Available every Monday to Saturday starting at 10:30 pm to 1:00 am, diners can indulge in round after round of all-you-can-eat "pica-pica" for only P 499 per person guaranteed to satisfy any late-night cravings and enjoy live entertainment too. So come on in and unwind, and experience yet another flavorful facet of Corniche...
After the lunch and dinner service for the on-going Rediscover Flavors of the Archipelago by Chef Myke "Tatung" Sarthou featuring local and regional dishes alongside the international buffet spread (find out more on my previous post, Local Cuisine in the Spotlight: Rediscover Flavors of the Archipelago by Chef Myke "Tatung" Sarthou at Corniche in Diamond Hotel ), Corniche takes on a whole different character as the lights are dimmed for Nightcap at Corniche. A stage is set up for intimate live performances behind the central bar to accompany your late night fare of sumptuous bites and cocktails.
The team at Corniche preps the station (where you usually get your cheese, charcuterie, salad and seafood) with the hearty and comforting late night offerings...
...including steaming hot Goto or arroz caldo, a savory local rice porridge simmered with a variety of meats, ginger and scallions...
...with all the trimmings you need for that perfect soothing bowl like calamansi, soy sauce, fish sauce, scallions and leeks and crisp garlic chips. Each spoonful just warms both the palate and your weary body, just what you need on a late night.
You can easily customize your bowl of local porridge to your liking at the station. Pair your bowl of Goto with the crunchy Tofu Sticks with a tart vinegar soy dip for that perfect late night match. And a cold beer.
If you prefer lighter fare, Nightcap at Corniche has that covered too with their "pica-pica" selections. That evening, the chefs at Corniche laid out a tempting spread including fresh Vegetable Sticks...
...and savory bites like Garlic Mushrooms. The deep nutty notes of mushrooms are perfectly complemented by hints of butter and the bold flavors of garlic bits and you'll want seconds and thirds. And maybe another beer.
The Teriyaki Squid is another must-try at Nightcap at Corniche. Perfectly grilled and glazed with a thick and sweet sauce, the squid is fork-tender delivering a rich briny sweetness. Masterful execution combined with the freshest ingredients, Corniche continues to impress way past dinner.
The station is regularly replenished, so take your time and enjoy your late-night feast at Corniche at your own unhurried pace.
Fresh from the ovens, the Emmentaler Tart combines the buttery richness and mildly fruity hints of premium Emmental cheese with the light, flaky and equally buttery pastry for even more tasty options at Nightcap at Corniche.
The Asian-inspired crisp deep-fried Tofu Pocket with a thick and sweet sauce offers rich flavors without the guilt for a vegetarian option. Each bite brings a delectable textural play with the subtle crunch of the deep-fried pocket and the soft tofu coming together seamlessly.
The Pulled Pork in Mini Mantou Bun is an inventive east-west fusion of tender pulled pork and coleslaw in a soft steamed bun, easily one of the popular options at Nightcap at Corniche.
It may look deceptively small, but going through a dozen of these Asian style sliders can be a meal in itself for those late nights. The savory richness and smoky notes of the pulled pork pair well with the fresh and tart flavors of the coleslaw capped by the pillow-soft steamed bun.
The variety of tasty offerings Corniche is known for continues after the usual dinner service with Nightcap at Corniche all the way until 1 am.
The Jewel by the Bay continues to shine even after sunset. Enjoy your late night feast with a live performance at Nightcap at Corniche in Diamond Hotel, and experience Corniche in a different and equally flavorful new light.
