LIMA
Park Hotel, the only four-star hotel in the province of Batangas and the best hotel
in the Philippines for families in the 2018 TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice
Awards, recently re-opened its in-house restaurant which is now known as Plum.
The newly-revised restaurant (formerly Asian Flavors) serves its own bevy of
Pan-Asian cuisine encompassing East and Southeast Asian fares and its interiors
sport minimalist zen-like designs, wooden finishings and monochromatic tones
which make it suitably Asian-inspired.
Though
I am impressed at the new look and feel of the place, the best thing about Plum
is its plummet of fresh and savory eats. Upon its grand re-opening so to speak,
several few including travel and lifestyle bloggers and those from local and
national media were able to try them all out. From what they have experienced,
I have chosen five interestingly intriguing dishes for you to plummet and try
when it is your turn to take a delve inside Plum.

These
handcrafted purple yam dumplings filled with shrimp, minced pork shoulder, pork
back fat and Asian-style seasonings are plum colored, obviously, in honor of
the restaurant's new name. They are served with ginger chips, green scallion
dip and sweet chili.
2. Plum's Batangas Bulalo
(Php690)
You
can't have a restaurant that offers Asian cuisine serving the finest Filipino
delicacies without its own style of Batangas bulalo, and Plum did not disappoint
with fork tender beef shank, bone marrow, bok choi, cabbage, carrots, potatoes
and green beans filling up the tenderly amazing soup bowl.

This
is one popular hybrid dish that anyone who visits Plum may not feel irritated
since it puts two of the most excitingly amazing fried noodle dishes in Asia
together. Japchae noodles garnishing well with dashi-infused shrimp and aligue
sauce are topped palabok-style with shrimp, tinapa flakes, chicharon, onion
leeks and fresh sliced kamias fruit.
4. Thai Beef Salad (Php360)
This
is not your ordinary Thai salad since it has perfectly-cooked grilled beef tenderloin
drizzled over a bed of market fresh greens, enoki mushrooms, baby tomatoes, cashews,
carrots, cucumber and fried shallots.
