For those of you who have been following my blog and reading my entries, you probably know by now that I am not a sweet tooth so I would almost always skip dessert. This time though I wasn't able to escape the sweet temptation because all there was to eat were desserts -- heavenly chocolate desserts.
Tried Manila Hotel's Heavenly Chocolate Buffet at Cafe recently and I was floored by the wide array of chocolates and chocolate pastries. At the center of the buffet is a giant dual fountain of cascading dark and milk chocolate sauces, surrounded by a delicious display of pralines, cookies, cakes, fudge brownies, creme brulee, chocolate gateaux, crepes and chocolate coated fruits.
I felt like a kid who visited Wonderland on Christmas day when I saw all the gorgeous sweets on the buffet spread. Even the whimsical figures on display were enticing -- figures inspired by the recent visit of Cirque du Soleil, made of chocolate as well but not for eating, unless some sneaky kids snatch it off the counter.
There's even an ice cream counter at the side -- a must-try is the Ferrero ice cream -- with lots of toppings to choose from.
The rich chocolate concoctions, which are guaranteed to bring you sweet dreams, were expertly created by Manila Hotel's Executive Pastry Chef Rolando "Mac" Macatangay.
The Heavenly Chocolate Buffet is available at Manila Hotel's Cafe Ilang-Ilang from 3- 6 pm and is offered until October 31. Which means that I have to stay away from the sweet temptations until the end of the month. But that's just me. Don't stop yourself and indulge while you still can.
Forgive me for using too many visuals here (seeing the goodies again made me hungry), I just think that is the best way to blog about chocolates. :)
