The Philippines is renowned for its incredible buffets, but today, I decided to step away from the buffet scene and indulge in something different—a signature tasting menu at Kasa Palma, which might just be the best restaurant in Manila.

I’ve experienced my fair share of tasting menus, primarily in Las Vegas. From the upscale delights at Bazaar Meat at the Sahara to the creative and bold dishes at Sparrow and Wolf in the Las Vegas Chinatown, tasting menus have always been a fantastic way to sample a restaurant’s offerings without feeling overwhelmingly full. But how does a tasting menu from the Philippines compare?

I’m thrilled to say it exceeded my expectations. Kasa Palma offers a unique blend of traditional Filipino flavors, international techniques, and playful culinary creativity under the expertise of Chef Aaron, a Michelin-trained chef with experience in France. His mastery is evident in every dish, combining local comfort foods with innovative global twists.

Highlights?
• Lobster Lechon: A whole lobster with the tail de-shelled, wrapped in sticky rice, and stuffed into a pork lechon belly.
• Caviar and Ube: A surprising combination that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
• Mantis Shrimp Pasta: Perfectly executed and bursting with flavor.

With over 10 courses in their signature tasting menu, each dish was a masterpiece of taste, texture, and presentation. This culinary journey was not just indulgent but one of the most unforgettable dining experiences I’ve had, rivaling even the best restaurants worldwide.

If you’re in Manila and looking to experience Filipino cuisine with a Michelin-star twist, Kasa Palma is an absolute must-visit.
