EAT TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT : RESTAURANT VERBENA'S HEAVENLY DESSERTS


Discovery Country Suites in Tagaytay City boasts not just of its luxurious themed rooms but of its equally grand dishes served at its resident dining spot, Restaurant Verbena. Headed by seasoned chef Columbian-born David Pardo de Ayala who executed an exquisite menu which he labelled as contemporary country cuisine.


The famous Taal Lake in Tagaytay City, Cavite

Amidst a spectacular view of the misty Taal Lake and Volcano surrounded by the cool crisp air, every dining pleasure would not be complete without a sweet finale. To end on a heightened note of an epicure's feast are two scrumptious desserts.


Restaurant Verbena's Panna Cotta Heaven, need I say more?
Panna Cotta Heaven, as the name suggest, brings you not one but three heavenly panna cotta variants - saffron and caramel oranges, pepper and raspberries, lemon balm and pistachio. Cooked in cream, the smooth, velvety creation bursts with flavor as you savor each concoction.


Bouchon's Chocolate Marquise

Second dessert but definitely not the least is Bouchon's Chocolate Marquise. Made from chocolate terrine and vanilla custard sauce, this soft, smooth, rich and mousse-like consistency is a recipe from Napa Valley's famous bistro. Adding a nutty crunch are whole roasted pistachio nuts. Every time I look at this luxurious dessert I could still savor its light and delicate taste, and remember how my eating buddy Spicy Susan dug into this mouth-watering goodness even before I took some photos.

Restaurant Verbena's desserts were simply gratifying.
