I am very excited to help Mandarin Oriental Manila announce that Chef Kenichi Takase, the highly decorated chef de cuisine of 1-star Michelin rated restaurant Sense of the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, is coming to Manila from June 21- 26! Let it be known that it is no walk in the park to have a restaurant awarded a star by Michelin, let alone have it be awarded consecutively. And Sense has been decorated with this very prestigious award for three consecutive years!!
Sense is really exceptional (and I’ve already heard a lot about this restaurant when I went to Tokyo– my Japanese friends had recommended it and I actually found it odd that they did since Sense served Cantonese food, not Japanese). Now I know why– because from what they have mentioned, Sense was really quite a revelation in classic- contemporary Cantonese cuisine. I am so over the moon that I will be having this exceptional gastronomic experience by Chef Kenichi Takase in Manila (no need to fly all the way to Tokyo *I am afraid of earthquakes, by the way haha*)

With this in mind, I urge all food lovers out here in Manila to make a reservation already, because opportunities like this one come few and far between.
The 7-course set lunch menu is just Php 1,880 ++ per person; 7- course set dinner menu is Php 2,380 ++ per person. Seriously, a meal prepared by a Michelin- star decorated restaurant chef? This is an unbelievably good deal!!!
