Sweet February

CEBU, Philippines – For this “Love Month,” we are featuring four sweet delights by Chef Adam Shihab, the Executive Pastry Chef of Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino. All four are guaranteed delectable, enticing and exciting – all perfect treats for a dearly beloved. Here’s the first one:

“Raspberry Macaroons”

Macaroons are one of the world’s well-loved treats. These small circular cakes are typically made with coconuts (as well as with other types of nuts), egg white, and sugar.

Though its earliest recipe on record is ascribed to entail the use of ground almonds, contemporary variations of the treat don’t always follow this recipe – owing to the active creativity of today’s culinary maestros.

Chef Adam’s “Raspberry Macaroons” are an ideal Valentines treat not just because they are delectable and delightful, but also because of the metaphorical semblance of the dessert’s form to the nature of a happy relationship – where genuine affection and dedication from both parties are for it to truly flourish and bloom.

With choice raspberries as the primary ingredient, Chef Adam’s “Raspberry Macaroons” is a truly delectable special that’s perfect to mark Valentine’s Day. The custom heart-shaped macaroons are perfect to match with a bouquet of roses, which can be requested from “Madeline,” the patisserie at the gourmet Walk of Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino where the sweet treat is available.
