With rice being a staple in every
Filipino’s dining table, Food and Beverage Director of Discovery Group, Chef
Anthony Raymond, decided to use heirloom rice as an additional feature to the
exquisite selection of dishes at Discovery Suites Ortigas’ flagship restaurant and steakhouse, 22 Prime.
This
sustainability effort aims to spur vital support for the Heirloom Rice Project
in the Cordillera region which was initiated by Food Staples Sufficiency
Program (FSSP) of the Philippine Department of Agriculture, in collaboration
with International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). The Heirloom Rice program
aims to give paramount attention to farmers and their traditional rice
varieties to ensure that the legacy of heirloom rice will live on.
Grilled Mixed Seafood
22
Prime at present uses a traditional rice variety grown in Ifugao known as
Tinawon rice. Unlike the processed white rice prevalent in the market, heirloom
rice varieties are proven to be healthier. Some must-try rice dishes are Norwegian
Cut Salmon served with cilantro heirloom rice and fresh basil pesto, Grilled
Mixed Seafood with heirloom rice pilaf and corn on the cob, Miso-Glazed Black
Cod paired with cilantro-infused red mountain rice, and Duo of Beef which is a
combination of braised USDA short ribs and grilled wagyu hanger steak with
heirloom rice pilaf.
