Filipino food is simple yet comforting, a concept that celebrity chef Myke “Tatung” Sarthou beautifully captures in his latest venture—Tindeli. Nestled in the heart of Quezon City, Tindeli is a three-in-one spot that combines the charm of a cafe, the allure of a deli, and the nostalgia of a pasalubong shop.
A Fusion of Filipino Sari-Sari and Western Deli
Chef Tatung draws inspiration from an unexpected fusion—the traditional Filipino sari-sari stores and the upscale Western delicatessen. The result? Tindeli, a culinary gem located at Gateway 2’s Palenque, where Filipino cuisine takes center stage.
In contrast to Chef Tatung’s premier restaurants, Tindeli offers a cozy atmosphere perfect for family gatherings. The warm interiors, adorned with the intricate solihiya patterns on the walls, coupled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm pan de sal, create a homey feel. Chef Tatung envisions Tindeli as a place to return to—a habit, not just a one-time indulgence.
A Decade in the Making: Tindeli’s Evolution
The concept for Tindeli has been a decade in the making, revolving around Chef Tatung’s “Simpol” Filipino food philosophy. The complexity arises from the challenge of creating Filipino-style charcuterie with elevated flavors. The deli section boasts homemade, wood-smoked bacon, longganisa, sausages, chorizo, and other delectable cold cuts.
Tantalizing Tastes of Smokey Java Ribs
Meat lovers can savor the Filipino-style Smokey Java Ribs, offering the perfect blend of sweetness and smokiness. Never miss their Chicken Galentina on to have the full Tendeli experience.
Elevating Filipino Breakfast Classic with Tindesal
For an extraordinary experience, try the Tindesal—a modern twist on the classic pan de sal sandwich. Options like Cheesy Chicken Salad Melt, Tindeli Pride Chicken, Galantina, and Christmas Jamon showcase Chef Tatung’s culinary prowess.
Sweet Endings: Desserts to Delight Your Palate
Cap off your Tindeli experience with delightful desserts, including chocnut delight, purple yam, almond sansrival, strawberry shortcake, carrot cake, or cassava cheesecake. Each sweet treat is a testament to Chef Tatung’s commitment to capturing the essence of Filipino flavors.
Pasalubong Delights: Bringing Home the Warmth
No visit to Tindeli is complete without exploring the pasalubong stall. From breads to pastries and snacks, take a piece of Tindeli with you. Share the warmth of home with ensaimada, lengua de gato, lengua de gato ube, peanut brittle, and more.
Tindeli By Chef Tatung is conveniently located at Palenque, Upper Ground B, Gateway 2, 255 General Araneta, Cubao, Quezon City. Immerse yourself in the flavors of Filipino comfort food, expertly crafted by Chef Tatung. Your culinary journey awaits at Tindeli!
