CELEBRATE FATHER'S DAY at DADS

Mediterraneo Ultimo: Way to a Happy, Healthy Dads Day
A region so vast, the Mediterranean encompasses Morocco, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Spain, France and Italy thus melding a cuisine of unsurpassed textures and flavors. Interestingly, albeit not surprisingly, its claim to fame rests on its reputation as one of the world’s healthiest. Epidemiological studies show that Mediterraneans suffer less heart disease than people from northern Europe. Nutritionists attest that the typical Mediterranean diet reduces fat and increases the level of natural antioxidants such as Vitamin C and E, significant risk reducers of heart attacks.
This Father’s Day, the healthiest way to Dad’s heart is through his stomach if you treat him to the nutritious array of DADS Mediterranean buffet festival, an abundance of foods from plant sources, beans and grains, cooked with olive oil, the cuisine’s prime ingredient and whose health effects benefit the heart, kidney, gall bladder and the digestive system.
Rich and exquisite, the various festival dishes showcase the vibrant culinary regions that surround the Mediterranean sea from appetizers to desserts: Ottoman mussels, oven baked cheese mussels, chicken gyro wrap, chicken wrapped in soft tortilla served with four kinds of sauces, porchetta balsamico, grilled pork belly in basil, garlic and olive oil, souvlaki chicken, charbroiled skewered boneless chicken thighs, poseidon seafood bundles, poached asparagus bundle wrapped in fish fillet, souvlaki vegetables, charbroiled skewered mixed vegetables, moussaka, eggplant lasagna, horiatiki salad, Greek salad, Mediterranean cake, chocolate sponge cake with butter cream filling, Medea’s Mud Pie, delectably moist brownie topped with chocofudge and whipped cream, plus the all time favorite DADS classics, roast beef, turkey, ham, paella, callos, lengua, pastas, salads, and more.

SAISAKI "LOVE SEAFOOD" BUFFET

At the very heart of Japanese cuisine, lies the beautiful and bountiful fruits of the island nation’s seas. The Japanese consumes 66 kg of seafood annually, four time more than the world average consumption. To the Japanese, love for seafood is more than just a palate affair. It is embedded in the country’s culture, culinary and everything else. It is enshrined in the altars of the nation’s temples, worshipped as homage to the Shinto gods and goddesses. In Japan’s ancient mythology, Benzai-Ten, the goddess of the arts, love, wisdom and everything that flows was originally a sea diety. Seafood, together with all of the sea’s bounty stand for love, romantic and filial. This relationship sets the tone and taste of Saisaki's buffet festival for February, the world's month of love. Saisaki buffet, incomparable in its variety and Japaneseness, showcases the Seafood of Japan in all its sensous richness and seductive pleasures, truly a feast of love for seafood lovers.

The all-new seafood buffet brings together a myriad of sushi selections and main course attractions, combining contemporary cooking styles with classic Japanese culinaria.

KAMAYAN BUFFET GOES CRAZY OVER COCO !

As the world’s largest coconut exporter to the world, the Philippines boasts of an unsurpassed array of coconut dishes, quite a number of which will be featured in KAMAYAN’S COCO LOCO, the restaurant’s maiden buffet festival for 2009.
Considered as the “tree of life” for its plentiful properties and uses, this wonder fruit which is a truly a seed (the world’s largest), boasts of a history just as distinguished and colorful. The New Guineans believe that the palm tree spontaneously sprung from the head of the first man. Coco, which means “monkey face”, literally resembles one with its roundness and brown husk covering. “Kalpa Vrikaha” is the Sanskrit term for the “tree which gives all that is necessary for living”, also a fertility symbol to women who want to conceive. However, in Bali, women are forbidden to touch the coconut tree lest the fertility of the tree may be drained. In the Nicobar island of the Indian Ocean, whole coconuts were used as currency until the early 20th century.

Not true that the coconut as a cooking ingredient began and rests solely in the culinary hands of the Bicolanos for the Southern Luzon province is only one of the 14 coconut producing regions in the entire country. Fact is, one sees a coconut tree or plantation from Aparri to Jolo. Thus, KAMAYAN, the country’s foremost Filipino restaurant brings together the various popular regional coconut dishes from all over the country.

Truly a mega culinary achievement, a first of its kind Filipino buffet selection. All these in addition to the KAMAYAN all time favorites, namely, Lechon de Leche, Kare Kare, Grilled and Sizzling Choices, Appetizer, Salad and Dessert sections.
Taste the Kapangpangan’s cooking prowess with KILAWING TANIGUE SA MANGGATA (green mango gives extra spike to cocomilk thickened vinegared fish),
BISTIK LUBI LUBI (Southern Tagalo’s classic beef steak enhanced with coco milk),
Bicol’s deliciously boasts of TINUTUNGANG COCOROKOK(chicken coco dish), TINILMOK (shrimp, pork and coco meat wrapped in yam leaves). From the Visayas, comes Aklan’s PINAYUKANG BABOY (pork coco dish), Iloilo’s SINUWAANG BABOY AT BUKO (Binakol style sour soup), Samar’s HINATUKANG TARONG (eggplant coco dish) and KINAYOD NA BUTIG (yam fruit dessert).

Kamayan Buffet is priced at P335, VAT inclusive. Available in all Kamayan branches: SM Megamall (636-3785), Glorietta III (892-8898), EDSA (705-1807), Padre Faura (528-1724) and West Avenue (413-6359).
