We all know noodles are huge in this part of the globe. So Hyatt’s decision to have is Café highlight noodle specialties in its 6-station buffet will make any diner feel like he’s on a culinary tour around the region.
Chef Fred Chen of Hyatt Regency Guiyang in China even flew in for this weeklong noodle fest, to make sure them noodles are as fresh and authentic as can be.
Noodle dishes from Southeast Asia like laksa from Singapore and Malaysia, pho from Vietnam, pad thai from Thailand, char kway teow from Malaysia and Indonesia, canton from the Philippines, as well as ramen and soba from Japan and wonton noodle soups from China, are included in the popular 6-station buffet, which starts PHP1,288.
“We’re going more for authenticity, so this for example, is something you’d get on the streets of Bangkok” Executive chef Michael Luedtke explains, as a plate of pad thai is placed on the table. While the dish may look plain and unassuming, it is tasty and delicious, with taramind lifting the flavor profile of the dish.
The spicy, hearty laksa is something you’d definitely want post-gimmick, in the wee hours of the morning, which is great because The Café is open 24 hours a day.
Asian Noodle Delights is available until March 29 at The Café, Hyatt City of Dreams (G/F, Hyatt Hotel, City of Dreams Manila, Roxas Boulevard, Parañaque. +63 2 6911234 ext 1149). It is included in the buffet with starting price of PHP1,288.
