Inside S Maison at Conrad Manila is a real gem—Epilogue, a Japanese-European fine bistro.
“It’s our first chef-driven restaurant,” said Alyanna Uy, president of Epilogue and one of the people behind Hokkaido Ramen Santouka, Katsu Sora, Bijin Nabe by Tsukada Nono, Siam Thai and Camp Curry. “It brings together the sophistication of European flavors with Japanese discipline. There’s a Japanese principle called kodawari, it means the pursuit of perfection. They really work hard on perfecting their craft.
Next came Egg—hot-cold soft boiled egg, king crab meat and maple cream chanty in an actual egg shell. Meno encouraged us to mix it before eating it with our spoon or dipping the brioche in it. It was rich and creamy and sent our tastebuds singing.The next dish was called Norway—cured salmon plated like it was swimming and served with poireaux vinaigrette, lump fish caviar, moscato cube, yuzu.
The degustation was generous serving after generous serving of pure deliciousness and the truth is we wished we wouldn’t end.But when it did, it did on a high note—with Epilogue’s Banana Tart: almond cream, caramelized banana, vanilla ice cream in a puff pastry bowl and a plate perfectly streaked with caramel sauce.
The regular menu is also a delight—and categorized under parts of a book: introduction , preface , foreword , dedication , chapter and verse .Meno’s pasta and pizzas are a big hit with diners. Uy suggests first timers to try their take on Caesar salad, Margherita pizza, Foie’s Gold , Granchio or the trofie pesto . For mains, her pick is the duck a l’orange or any of their steaks. “They’re all good,” she said.
