Manila, Luzon Jul 1, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - This July, Waterside at Solaire Resort Entertainment City transports guests to the sun-drenched shores of the Iberian Peninsula, where centuries of maritime heritage, vibrant coastal cultures, and a passion for convivial dining have shaped some of Southwestern Europe's most celebrated cuisines. As part of its ongoing Eat Around the World series, Waterside invites guests on an immersive culinary journey through Spain and Portugal—two neighboring nations united by their love of fresh ingredients, rustic recipes, and leisurely meals shared among family and friends. The result is a dining experience that captures the spirit of Mediterranean summers and the charm of seaside villages stretching from Lisbon to Barcelona.
The gastronomic adventure begins with Pulpo a la Gallega, Galicia's iconic octopus dish served with delectably crisp potatoes, creamy aioli, and paprika. Spanish beloved classics such as tapas and puchero share the spotlight with Portuguese favorites including flame-grilled Piri-Piri Chicken, Leitão no Forno, a succulent slow-roasted suckling pig with crisp golden skin, and Cataplana, a fragrant seafood stew named after the traditional clam-shaped copper vessel in which it is cooked.
At the heart of the experience is a bespoke dining concept that allows guests to curate their own Iberian feast. Guests may choose between Spain's signature rice preparation, prized for its firm texture, or Portugal's softer, velvety-style rice, paired with premium proteins and expertly prepared accompaniments. Signature highlights include Spanish Paella de Chuletón, featuring premium cuts of meat layered with rich flavors, and Arroz de Mariscos, Portugal's beloved seafood rice simmered in a robust tomato-infused broth.
To end on a sweet note, guests can indulge in Iberia’s most cherished desserts. Spain's Crema Catalana offers a creamy, orange-infused custard beneath a caramelized sugar crust, freshly torched before serving. Meanwhile, Portugal's iconic Pastel de Nata features delicate layers of buttery, flaky pastry filled with silky custard and lightly dusted with sugar and cinnamon—a timeless sweet treat best savored slowly.
Beyond the table, Eat Around the World transforms every visit into a journey of discovery. Guests can collect stamps through their Waterside Passport or Plane Ticket Card for each monthly destination visited, earning a chance to qualify for the year-end grand raffle featuring exclusive dining, leisure, and luxury experiences.
Adding to the excitement of July, Waterside hosts live FIFA World Cup™ screenings throughout the tournament's final weeks, creating an exhilarating atmosphere where exceptional cuisine, premium beverages, and football's most anticipated moments come together.
More than a meal, Waterside's July showcase is an invitation to savor the flavors, traditions, and coastal spirit of Spain and Portugal, while embracing the anticipation of the world's biggest sporting stage. It is yet another example of Solaire Resort Entertainment City's commitment to creating unique and unforgettable experiences where culture, cuisine, and celebration converge.
