Back at Novotel Manila's Food Exchange...

Sushi, authentic Indian cuisine, the day's freshest catch and more, all in one place...

Up north, you don't have to go down south of the metro for an impressive buffet spread, it's all here at Novotel Manila Araneta Center's Food Exchange (for more on Novotel Manila, see my previous post, Novotel Manila: Luxury Comes to Quezon City and Novotel Manila: Transforming The Landscape in Quezon City on my travel blog). A short drive to the heart of Quezon City sets you off on a global culinary journey, one plate at a time, at Novotel Manila's Food Exchange.

At the Japanese Station, indulge in some Sushi Love of the Day with some innovative creations (for more on the Food Exchange, see my earlier posts, International Flavors at Novotel Manila's Food Exchange on their impressive buffet spread featuring the best of global cuisine, and Flavorful Celebrations at Novotel Manila on their seasonal offerings).

...with a wide selection of freshly prepared sushi in unique heart shapes topped with fruits along with other fruit-topped rolls...

...including one topped with kiwi fruit. Then, indulge in some premium tuna and salmon to complete your seafood feast.

Continue your Asian culinary journey with a plate of the classic Stir-Fry Beef with peppers and onions...

...and don't forget to make a quick stop at Chef Rajan's Indian Station with his selection of Spicy Pickled Vegetables, Chicken Tikka, Shrimp Fry and creamy Chicken Dal Curry with Vegetable Basmati Rice, Vegetable Raita and delicately crisp Naan Bread for an exotic and authentic taste of India. 

Chef Rajan's Indian cuisine is one of the many reasons I enjoy coming back to Novotel Manila, and one bite of his sumptuous Indian buffet spread just makes you feel good going back to the Food Exchange. But there's more, like the day's freshest catch cooked just the way you want it, including fresh Grilled Stuffed Squid served with a soy-vinegar dip with chili...

...plump Clams, perfect when delicately sauteed in butter and loads of garlic...

...and succulent Crabs, great when cooked with a spicy chili pepper sauce. But save room for dessert at Novotel Manila's newest culinary attraction opening just in time for summer. Time for some indulgent ice cream at Novotel Manila's Ice N Cream (see my next post on the new Ice N Cream by Novotel at Chill. At Novotel Manila's Ice N Cream...).

The Food Exchange is located at the ground floor of Novotel Manila Araneta Center, General Aguinaldo Avenue, Araneta Center, Quezon City or call 990-7888 for inquiries and more information.
