The Home of Swiss Cuisine in Antipolo City
 |
| Vieux Chalet, Antipolo City's Gem |
Swiss-German
descent Tony S. Hassig lived in various parts of the globe, paraded the streets
with high-end vehicles like Jaguar, Harley Davies and Ferrari. Then he traded
his high-profile life when he fell in love to a Filipina named Susan. Their
loved blossomed that led to the opening of Vieux Chalet in 1984 in the area of
Villa Cristina in Antipolo, then after three years they moved to its present
location.
If the creation of Vieux Chalet was romantic, the view in this new location is breathtaking especially at night when the city lights are aglow, where you can see the runway of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, the skyline of Makati, the happening place at The Fort and even the towers of TV networks in Quezon City, all seen in a 180 degree sweeping motion.

| Homemade Shrimp Ravioli in Fresh Tomato Sauce |
Vieux Chalet offers Swiss cuisine, which is influenced by German, French and
Italian dishes. For an Italian inspired dish, enjoy a hefty serving of Homemade
Shrimp Ravioli in Fresh Tomato Sauce, this simple yet delightful dish is made
up of homemade ravioli, shrimps, fresh tomato sauce and topped with Parmesan
cheese. The ravioli has just the right firmness and the tomato sauce was
extremely rich and aromatic with the fusion of some fresh herbs.
 |
| Osso Bucco, a best seller at Vieux Chalet |
Another
pleasant dish, one which I can devour all by myself is Osso Bucco which I was
told was another bestseller (and should never be taken out of their menu). The Osso Bucco is made up of braised beef,
slow cooked until the meat is extremely tender and usually paired with Roesti
(also spelled as rosti – a Swiss dish similar to the American’s hush brown but
if Tony S. Hassig were alive, he would have berated you if you associate rosti
with hush browns).
 |
| Vieux Chalet's Cheese Fondue |
What
would a Swiss meal without fondue? A
classic Cheese Fondue is best made with Swiss cheeses like Gruyere and Emmenthal cheeses and spiked with some liquor and sprinkled with some freshly
ground pepper. Freshly made bread cut into cubes was a perfect combination to
the cheese fondue.
 |
| Swiss Chocolate Torte from Vieux Chalet |
To
cap this satisfying Swiss meal in the mountains, a delicious sweet ending of
two slices of Swiss Chocolate Torte topped with chocolate cream and mixed
berries such as cranberries, raspberries and blueberries.
Dining
at Vieux Chalet was more than filling, it was an experience worth coming back
as the Hassig’s warm welcome in their home is a memorable one from the genuine
smile the moment you enter their dining area.
