new torched chashu by visiting Ippudo SM Megamall, Uptown Mall, SM Mall of Asia, Greenbelt 5, Robinsons Place Manila, Ayala Malls the 30th and Powerplant Mall.

The Way You Want It With George Town Super Steak 

Steak exactly how you want it…because you cook it (for the most part)

Purists will tell you there is a certain way to cook—and even eat—steak, but we’re all about enjoying food the way you want to enjoy food. Fortunately, so is George Town Super Steak.

While cooked the way you order it with the restaurant’s Mibrasa oven, which uses charcoal to simultaneously grill and smoke the meat, you get a little hot plate to make sure your bite is cooked exactly the way you want it. So what if your friends prefer it a little bloody and you prefer a little more brown around your steak? Everyone ends up happy.

But while it’s right there in the name, George Town Super Steak does more than just steak. They definitely have their handle on seafood, pasta and—everyone’s favorite—alcoholic drinks. Spending happy hour overlooking BGC, sipping on wine and munching on some steak sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? #TreatYoSelf

George Town Super Steak is now open at 3/F One Bonifacio High Street.

BGC's Five Star Night 

With Fireside, Jin Joo and Mimi & Bros.

In partnership with the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF), Chef Edward Bugia (Mimi & Bros), Chef Gigi Canlas (Fireside) and Chef JM Libron (Jin Joo) showcased their unique takes on U.S. beef and pork in their existing menus for a special Five Star Night. 25 Seeds and Café Fleur owner Chef Sau del Rosario was the ambassador of the night.

Deep breaths; the holiday weight gain is approaching (embrace it!).
