Feel the Love through a Culinary Experience in Boracay
Traveling to Boracay, Aklan brings out the adventurous side in travelers. With its
various activities and breathtaking views of different islands and beaches, it is indeed
the perfect escape from the busy Metro, especially this summer.
Another huge part of the Boracay experience are the culinary delights that await its
visitors. This May, tourists were in for a delightful culinary experience with the beautiful
scenery of Boracay through Discovery Shores Boracay’s (DSB) “Guest Chef Series”,
one of the key events under the resort’s “Happy Summer” promo. Guests at DSB weretreated to a series of magnificent gastronomic feasts that were crafted by powerhouse
couple, chefs Lau and Jackie Laudico, who were featured in different restaurants
around the resort from May 26 to 28.
Kicking off the series last May 26, Thursday was the Laudico's Modern Filipino
specialties which included carvery dishes like Batuan Roast Chicken, Lechon Baka
(Angus Shortplate) and Belly Lechon by Chef Lau, and a selection of creative local
dessert by Chef Jac which included Suman Panna Cota Rice Cake, Maja Blanca
Cheesecake, and Tsokolate O (Tablea Custard) -- all featured at the buffet section of
the resort’s Sands Restaurant.
Guest then witnessed the celebrity chefs turn fresh market finds into delightful coastal
cuisine at Indigo Restaurant last May 27, Friday with a generous serving of fresh
Seafood Papillote, good for four persons. These savory pouches contain fresh prawns,
mud crabs, Chilean mussels, salmon, octopus and lobster that are perfectly baked afew minutes before it is served. The Seafood Papillote came with Adlai Pilaf andRoasted Vegetables and were served with three different sauces; namely, Cognac
Aligue sauce, Lemon Butter in Herb, and Garlic Lemon Butter. The Seafood Papillote
came with a bottle of Jim Barry Rosé which wonderfully complemented the hearty dish.
