The very first hotel in the Bonifacio Global City area, F1 Hotel Manila, continues to amp up its dining outlets in its effort to be one of the food destinations in Taguig City’s prime business hub, aside from offering better accommodation options.

This time, the hotel is adding more items to the menu of The Canary, its poolside bar and restaurant, which has been one of the places to unwind, especially when roof-deck bars became vogue. The new additions range from light snacks and bites to filling dishes. The updated menu is said to showcase the imagination of its culinary team led by its executive chef Billy Laigo.

A recommended snack or appetizer is a classic American comfort food but made handy and fun to eat — the Crispy Mac and Cheese Balls.

The creamy mac and cheese is formed into balls and then deep-fried with deep golden crust. The balls are crunchy on the outside and a little gooey on the inside. They are accompanied by a cheese dip for those who are fond of cheese.

Pizzas are also offered but in miniature, called Pizzettas, coming various toppings that include Margherita, Hawaiian, mushroom, and pepperoni. On the other hand, the charcuterie board presents an array of assorted cold cuts, cheeses, nuts and dried fruits, making it an ideal choice for sharing.
