His restaurant’s name is inspired by the legendary Le Relais de Venise–L'Entrecôte in Paris. Founded in 1959 by Paul Gineste de Saurs, the restaurant has made a name for itself by just serving steak-frites for its main dish with a unique butter sauce.

Chef Kaspar is no stranger to the Philippines having first set foot in the country in 1986 as a young Junior Sous Chef at the then Hyatt Regency. He then occupied different culinary postings in Manila Hotel, The Byron Hotel and Stars of Giorgio before going back to Europe and joining the Swissôtel Group in 2000 starting out in Zurich then going to the group’s Sydney, Australia property.

Chef Kaspar came back to the Philippines in 2010 to establish l’entrecôte Corner Bar & Bistro and is now a permanent resident.

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity!

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
