A 40-year old veteran who has been in the culinary industry for 16 years now, Chef Garelito “Gary” Landicho joined Seda Atria as the new Executive Sous Chef last September 2018.
Chef Gary is native of Bacolod, but grew up and studied in Manila. He developed his culinary expertise through 16 years of experience working on various cruise ships. He was the Sous Chef of Disney Cruise Line for 5 years before coming home and joining the hospitality industry for the first time as the Executive Sous Chef for Seda Atria. Traveling and exposure to diverse local and international fare has enabled Chef Gary to nurture his love for food while honing his culinary skills.
Chef Gary’s cooking style is defined by the use of fresh ingredients to create a seamless fusion of Western and Asian culture.
He is set to introduce new mouth-watering dishes at Misto. These recipes were inspired by his travels to different countries but feature a unique Ilonggo twist using fresh seasonal ingredients.
- SEAFOOD BOUILLABAISSE – Sautéed mix sea foods in white wine, garlic, annatto oil and mixed vegetables, served with garlic bread.
- OSSO BUCCO – Cross-cut veal shanks braised with vegetables, white wine and broth served with specialized risotto with local spice Kalawag.
- TOURNEDOS ROSSINI – Grilled Beef Medallion and king prawns with turn vegetables glazed with red wine sauce served with mashed potato.
With exceptional skills in a wide range of cuisines and kitchen management, Chef Gary will be introducing exciting additions to the hotel’s menu while improving food & beverage operations. Needless to say, he is also very excited to share his love for food with the residents of Iloilo and its visitors.
