The results are in. Three hundred pastry chefs, dessert connoisseurs and coffee aficionados around the world have given their opinion. Drum rolls please…

Chocolate is Still No.1

In the world of dessert, chocolate is still the clear winner – whether it is chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, chocolate soufflé or any other chocolate creation. At Serye Café Filipino, the most valued chocolate is the Tablea, the native Filipino chocolate. Sourced from premium cocoa in Davao, chocolate lovers can’t help but binge on Serye Café Filipino’s Tablea Cheesecake, Tablea infused Coffee Pie (which is made up of tablea, buttercream and cookie crust) and Gateau Mocha Manila, a decadent cake made of five layers of chocolate cake, chiffon, chocolate mousse, and coffee buttercream with praline, Mocha Manila possesses an exquisite chocolate taste. Every layer is infused with tablea that adds to the poetic and unique flavor of Mocha Manila.

Asian Invasion
Asian flavors are invading even the formidable European and American markets and Asian dishes are finding their way into the menu of their cafes. This shows that Asian cuisine, including Filipino cuisine is as good and can compete with the best cuisines in the world. Serye Café Filipino proudly serves Filipino food and coffee that rivals even the best of international restaurants and cafes.

The Taste of the Familiar

There is also a growing trend that people tend to gravitate towards a taste that reminds them of home or the good old times. At Serye Café Filipino, every cup of coffee and serving of dessert is reminiscent of the familiar magic of Filipino flavor. Its signature coffee, Mocha Manila, is a special coffee preparation made from the country’s finest coffee beans and the classic local chocolate Tablea.

Dessert “Stories”

Dessert “stories” are on the rise – a plating style in which three or four variations of desserts are put together in a single platter. Serye Café Filipino exemplifies this trend with Fondue Filipino, an adaptation of Swiss fondue but uses native chocolate and accompanied by crunchy Turon. The fondue, which is melted tablea, serves as a dip for the assorted turon that comes in three variants: banana-langka, mango-sago, and buko-pinya.

Drinkable Desserts

Another hot trend right now is drinkable dessert which often doubles as coffee as well. Coffee specialists are experimenting with flavors and ingredients to create innovative liquid desserts and coffee mixes to add different layers of flavor and texture.

Serye Café Filipino takes pride in a unique drink called Yema Frappe which is a concoction of the popular yema confection, vanilla ice cream and coffee. Another must try is Café con Sorbetes, a serving of homegrown ice cream and espresso sprinkled with premium coffee grounds.

Luckily, Filipino dessert and coffee lovers now have a place where they can experience the latest coffee and dessert creations with the recently unveiled Serye Café Filipino – the first truly Filipino café.
