The country's largest homegrown hospitality management chain, Megaworld Hotels and Resorts (MHR), heats up its kitchens and gives the Sampaguita, Philippines' national flower, a date with the tastebuds.

'There's more to the local jasminum sambac, a variety of sampaguita that grows in the Philippines. Our goal is to get the conversation going and educate guests about its iconic aroma that adds a new layer of flavor to one's local dining experience,' shared Socrates Alvaro, cluster general manager of food and beverage for MHR.
