Mott 32 in Cebu: A Culinary Experience Like No Other
Cebu City – It has been almost a year since the world-renowned restaurant Mott 32 opened its doors in Cebu, and it continues to impress food enthusiasts with its succulent dishes and breathtaking views. Located near the Cebu-Cordova Bridge, Mott 32 offers a dining experience unlike any other in the city.
From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by friendly staff and a stunning view of the bridge and the sparkling waters below. The floor-to-ceiling glass walls allow guests to enjoy their meal while taking in the picturesque scenery. For a more elevated experience, the restaurant also has a deck where patrons can savor their dishes while enjoying a drink from the bar.
But it’s not just the ambiance that sets Mott 32 apart – it’s the food. The menu boasts a variety of delectable dishes that are sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate. One must-try item is the siu mai, a flavorful dim sum dish that is elevated with the addition of truffle and a surprise quail egg filling. Another standout is the crispy air-dried black Angus beef, a pork-free option that is thinly sliced, crispy, and bursting with flavor.
For seafood lovers, the wok-fried whole lobster with crispy potato, salt & pepper is a must-order. Each bite of the lobster is a testament to culinary perfection and pairs perfectly with a glass of red wine or a Macallan 25.
The restaurant’s signature dish is the Peking duck, which is prepared using both Cantonese and Beijing methods. The duck is roasted for 48 hours, resulting in a succulent meat-to-fat ratio and a crispy skin. It is served with freshly steamed pancakes, cucumber, scallions, raw cane sugar, garlic sauce, and house-made thick hoisin sauce. Each ingredient is carefully chosen to enhance the overall dining experience.
Mott 32 first opened its doors in Hong Kong in 2014 and has since expanded to several cities around the world, including Las Vegas, Vancouver, Dubai, Seoul, Singapore, and Bangkok. Now, Cebu can proudly join the ranks of these happening cities with its very own Mott 32.
Although Mott 32 is a bit pricey, the dining experience is truly worth it. So, the next time you find yourself in Cebu, be sure to include Mott 32 in your itinerary for a memorable culinary adventure.
