Café Amiga : Sooo Pinoy Food Trip na Pilipinas!

April 12, 2012 – Sooo Pinoy Food Tour Day 2 in Cebu – Previous Post : Cafe Marco.

After our Adobo Cebuano feast at Cafe Marco, we headed to Imperial Palace Waterpark Resort and Spa for another food trip. It took us more or less 45 minutes to reach the resort but we still manage to arrive early for our scheduled visit.

The resort is good for both leisure and business travelers and is fully booked most of the time for international conventions specially those incentive trips from Korea. Cafe Amiga offers a casual dining specializing in classical and contemporary Filipino cuisine. Café Amiga offers regional & local cuisine which is light and easy, using the freshest of local & imported produce along with many varieties of local specialties from the country and the region.

During our visit, the Chef prepared Sisig Embutido, Guava Foam & Guadalupe Mango Sheet and Octupus tentacles, avocado & coconut with kesong puti spheres.

It was a deconstructed Sisig and I find it amazing that the taste of the Embutido has the same exact character of Sisig that we always love. The embutido is filled  with  Cebu  Chorizo  &  Boiled  Quail Egg,  with  guava  sauce  &  mango  jelly. Served  with  Ensaladang  Octopus  Tentacles  &  Avocado  with  mild -spiced  Coconut-Kesong  Puti  dressing.
