Bountiful colors play around Persephone in Makati:<\/strong>\u00a0a seasonal kitchen that offers Filipino\u00a0fusion dishes. It’s owned by restaurateur\u00a0Jessica Roasa<\/strong>, who says she found her inspiration through Greek Goddess Persephone<\/em> who brings diversity and freshness.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“Our menu is dynamic and flexible in a sense that when a diner comes in, we can tweak or make a special dish as per their request,” says Roasa, who always makes sure to innovate Persephone’s menu.<\/p>\n

Marrying cuisines such as Korean, Japanese, and Filipino,\u00a0Persephone\u00a0wants to have the familiarity, all while having its own flair for what they’re serving. Located along\u00a0Jupiter Street, this makes it accessible to corporate employees and expats who are in search for good food within reach.<\/p>\n

One of their best-selling dishes is their own take on Tapsilog <\/strong>good for two to three persons. It’s a mix of sirloin steak, pickled onions, kimchi, red cabbage, shimeji tempura, leeks, garlic confit rice and topped with a poached egg. Compared to other Tapsilogs,\u00a0Persephone\u00a0adds a Korean twist on theirs as it\u00a0resembles\u00a0Bibimbap<\/em>, in which you just need to mix all the ingredients together to fully enjoy the dish.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for something light yet flavorful, try their Scallop in Corn<\/strong>\u00a0made of corn puree, roasted cherry tomatoes, blowtorched shallots, chorizo, thyme, spring, onions, and scallops. The creaminess of the corn puree blends well with the perfectly cooked scallops as well as the acidity of the tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Persephone serves brunch until 5:00 pm, perfect for the late risers. For something comforting, order the\u00a0Fruit Pancakes <\/strong>garnished with fresh fruits and edible flowers– this being their trademark when it comes to designing food.<\/p>\n

The underworld play comes in through their own concoctions of cocktails that are served even by day. Aviation <\/strong>somewhat represents the Goddess just by the look and taste of it. Aviation is made with Tanqueray, peach syrup, violet liqueur, and lemon, added with cherry for femininity. This drink will surely blend in well with your meals.<\/p>\n
