Food Trip Face-off: Fruity Desserts, Knicker Bucker & Fruit Basket Parfait!
Posted under Desserts
If you prefer something fruity and healthy choice of dessert, try the Knicker Bucker of Palmeras Restaurant (located at Pasonanca and also available at Palmeras, Paseo del Mar) and the new product, Fruit Basket Parfait, of Mr. Bean Cafe at Catribo Complex, Zamboanga City. I have tasted both and hmmm… yummy and healthy.
Ybet introduced me the Knicker Bucker few months ago and got addicted to it. Even though Palmeras Restaurant is far from downtown, we usually commute to the place just to have our craving satisfied. Luckily, Palmeras Restaurant opened a branch at the recently opened Paseo del Mar, a new tourist destination in Zamboanga City which is near downtown. Knicker Bucker is a mix of gelatin, mango, banana, and watermelon, cream and topped with strawberry ice cream.
Another dessert that you might want to try is the New Fruit Basket Parfait, offered at Mr. Bean Cafe. Still a fruity and healthy dessert; a combination of watermelon, papaya, peach, mango, pineapple, banana, and apple. Layered with strawberry iceam at the bottom and buko melon atop. There’s also almond jelly and drizzled with white choco sauce, evaporated and condensed milk. A bit sweet and yet delicious! Yesterday, I told Ybet about this new dessert and she asked me to go with her earlier today to try it. And, we did!
Anyway, let us know what you think if you tried these desserts in town.
