Chef's Table at Balmori is currently hosting UNDO by MODAN until September 20, 2026. This limited-time dining experience highlights new dishes by Chef Jorge Mendez who is at the helm of MODAN.MNL.
For starters, we got the Salmon Shiso Tempura and Tebasaki. My daughter enjoyed the Salmon Shiso Tempura and serving portion is good for sharing. I really can't remember the salmon because I was excited to try the Tebasaki. Alas, it fell short of expectations and pinsec frito comes to mind upon first bite.
Next was pasta called Hiyashi Angel Hair with Roasted Nori & Clam Collagen. A bit bland but filling. The Buta Kakuni with Mustard Apple Kudzu was good although not quite exceptional if I'll compare it to the other times we dined at Chef's Table. We got plain rice with the buta since the hubby can't move past a meal without his carbs.
For sweets, we had the Warabi Mochi Sundae which I liked but I'd rather get my warabi fix somewhere else, and the Hazelnut Panna Cotta with Hojicha Sauce.
Overall, I think our food choices doesn't pair well with each other. Food portion filled our tummies but not our hearts.
