Mediterraneo Ultimo: Way to a Happy, Healthy Dads Day

MANILA, Philippines - A region so vast, the Mediterranean encompasses  Morocco,  Greece, Turkey, Israel, Spain, France and Italy thus melding a cuisine of unsurpassed textures and flavors.  Interestingly,  albeit not surprisingly,   its claim to fame rests on its reputation as one of the world’s healthiest. Epidemiological studies show that Mediterraneans suffer less heart disease than people from northern Europe.  Nutritionists attest that the typical Mediterranean diet reduces fat and increases the level of natural antioxidants such as Vitamin C and E, significant risk reducers of heart attacks.

This Father’s Day, the healthiest way to Dad’s heart is through his stomach if you treat him to the nutritious array of  DADS Mediterranean buffet festival, an abundance of foods from plant sources, beans and grains, cooked with olive oil, the cuisine’s prime ingredient and whose health effects benefit the heart, kidney, gall bladder and the digestive system.

Rich and exquisite, the various festival  dishes showcase the vibrant culinary regions that surround the Mediterranean sea from appetizers to desserts: Ottoman mussels, oven baked cheese mussels, chicken gyro wrap, chicken wrapped in soft tortilla served with four kinds of sauces, porchetta balsamico, grilled pork belly in basil, garlic and olive oil, souvlaki chicken, charbroiled skewered boneless chicken thighs, poseidon seafood bundles, poached asparagus bundle wrapped in fish fillet, souvlaki vegetables, charbroiled skewered mixed vegetables, moussaka, eggplant lasagna, horiatiki salad, Greek salad, Mediterranean cake, chocolate sponge cake with butter cream filling, Medea’s Mud Pie, delectably moist brownie topped with chocofudge and whipped cream, plus the all time favorite DADS classics, roast beef, turkey, ham, paella, callos, lengua, pastas, salads, and more.
