Committed to elevating gastronomic experiences, the luxury hotel by the iconic Manila Bay welcomes new leaders set to introduce fresh and innovative dining concepts.

Conrad Manila is delighted to welcome distinguished additions to its culinary leadership team: Vikram Singh as Indian Chef and Jaquelyn Sunderarajo as Director of Food and Beverage. With their extensive experience and refined expertise, guests can anticipate elevated offerings and thoughtfully curated culinary experiences across the hotel’s signature dining venues.

“It is with great pleasure that we welcome new reinforcements to the culinary powerhouse of Conrad Manila,” said Rupert Hallam, general manager of the hotel. “We began the year with exceptional dining experiences, and guests can look forward to even more remarkable moments in the months ahead, especially as we celebrate our 10th anniversary, with Jaquelyn’s strategic direction and Chef Vikram’s passion for authentic cuisine.”

Sunderarajo brings with her over 15 years of experience in luxury hospitality, having held leadership roles across some of Singapore’s most well-known hotel brands. Prior to joining Conrad Manila, she led one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most complex food and beverage operations at Hilton Singapore Orchard. She is recognized for driving guest satisfaction, delivering strong commercial performance, and fostering high-performing teams, alongside introducing innovative and compelling dining concepts.

Singh, meanwhile, offers a uniquely inspiring journey into the culinary arts, having spent nearly two decades in the corporate world before pursuing his true passion. Guided by his mother’s culinary heritage, he undertook formal training in international cuisine before deepening his expertise in North Indian gastronomy under her mentorship, continuing a rich family legacy. Today, he is dedicated to showcasing traditional and often lesser-known North Indian cuisines, such as mughlai and awadhi, while preserving their authenticity through the thoughtful use of seasonal ingredients.

Together with Conrad Manila’s Executive Chef and its award-winning culinary team, they have already begun introducing exceptional dining concepts that continue to captivate epicureans and hotel guests alike.

Victorian Garden Party

The journey begins on a calm and elegant note at the Victorian Garden Party. Guests are treated to delicate creations such as lemon madeleines with a gentle citrus finish, smooth and delicately balanced vanilla mousse domes, and pocket watch cookies, a charming nod to the White Rabbit and his ever-present sense of time.

Mad Tea Party

At the Mad Tea Party, flavors take an unexpected turn. This station plays with contrast and creativity, featuring dulce pot de crème offering a smooth contrast of sweetness and depth, mango honey cake that seamlessly blends bright fruitiness with a soft, lingering richness in a way that feels delightfully unexpected yet thoughtfully composed, and pistachio sphere, a fitting emblem of the Mad Tea Party itself.

Down the Rabbit Hole

Adventurers can savor a surprising balance of flavors Down the Rabbit Hole. The spread includes miso caramel brownies, an out-of-ordinary mix of sweet and savory, rich and smoky maple bacon cupcakes. At the heart of it all stands a white rabbit-inspired chocolate confection, as guests descend together into Wonderland with every bite.

The Red Queen’s Court

Chocolate takes center stage at The Red Queen’s Court. Highlights include handcrafted pralines, a flowing chocolate fountain, and rose-inspired chocolate creations designed to delight both the palate and the senses. The crowning centerpiece is a striking chocolate creation of the Red Queen’s head.

Frabjous (Savory Interlude)

Before returning to sweeter notes, guests can pause at Frabjous, a savory and tea-inspired interlude with hot and cold selections. Offerings include warm and velvety smoked tomato cappuccino, golden and hearty Frabjous sausage roll, decadent Earl Grey tea cake, fresh and vibrant caterpillar garden roll, and delicate yet rich Red Queen salmon blinis, providing warmth, balance, and a gentle reset for the palate.

Pool of Tears

For those seeking lighter options, the Pool of Tears presents thoughtfully composed desserts such as sugar-free mango cheesecake and mixed berry chia pudding. At this chapter, guests can also try “Drink Me” flavored shooters and “Eat Me” chiffon cakes.

White Queen’s Coronation and The Escape

The experience concludes with The Escape, where warm and familiar flavors await. Guests can enjoy chocolate babka, cromboloni, and a striking doughnut wall, both visually impressive and deeply satisfying.
