FIGARO Launches Three New Delectable Dishes
June 28, 2009Peter and I have always been huge fans of Figaro’s specialty pasta dishes particularly their Classic Chorizo and Pasta a la Carlo. So it was a very pleasant surprise when we got invited to the launch of their three new delectable dishes. We couldn’t wait to see and taste for ourselves their new offering.
We were very excited that we arrived at 10 AM that morning, an hour early than what was scheduled. Well, SLEX traffic is unpredictable these days so better leave the house early than be late for an appointment right? At least we had a little time to ourselves as we enjoyed their coffee and iced tea and as Peter helped me calm my nerves for that afternoon’s QTV interview. Teehee.
As we were waiting for the event to start, we also got the chance to meet and talk to Peter’s former i.ph colleague, Mico Marco who was also covering the event for ABS-CBN, and Figaro’s Marketing Manager, the very amiable Mr. Ace Azarraga. Mico and Ace happen to be very active frisbee players and I might just take them up on their offer to play frisbee one of these days. Hehehe.

With its goal of providing variety of new products to its food choices, the Filipino-owned corporation Figaro Coffee Systems, Inc. today introduces three new delectable dishes to satisfy a broader spectrum of customers.
The three mouth-watering dishes are:
Dory Provencal, a pan-fried cream dory fish-fillet infused in zesty Provencal sauce;
Sweet Coffee Porkchop, luscious coffee sauce made of freshly brewed coffee poured over to savory slice of porkchop;
and the Tuscan Chicken, a hearty Italian inspired grilled chicken seasoned with selected herbs and spices topped with Provencal sauce.
“We want to introduce new dishes to our customers that are distinctly Figaro in taste. Like our Sweet Coffee Porkchop, we ensure that our freshly brewed House Reserved coffee will be used to create the perfect flavour and color to our porkchop,” said Chef Karl Tan of Figaro.
All for P199, you can now enjoy each of these dishes together with a pasta of your choice (Arrabbiata, Al Tonno, Carbonara, Classic Chorizo and Pesto), Green Salad and a choice of 12oz. Iced Tea or 12oz. Iced Coffee.
Apart from keeping a critical eye on broadening its niche market, Figaro also aims to be recognized not for introducing affordable specialty roasted local coffee varieties and various coffee-related paraphernalia but also great-tasting food.
“We at Figaro do not only keep a critical eye on expansion plans for our market. We also take our time out to know what would best satisfy our customers, even those with discriminating tastes. Figaro is up for the challenge of innovation and satisfying the needs and pocket of our customers because we feel that they should be getting their money’s worth,” said Ace L. Azarraga, Marketing Manager of Figaro Coffee Systems, Inc.
Established in 1993, Figaro is a 100-percent Filipino-owned company whose product lines include specialty roasted local coffee varieties and various sandwiches, pizza, pasta and more. It has about 65 outlets nationwide, most of which are in Luzon. (30)
