First pair is the Plato Medio, a platter roasted eggplant puree, hummus, green olives and toasted flour taco wraps, paired with the Pink Panther cocktail. The drink is a combination of dry white wine, 4 seasons, calamansi syruo and infused white rum (rum is infused with cilantro,mint and kamias for 2 days)
The hummus (made of cumin, chicpeas and paprika) and roasted eggplant puree goes perfectly together with its tangy flavor
The second pair is the rich and creamy Squash and Jalapeno Popper stuffed with cream cheese, mozzarella and kesong puti, encased in a crunchy breading and deep fried to perfection, paired with The Prince of Peach ( A mixture of vodka, peach juice, rosemary, and black tea syrup, four season and dry white wine, garnished with black tea leaves; inspired by Prince and his song Peach)
The third pair served is the well-executed Cerdo Tostado, a Pork Belly confit(simmered in olive oil for 3 hours with lime, parsley and cinnamon) toasted until crispy. Served with spiced pear chutney, crispy camote chips, paprika and habanero lime glaze) matched with The Golden Age cocktail when mixed forms swirling glitter on the glass.
Closer look at The Golden Age cocktail. A mix of vodka, mango juice, rosemary and tea syrup, four season and dry white wine, garnished with gold luster dust to make it sparkle. The drink is inspired by a dream apparition, a solely on JC’s opinion is 1920’s is the golden age.
The fourth pair served at the media launch was the Picarones. It’s basically a Peruvian inspired donut, made up of sweet orange potato and roasted bananas which really is enlightening to the taste buds. It is served with calamansi glaze, spiced chocolate sauce (uses habanero), cinnamon sugar and lime zest. And of course, matched with The Posh Spice; a mixture of spiced rum, cinnamon nutmeg syrup, apple juice and egg white. Garnished with apple slices, cinammon bark and star anise.
