Like anyone else who appreciates the good life and good food, I was really happy to be able to experience the delectable flavors of summer with Appetite Magazine and Greenbelt’s grand launch of The Tasting Room.
I heard that The Tasting Room has a reputation for offering some of the dishes that can only be found in the world’s hottest culinary hubs, and today they gave us a chance to enjoy full course meals and more dishes at their favorite restaurants at only a fraction of their regular price. But not only did we get to try out restaurant best sellers and sampler platters – there was a specially designed menu that was unveiled in today’s grand launch.

If Bebeth Lorenzo’s face looks familiar to you, that’s because she used to be in many print ads and TV commercials before her experiences in Europe turned her into the stellar dessert baker she is today. Miss Desserts is famous for her exquisite cakes, among which is the cheesecake that was considered one of Manila’s best, according to a consumer survey. What I like about the Miss Desserts cheesecake is that it’s rich and flavorful, but it doesn’t feel heavy in your tummy the way most decadent desserts do. Not a cheesecake fan? The Fantasia is a mouthwatering pie with a chocolate crust that’s covered in caramel and topped with Belgian chocolate mousse. I love how it fixes the chocolate fix without giving you that sick, overloaded feeling afterwards. Another rich but light dessert you can find here is the Chocolate Souffle – but it’s only available when Bebeth is in town because she insists on making it herself.

Ideally we should have already been to every single restaurant by 6 pm, except we took our time eating and chatting at the first five or six establishment. At 5, we stopped going to the restaurants by groups and headed to the restaurant of choice on our own. By then, we had also been too full to properly appreciate the samples from the restaurants we tried last – which was such a shame because they had really interesting dishes prepared for us.
Watch out for individual reviews of the restaurants from the Spot.Ph Bloggers Food Tour over the next couple of days!
