Imagine your usual vegetables reinvented by their award-winning chefs. Vegan or not, it is a culinary treat to get your hands into – now!
Vegan Gone Fancy
Drop the “steak” on Cru Steakhouse, vegans can now do their date night or elegant dining in the metro’s top restaurant. Find a wholesome 3-course vegan menu for Php 1,300 only. It begins with a Mediterranean appetizer, Chickpea Falafel, made more flavorful with lemon-artichoke puree and grape relish. Main course is like a “walk in the forest” with Grilled Forest Mushroom and Leeks stuffed with fresh basil gremolata, garlic crushed baby potatoes and seasoned by tomato reduction. Cap the dinner off with Chocolate Mojito Ice Pops made by a fine mix of coconut, mojito, lemon and of course, chocolate cake on the side. By that, fine dining might just be a routine already.
For something handy to-go, Vegan Bars takes on a spotlight at their Marriott Café Bakery. These are dark and white chocolate clusters with salted pumpkin seeds for Php 450 per 200g, perfect as takeaways or giveaways. Chocolates used are from international brand, Felchlin Switzerland. Felchlin’s corporate pastry chef Anil Rohira flew to Manila to team up with Marriott Manila’s Executive Pastry Chef Fil Afable to enhance their creations.
Healthy Decadence
If you can’t go all-vegan but striving to be health-conscious, there is no need to quit on your cakes.
