“Metro Home” hosts Anton Barretto and Jessica Kienle Maxwell relish the exquisite flavors of Spanish cuisine offered in one of the hottest restaurants outside the metro, Asador Alfonso, in a special episode airing on Metro Channel this Saturday (August 17), 7pm.
Anton and Jessica will give viewers a taste of the resto’s mouthwatering dishes such as carabinero, roasted lamb, and jamon, and one of its delectable desserts Flan de Teresa.
Initially a private family vacation house located at Lava Rock in Alfonso, Cavite, the restaurant was built through the partnership of contemporary architect Carlo Calma and Chef Chele Gonzalez with their vision of bringing people closer to nature.
During the pandemic, Carlo and Chele thought of putting up a simple dining place for their family and friends, but it was eventually transformed into a restaurant when they brought a roasting oven from Spain.
Aside from its fine dining offering, the place also boasts a volcanic-inspired modern architecture that emulates a feel of destination away from one’s own home. It includes walk-through villas, a pool area, and also serves as a temporary shelter for migratory birds.
Witness the architectural wonder and get a taste of the fine, traditional Spanish cuisine in “Metro Home Specials: Asador Alfonso” this Saturday (Aug. 17), 7pm. Metro Channel is available on Sky Cable channel 52 (SD) and channel 174 (HD), Cignal channel 69, and GSAT channel 70.
