"Tasting Australia"

Theme "Tasting Australia"
Venue The Manila Peninsula
Date Jan 31, 2013
Chef Greg Doyle

It has always been the Board's intention to expand its repertoire of dining experiences of our members to other fine cuisines - an Australian wine and food dinner being one of them.  Tasting Australia, a yearly Australian wine and food festival organized in cooperation with the Australian Embassy to coincide with the celebration of Australia Day (January 26), could not have come at a more opportune time. 

This year, the Peninsula has brought in Greg Doyle of Sydney’s The Sailors Club - one of Australia’s most talented chefs – who was awarded the plum prize of "Restaurateur of the Year" and who won the prestigious Three-Hat award by The Sydney Morning Herald "Good Food Guide".  Joining him is his talented Executive Chef Steven Skelly and Executive Pastry Chef Nic Waring. 

There are 2 menus:  An ala-carte menu with a two-tier pricing - P2,900++ for food only and P4,600++ for food with wine pairing; and a Degustation menu which Chef Samuel Linder recommended for us at a price of P2,950++.  We can bring our own Australian wines corkage-free.
