Indulging on feasts
A crowned jewel in its many offerings, a sumptuous spread awaits guests at the restaurants of Aqua Boracay. Wake up to a wonderful breakfast and comfort ala carte menu at QTCHN, the all-day dining restaurant. You can also indulge in the creations of internationally-acclaimed chef Chele Gonzales. Together with his team, they create The Sexy Pool Menu at the Dayclub while over at SEA.FOOD by Chele, you can find a variety of cuisines. While they are yet on the soft opening, one can look forward to tasting a wide range of robust flavors. Among the unique dishes Chef Chele whipped up for dinner was the Angus Steak. With meat cooked to the utmost level of tenderness, each strip was oozing with juices. The softness perfectly complemented the crunchy texture of the golden fries.
For dessert, the most memorable one during our team’s stay was the Mango Float with Basil Pannacotta. At first glance, one may expect it to taste utterly sweet. Yet a scoop of the mango slices and its creamy sauce surprised the tastebuds with the slightly bitter kick of basil. Incorporating an herb into a typically relished dessert is quite interesting. This only reflects the creativity and the bold spirit of Chef Chele, his fellow chefs, and the rest of his team.
The rest of the courses we tasted in our entire stay include the freshest seafood like Mud Crab with Sichuan Sauce and experimental serves on local fare like Cebu Lechon Porchetta with Lechon fried rice. Guests can look forward to the chefs’ future creations, mixing flavors and textures that appeal to discerning tastebuds. After all, creating feasts is not only about satisfying the appetite but taking one into a different culinary journey each time.
The Aqua Boracay is nothing short of a world-class resort. From the warm Filipino hospitality, luxurious rooms, amazing spa treatments, to the remarkable dining scene, a vacation is certainly unforgettable. The overall experience truly lives up and exceeds the expectations of the sophisticated traveler.
