One would not normally think of Filipino food and Southern American cuisine as being compatible, but at Sobremesa, head chef and part owner Benjo Tuason has created the perfect pairing of the two cultures. Housed in Sapphire Bloc, Ortigas District, Sobremesa offers fusion-inspired dishes whole-heatedly created for their diners. Celebrity siblings Daniel Matsunaga and Vanessa Masunaga are also trying their luck in the food industry business joining the group of owners on this new venture.

Sobremesa, which in Spanish refers to the time after lunch or dinner spent talking to the people you shared the meal with, delivers its promise of delicious conversations as it offers a wide range of meals that will suit even the most discerning palate.

Sobremesa is a business venture by The Menu Group (TMG) established in 2015 by a group of passionate young restaurateurs dedicated on featuring exciting cuisines which cater to diverse variety of food fanatics. TMG also owns new restaurants situated in prime spots of Ortigas and Mandaluyong: Sangkap by Chef Raymar Reyes at Portico Alveo, Sasa Asian Cuisine at Estancia Mall in Capitol Commons and Splice Events Place & Restaurant at The Portal in Greenfield District.

A must try and the latest addition to the menu is the Cuban Pork Chop with garlic mashed potato and caramelized onion. For those looking to add a little culinary adventure to their plate that is surely a winner, try for appetizer, the Cured Meats Selection which includes Chorizo Pamplona, Salchicon, Vela de Lomo, and Chorizo de Bilbao. Sobremesa is now offering a hot Unli-Steak promo (PHP 750) of the mouth-watering Australian Rib-Eye steak which diners can really savor with its traditional salt and pepper style taste which available only until supplies last.

Chef Benjo also gives a new dessert option with Lecheroon, a fusion of the all time favorites leche flan and macaroon. It's all a reflection of the Filipino-Southern American interest in marrying tastes for the ultimate sensation.

Group bundles for 4 pax (PHP 1,600) and 8 pax (PHP 2,800) featuring Sobremesa's best-selling dishes. The novel "No Phone Challenge" where diners are asked to lock their phones in a cage until the end of the meal in exchange for a free dessert, giving them more reason to visit and stay.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I am curious. I travel. I am soul searching. Curious Tootling Soul, 3 words referring to me. In our everyday lives, we wander, and we ask questions. Yes, and sometimes it is hard to explain to someone who doesn’t quite see the world how you do— the way you do. Life to many can just be sectionalized and put into little boxes. A box for your true self; a box for your sociable self; a box for your fancies: your wants, your desires. Looking at your bucket list—list, highlight, and check. For some though life isn’t quite so simple. Some of us don’t know exactly what we want to do next or where we want to go, we just know there is so much out there we want to experience. We visit and travel new places often without knowing exactly what for, just that we know in our soul we need to. Mundane, humdrum existence and material things don’t impress us. We are in search for answers, for fulfillment and gratification. We need to be surrounded by love and warmth, growth and good. We know there is nothing better than a genuine laugh or a heartfelt hug. We are moved by the storytellers, the dreamers, the drifters, the people whose lives are different than ours, that we can learn from. We are drawn to new surroundings and unique experiences. As we fall in love with so many things around us, sometimes it is hard to keep track. We love and we continuously holding on for that love. We love different. We love doing things that terrify us because we know those are the moments that we grow. We love looking back and seeing that we have accomplished what we never thought we could, things we never thought were even a possibility. Because it is in those moments we know we are becoming the people we were always intended to be. We leap before we look sometimes. It is finding ourselves when we didn’t know we were lost and continuing to find ourselves over and over again. It is kissing a cute stranger under the stars, waving at a baby we pass on the street, helping someone who cannot repay us. It is jotting down a funny memory or a beautiful quote we can’t forget. It is finding out what makes us smile the biggest, what our passions are, what makes our eyes light up just by talking about it. (an excerpt from A. Twigg, 2015) I fall, but I keep on rising. My faith has been tested, but it always remains. I have grandiose plans and an endless list of options; the places that I want to explore and journeys that I want to take. I don’t always know how I will accomplish something, I just know some ways and the courage of somehow—I will. Life for me is a puzzle of creating moments. It is finding my next adventure. It is setting my feet on new sands, diving into new seas. It is laughing with a group of strangers, singing words to songs that I don’t know matters. It is knowing that there is a whole wide world out there just waiting for me to discover it. It is the feeling that there is no better time than right now to do what we have always wanted to do, so why not go? Do it.
