Earlier today, I had a meeting in Royal Bellagio Hotel which is located along P. Burgos Street in Makati City. The hotel has been our client for more than 4 years now and I must say that I have established a good personal rapport with the Hotel Manager, Ms. Boots Magno. Knowing my love for sweets, she made me try one of their desserts, the Frozen Brazo de Mercedes.
The cake was absolutely divine! It had four layers comprised of egg white, egg yolk, ice cream and crushed graham crackers. Really yummy!! The merengue on top had the perfect consistency while the custard filling provided the right sweetness. The slab of ice cream and the base of crushed graham gave a different but wonderful twist to this classic dessert.
I shared about a third of the cake with my colleague while I unabashedly finished it off. ;)
The Royal Bellagio Hotel is home to Caffe Ibiza Italiano and the Filling Station Bar and Cafe, with the latter popularly raved for its 1950's-theme and memorabilia. The hotel itself is famed for its elaborately decorated theme rooms which have been featured in several magazines and even a television show.
