Two years of largely canceled events and gatherings with loved ones means more families are gearing up to host holiday guests for the first time in a while. Once again, the rush and busyness are back, but Tivoli Royale Country Club’s gift ideas will take out the hassle and worries of gift-giving. 

Baked treats to Gourmet Hampers

Executive Chef Jonnel Roxas puts on the spotlight Holiday favorites with sweet treats as the beginning. The ideal gift for the little ones and sweet-toothed adults, order the 6 pcs of assorted gourmet cookies in green tea matcha, dark chocolate truffle, and cashew peanut butter for only P250. The homemade almond banana bread (P250) is also a great addition, especially for its perfect balance of sweetness, moisture, and density. Add as well a taste of Italy with Panettone Bread (Php300), notable for its dome shape, and buttery texture, soaked in brandy and then studded with candied citrus peels. For someone who loves to try a bit of everything and something for families,  the Premium Hamper (Php2,000) is filled with bread and cookies, bottled gourmet treats from classic pesto, homemade bagoong, chili garlic sauce, herb garlic cream cheese, and anchovies in olive oil. 

Party-Ready Platters and Set Meals 

Share comfort and joy this Holiday Season with Chef Jonnel’s party-ready set meals and carefully selected home-cooked dishes. Good for 5 to 6 persons with four options for only P4,500, selections are nothing short of familiar, straightforward and even kids will love them.  The must-try for the takeaway bundle is the Gourmet Feels, with pot roast beef with wild mushrooms as the star of this festive package. Inclusive as well are the zesty lemon chicken, classic carbonara, leek potato gratin, steamed rice, and the classic creme brulee. Hearty and filling, this is ideal for meat lovers with intimate get-togethers at home. 

Homecooked goodness has always been Tivoli Royale’s best-sellers and a great option for parties and family gatherings, everyone guaranteed on your holiday table will love it. Make “Buchon” Pork belly  (P1,400/kg) as your centerpiece with all the flavor and crunch that your guests crave. If something is slow-cooked and reminiscent of grandma’s cooking, Callos alla Madrileña (Php800) is a soul-warming dish with Spanish origins. Chicken lovers will surely rave about the highly-rated Chicken Inasal with Java Rice (Php600), which is a major upgrade from fast food versions in terms of taste, texture, and portion size. For pescetarians, the Blue Fin Tuna and Kani Baked Sushi (Php950)doesn’t scrimp on ingredients as it’s generously spread with garlic cream cheese in between instead of the usual mayonnaise.
