Richmonde presents Tabu-an

Each year, the activities during the Dinagyang festival in Iloilo City have become more and more exciting with must-see competitions, pageants and shows to fill your three-day itinerary. But no matter how busy your schedule may be, one should always make time to sample authentic Ilonggo dishes.

This year you only need to visit one place to indulge in the best of the city’s traditional food fare. Richmonde Hotel Iloilo, which is conveniently located within the modern Iloilo Business Park development, presents for just one special night Tabu-an sa Dinagyang, a heritage dinner buffet featuring the heirloom dishes of Iloilo’s top chef, Rafael “Tibong” Jardeleza (photo).

A staunch advocate of preserving and promoting Ilonggo cuisine, Chef Tibong has been featured in media to educate the public on the true identity of Iloilo food that is much broader than the usual batchoy, pancit molo and KBL.

Tabu-an sa Dinagyang is presented in partnership with San Miguel Beer on Jan. 26, Saturday, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the hotel’s pool deck area. Tickets to the dinner buffet are priced at P2,000 per person.
