Local flavors, world-class brews. San Miguel Brewery Inc. (SMB) puts a premium on delivering delight through its lineup of “brewed to taste” beer. The experience is elevated even more when enjoyed in a culinary setting, combining dishes and drinks that complement each other in terms of flavor and feel.
Filipino restaurant George & Onnie’s is known for setting such stages, curated dining experiences through a menu of soulful comfort food rooted from well-loved local dishes. San Miguel Premium Beers takes those comforting experiences and raises the bar as it collaborates with George & Onnie’s to create a five-course tasting menu best paired with San Miguel Super Dry, San Miguel Premium All-Malt, San Miguel Cerveza Negra, and San Miguel Cerveza Blanca.
The set starts with Kilawin, fresh hamachi marinated in calamansi, vinegar, chilies, ginger, and onions. This dish excites the palate with its tangy flavor and spicy notes, perfect way to start of a hearty meal. With San Miguel Premium All-Malt, a full-flavored lager brewed from 100% pure malt, complements Kilawin well. Alan Sienes – Brewmaster, San Miguel Brewery Inc. (SMB) shared that San Miguel Premium Beer and the paired dishes brings magic to taste buds, perfectly complimenting the flavor of these Filipino dishes with a twist.
Next is Pork Three-Ways. This unctuous set features Grilled Chicharon Bulaklak, Crispy Bagnet, and Sisig in Squash Blossoms. Having these three dishes together in one plate instantly engages the appetite. Having a bottle of San Miguel Super Dry to wash it down with is best because of it clean and crisp mouthfeel and hoppy aroma.
A serving of Pasta Aligue comes after, offering a filling dish that features the rich flavors of crab fat on homemade noodles, topped with succulent prawns. The pasta dish goes well with the refreshing and citrusy flavor of San Miguel Cerveza Blanca.
Topping off the set of savory dishes is a hearty Bone Marrow Pares. This take on a well-loved braised beef dish features a stew of melt-in-your-mouth cheek and tendon served with roasted bone marrow and topped with fried garlic and chopped leeks, best paired with San Miguel Super Dry.
Capping off the five-course menu is dessert, namely Young Coconut Pie. The soft and warm coconut filling encased in golden brown crust is a classic Filipino treat made even more decadent with a pandan anglaise sauce. The bold flavors of San Miguel Cerveza Negra offering hints of caramel, coffee, and chocolate is a perfect pairing for this equally sweet ending.
This special Five-course Filipino Tasting Menu and San Miguel Premium Beers Pairing from George & Onnie’s Ayala Triangle Gardens has given foodies and tippler something to rave about.
