  • Bistro Charlemagne in Nuvali: A Concept By Little Asia
  •  

    If you happen to know Little Asia back in 2001, then you’ll surely love their newly improved concept that is Bistro Charlemagne; a taste of Asian fusion with a hint of Western cuisines. Named after the owner, Mr. Charlemagne Lim, this restaurant gives you a historic and flavorful selection of mixed cuisines with 40% of the dishes from Little Asia and 60%, newly invented dishes.

    Back in 2001, when not a single restaurant was serving Asian fusion with Western dishes, they decided to mix up everything and come up with ‘Little Asia’. By 2015, they decided to create a new concept and called it Bistro Charlemagne: A Concept by Little Asia.

    Inside Bistro Charlemagne

    With almost hundred dishes on the menu, Bistro Charlemagne is committed to innovating new dishes that will surely catch the adventurous taste of the customers. One of their newest offerings is the Mixed seafood salad (Php285) or tossed tuna, shrimp and kani with spicy mayo finished with tempura flakes, ebiko, and sweet soy.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
