Kape Chino (Casa Roces Malacañan)

Pakbet with Bagnet is new for me, with a twist of crispiness and touch of fresh veggies you will feel the yumminess of this food. Pakbet by the way is a combination different veggies (lady finger,squash,egg plant,string beans etc.) and if you will ask what is bagnet? It is boiled and deep-fried pork belly. Just like lechon kawali, what distinguishes bagnet from other fried pork dishes is the tremendously blistered skin which literally transforms the pork skin into crackling.
Unlike lechon kawali, however, which is deep fried at a very high temperature only until the skin is blistered and the meat is lightly browned, bagnet is fried longer — achieving the same blistered skin but with a well-browned, drier and crispier exterior portion of the meat. When freshly cooked, the well-browned portion of the meat is quite delightful to eat. But, after a few hours, it turns tough and leathery. (source: Connie Veneracion of Casa Veneracion)

Only in Malacañan! that's the waiter told me as I ordered one of their finest and incredible yet very delicious dessert. With chocolate on top, sour but yummy on the second layer (I guess) and ice cream/frozen yogurt i think, on the lower portion. This dessert is a must try not because it's only in malacañan but this one is truly a work of art in food category! I suggest if your in that area, please do visit the beautiful interior design of Casa and try vintage food, and not to mention waiters are very accommodating and entertaining, by the way Malacañan is the official resident of President of the Republic of the Philippines. Let's Eat, Play and be Merry!

I love #desserts !! 😍 #foodstagram
