A trip to the Asian Market
With the ambiance of an exotic spice market, The Peninsula Manila’s Spices restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy fresh and authentic Southeast Asian cuisine in a beautiful setting. Sip a delicious cocktail at the alfresco tables of Spices Garden or the glass-walled pavilion while admiring the outdoor pool or savoring signature dishes like Yam Pla Duk Fu (Crispy catfish salad), Tom Kha Gai (Coconut-poached chicken soup with lemongrass, kaffir lime, and galangal), Asam Goreng (Beef short ribs with tamarind sauce), and Spices’ classic Nali Rogan Josh (Aromatic lamb shank). Vegans can also enjoy the delicious “Naturally Peninsula” plant-based selections in the cool and inviting interiors, decorated in natural materials such as bamboo, rattan, and coconut.
Spices is open Wednesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner. Email [email protected] or visit www.peninsula.com for more information.
Happy dining this weekend!
