The green interiors and high ceiling exude a homey yet classy dining ambiance
Partnering with
Unilever Food Solutions (UFS), the ingenious restaurant owners handpicked the best from its menu for inclusion in
Manila's Signature Dishes 2010. The roster includes Pumpkin Veloute, CCY Salad, Roast Angus Beef Belly, and Honeyed Panna Cotta.
To start, we were served the
CCY Salad--rosciutto-wrapped mixed greens and rocket leaves with tomatoes in honey-mustard dressing. The orange slices and buffala cheese creates a flavorful twist to the dish.
The
Pumpkin Veloute is actually a mix of pumpkin and carrot with Mantecado ice cream. Crushed walnuts and popcorn sprouts are added for flavor and texture.
