Gastronômade Manila is a project cooked up by Gen T honouree chef Aaron Isip! He has made ready-to-cook meals and expertly-crafted sauces that will make every meal outstanding.
For a man who loves to travel, chef Aaron Isip misses it sorely. He wanted to take flavours of the world to our dining tables during a time when airplanes are unfilled and luggages unpacked. “With Gastronômade Manila we bring you sauces inspired by travel. We've mixed flavours from the east and west that would transport you to memories of past food adventures,” shares chef and saucier, Aaron Isip.
Isip spent a chapter of his life cooking his heart out in Paris where he was awarded Chef Espoir 2015 for Île de France by renowned guide Gault et Millau, from which he won two Toques. With over 13 years of experience and a lifetime of passion for food, Isip sincerely hopes that you all will be able to use his creations to add some extra excitement to your meals.
With a focus on fabulous sauces, they have bottled up unique and flavour-packed concoctions well suited to a variety of proteins. A restaurant’s saucier is one of the most important people in the kitchen. Many people don’t realise how powerful and vital sauces are in a dish until you are missing it or you receive the wrong kind. To create the right broth, sauce, or condiment requires such a skilled hand and finessed palate. “The sauce brings the dish together," says Isip. "It can either make or break a dish. Sauces are important to me because I think it is the perfect gauge to determine a chef’s talent—the skill to create a balance of flavours that can make an impact on one’s emotions via their palate is something very outstanding and fascinating to me. It is the very essence of being a chef. Any chef can be trained to be the best in meat butchery or the fastest in filleting fish, etc. But to hone one’s palate in creating flavour takes years,” Isip explains.
