Saturday, November 14, 2015
6:00pm to 9:00pm

Dr. Fernando Zialcita (a doctor of anthropology at the Ateneo de Manila University) was the special guest lecturer for this end-of-year banquet, and he spoke about the many concepts of our Filipino food identity, including a presentation about why our culinary heritage is invisible, even to us.

The dinner--which was intended as an interpretation of the lecture--was curated by Chef Jessie Sinsioco, and her Degustation Menu is shown below.

Chef Jessie's revolving restaurant is at the top floor of the 100 Building in Eastwood, Quezon City. While the participants dined and listened to the lecture, they enjoyed a moving panoramic 360-degree view of the cityscapes of Makati, Taguig, Antipolo, Marikina, and Manila.
