Sunday Lunch at Novotel Manila Araneta Center's Food Exchange

From classic Filipino favorites to authentic Chinese dishes, Indian cuisine, oven fresh pizzas and hearty pastas, the freshest catch of the day and an impressive array of savory dishes, the Food Exchange at Novotel Manila Araneta Center has it all.


The aptly named Food Exchange of Novotel Manila Araneta Center takes you on a culinary journey of global flavors in the heart of Quezon City. From east to west and everything in between, the Food Exchange is the perfect spot to explore the world's flavors all in one place...


With a wide selection of dishes representing different cuisines from around the world, lunch at the Food Exchange elevates Sunday lunch to global scale with its lavish offerings (for more on Novotel Manila Araneta Center's Food Exchange, see my previous posts, Flavors of Pampanga: The Kanyaman Filipino Food Festival by Chef Sau del Rosario at Novotel Manila's Food Exchange on the successful food festival highlighting local and regional flavors, Bringing The Vibrant Flavors of Asian Street Food to Novotel Manila's Food Exchange on the diverse flavors of Asian street food, Celebrate The Flavors of the Season at Novotel Manila Araneta Center's Food Exchange on its sumptuous seasonal offerings, International Flavors at Novotel Manila's Food Exchange on its wide buffet selections and Flavorful Celebrations at Novotel Manila Araneta Center on themed culinary offerings at the Food Exchange). A variety of choices and value combine for one of the best deals this side of the metro. Start with some fresh sushi, sashimi, maki, and rolls from the Japanese Station and some fresh mussels sauteed in butter from the Seafood Station...


At the Carving Station, you'll find a variety of tasty options like the Swiss-German Leberkase, a type of meatloaf almost like bologna sausage made from a blend of beef, pork and bacon. The different ingredients are finely ground and baked in a loaf pan until the crust is crisp. 


You'll also find a variety of roast meats, including Roast Beef and many others like grilled sausages, chorizo, roast chicken and roast pork belly with a crisp outer layer of crackling to satisfy your carnivorous cravings.


Cross culinary borders by simply walking down the aisle and indulge in rich Spanish flavors with a variety of Paella dishes. Not to be missed is the Food Exchange's unique spin on the classic paella with their Sisig Paella and the Paella Negra.


Enjoy the flavors of the exotic east with its selection of dim sum, roasted meats, and noodles...


...or indulge in comfortingly familiar flavors like kare-kare with an inventive twist. Topped with crisp and crunchy pork belly instead of beef, the Pork Belly Kare-Kare has its own distinctive richness that pairs well with heaps of shrimp paste and steamed white rice.


That day, more local flavors were served, including this hearty Beef Caldereta with tender chunks of beef draped in a thick and rich sauce. Extra rice? Absolutely.


Help yourself with the Seafood Stir-Fry, a sumptuous medley of succulent mussels, shrimps, and squid topped with fresh chili...


...or discover the flavors of India with authentic dishes prepared by Chef Rajan like his Vegetable Biryani...


...that pairs so well with his savory Rogan Josh, a lamb dish simmered for hours in a thick sauce.


Taste the world, one plate at a time. And come back for seconds and thirds.


But leave room for dessert. Indulge in the Food Exchange's homemade ice cream...


...or have a crepe prepared a la minute with your choice of sweet filling to cap your feast. Make Sunday lunch with the family even more special...at the Food Exchange.
