Make Special Events Sparkle at Buddha-Bar Manila

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Buddha-Bar Manila, the metro’s most sophisticated restaurant-bar-and-lounge, is also earning raves as an events place that caters to different occasions. It is the perfect venue for events, launches, and other special gatherings as it can accommodate big groups in its spacious three-story structure and exclusive VIP rooms.

“Buddha-Bar Manila is a world-class venue for world-class talents,” says Arianne Aguja, marketing manager of Buddha-Bar Manila.

And it truly is.  

In the last 24 months, Buddha-Bar Manila has flown in some of the world’s most renowned turntablists, among them DJ Kirill Doomski from Buddha-Bar Kiev and St. Petersburg for Buddha-Bar’s Black Tie-themed Third Anniversary party, Egyptian-born DJ Mada, the resident J of Buddha-Bar Budapest with his unique mix of chill-out, electronic and world music sprinkled with an ethnic vibe, and Italian-born DJ Papa, the resident DJ of Buddha-Bar Monte Carlo and his repertoire of Lounge, Chill music, and World music.  

Over the past years, international guests and artists have dined and performed at Buddha-Bar Manila. The list includes American singer-actress Renee Olstead, American composer Jim Brickman, American pop rock group The Jonas Brothers, and the Miss Earth International candidates. E! News Channel held press conferences for local actress-TV host Anne Curtis and the country’s first reality series “It Takes Gutz to be a Gutierrez.” Multinational and international companies also prefer to hold their Christmas parties, anniversary parties, and other company milestones at Buddha-Bar Manila.     

Buddha-Bar Manila is also noted for its staple celebrations rendered with unique concepts such as last year’s 5-Course Christmas Gala Set Dinner, Mardi Gras New Year’s Eve Ball with a Special New Year’s Eve Dinner Buffet, and Halloween Fright Night.

Everything that people look for in an ideal and classy events venue can be found at Buddha-Bar Manila, from its soothing, exotic atmosphere, out-of-the-ordinary roster of food and drinks, and fusion music.  

To create a distinct Pacific Rim cuisine, Eastern flavors are thrown into Far Eastern Cuisine with hints of Western inspiration. The end results are culinary delights that perfectly blend in the classic with the current. 

There are understandably dishes that only Buddha-Bar Manila offers, foremost of which are the Warm Duck Wraps, The Crispy Green Fried Boneless Chicken Wings, sprinkled with Green Nori Flakes dipped in Chili Bean Sriratcha Sauce, the "Angry Chicken" which is fast gaining a following, the must-try Kani Salad, and the Grilled Salmon fillet, seasoned with lemongrass rub and served with curry lentils and Coriander yogurt sauce. 

A Buddha-Bar Manila gastronomic experience is never complete without a fill of its signature desserts like the sinfully delicious chocolate confection dubbed as Fever, the good old Heart of Darkness, and two Black Sesame variations namely the Black Sesame Baked Alaska and the Black Sesame Cheesecake.

To keep abreast with worldwide food trends, Buddha-Bar Manila values the importance of joining international gastronomic festivals like the annual European Culinary Season. 

Forever on the look-out for exciting, new ways to satisfy the palate, Chef Soc Santos, Buddha-Bar Manila’s Executive Chef, has prepared the First Quarter of 2015 Chef’s Special consisting of Ebi Cheese Maki, Broiled Jumbo Tiger Prawns, Roasted Black Cod with Eel Sauce, Banana Wrapped Lapu Lapu, Grilled Marinated US Skirt Steak, Thai Barbecue Chicken, best topped off by with Baked Black Sesame Ice Cream.
