MEET THE CHEFS
By bringing unbridled creativity and passion to every dish, chef Takeshi “Goh” Fukuyama has made a name for himself in Japan as one of the most sought-after master chefs. His restaurant La Maison de la Nature Goh, which he opened in 2016 and became renowned for its imaginative French-Japanese omakase, has been consistently ranked in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.
For Solaire’s 11th anniversary celebrations, Goh will be crafting an eightcourse dinner featuring a tantalizing array of dishes such as foie gras monaka, white asparagus cream Fukinotou Blancmange, tuna and fermented tomato, sake steamed abalone, shiitake mushroom risotto, white fish wrapped in cabbage with the scent of Ariake seaweed, Kyushu Kuroge Wagyu beef and spicy crab curry. White and red strawberry for dessert ends this delicately crafted menu.
Chef Christina Bowerman began her culinary journey at the Glass Hostaria in Rome in 2006. It led to a Michelin star in 2010. She was the only woman recipient that year.
At Solaire’s Finestra, Bowerman will prepare a six-course dinner featuring vitello tonnato, classic risotto à la meunière, Italian gyoza, marbled beef wagyu ribeye alongside mulberry reduction, celery root terrine, hot garlic and oxtail foam, with popcorn and passion fruit dulce de leche for the finale.
Chef Xu Fan, a maestro of Sichuan cuisine, is the visionary behind the Michelin-starred Xujia Cuisine in Chengdu, China. The restaurant has several accolades under its belt, including China’s top 50 restaurants for six consecutive years and the Black Pearl 1 Diamond restaurant for five years.
At Solaire’s Red Lantern, Chef Xu will curate an eight-course dinner featuring deepfried angus beef tenderloin, homemade chicken ball served in clear chicken soup, wok fried rock lobster with litchi and sweet chili sauce, steamed star garoupa with sichuan green chili, green peppercorn, premium soy sauce, USDA beef short ribs with Sichuan bean paste, truffles, vegetables, crispy gillardeau oyster served with ginger sauce, dan dan noodles, homemade noodles with minced pork and Sichuan ice jelly with mixed nuts and jelly with brown sugar for dessert.
Certified sake samurai and sake master brewer Akihiro Igarashi and Luis de Santos, the first and only master sommelier of Filipino descent will serve curated drinks to cap off the celebration.
