WHY GO

Championing Filipino cuisine, Sentro 1771 consistently elevates heirloom dishes. The menu may be overwhelming to some with its variety of reimagined Filipino favourites, so best to refer to the photos on the menu and be mindful of the meal sizes.

TATLER TIPS

• Don’t miss its signature sinigang na corned beef. Here, chef Vicky Pacheco uses tender, chunky, home-made corned beef as a substitute to the usual beef brisket, bringing out delicious flavours in the sour soup. Before the dish arrives, a waiter will oblige you with a tasting sample of the soup to check if the acidity is just the way you’d like it.

• Savour the appetising, bite-sized Rated GG (galunggong fillets), fried in olive oil and garnished with toasted garlic.

• Cap off your meal with any of Sentro 1771’s decadent desserts. Kesong puti, the soft, no-crust cheesecake served with a side of quezo de bola slices, and salted egg is a must-try.
