All hail the Bibingka Souffle of C2 (Classic Cuisine) restaurant. I’m no culinary expert, but my tastebuds did tell me that this souffle was perfection. How the heck did a bibingka cake turn into a souffle? I have no technical words for you. All I know is that I was blown away.
I drizzled my dessert with a creamy coconut custard with toasted coconut bits. Then I sliced my spoon into the amazingly light souffle topped with quezo de bola shavings. At the bottom of the airy dessert were bits of salted egg. I then tasted the souffle, savoring every new texture and familiar flavor that slowly and beautifully made themselves known. Ah, Bibingka Souffle bliss.
While it does not have the heartiness of a typical bibingka rice cake, it shared almost the same warmth and comfort of a bibingka. It was homey yet indulgent, making this Bibingka Souffle a beautiful ode to a Filipino culinary classic.
Shall we go back for more?

Wow… I didn’t know such a concoction was possible. I mean, bibingka cake isn’t exactly light… Cool, I’m intrigued. I love to experiment and update Filipino food into… well, Westernized techniques. Rather exciting… Sometimes successful… sometimes a failure… but always fun.
