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! 聽So happy to finally visit and have dessert at the Dessert Kitchen at Rockwell. 聽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 馃檪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. 聽But apparently that is not what Dessert Kitchen is all about. 聽It’s desserts that are light and relatively healthier than the usual desserts that we have. 聽So it’s even better than what I expected. 聽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 馃檪 聽 At The Dessert Kitchen its low fat and low sugar. 聽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聽The Dessert Kitchen (5) The Dessert Kitchen (6) LOVE the wall!!!!The Dessert Kitchen (7) The Dessert Kitchen (8) 聽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 馃檪 聽that’s all you need 聽#thedessertkitchenph #H2HQuotesThe Dessert Kitchen (9) 聽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 馃檪 聽It’s their version of RAMEN! 馃檪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?
