PHILIPPINES.
Chef Jorge reimagines sinanglaw, a classic Ilocano beef stew, transforming it into a refined opening act. The tartness of kamias (bilimbi) cuts through the rich flavors, while the charred mayu (burnt garlic oil) ties the dish together with a subtle smokiness. This is a mini cup of both nostalgia and forward-thinking — a true reflection of Mōdan’s approach to food.

SNACKS. 
A trio of snacks comes next: a bite of creamy tamago mousse sandwiched between two delicate buckwheat crisps; a crunchy puff filled with foie gras mousse, kuromitsu (Japanese black sugar syrup), and shiitake mushrooms; and a piece of fresh scallop on a bed of tart hibiscus syrup with the aromatic zing of kaffir lime.

Snacks

BHUTAN
Inspired by Bhutanese cuisine, Chef Jorge crafted a dish that melds the smoky undertones of Bhutan’s dried beef by way of stuffed chicken wings served with a trio of dips with the tang of ume (Japanese plum) and yogurt. The result is a deeply umami dish that captures the mountain country’s culinary simplicity and complexity.

BHUTAN. It’s best to drag the chicken wing across the dips, making sure you get a good amount of each dip for maximum flavor.

BREAD COURSE.
The bread course, much like the previous menu, is a showstopper. It features a crusty brioche bun paired with ankimo (monkfish liver), often dubbed the foie gras of the sea. The briny pop of ikura (salmon roe) and the richness of a cured egg yolk bring balance and indulgence to every bite.

MYANMAR. 
Drawing inspiration from Myanmar’s love for bold, layered flavors, this dish features a combo of dishes: a light and crisp taro puff filled with oyster and a bowl of the most delicate somen noodles.

MYANMAR. A dollop of caviar on top of a crisp beet biscuit floating on a cloud of savory mousse adds a luxurious finish, capturing the complexity of Southeast Asian flavor profiles while giving it a distinct Mōdan finish.

MALAYSIA. 
Pandan, a fragrant staple in Malaysian desserts, finds a savory home in this course. Tender halibut is beautifully seared, resting on a bed of nutty farro with a coconut sauce that resembles the contrast and balance of yin and yang. Though it’s a quick bite, it’s definitely unforgettable.

(SOUTH) KOREA. 
This dish is a playful yet elegant take on a beloved Korean dish that’s best enjoyed when shared. Pieces of melt-in-your-mouth wagyu paired beautifully with the savory rice studded with chewy tteokbokki (rice cakes). Served in reverse with the crisped nurungji (scorched rice) on top, you get a better contrast of flavors and textures. I’m sure I’m not the only one who looks forward to Mōdan’s rice dish!

Korea

JAPAN. 
Mōdan’s finale is a delicate dessert that pays homage to Japan’s affection for tea. The nutty aroma of genmaicha (toasted rice tea) works so well with floral notes and the gentle sweetness of Muscat grapes. This is a dessert that feels like a tranquil Japanese garden of refreshing flavors; almost like a palate cleanser on steroids.

<p>After three much talked about omakase menus and experiences, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/modan.mnl/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mōdan</a> just released their <strong>‘Hit and Missed’ menu</strong><strong>—a collection of their greatest hits since they opened in 2022</strong>.

Each dish is like a passport stamp on your palate, offering a thoughtful exploration of Asian culinary identity through intricate presentations and bold flavors—something diners have come to expect since Mōdan opened.</p><p>Here’s a round up of the Global Asian Leg 2.0 menu.

But one thing’s for sure: Chef Jorge and his team will keep cooking with the same passion and creativity that keeps Mōdan on top of their game. </p><p>What we love the most about Mōdan is how it highlights the talents of visionary chef Jorge Miguel Mendez (who started his career with no less than the one and only Margarita Forés) and his belief in the power of storytelling through food. Each plate is a love letter to its country of origin, emphasizing the cultural and historical significance of its ingredients while pushing boundaries with modern techniques. </p><div><em>Check out Mōdan’s ‘Hit And Missed’ greatest hits menu, which is now available and will run until January 2025.
