Flatiron Back to Back with Sentro 1771 in Uptown Mall

1771 Group of Restaurants once again brings its delectable cuisine in the forefront as it opened Sentro 1771 in Uptown Mall! Sentro 1771 is conveniently located beside its sister restaurant, Flatiron at the Upper Ground Floor, Uptown Bonifacio Mall, 36th Street corner 9th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. 

“Flatiron was well received by patrons of Uptown Bonifacio. This progress alongside the emergence of various establishments in Bonifacio Global Center, specifically, in Uptown Bonifacio and the presence of a diverse community complemented with 1771’s followers garnered through the years, are positive indicators that, indeed, there is a market in the vicinity. There is a flourishing food culture and expanding Sentro 1771 is most opportune” said Vicky Pacheco, Executive Chef and COO of 1771 Group of Restaurants.

Sentro 1771 is the brainchild of Chef Vicky who wanted to steer clear of the plain and the usual by creating modern Filipino food. She has consistently been bold in experimenting with flavors and exploring ways and techniques to revamp standard Filipino recipes to extraordinary, sophisticated and world class.

Sentro 1771’s unconventional yet superb take on Filipino cuisine brings it to the pedestal as one of the most celebrated restaurants in the country. Its invasion in Uptown Bonifacio aims to cater for guests who are hungry and wanting the most satisfying treat to the palate. It can also accommodate events in its cozy function room fit for an intimate gathering of 10-30 guests. 

Sentro 1771 follows the steps of its sister restaurant, Flatiron, which opened its first branch in the same mall last year.  Flatiron serves impeccable flavors of nothing but goodness of comfort food prepared on a griddle. Its menu is an eclectic collection of comfort food that is American in core with a touch of European and Asian influences. Consumers craving for a mouthwatering dining experience will be served with delectable urban comfort food.

People who flock Uptown Bonifacio can also feast on Sentro 1771’s other premium-quality modern Filipino dishes like Adobo, Caldereta, Spring Rolls to name a few. And of course, Filipinos are insanely addicted to desserts! Sentro 1771’s Keso Flan, a Filipino version of cheesecake topped with salted egg, keeps pulling diners back to eat and enjoy the amazing dining experience.

Filipinos are accustomed to the typical sinigang na baboy, hipon or isda. One will hardly think of other possible versions of Sinigang but Sentro 1771 did and it resulted in perfection. The fully brined corned beef and the rich sour broth equate to a delicious sinigang. This unique reinvention of Sentro 1771 has been the best seller through the years.

Sentro 1771 also took everyone by surprise when it transformed galunggong, a modest food one would hardly find in a restaurant, into a sumptuous classy dish served with olive oil. Coined as “Rated GG”, this dish gave the unexpected satisfaction to the high-end market.

Drawn from its name, Flatiron Brisket 6 is the restaurant’s house specialty, definitely, a must-try! The meat is slowly cooked for 6 hours to achieve the perfect fusion of tasteful ingredients and the right amount of tenderness.  One can also devour on its Chicken Piccata, thinly-pounded chicken breast fried in butter and tossed in lemon butter sauce. The richness of the lemon butter sauce is balanced by the lightly creamed spaghettini. Another comfort food that will surely fill a growling stomach is the Corned Beef Skillet sautéed with onions and tomatoes that comes with sunny side eggs and a choice of rice or potato bread rolls.

Conclude the dining experience with a bang! After savoring on Flatiron’s heavy delicious meals, diners can indulge in the sweetness of the Intense Brownie Burger, a coffee ice cream sandwiched between 2 Swiss Chocolate fudge brownies on a cream cheese sauce mirror slathered with chocolate espresso sauce and toffee sauce. Its name says it all! One can expect for an intense, powerhouse combination of these melt-in-your-mouth ingredients.

Both Sentro 1771 and Flatiron accept reservations either through phone calls with contact numbers 792-9133 (Sentro 1771) and 802-5458 (Flatiron) or through a visit in their restaurants exactly located

Women Empowerment Talk at Stew Comfort Food by Chef Michelle Adrillana

As a wife of an OFW I know how difficult it is to budget the hard-earned money my husband is sending from Korea. Good thing Joy Mendiola of Occasions of Joy tagged me along at Women Empowerment Talk at Stew Comfort Food by Chef Michelle Adrillana at Addition Hills, Mandaluyong, where I met the two women who started Women Empowerment.

With the last coffee date between Rowena Suarez and Joy Felizardo, they talked about these how women can come together to strengthen each other and how she's very willing to share her knowledge about money matters, budgeting, savings, starting out a business, keeping up a business and essential topics every woman needed to understand, to be able to gain freedom from stress, financial uncertainty, poverty, poor health, personal insecurities and many others.

Ms. Joy and Ms. Ro talked about throwing a Party Without Getting Broke. It was all about DIY-ing a simple party and how budgeting and early planning can make any occasion-planning fail-proof.

After the talk were served Chef Michelle’s best-selling pasta dish, Quattro Formaggi and Grilled Cheese Sandwich and e @SpringValleyPH Mango and Banana drink and @PoptopsPH.

Everyone is welcome to attend WE Talk where you will learn a lot in terms of financial planning. For updates on talks, make sure to follow their updates at their Facebook page- @WEManila.
