Recess by Chef Chris

By May 28, 2014 Foodie No Comments

It’s so nice to see Chef Chris now closer to us in the city particularly in Makati.  The original is now more accessible.  Recess opened quietly a few months back and now they are in full swing including breakfast

I was so happy to see Scott Tan, part owner of Recess.  This was one of the secret projects of Scott when I was talking to him about a year ago and now it’s finally opened 🙂  This young bachelor is such a great businessman!  Everytime I see him I ask jim what’s new and true enough he is always cooking up something.  Scott is only 31 years old and he is so successful.  When I first met him in November 2012, he had 30 Bon Chons, now he has 78!  He;s opening his 2d and 3rd Ginza Bairin in a few months and has something new coming up in November.  Secret again for now but I am so excited.  Congratulations Scott!! and More Power!  

Scott told me that he and his partners in this venture were school mates and their favourite part of the day was Recess 🙂

Good thing there is parking!!! It’s always so hard to park in Jupiter street, so having parking available is so valuable

I feel young when I am eating here because it feels like you are in school 🙂
