The Michelin Guide Hotel - Manila Marriot Hotel at Newport World Resorts bags for the sixth time the overall championship title at the recently concluded 2025 Philippine Culinary Cup (PCC) held at SMX in Paranaque City on August 9, besting over 11 hotels in the country. From the first five overall championship wins in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2023 and 2024 to this year’s victory is a clear testament to the culture of excellence of Manila Marriott.
2025 marks the 25th year of World Food Expo (WOFEX) and the 15th
year of the PCC, the country’s most prestigious Culinary Arts competition.
“This fresh win at the PCC is a proof to our commitment to providing extraordinary service through excellence in Culinary Arts. Kudos to my team whose dedication to provide delectable pieces of experience, anchored on the principle of putting people first by caring for our guests and fellow associates through exemplar food & beverage product and service,” says Meik Brammer, Manila Marriott Hotel Director of Culinary.
Adding luster to this year’s triumph is Manila Marriott’s very own Chef de Partie Jan Richard Hubilla bringing home the “Best Chef” award. Hubilla collectively won eight medals from different categories of the competition which made him rightfully earn the said title.
The award-winning culinary team garnered a total of 29 medals, a huge leap from last year’s 17 medals: Two highest golds for Amuse Bouche and US Beef categories; 10 silvers for Canada Land & Sea, US Pork, Creative Breakfast, Poultry, Wedding Cake, Dress the Cake, US Lamb; and 17 bronzes for Young Chef Challenge, Dream Team Challenge, Banquet US Beef, US Pork, Pastry, Asian Gourmet, Sous Vide, Pizza Challenge, Bent Box, IN-Room-Dining, Canada Beef, Chocolate Showpiece, Filipino Cuisine, Modern Filipino Dessert, and Pastry Sugar Showpiece.
Upholding the commitment
to provide wonderful hospitality, and embracing the pivotal role that Culinary Arts
plays in achieving a holistic experience, Brammer further added, “these latest
accolades cement our passion to bring to the table wonderful and personalized dining
experience for our guests, a showcase on how we give the support and
opportunity to further the talents and skills of Manila Marriott Hotel at
Newport World Resorts’s Culinary Arts Powerhouse, thus paving the way for more winning
moments, thereby serving as a driving force to challenge ourselves to further innovate
and elevate our capabilities, so that we can continue to make our guests see, feel,
taste and remember something wonderful.”
