Backlog Post: Highlands Prime Steakhouse

Sifting through my files, I found some photos of our Highlands Prime Steakhouse visit last July 2014. We ate there twice that week.

It was as if we walked into a log cabin when we entered the establishment. The place was quite spacious and has extra space to accommodate a grand piano. Seats overlooking the Manila Bay are also available. Here are some photos of what we had:


Steak

We ordered some meat...

Butterfly Prawns

...and some seafood as well.

Mango Cheesecake

That swirly mango garnish is made from a sour mango. I expected something sweet when I ate that whole mango garnish but I was greeted with sourness. The cheesecake was quite thick and rich.

And a few days after our lunch, we decided to have our dinner there. This time, there was a pianist playing some songs on the piano which enhanced the ambiance of the place. We tried the following dishes:

Espresso Apricot Chicken

Tasted some of the coffee and apricot in there.

Salmon Tornado

This salmon steak was the seafood of the night.


Mango Panna Cotta

A lighter dessert compared to the mango cheesecake. Still, there was a sour mango garnish. The panna cotta itself was milky and creamy.

I want to visit again and relive the taste of the food!

Cafe Mary Grace: Mango Bene

Cake has always been present in our family’s birthday celebrations. For the first celebrant of the year, we bought something from Cafe Mary Grace, the Mango Bene.

Suspense.
Take a glimpse of the cake inside the box.

Now inside…

…just look at those mangoes on top of the cream – fully covered with mangoes.

We have been craving for a good mango cake and Mango Bene was the answer. “Bene” means “good” in Italian

Alternating layers of mangoes, cream, and meringue. Yes, there are mangoes inside the cake as well. The layering made the texture interesting. There were different kinds of sweetness as well. Sugary meringue, fluffy cream, fruity taste from the mangoes equals satisfied cake lovers.



Let's have another look at that cake…

Happy Birthday, indeed.
