Discover the Exquisite Delights of Mott 32 Cebu: A Sensory Feast
Mott 32, the renowned Hong Kong favorite, has taken Cebu by storm with its extraordinary culinary creations. Despite missing out on the initial wave of excitement due to the pandemic, I finally had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional restaurant during my recent visit to Cebu. And let me tell you, Mott 32 lives up to every bit of its well-deserved reputation.
Upon entering the restaurant, you are immediately greeted by the warm smiles of their lovely Cebuanas and a breathtaking view of the Cebu-Cordova Bridge. The floor-to-ceiling glass walls allow guests to savor the meticulously crafted menu while enjoying the picturesque vista. For an even more immersive experience, head to their deck and marvel at the view while sipping on a delectable drink from their stunning bar, which is practically made for Instagram.
However, the real star of Mott 32 is undoubtedly the food itself. Stripped of all the ambiance, the dishes alone are worth journeying to Cebu for. Although the xiao long bao is exceptional, it is the siomai that truly steals the show. This isn’t your ordinary siomai─the luxurious touch of truffle elevates it to a whole new level. And just when you think it couldn’t get any more exciting, a burst of quail egg surprises your taste buds with every bite.
Chinese cuisine is often dominated by pork, but Mott 32 offers a delightful alternative with their crispy air-dried black Angus beef. Tender, thinly-sliced beef that is crispy, savory, and subtly sweet─it’s a symphony of flavors that will leave you craving more. Executive Chef Lee Man Sing’s meticulous preparation and marination process truly shines in this dish.
While the aforementioned dishes are exceptional, they merely prepare your palate for the main event: the lobster. The wok-fried whole lobster with crispy potato, salt & pepper may not be deemed “the epitome of gourmet artistry” in my opinion, but it is undoubtedly the pinnacle of gastronomic indulgence. Each succulent bite of lobster transports you to culinary heaven. Pair it with a fine red wine or perhaps indulge in the aromatic Macallan 25─the perfect accompaniment to this exceptional dish.
Another delicacy that shouldn’t be overlooked is the abalone. This elegant appetizer sets the stage for the main course, captivating your senses and leaving you longing for more. And speaking of the main course, the duck is an absolute must-try. As Mott 32’s signature dish, the succulent meat-to-fat ratio and its glistening, crispy skin speak volumes about its culinary prowess. The meticulously roasted duck is served with an assortment of accompaniments, including freshly steamed pancakes, crunchy cucumber, scallions, raw cane sugar, fresh garlic sauce, and house-made thick hoisin sauce. Every element is carefully selected and prepared to enhance the flavors of the Peking duck, elevating the dish to unparalleled levels of indulgence.
In terms of dining experiences, Cebu has truly outdone Manila with the arrival of Mott 32. This extraordinary restaurant has cemented its position as one of the world’s finest dining establishments since its inception in Hong Kong in 2014. Now, it has expanded its culinary empire to Las Vegas, Vancouver, Dubai, Seoul, Singapore, and Bangkok. And fortunately for us, Cebu can now be added to that list!
So, when you find yourself in the vicinity of the Visayas once again, be sure to include Mott 32 in your itinerary. The experience may come with a hefty price tag, but I assure you that it is worth every penny. Treat yourself to a sensory feast that will leave an indelible impression on your taste buds and create memories that will last a lifetime.
