Treat your partner to a romantic meal to remember this Valentine's Day 2024

Find your way to Haliya this Valentine’s Day, located at the lobby level of City of Dreams Manila’s Nuwa Manila, which recently earned its seventh five-star rating at the 2024 Forbes Travel Guide Awards. The integrated resort’s modern Filipino restaurant is an ideal date night venue for couples this year. Treat that special someone to a beautifully crafted four-course Valentine’s Day set menu featuring Haliya's signature re-imagined take on Filipino cuisine. 

To warm up the palate, begin the night with juicy, plump prawns and snow crab, with pickled watermelon, avocado cream, pomelo caviar, baby radish, red amaranth, beetroot powder, and cucumber consommé. Move on to a mushroom krema soup with smoked chicken ragout, truffle ricotta, micro cress, pomme soufflé, button mushroom carpaccio, and malunggay snow. For the third course, Haliya presents a succulent beef tenderloin cooked to perfection with caramelised saba banana, potato and chickpea puree, baby carrots, white onion emulsion, green oil, and red wine jus.
