Chef Moi Marcampo |
Recently, they
have added pasta in their menu with the assistance of Moi Marcampo, better known as “Elena“ in the movie KIMIDORA. As you
know the lady is an accomplished chef having studied at the Academy of
International Culinary Arts (AICA).
One of her
specialty is “Hatima” pasta, a Filipinized version of puttanesca, which is a
MUST try. According to her, it’s a favorite of the stars in ABS-CBN. “Armida”,
is their version of vongole with local clams as the star of the pasta and
“Conchita” is Moi’s version of Tuna pesto with seared tuna.

"Caridad" |
Another one of her
creations is the “Caridad” spring rolls with tinapa, a dish that would appeal to
the majority with its tasty mix. When dipped in its sauce, the spring rolls take on another personality. The dish can be eaten like finger food or as a
meal with rice.
Chef Moi knows she
created a good dish, when it passes the taste-test of her picky-eater boss, actor
Piolo Pascual. When asked wha’s her
favorite ingredient, the one she can’t do without, she answers simply, “olive
oil”
The place evokes
an old world feel of a stately mansion of Manila’s yesteryears with its old
wood wall cladding, accentuated with mother of pearl and mirror tile mosaic. The restaurant is accentuated with elegant
mirrors of the same pattern that is continued into the bar area. This old-feel
but modern and contemporary style design was created by Jim Tan, OMA’s interior
designer.
OMA Restaurant and Bar is located at Ortigas Home Depot Foodstreet, Julia
Vargas Avenue, Pasig City. For reservations, please call (02) 661 6714. Watch out for their Tagaytay branch starting in
October.
