How often do you get invited for a special yet very casual lunch with your boss and your company’s partner all to enjoy a hearty meal on a wonderful sunny day?
We are very happy to enjoy a sumptuous lunch with Ms. Annie Lim and recalled some of the earlier days of the hotel and some of her unforgettable projects at Marco Polo Davao. Of course, our chit chat happened over plates of Asian dishes prepared by Chef Patrick Co himself.
What stories we shared together with Ms. Annie are between us but what we ate is something I would like to share to you.
Whats on the table:
Tuna Tartare (Chef’s discretion, not in the menu)
Thai Beef Salad
Angus Beef and Basil Spring Roll
Salmon Ceviche in Cilantro and Lime Broth
Stir Fried Rice Noodles in Tamarind Glaze
Salted Egg Batter Fried Salmon with Garlic Aioli
Crispy Shallot and Scallop Fried Rice
Chicken Sambal
What I call Diabetic Chocolate Ice Cream Cake
My recommended dishes so far:
Thai Beef Salad – very light but tasty; the greens are very fresh. The beef’s flavor compliments well with the light vinaigrette dressing, perfect way to start a hearty lunch.
Salted Egg Batter Fried Salmon with Garlic Aioli – salted egg + salmon? Can you go wrong? Its an ultimate comfort food to eat a flavorful fried anything alll the more its coated with salted egg batter. The aioli was okay but not crazy over it. The salmon was enough flavor to indulge my taste.
Crispy Shallot and Scallop Fried Rice – I love this dish in coz I am big fan of one-dish meals. You will a good variety of rice (similar to Japanese rice) that you can enjoy with a good amount of scallops. Its a little oily though but when did that stop us from enjoying fried rice?
By the way, you can book their meeting area in side Asian Cow for your small gatherings or meetings. The space can accomodate 12 up to 15 people.
Cheers to our hotel alumnus, Chef Patrick Co, for taking time to cook especially for us and for going out your way to prep your version of Tuna Tartare and that special Chocolate Ice Cream cake. Your service team was excellent, too.
On top of the wonderful food is a great company with a woman who has became one of the respected lady in the event styling industry. Thank you for sharing a wonderful time with us, Ms. Annie. No dull moments, as always.
