Discover the taste of luxury: Kurobuta Pork Showcase at The Manila Hotel’s Café Ilang-Ilang

Café Ilang-Ilang, the renowned dining destination at The Manila Hotel, is thrilled to showcase a series of mouthwatering dishes featuring the exceptional quality and flavor of local Kurobuta pork throughout the month of June.

Discover the “Wagyu of Pork”

Kurobuta, a type of pork originating from the English county of Berkshire, is often referred to as the “black pig” in Japanese. Renowned for its abundant marbling, tenderness, and rich flavor profile, Kurobuta pork has earned the moniker “Wagyu of pork.”

A Collaboration for Sustainable Excellence

“We are delighted to enhance the buffet spread at Café Ilang-Ilang with the produce of Esguerra Farms,” states Konrad Walter, Executive Chef at The Manila Hotel. Esguerra Farms, located in Lipa, Batangas, is committed to employing sustainable and ethical farming practices, prioritizing animal welfare and environmental conservation. With a dedicated Kurobuta Village on the farm, the pigs are raised in a safe, clean, and stress-free environment. They receive proper shelter, nourishment, and care, resulting in a higher pH level, maximum marbling, and the retention of natural flavor and healthier meat color.
