Dive into new gastronomic depths with heavenly dishes from AQUA BORACAY
Boracay is famed for its white sand beaches, vibrant and diverse marine life that’s as colorful as the bars that dot the shores, and the majestic sapphire sea that leaves tourists in awe. While these drive people to flock to this world-renowned island, it’s the delectable food that keeps them coming back for more. Among them is Aqua Boracay’s new restaurants, sea.food and QTCHN. Serving only the finest and freshest seafood to its diners, Chef Chele Gonzalez has curated a variety of mouthwatering dishes that complement life at the beachside, and spiced them up with his own take.
MUD CRAB WITH SICHUAN SAUCE
Inspired by the Szechuan cuisine of China, the Mud Crab immediately gives a spicy kick at the first bite. This punchy sauce is drizzled all over the tender meat of the crab, harmonizing with its mildly briny taste.
SCALLOPS
WITH SQUID INK RICE
Squid ink not only serves as a great defense mechanism, it also makes for a surprisingly tasty additive for rice. The saltiness of the scallops cuts through the richness of the squid ink rice. Tame the saline profile by pairing it with bread.
NORWEGIAN SALMON SALAD
The flavors of the sea come to life with the best the land has to offer. Greens, cucumber, red radish mix, and thin slices of salmon make a hearty salad that you won’t be able to resist. Zest and dollops of sour cream add a refreshing tangy flavor that enhances the brackish taste of the fish.
YAKITORI
Starring one of the most exotic yet appetizing seafood, the yakitori’s combination of roasted octopus and golden crisps makes the perfect antipasto. The contrasting textures and flavors are the right balance to prepare the taste buds for the lipsmacking courses that will follow.
KINILAW AND CAMOTE CHIPS
This dish is loved all over the archipelago, but with Chef Gonzalez’s twist, it’s become a delicacy available only in Aqua Boracay. This local rendition of ceviche uses vinegar and acidic fruit juices to create a remarkably sour taste. A side of camote chips adds depth to the palette and embellishes the softness of the raw seafood.
Bask in the sun and salty air, swim in the clear waters, and dive into a new seafood experience at Aqua Boracay.
