The Dessert Kitchen

By | Foodie, What's New at Power Plant Mall | No Comments

I have been wanting to try this place ever since I heard about it last year!  So happy to finally visit and have dessert at the Dessert Kitchen at Rockwell.  It is a franchise from Hong Kong and it is by the same owners as Tuan Tuan @tuantuanmanila and Lugang Cafe @lugangcafe #thedessertkitchenph #powerplantmallThe Dessert Kitchen Love the Vertical garden 🙂The Dessert Kitchen (1) When you think Dessert Kitchen – immediately what came to my mind was dessert heaven filled with rich, super sweet, super fattening sweets.  But apparently that is not what Dessert Kitchen is all about.  It’s desserts that are light and relatively healthier than the usual desserts that we have.  So it’s even better than what I expected.  We should have more places like these!!!The Dessert Kitchen (16)Monitor showing the menu right in the entrance of the place
The Dessert Kitchen (2) The Dessert Kitchen (3) Heart2Heart loves Soft Ice cream 🙂   At The Dessert Kitchen its low fat and low sugar.  They serve 2 flavours at a time so the one marked is the one they are serving for the day- Vanilla and Yogurt for us that dayThe Dessert Kitchen (4) They also have hard ice cream The Dessert Kitchen (5) The Dessert Kitchen (6) LOVE the wall!!!!The Dessert Kitchen (7) The Dessert Kitchen (8)  A fun and healthy afternoon at @thedessertkitchenph with these two – Margie @paellaqueen and Alexie. We not only had healthy and yummy desserts but we talked and shared tips on how to be healthy. We all want to be healthy. LOVE, Friends, Desserts and Happiness 🙂  that’s all you need  #thedessertkitchenph #H2HQuotesThe Dessert Kitchen (9)  We started with a savory dish. There’s only 2 in the Dessert Kitchen @thedessertkitchenph Japadog ? eggettes ? It’s their version of a waffle dog with caramelized onions, seaweed, teriyaki mayonnaise and with honey mustard dressing. Yum!The Dessert Kitchen (14) the dessert kitchen menu 4Chocolate Lovers EggettesThe Dessert Kitchen (11) The Dessert Kitchen (10) the dessert kitchen menu 2Sesame Rice Ball in Coconut – YUM!The Dessert Kitchen (17)the dessert kitchen menu 5Kanten Grape – You dip the noodles in the grape sauce and then eat with fresh fruits 🙂  It’s their version of RAMEN! 🙂The Dessert Kitchen (12) One of the signature dishes at @thedessertkitchenph – Taiwan Style Shaved ice. It comes in different flavors – Coconut, Mango and even Durian with Mini Rice Balls, Nata De Coco, and fresh mangoes. Light, refreshing and sweet. The desserts at the Dessert kitchen are very innovative, light ( low fat ) and healthy yet tastes good. It’s not the usual very sweet, very heavy and you feel guilty afterwards. Heart2Heart loves @thedessertkitchenph at @powerplantmall #powerplantmall #thedessertkitchenph #taiwanshavediceThe Dessert Kitchen (18)the dessert kitchen menu 1The Romantic Valentine – Low fat yogurt, corn flakes, peanuts, pistachio crust, and fresh strawberries? Yum!!!The Dessert Kitchen (15)the dessert kitchen menu 3Our favorite today was the Purple in Love  – ( Hong King Grand Cuisine Award 2009 ) dessert at the Dessert Kitchen @thedessertkitchenph A MUST TRY if you haven’t tried this yet.

Tonight they took us to have the best and most authentic unagi in the Philippines Unakichi (4) Unakichi (3) Unakichi (19)  Unajyu Jo ( Grilled Fine Eel with rice) Yum!!!! #eel #unagi #Unakichi

There are 2 kinds of eel in Unakichi – they have a fatty version for those that like big and fattier.  This is the regular which they call “Fine eel”Unakichi (9)  The only fresh grilled ( charcoal ) unagi  in the Philippines

They get their eel from a farm in the Philippines that has been exporting to Japan for 4 years already. They have been serving 100 eels a day since they opened last month. Unakichi (11)  The sauce they have is a 100 year old sauce which they grow from the original sauce from Japan #unagi #Unakichi #eel
