MACAU 12 September 2018 – Chef Jordy Navarra of the critically acclaimed restaurant Toyo Eatery featured Filipino cuisine through an eight-course and five-course dinner menu at Galaxy Macau’s Glasshouse on 07 and 08 September 2018.

The menu included Chef Navarra’s take on some Filipino classics like Bicol Express, Nilupak, and Ube with Latik. The majority of the dinner items, however, consisted of the chef’s modern creations.
