From delectable classic makis to the most exceptional flavours, Red Kimono continues to bring together superb modern and traditional elements of Japanese cuisine. As it turns 5, they Go Red and celebrate big with one of this year’s most exciting culinary challenges!

What if you had a free hand to decide what goes in your maki? As part of discovering new possibilities and to highlight its famous sushi selection, Red Kimono, in partnership with Destiny Cable, Speedo, Nike Park, Mossimo, Sanuk and Curves salutes its 5^th year with the “My Maki Masterpiece Challenge”.

Participants are encouraged to think out of the box – using unusual ingredients and taking inspiration from any type of cuisine – not necessarily Japanese. Makis are very easy and fun to make so even people who have never cooked may enter the contest. There are no restrictions whatsoever except that it must be a “roll”.  

Participants were required to submit a recipe, a photo of the finished Maki and a title for it. From all entries received, 10 will be pre-selected, and on one special evening hosted by Issa Litton the 10 finalists will be brought down to the 5 best makis chosen based on each recipe’s taste, creativity and presentation.  6 prominent personalities namely, actress, model, entrepreneur and jewellery designer Tweetie De Leon Gonzales, Chairman of the Philippine Marketing Association Ricky De Vera, from Philippine Wine Merchants and Ralph Wines & Spirits and also a popular DJ on 99.5RT Rob Joseph, Cultural activist and artist/performer – Carlos Celdran, Dean of Enderun College – Dr. Edgardo Rodriguez and Head of ABS CBN Publishing Ernie Lopez, will decide the 5 winners of this exciting contest.

The 5 winning makis will earn a place in Red Kimono’s Maki Masterpiece menu and will receive P5,000 in cash and P5,000 in Gift Certificates from Red Kimono

What started as a vision back in 2005, Red Kimono now stands out as one of the most successful restaurant chains known for their great tasting food, high quality service and amazing value. ‘Red’ symbolizes the modern, Western and innovative qualities while ‘Kimono’ represents the Eastern and traditional aspects of the brand. With its remarkable success, Red Kimono has expanded over the years with seven branches across the metropolis, Cebu and Pampanga.

We all treated dad for his birthday last week!  This is one of the best Shang Palace dinners for me because we had dishes which we were not the usual and we had never ordered these dishes before.   Heart2Heart liked them all 🙂 Thanks to John for choosing the food! We had sweet and sour pork but this time with walnuts.  The cod fillets with barbeque sauce was really good and is one of my favorite now, we also had it when we had lunch with Tita Vivian ( Shang Palace with Tita Vivian and Tats Sept 10, 2010). The stir fried noodles was so good especially with the bagoong on the side!  And the Prawns which we normally have with mayo ( Prawns salad ) , this time was with orange sauce.  Yummy! 🙂

 And everyone wanted a photo with Dad/Dada! We all love him!
