It was supposed to be an evening centered on Chinese cuisine and craft cocktails enjoyed in a cozy, contemporary setting. It turned into a night not just brimming with Sichuan Sour and Shanghai Spritz but also of intoxicating exchange of wild tales from the print industry, a veritable multiverse of madness and mini mayhem.
This is the magic of a great resto-bar: it provides more than just a space to indulge in food and drinks; it invites patrons to lower their defenses and weave an evening filled with unexpectedly indelible moments. To eat, drink, perchance to remember it all in the morning.Such is a great reason for being of something like Red Lotus by The Bistro Group — a younger, more adventurous sibling to Modern Shang — now open at One Bonifacio High Street.
And the Chinese dishes are as contemporized as the interiors, with staples such as the roast duck, glazed pork, and xiao long bao transformed into something exciting and new. The Bistro Group’s Lisa Ronquillo-Along, chief marketing officer, and Divine Peralta, director of operations, stress how Red Lotus is an upscale spin-off of Modern Shanghai and is geared towards the younger set.“This is very fitting for the BGC crowd,” says Lisa. She adds how this Bistro Group original restaurant concept is close to their hearts. “We always leverage the strength of the name of Bistro whenever we come up with new brands, especially homegrown and local.
Divine shares, “And people go here for the roast duck — our signature duck with our secret recipe. It is a staple in Chinese restaurants, but ours comes with a modern twist. My favorite dishes here are the spareribs and the wings.”
