Andre Chiang of Restaurant ANDRE will be cooking in Manila

(SPOT.ph) As Filipino food breaks through the global scene, Metro Manila foodies are, in turn, given more and more opportunities to experience top-level cuisine from around the world. Internationally renowned, award-winning chefs like Alvin Leung, Nobu Matsuhisa, Akrame Benallal, and more have already impressed their culinary styles upon Pinoys, and the latest to watch for is Chef Andre Chiang. 

Taiwan-born, French-trained chef Andre Chiang owns five restaurants in Taiwan, Singapore, and France. His Restaurant ANDRE in Singapore currently ranks No. 3 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants. He is famous for having an "Octaphilosophy" in his dishes.

According to the write-up on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list: "To dine at Restaurant André is to embark on an exploratory journey around the mind and memory of chef and co-owner André Chiang. Each of the eight exquisite courses, paired primarily with biodynamic French artisanal wines, reflects aspects of his multi-faceted culinary experience."

Chef Andre will be cooking with Gallery VASK's Chef Chele Gonzalez for an exclusive three-part degustacion on May 22 (dinner) and May 23 (lunch and dinner). Gallery Vask, by the way, is the Philippines' lone entry in Asia's 50 Best list. 

Tickets are priced at P11,000 per head and it will also serve as the Philippine launch of Chef Andre's new book, Octaphilosphy. 

Gallery VASK is at 5/F Clipp Center, 11th Avenue corner 39th Street, Bonifacio Global City. For reservations, contact Gallery VASK at 0917-546-1673.
