IT'S Friday flyday this Nov. 18 as “the fat kid inside,” Erwan Heussaff, shakes things up at The Pig & Palm. As the man behind several top restaurants and bars in Manila including the trendy Niner Ichi Nana, Erwan will be joined by artisanal mixologists, Julien Agosta of Giffard Syrups and Liqueurs, and David Ong of The Curator Coffee and Cocktails. The boys will be behind the bar from 7 p.m. to 12 midnight, concocting unique cocktails to be paired with The Pig & Palm’s current dishes and specials for the night.
The Pig & Palm has been making its mark with its inventive dishes in an Izakaya and tapas-style of dining and its creative cocktails put together by award-winning group bar executive for The Social Company, Jamie Jones. The dining and drinking destination steps it up with drink specials made just for the evening. The Breakfast of Champions, a tonic of Milo-infused dark rum, lemon, chili syrup and egg white was concocted to pair with The Pig and Palm’s roasted suckling pig or the mini beef and foie burgers in mind while the Backyard Breeze is a lighter cocktail of tarragon-infused vodka, sweet vermouth, Campari, soda water, guyabano syrup and bar keep Lavender Bitters, which will pair beautifully with the miso-grilled carrots as well as the seafood rice. For a more citrus beverage, the Galleon Punch made with pineapple-infused Cachaca Thoquino, spiced rum, lime juice, lemon juice and raspberry syrup will cut right through The Pig and Palm’s top-selling chicken karaage as well as the parrot fish, a new addition to its constantly evolving menu.
The Pig & Palm is located at the MSY Tower in Cebu Business Park. Reservations are recommended. (PR)
