Sinigang na Salmon Belly sa Miso at Cafe Belmont | Belmont Hotel Manila

Belmont Hotel Manila takes pride in their Filipino dishes created by Chef Dean Manalo who is a native of Pampanga and is known for cooking dishes in their traditional, laborious and labor intensive way. The Sinigang na Salmon Belly sa Miso for example does not use instant tamarind soup powders. Instead, chef uses fresh tamarinds as a souring agent for his miso broth.

Crispy Pata at Cafe Belmont | Belmont Hotel Manila

The Crispy Pata also did not take a short cut. The pork leg was slow boiled for hours and hours and is then fried over high heat to achieve that crackling crispy texture and sound in each bite. The meat was super tender and really went well with the soy-vinegar-garlic dipping sauce.

Kare-Kare at Cafe Belmont | Belmont Hotel Manila

No one does Kare-Kare anymore just like in the old days when peanuts were roasted and pounded to become a paste, which is then turned into a silky broth for this Filipino beef dish. The meat was very tender while the vegetables were crunchy and sweet. The Kare-Kare also had a hint of smokey flavor which came from the pan roasted rice which are then pounded and mixed with the peanut sauce.



Overall, we enjoyed our weekend stayation at Belmont Hotel Manila. Although the rooms are a bit small, the room amenities are top of the line. Most importantly, the bed was very comfortable and the shower has strong water pressure. The breakfast also had a good selection. There are also plenty of activities available to guests, plus other leisure activities guests can enjoy at Resorts World integrated resort.
