Figaro’s A La Carte Meals by Chef Karl Marxist Tan

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

You might get surprised after knowing that a Coffee company is offering now A La Carte meals in the Philippines. And yes indeed, Figaro now is offering to its loyal consumers

It’s good to know that Figaro is widening its variety of products offered among its loyal consumers. What would you ask for, if a certain coffee shop also offered a complete set of pasta and delightful breakfast meal in A la Carte.

Last week, I was invited by a good friend and got the chance to visit the Figaro Shangri- La Plaza branch just to get a free taste of their newest A la carte menu by Chef Karl Marxist Tan. It’s very convenient for me this time that I can have my favourite hot or iced coffee having my breakfast, lunch or dinner with the newest a la carte meals.

The long wait is over and Figaro finally launched four new exciting and delightful meals at your choice. These include:

Dory Provencal – Php199.00

Pan fried dory fish fillet infused in zesty provencal sauce.

Last New Year I featured, Callos on this blog and how we made it, our own family recipe I presume. And since Holy Week has just dawned upon us here in the Philippines, we have a tradition of having a HUGE SEAFOOD spread on Good Friday. But over the years it has been watered down to 2 basic dishes: Bacalao and Fresh Oysters in onions, ginger, all soaked in vinegar and left to “cook” for awhile. We call it Kilawin.
