It’s the best time of the year once again and even if we won’t get snow, you can always have a cup of cheer and an assortment of delectable culinary creations from Richmonde Hotel Ortigas. Executive Chef Tristan Galang and his merry kitchen team have prepared luscious baked treats and savory pies for your celebrations and gift-giving this season.
Take your holiday feasts anywhere and indulge in traditional Yuletide fare when you order Richmonde’s Special Hotbox Platters packed in self-heating containers so you can warm up food with ease. These include Salmon en Croute, Cottage Pie, Shepherd’s Pie, Chicken Pot Pie, and Potatoes au Gratin.
Richmonde’s decadent Signature Moist Chocolate Cake, Flourless Chocolate Cake and Red Velvet Cheesecake are a sweet way to end the meal. Meanwhile snacking is better with the hotel’s Banana Walnut Bread, Creamy Spinach Baguette, Cranberry Babka, and Coffee Buns. These are best paired with Richmonde’s Herbed Butter and Bacon Jam spreads.
For those who prefer a local take, the Plain and Ube Ensaymada are always a welcome gift. Two new variants, the Pork Floss Ensaymada and Alcapone Ensaymada are must-try pastries making their debut this season. There are also Mini-Ensaymadas in boxes of 4 pcs and 9 pcs for sharing.
The hotel’s Christmas hampers feature tasty breads and homemade spreads packed in an elegant see-through box. The Box of Freshly Baked Bliss is good for 3 to 5 persons and contains 1 creamy spinach baguette, 1 braided rosemary loaf, 2 coffee buns, 1 mini pork floss ensaymada, 1 mini alcapone ensaymada, 1 jar of herbed butter, and 1 jar of bacon jam. The Hamper of Holiday Happiness on the other hand, is good for 6 to 8 persons with bigger versions of the breads in the Box of Freshly Baked Bliss, plus a loaf of cranberry babka.
