Glimmering with elegance, Dusit Thani Manila just added a sparkle to the season with a Christmas tree lighting ceremony held last November 17 to officially mark the start of the festive celebrations in the hotel.
The event commenced with the tree lighting led by general manager Stanley Lo and joined by Dusit Thani Philippines Inc., president and vice chairman Evelyn Singson, vice mayor of Makati Monique Lagdameo, designer Jerry Sibal and Department of Tourism NCR director Sharlene Batin. One of the country’s musical treasures Kuh Ledesma also graced the evening and serenaded the guests with classical favorites and heart-warming Christmas hymns. The annual tradition was graced by corporate partners, industry partners, media and representatives from diplomatic corps. To give a sparkly holiday twist on a classic tradition, Dusit has once again commissioned the New York-based and Filipino premier events designer, Jerry Sibal. Taking the non-traditional route, Sibal dressed up the lobby with a unique structural art piece composed of Christmas tree adorned with brilliant lights and crystal ornaments, and a majestic shiny reindeer to bring a Yuletide glow to the iconic hotel lobby.
The ceremony also showcased the joyous Christmas treats in store for the hotel’s patron and clientele. You can count on Dusit Thani Manila to make your holiday sparkle with joy as you create memorable moments with your family or friends. From Christmas Rush room package, dining offers, Christmas hampers, to food and beverage vouchers and Devarana Spa vouchers, Dusit Thani Manila dazzles with special moments.

Dusit Thani Manila has joined forces with Jakarta’s 5-star Hotel Borobudur to bring yet another vibrant culinary festival to its all-day dining restaurant, The Pantry.
This time, Dusit Thani Manila expands The Pantry’s buffet by holding the Indonesian Food Festival dubbed Lezat— meaning delicious— which will take guests on a gastronomic journey packed with culinary marvels of the country, courtesy of guest Chef Hendriyono who flew all the way from Hotel Borobudur to bring us a carefully curated menu of some of Indonesia’s finest culinary offerings.
The savory spreads of Lezat can be found at the far end of The Pantry, available alongside the in-house restaurant’s staples. Tucked in a corner is the highlight of the food festival, Hotel Borobudur’s legendary Sop Buntut. The oxtail soup is famous for its rich and flavorful broth with its equally-delicious oxtail meat and other mix-ins. They also have different toppings on display so you can tweak the taste of the soup to your liking.

Another soup that they serve is the Soto Ayam, a hearty chicken soup with the distinct flavor of turmeric.

While one might set their eyes on the Sop Buntut right away, Lezat’s rich spreads of dishes are also worth everyone’s attention. Excite your appetite with their lineup of appetizers such as their Balinese fish satay Sate Lilit Bali and the Sumatera fried dumplings Mpek mpek Palembang.
Moving on to their main dishes, guests can dive into a wide selection of delicious dishes. Have a bite of their Kambing Saus Kecap, which is roasted lamb with soy sauce and coriander, that will remind you of our very own adobo. Try their Bebek Goreng Madura, which is a crispy and flaky duck dish that’s rich in texture and taste. And enjoy the Daging Rendang Padang which is a Sumatera beef stew that is steeped with sumptuous flavor.

Head on to the carvery counter and a Roast Baby Lamb quickly catches one’s attention. The lamb offers tender meat and crisp skin that would definitely woo meat lovers. Also on the station are more sumptuous meats such as the Black Angus Beef Brisket, Smoked Chicken, and Smoked Sausages.

If you fancy fish, you can check out their Pepes Ikan Bandung and indulge in its refreshing umami, or the Ikan Acar Kuning which is pickled fish with the kick of turmeric sauce. For spice seekers, you can also get some of their Sambal Goreng Kentang Balado or spicy potatoes with sambal, and the Ayam Rica Rica, which is a sambal-infused chicken dish.

Aside from the spirits available at The Pantry’s bar counter, you can also opt for an Indonesian beverage made with coconut milk and pandan jelly, which is also a perfect drink to curb the heat from the buffet’s spicy offerings.
Added to The Pantry’s station of cakes and sweet treats are desserts from Indonesia, such as the Kolak Pisan Dan Ubi, Dadar Gulung Dengan and Pisang Goreng, akin to our own ginataan and kakanin, and elevated to cap off a satisfying meal of Indonesian delights.
The Indonesian food festival Lezat is now available on weekends at Dusit Thani Manila’s The Pantry until October 2. Enjoy these Indonesian delicacies on top of The Pantry’s buffet staples for P2,100++ per person for Friday and Saturday dinner buffet; and P2,500++ per person for Sunday brunch. A special a la carte menu will also be offered on regular days for lunch and dinner.
