he Mediterranean
is so vast that it is divided into three regions – North Africa,
particularly Morocco, Eastern Mediterranean which includes
Greece, Turkey and Israel and Southern Europe encompassing
Spain, France and Italy.
Mediterranean cuisine is composed of wide regional variations
brought about by its rich history and geographical location.
Simple cooking techniques such as baking, boiling, roasting and
grilling and the simplest ingredients with specially blended
spices make the food both appetizing and healthy.
Witness as Fab restaurant at Holiday Inn Galleria Manila
transforms from an all day a la carte service restaurant
offering international and local menu options to an extensive
buffet of the flavors of the Mediterranean.
Diners can have their fill of flavorful dishes from each
region. Variations of risottos such as seafood, chorizo and
lemon will be presented at the buffet at different days of the
week. Sicilian sautéed chicken and osso bucco with tomato and
oregano from Italy; paella valenciana, paella celicantina,
callos alla madrilène, andalusian fried fish fillet and catalan
lamb from Spain; and shrimps with feta cheese, garlic lemon
chicken and fish spetsiota from Greece are just some of the
regional dishes that will be highlights of the feast.
A carving station will showcase the meat dishes from the
Mediterranean. Beef roulade with spiced apples and pears, and
juicy slices from leg of lamb with mustard, rosemary and dry
chili will be served on specific days.
The Mediterranean region is also known for its abundance in
seafood so diners can expect an array of seafood choices from
fish to shellfish either served fresh accompanied by different
condiments and sauces, in salads, paella, risotto, pasta or
stuffed with ingredients from this region by the sea.
Heavenly desserts are also offered. Who can resist Greek
Baklava, Italian panna cota, and zabaliogne, Spanish flans, and
other equally tempting desserts lined up in one sweet station.
Visit Fab restaurant at the fourth floor of Holiday Inn
Galleria Manila and enjoy. The buffet offering is available
until November 30.
