Robinsons Signa
Residences welcomes boutique restaurants
October 06, 2014
Makati is the heart of business and commerce in the country,
and it is also the epicenter of the distinctive lifestyle trends today, among
which is the movement toward boutique restaurants and fine cuisine.
Soon, food connoisseurs will have more reason to lounge
around the quaint neighborhoods and districts in Makati with the opening of
three new upscale restaurants from some of the most innovative, young
entrepreneurs in the country.
These establishments were especially handpicked by Robinsons
Land Corporation in partnership with Security Land Corporation for the Signa
Designer Residences, one of the luxury high-rise condominiums in Salcedo
Village.
“Signa Designer Residences is the realization of living the
high life,” explained Robinsons Luxuria vice president for business development
Trina Cipriano. “These new restaurants
echo the spirit and vibe of Signa Designer Residences, and will be the
highlight of the residential building’s mixed-use ground floor retail strip.”
HEALTHY ‘SPROUT’
Erwan Heussaff, Stephen Ku, JP Hernandez, Joel Poniente and
Raymond Magdaluyo are the movers behind Mothership F and B Enterprise — the
company that will run Sprout, Sabao and Bait’s. The same group is also
responsible for the success of popular dining destinations Pink Panda, Hungry
Hound and Niner Ichi Nana.
Sprout will ride on the global health-consciousness wave
that has swept the country.
“The idea is to take restaurant food and offer it in the
convenient casual format,” said Heussaff.
Another novel concept is Sabao, a non-traditional sit-down
restaurant that will serve Filipino soups taken to a new level.
The idea for Sabao was derivative of the current ramen bar
boom. Hernandez mentions that this edgy take on soup will likely attract Asian
expats and visitors from Singapore or Hong Kong.
Bait’s, meanwhile, was borne out of a need to have a
restaurant that specializes in seafood — such as Lobster Houses of New England,
Clam Bakes of Seattle and Crab Shacks abroad.
The group envisions Bait’s to resemble the traditional New
England-meets-hip-San Francisco atmosphere.
A portion of the main dining area will be partitioned off at
night to become Lazyjack’s at Bait’s — a specialty bar where craft beers and
cocktails will be served to the after-office crowd.
