"Asia’s Best Female Chef 2016 winner, Margarita “Gaita” Forés, is best known for her Italian concepts, like the Cibo restaurant chain and her luxurious restaurant Lusso. She marries her love of Italian and Filipino food at Grace Park, a farm-to-table restaurant that pioneered the use of local and organic ingredients such as capiz bihod (fish roe), diwal (angel wing clams), and adlay (Job’s tears) when it opened in 2013. The best-sellers include organic lechon, lamb adobo, and baby crab fat spaghettini." - Toni Potenciano
