...for one more dazzling performance by the teppan masters of Teppanya at SM by the Bay.

The Unlimited Madness, Premium Unlimited Madness and new Super Premium Unlimited Madness deals allow you to customize your teppan feast to suit any craving or budget. 

Our teppan master for dinner, Chef Loverdy, preps the grill for his much awaited performance. Fire and flavor, food and entertainment comes together in a seamless weave at Teppanya. Just how do you top a proven formula for success like the Ultimate Madness? Add even more premium ingredients to an already impressive selection with the Super Premium Ultimate Madness at Teppanya in SM by the Bay. That evening, Chef Loverdy presented a preview of the latest and probably most lavish Unlimited Madness upgrade yet with the Super Premium version at Teppanya featuring an impressive line-up of high-end dishes from fresh seafood including plump and large Hokkaido Scallops and Wild Alaskan Snow Crabs to Wagyu Beef from Australia and Japan, Australian Duck Breast and Iberico Secreto from Spain. The Super Premium Ultimate Madness set will be be initially available at the SM by the Bay location, eventually rolling out to their other branches. 

The feast began with premium Bluefin Tuna Otoro Sashimi, the fattiest part from the belly with a dab of aguachile made with Japanese Shishito chili and homemade pickled onions. The otoro with its beautiful speckled marbling just melts in your mouth releasing a burst of briny sweetness tempered by the Shishito chili and pickled onions for that delicately balanced finish. The opening act of the Super Premium Ultimate Madness preview sets the tone for the rest of the evening with fresh and clean flavors...

...followed by even more selections from the day's freshest catch. A quick glance at the menu inclusions reveal a mouthwatering list of handcrafted creations like Nigiri, Temaki and Aburi Sushi, Sashimi and Sashimi Platters, Makimono and Chef's Special Rolls. 

The day's freshest premium catch is the base for Teppanya's wide repertoire of seafood dishes, transformed by their skilled chefs into a variety of elegant expressions and flavors.  

After the first seafood courses, Chef Loverdy then ignites a light show at the teppan grill...

...for the Wagyu Usuyaki Roll, a savory roll with enoki mushrooms wrapped in a fork-tender slice of juicy Wagyu beef. The fiery grill is part of that signature Teppanya experience. Nothing beats being served dishes prepared right in front of you and served fresh off the teppan grill at its flavorful peak. And the slick performance is the icing on the cake.

It doesn't take long for the Wagyu Usuyaki Roll to get that seared finish, and Chef Loverdy delicately slices each roll...

...serving it topped with crisp garlic chips and Teppanya's own special sauce. The deep, nutty hints of the mushrooms add both texture and flavor with each bite, perfectly finished by the buttery richness of the Wagyu beef.  

In between bites, the Wagyu Aburi and Wagyu Aburi with Ikura continued the savory procession started by the Wagyu Usuyaki Roll served earlier. The clean and fresh richness of the Wagyu beef cuts through with a flavorful punch while the Ikura or salmon roe brings that layer of contrasting sharpness and briny sweetness to the palate for another delectable play on contrasting yet balanced flavors. 

The Hokkaido Giant Scallop is one of the many featured dishes in the Super Premium Ultimate Madness package for a succulent seafood treat. Fresh off the cold waters of Hokkaido, each bite delivers deep, clean and delicate notes that can only come from cold water seafood. 

Gently seared on the grill for a few minutes, the Hokkaido Giant Scallop is one more opulent addition to the new Super Premium Ultimate Madness at Teppanya. Topped with fish roe and spring onions, each juicy and succulent bite lingers on the palate draping it with rich briny notes. That's pure indulgence. And that's part of the new Super Premium Ultimate Madness menu at Teppanya. 

One more Hokkaido Giant Scallop? Yes, please. The Giant Hokkaido Scallops is just one of many tasty highlights from the Super Premium Ultimate Madness menu at Teppanya...

...and there's more. The elegantly plated Wild Alaskan Snow Crab is another prime catch with its light yet briny sweet notes teasing the palate. It's easy to pick the crab meat off the shell, and a bite just highlights the flavorful difference of the cold water seafood catch versus the usual seafood. The seafood and Wagyu beef starters alone are enough reasons to visit Teppanya.

A refreshing Lemon Sorbet was served before the next set of courses to cleanse the palate...

...starting with the Emperor Aburi Set with Foie Gras, Wagyu with Black Truffle and Unagi. Each aburi brings its own unique flavors from the bold beefy notes of the Wagyu beef made richer with hints of indulgent black truffle, the decadent richness of foie gras and the smoky sweetness of unagi for a savory trifecta at Teppanya.

The first of the savory steaks were then presented starting with the Australian Darling Downs Wagyu MB5 Picanha taking the spotlight on the teppan grill...

...expertly seared, rested then sliced by Chef Loverdy...

...and served. The beautifully marbled Australian Darling Downs Wagyu MB5 Picanha just melts in your mouth releasing luscious savory notes. Premium Australian Wagyu has a similar marbling pattern to Japanese Wagyu and a true Wagyu connoisseur can spot the subtle and nuanced differences in flavor and mouthfeel. At Teppanya, you can indulge in both Australian and Japanese Wagyu, and experience the distinct savory richness of both prized cuts of beef in one place.  

Perfectly grilled to medium with a juicy pink center, the first of the premium Wagyu beef courses at Teppanya is an impressive start to a memorable teppan feast.  

Teppanya also offers a variety of refreshing beverages to complete your teppan dining experience. Enjoy a round of ice-cold beer or better yet, a round of chilled sake. It's the perfect libation for a sumptuous feast like this at Teppanya.

Chef Loverdy then presented the JPN Miyazaki Wagyu A5 BMS 8-9 Chuck Strip Steak from Japan, showcasing the kitchen's arsenal of premium beef. With its fine speckled marbling, each bite delivers a flavorful burst of pure and clean buttery notes. Raised and processed in Japan's famed Miyazaki prefecture, it just doesn't get more legit than this.  

Each dish served so far is an elevated experience in a continuous progression of world-class ingredients. And it just keeps getting better with each successive dish at Teppanya...  

Chef Loverdy then prepares Japanese Fried Rice or chahan to pair with the savory courses...

...in another masterful display of skill and precision on the teppan grill. The hearty bowl of chahan is great as is and a comforting meal in itself. But there's more from the Super Premium Ultimate Madness at Teppanya. 

Fire and flashy knife work announce the next savory dish...

...with the Iberico Secreto Steak from Spain's famed "pata negra" breed or black pigs. Considered the very best cut from the Spanish black pig, the Iberico Secreto Steak is richly marbled with thin layers of fat for that tender and juicy finish. Iberico Secreto is the thin cut hidden on the side of the neck between the shoulder blade and loin, with each pig yielding only two cuts which explains its premium pricing. Each bite delivers a subtle nutty sweetness finished by juicy and savory notes and just a hint of smokiness from the grill. Where else can you enjoy Iberico Secreto fresh of the teppan grill? 

The A5 Wagyu Sando is another tasty bite that impresses with its slab of Wagyu beef in between pillow soft brioche topped with gold leaf. One bite is pure beefy bliss...

...reminding you once more why Wagyu is at the very top of the beef hierarchy. And yes, you can have another. Only with the Super Premium Unlimited Madness at Teppanya. Why stop with just one serving, right? 

The teppan grill lights up once more to announce even more savory treats from Chef Loverdy...

A few more bites of the JPN Miyazaki Wagyu A5 BMS 8-9 Chuck Strip Steak served earlier just seals the deal on the Super Premium Unlimited Madness package at Teppanya. Try the steak as is to enjoy the elegantly pure beef notes. For the second bite, gently slide a slab of Wagyu beef on the proprietary house pepper blend topped with crisp paper thin garlic chips and repeat. The specialty house sauce, pepper blend and garlic chips at Teppanya complement the line-up of Wagyu and Iberico Secreto adding even more flavor and textural contrasts.    

Chef Loverdy then checks on the temperature of the Australian Duck Breast...

...and it's ready for carving. The Australian Duck Breast Fillet adds yet another layer to your dining experience at Teppanya with its own unique flavors. 

With its juicy pink center, the quality of the Australian Duck Breast Fillet becomes immediately evident with none of the usual gamey hints. Just fresh and clean savory flavors. The new Super Premium Unlimited Madness at Teppanya takes variety to a whole new level with its high-end offerings. But Teppanya isn't done just yet...

Chef Loverdy is back at work on the grill with another spectacular light show for even more dishes...

The JPN Miyazaki Wagyu A5 BMS Chuck Eye Steak rounds out the premium Wagyu feast at Teppanya. Tender and buttery with that indulgent marbling, Teppanya lets you experience unlimited world-class beef straight from Japan in the metro. The different Wagyu beef selections are enough reasons to visit Teppanya, with even more tempting options including Iberico Secreto, Australian Duck, Wild Alaskan Snow Crab and Hokkaido Scallops to tease your palate...

...as well as the Iberico Secreto Pluma Steak for another taste from the very best of Spain. The "pluma" or "feather" is generally darker in color than the prized loin from the Spanish black pig with the same exquisite marbling. The savory notes are also bolder and rounder for that flavorful burst with each bite.

Just a few minutes on the grill, and Chef Loverdy served up the savory finale to an all-out Super Premium Unlimited Madness experience at Teppanya. 

Pork and beef offer two separate and distinct flavors, but the flavorful lines blur between the Iberico Secreto Steak and Iberico Secreto Pluma Steak with the world renowned Wagyu beef. Both equally rich, tender and juicy with fresh and bold flavors, the world's best pork and beef combine for a teppan feast like no other. One more bite and you've just experienced all the best of the world in one place. At Teppanya.   

Chef Loverdy doesn't forget dessert, and the light show continues at Teppanya...

...culminating with the decadent Banana Flambé. And this sneak preview of the offerings for the Super Premium Unlimited Madness at Teppanya is just part of the vast array of options, which includes succulent lobsters too. 

The Ulitimate Madness Teppanyaki experience starts at P 1,988+ per person for Lunch from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm and Dinner from 4:00 pm to 12:00 midnight. The Super Premium Unlimited Madness upgrade is available for P 4,999+ per person which includes all the top shelf and high-end selections from Australian and Japanese Wagyu Beef, Spanish Iberico Secreto, imported Australian Duck breast, Hokkaido Scallops and Wild Alaskan Snow Crabs in the mix.
