6 DELIGHTS THAT GUESTS GO BACK FOR

- CHRISTIAN JAY B. QUILO / Writer

Hotels may be primarily for accommodat­ion but a brave few pushed beyond expectatio­ns and have become known not just for their posh suites but for gastronomi­c food as well.

Introducin­g Marco Polo Plaza Cebu’s Signature Six: a delightful and diverse curation of the hotel’s best culinary creations. Get your appetite ready and let’s go on an Epicurean adventure.

Adobo

Marco Polo’s take on this classic Filipino dish is no- fuss and straightfo­rward—tender cuts of pork and chicken coated in a delicious savory sauce. One can get this either a la carte or at the buffet in Cafe Marco. Word of caution: one cup of rice might not be enough.

Mango Cheesecake

The cheesecake is given a proudly Cebuano touch with a luscious crowning of perfectly ripe mangoes. This already indulgent dessert is made more heavenly with a halo of icing and— gasp—a crust made from the famous Malicious Cookies!

Malicious Cookies

What started out as a side for an order of coffee became an award-winning dessert of the hotel. A certain customer who ordered coffee kept asking for the cookies and called it “malicious” because of how addicting these were, hence, the name. Do yourself a favor and try one of these sinful discs loaded with chocolate chips. But don’t expect eating only one because after all, they’re not called malicious for nothing.

Ensaimadas

Available in Classic, Ube and Mango, these fluffy pastries are perfect for afternoon coffee breaks. Marco Polo’s Ensaimadas also come in boxes of three or six which make them great for pasalubong!
