Banana Leaf Asia Cafe Specialties

My hunt to taste the different desserts in the metro led me to Banana Leaf Asia Cafe at Robinson's Place Ermita which offers authentic contemporary South East Asian Cuisine (Malaysian, Singaporean, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese and Indonesian) which is my least favorite type of cuisine. I entered and ordered their House Desserts Specialties.

Sago Pudding in Thai Pandan Leaf

Priced at Php 80.00, Sago Pudding in Thai Pandan Leaf with whole sweet kernel corn on top is Thai's version of the Filipino dessert Maja Blanca. This is a softer version. I love its creamy coco-nutty taste and its not too sweet.

Pandanus Pancake Roll with Fresh Coconut

Also priced at Php 80.00, Pandanus Pancake Roll with Fresh Coconut will be loved by those Filipinos who loves Bukayo. This dessert is Rolled in Pandan Flavored pancake filled with what we Filipinos called Bukayo (a Philippine sweet meat of grated coconut fried/simmered in brown sugar) drizzled with the bukayo's syrup. 

This syrup is too sweet. Without the syrup it would be just enough. The grated coconut filling is too dry, I suggest that it would be better that the grated coconut be a little gelatinous.

VERDICT:

Sago Pudding in Thai Pandan Leaf - 9/10,

 Pandanus Pancake Roll with Fresh Coconut - 5/10

Greenwich Pizza Cookie

My recent visit to Greenwich Intramuros, lets me indulge in their new offering of dessert : The Pizza Cookie! Available in two variants, Butterfinger Pizza Cookie and Nestle Crunch Pizza Cookie. I ordered for the Butterfinger since this is one of my all time favorite chocolate, too bad it wasn't available, so I ended up with the Nestle Crunch.

This is made of flavored oatmeal cookie which is perfectly baked maintaining its crunchiness, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (if you want an additional scoop of ice cream just like we did, you can do so by adding up an additional Php 10.00 per scoop), drizzled with rich luscious chocolate syrup and topped with Nestle Crunch Chocolate Halves.

The other variant is the Butterfinger Pizza Cookie made of Butterfinger chocolate flavored oatmeal cookie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzled with rich luscious chocolate syrup and sprinkled with crushed Butterfinger chocolate.

The Pizza cookie was served hot, the oatmeal cookie was freshly baked. What amazed me is that the Ice cream did not melt easily inspite of the hot oat meal cookie beneath it. The oatmeal cookie is perfectly baked and compliments the vanilla ice cream and the chocolate syrup. Priced at Php 99.00 good for sharing gives value to your money.
