Chef Jereme Leung makes his annual visit to his eponymous restaurant at Conrad Manila, China Blue by Jereme Leung, with yet another memorable curated set menu that highlights premium and sustainably-sourced ingredients.
Happening until August 28, Leung offers 'The Emperor's Table,' an indulgent five-course menu.
The culinary experience starts with marinated crabmeat with avocado and crispy puff roll, and marinated sweet plum drunken king prawn. A double-boiled sturgeon tendon and dry sea conch with morel mushroom kung fu soup follows.
For the main course selections, delight in wasabi beef wagyu pistachio, green bamboo shoot; pan-fried black cod with torch ginger flower gravy sauce and pomelo.
Another set menu highlight is braised Yin Yang rice (orza rice, Tibet rock grain) with dry scallop and dry fish maw, oyster ginger taste.
Ending the menu on a sweet note is the chocolate egg coconut mousse with mango puree.
'My objective has always been to present a menu that is not so out of reach for most of the people. Food in itself is not about being the most expensive or rarest. Whenever I pick ingredients, I always have to think what can be interesting for the local market. Because for me, good food is about what rouses people's interest,' Leung proudly noted.
Not only will patrons be delighted by a truly memorable dining experience, but they will also have the chance to meet chef Leung and gain insight into his culinary inspirations.
Fabio Berto, Conrad Manila's General Manager, shared, 'As his home in the Philippines, we are always thrilled to welcome Chef Jereme Leung and his culinary genius back to Conrad Manila. Year after year, he always brings something new and unique to the table, and 2024 is surely not an exception. I invite all our patrons to join us and discover chef Leung's new gastronomic repertoire at the Legendary Chefs Series – The Emperor's Table.'
