“Manila! You’ve been amazing!!! I absolutely loved my time in the Philippines to open @gordonramsaybarandgrillph! Can’t wait to come back soon!” Gordon wrote.

On January 19, diners at the world-renowned Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill PH were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime experience as they watched the celebrity chef walk into the restaurant. Guests were awe-struck when Gordon himself stopped at every table to chat and take photos.

The next day, the culinary expert reflected on his decades-long journey at Newport World Resorts Manila. At the highly anticipated event, he shared his delight over the success of his inaugural restaurant in the country, imparted valuable lessons and culinary tips, and hosted a mini “MasterChef” cooking challenge with fellow Filipino food content creators like Judy Ann Santos and Ninong Ry.

The Michelin-star chef also delighted Filipinos with a secret: He plans to open three more restaurants in the country, which earned a loud round of applause from the excited crowd.

Indeed, Gordon is a man full of energy! He wasted no time and surprised everyone with a collaboration with Filipino food content creator and “Lumpia Queen” Abi Marquez. Previously, he challenged the social media personality to put her own spin on Beef Wellington using a lumpia wrapper.

Of course, she is up for the challenge! Abi showed Gordon how it’s done—and the British chef absolutely LOVED it.

The fun is far from over! Who said that Gordon doesn’t know how to dance? Popular social media personalities Ranz Kyle and Niana Guerrero surprised everyone with a collaboration with the celebrity chef.
