Up the Ante this Season with Guevarra’s Yuletide Menu

Whenever we are cravings for sumptuous Filipino dishes, Guevarra’s is always on top of our mind. It’s palatable and wide selection of dishes (plus affordable price!) always make us happy eaters! That’s why, when we also had relatives that comes home, we’re rooting for Guevarra’s as it serves comfort Pinoy foods that our love ones long for. And since Christmas is coming very soon, reunions and eating out is a frequent occasion that most of us, Filipinos, love doing.

Meanwhile, we are also known to show the unparalleled hospitality to our guests, from giving them the finest accommodations to serving them the best food and giving them just about anything in order to make them feel comfortable with their visit. As I mentioned a while ago, one surefire bet in getting that a rate in your cordiality is to have them experience both Filipino heritage and exemplary culinary journey with Guevarra’s. Its grandiose structure is rich in heritage splendor and reminiscent of a house built in the 1920’s.  The picturesque garden surrounded with rich greeneries have so far been the foreground of several weddings, with each one of them forever etched together in history. A wide staircase that leads to the veranda gives you the feel of aristocratic elegance of the forgone era. As you enter the dining area, get ready to be enthralled with art-deco pieces transforming your senses to a magnificent old-world charm.

Sevenplates Inc. partners, Warren Sy, Patrick King, Felix Yu, Timothy Go, Victor Go, Raymond Co and Jeffrey Siy together with Chefs Roland and Jackie Laudico ensures us that Guevarra’s will continue its undertaking to provide its guest with a gastronomic buffet that boasts of great flavor and freshness more than its numbers. From the most raved Roast Angus Beef Belly (my favorite!) to Bagnet in the carving station to the rich Kare-Kare and bountiful Shrimp dishes; down to the sweet tooth cravings of the crowd favorite Brigaderos and Frozen Brazo that never fails to get you going back for more. And now, I am already craving for those flavorful dishes.

Fusion precision with Embotido Lasagna Roll– Classic Filipino meat loaf covered with Lasagna sheet and baked to perfection.

A western favorite that proved to be as sought after here in the country, Roast Turkey with cornmeal stuffing paired with two kinds of sauces - Cranberry and Gravy. Bask in the marriage of flavor and color of the Fish Mayonesa - Baked whole fish with Tartar dressing topped diced red and green bell pepper, carrots and egg.

In the spirit of the season, let’s give back to the community.
