Glitzy Night at The Penthouse 8747

Lettuce Says,
Cheers!
The Penthouse

An invitation for a night of good food and great drinks from Zomato PH led us 22 floors above ground to The Penthouse 8747. The name came literally from the location which is penthouse and the address of the building, 8747. 

There's The Penthouse! Yellow lights above the LEPANTO signage!
The Penthouse 8747 is located at the roof deck of the Lepanto Building along Paseo De Roxas Avenue, right across the Ayala Triangle Gardens. 

Marbled walls adorned this short flight of stairs from the 21st floor
The Great Gatsby Vibe
The Glitzy Gatsby Grandeur
Upon entry, you will be greeted by warm hello's and golden trimmings that scream, welcome to the '30s of The Great Gatsby.  I love the glitzy glamour vibe that exudes elegance and style. They do not have a strict dress code, just the usual no shorts no slippers policy, but hey it's sometimes great to dress up once in a while, right? But for after work drinks, our office getup and mood will be mighty fine.

I particularly like their long plush couches. Imagine the fun and laughter you and your friends may share within its cozy confines.


Long Seats for the whole crew
And do not forget to breathe in the panoramic view of Makati just beyond your cocktails view.

Yay! Full Bar!
On to the FOOD

Ms. May Yao, The Penthouse's Marketing Officer, warmly welcomed us that night. Executive Chef Mischa Okina went out of her way, presented the array of bestsellers and patiently answered all the foodie questions we had.
The Food Spread
Golden Crab Cakes (PhP 470)
These golden crab cakes were made from fresh blue crab meat with sriracha remoulade sauce. The generous crab meat packed a full flavor that's a bit on the heavy side, a great appetizer for sharing.


Look at all those crab meat!
Mahi Kilawin
Mahi Kilawin, fresh raw Mahi Mahi fish in vinegar with shallots, bell pepper and cranberry coulis. This is one of their new appetizers which I know will be a big hit. I love how the sweet rawness of the fish was in contrast with the vinegar and tartness of the coulis.


Italian Sausage and Prosciutto Flatbread
Yummy Flatbread
Prosciutto, arugula and good quality bread will make me happy, so this flatbread had it all and more. It's light and tasty, a great finger food for conversations.


Pulled Pork Bun
Pulled pork bun, pulled pork with asian barbeque sauce with sour cream and salsa on mantao, served with fries. The pulled pork was so flavorful, stringy yet tender, yummy!
Great Mac and Cheese
This one was the least favorite of the group, it had a lot of cheese but still on the bland side for a mac and cheese dish.

Seared Tuna with Zesty Risoni
The tuna had a nice sear on it with furikake (japanese seasoning) and black sesame breading. This went well with the risotto style risoni (which is a type of pasta shaped like rice) with olives, tomatoes and spinach.

The Zesty Risoni
Steak and Sides (PhP 1150)
The steak was a 300g Margarette Rivers, served with creamed corn and fries as sides. I love the steak and its simple rub of salt and freshly cracked pepper, best eaten as soon as served, it may become a bit tough after getting cold.


300 g Steak
Cheesecake Ala Misch (PhP230)
Chef Mischa shared this blueberry cheesecake which was a recipe passed on within their family of great cooks and chefs.

On to the Drinks
