Buffalo wings with strawberries? Fish-flavored ice cream? You might not expect these food combinations to taste good, but as TV actress Bea Binene found out in a recent episode of “Good News,” they might just surprise you.
Here are four unexpectedly delicious desserts you can try at different restaurants around Metro Manila and Central Luzon.
Tilapia ice cream
Would you eat ice cream with tilapia bits in it? If you think these two cannot go together in one addictive treat, think again.
In Chives Cafe and Patisserie located inside Central Luzon State University in Nueva Ecija, tilapia ice cream makes it to the list of their bestsellers. This unusual dessert is mostly made of milk, just like the regular ice cream, but it also contains nuts, cheese and steamed tilapia bits that’s rich in protein, potassium and Vitamin B12.
Milk, nuts, cheese and tilapia bits are combined together using a mixer to ensure all ingredients are finely crushed. These are then put into cups and are placed in the freezer overnight. The end result is an exciting new treat you will surely love! The best part? Each serving only costs P30.
“Masarap po, parang the best ice cream. Parang walang isda, lasang gatas lang,” said a child interviewed on “Good News” after tasting tilapia ice cream for the first time.
Strawberry wings
San Juan-based restaurant Melting Pot Kitchen and Bar is where you can find one of the budding food trends this 2014 - their famous Strawberry Wings.
This dish is just one of the European comfort foods the resto offers to their customers, and undoubtedly, it’s one of the best. “Kasi uso ngayon ‘yung buffalo wings, so gusto namin medyo maiba. ‘Yung magbigay ng kakaibang lasa at ‘yung wala pang gumagawa, basically,” says Chef Francis Lim, owner of Melting Pot Kitchen and Bar.
Try their Strawberry Wings for only P250 per serving.
Paradiso
Pastillas, macapuno, yema and ube in one dessert? Bale Dutung restaurant in Angeles City, Pampanga boasts a dessert combining all these treats - presenting Paradiso, the taste of paradise!
The recipe for this famous Kapampangan dessert is not really a secret. According to restaurant owner and chef Claude Tayag, they follow the traditional way of making Paradiso, and that is by using original Kapampangan ingredients like carabao milk. He adds, “It captures everything Pampango cuisine stands for. It’s rich and locally-sourced.”
To make this, they put melted pastillas in an oven and leave it there for 10 minutes. They top it with yema, macapuno, ube and sugar. For extra crunch and taste, they use a culinary torch to caramelize the sugar on top. This sweet treat is available in the restaurant’s Anthony Bourdain Menu which costs P1,850.
Kesoflan
Apart from other food combinations like banana tart, coffee pie and maja blanca crepe, Sentro 1771 at Serendra in The Fort serves a Pinoy version of cheesecake - the Kesoflan!
Combining keso de bola cheese and classic leche flan, Kesoflan is one of the restaurant’s most popular treats. “‘Yung Kesoflan, gusto naming maging familiar pa rin sa panlasa ng mga Pinoy - mapa-Pinoy na nasa abroad or nandito sa local,” says Claudette Cuares, sous chef of Sentro 1771.
Just like the regular leche flan, Kesoflan is mostly made of milk, eggs and sugar. Cream cheese and baking powder give Kesoflan its creamier and thicker consistency. It’s also baked, not steamed, and is often paired with slices of quezo de bola and salted egg. Each serving costs P220.
“Ibang-iba siya sa regular na leche flan. ‘Yung texture niya kapag kinain mo siya, mas creamy. Nakaka-balance ng flavor ‘yung quezo de bola at itlog na pula,” says Bea Binene of the treat. —Donna Allanigue/PF, GMA News
