A notable addition to Café 1228’s offerings is the introduction of a hydroponics system at the salad station, providing fresh, sustainably grown greens. The restaurant also proudly supports local salt farmers by incorporating Philippine artisanal salts into its menu. Guests can now enjoy the distinct flavors of Asin Tibuok from Bohol, a rare, smoky salt formed in clay pots; Asin Tultul from Guimaras, a hardened salt block with a unique umami profile derived from a mix of seawater and coconut milk; and Asin Buy-O from Zambales, a fine sea salt produced through a traditional brining and filtration process unique to the region’s northern coast.
