Five sumptuous years for CDP!

- PEPPER TEEHANKEE

It’s always a joy to eat at the restaurant­s of Malou Fores. For years, I have enjoyed her food establishm­ents like Mamou and Chef Du Partie or CDP Global Table.

I was excited to find out recently that for CDP, Malou and her partner Kat Kuhn-Alcantara have come out with new dishes, which I was able to try, for the restaurant’s fifth anniversar­y.

Popular to diners are two new pasta dishes — the crab roe spaghettin­i with cream, and salted egg carbonara. Another widely ordered dish at the restaurant is an egg served with vodka cream and ikura (salmon roe).

Though I am really not fond of curry, I enjoyed two yummy curry dishes — curried shrimp and oyster roll, and curried mussels. My co-diners raved about the duck paella, which I skipped as I was saving space for the dessert.

The matcha lava cake with white chocolate ice cream dessert really hit the spot for me because matcha and white chocolate are two of my favorite things. It was a good thing I saved space for dessert!

Take note that the regular CDP favorites are still on the menu.

Happy fifth anniversar­y, Chef Du Partie! And congratula­tions to Malou and Kat!

(CDP is located at 148B Level R1, Power Plant Mall, Lopez Drive, Makati City. For inquiries and reservatio­ns, call 855-64454.)
