(SPOT.ph) Food as thought of today goes beyond being a necessity. We also eat to appreciate the culture, history, and artistry behind certain dishes—not to mention for pure enjoyment's sake. So, too, has food come to be elevated to luxury status in some contexts—like fine-dining spots that whip up food generally  pricier than your average neighborhood joint, but that promise a sublime experience that engages all of the senses. The World Luxury Restaurant Awards is one figure that aims to shine the spotlight on the best luxury restaurants the world over; and for their upcoming 2022 run they've included a number of restaurants in the Philippines, including Spiral, Samira by Chele Gonzalez, and Xin Tian Di, as part of their nominees.
