After trying out Dean & Deluca in Rockwell, we immediately went back the week after. There is just no possible way we were going to miss out on trying out the other dishes! Besides, the parents were away when we first dined in Dean & Deluca, and we wanted them to try out the pizzas too. So... here's our Dean & Deluca experience part 2. Enjoy!
 |
| Creme Brulee Croissant |
Flaky goodness with the right amount of creme brulee filling.
 |
| Banana Wheat Muffin |
I didn't like the Apple Cider Blueberry Muffin last time, so I was a bit hesitant in ordering this. But it turns out, it was quite moist and is bursting with banana flavors!
 |
| Kougin Amann |
Ahhhh... Kougin Ammans have always been my weak spot. And Dean & Deluca's version hits right on the spot.
 |
| Butterscotch Sticky Bun |
Too sweet, but expectedly so. Reminds me of the cinnamon rolls I've loved as a child. It was a gooey, sticky, happy mess.
 |
| Grilled US Duroc Pork Chop with Chorizo-Corn & Apple Salsa |
The pork chop was tender, but not as tender as I've imagined it would be. The chorizo-corn and apple salsa was too much for me. Would've preferred a less festive accompaniment.
 |
| Pesto Pasta with Shrimp, Calamari, Dried Tomatoes and Piquillo |
When it comes to pastas, our family prefers it to be cooked well done and not al dente. We like our pastas really soft. And this pesto pasta was perfect for us. It was soft without being mushy, and the sauce was prefect!
 |
| Truffle Parmesan Steak Fries |
Ugh. I hate it when I order something with truffle and it comes out either completely void of truffle smell, or with an extremely faint truffle smell. Dean & Deluca's truffle parmesan steak fries was the latter. I could barely detect the hint of truffle in the fries.
 |
| Braised Beef Stew with Mushroom, Vegetable and Mashes Potato |
The beef was tender, but the serving size was too small. Not so impressed with this one. The mashed potatoes, on the other hand? De-li-cious!
 |
| BBQ Braised US Beef Short Ribs, Roasted Garlic, Bechamel Sauce, Caramelized Onions, and Chimichurri Sourdough Pizza |
As with last time, the BBQ Braised US Beef Short Rib Pizza was thin, crisp and chewy. A bit lacking on the the meat though.
Not in photo: Parma Ham, Rocket Leaves and Parmigiano Sourdough Pizza, which we inhaled and completely forgot to take a photo of. The parma ham was sooooo good! And unlike the BBQ braised US beef short rib pizza above, the amount of parma ham was just right.
 |
| Dutch Apple Pie |
Huge, huge chunks of apples in this Dutch Apple Pie. I found the crust to be a wee bit thicker than my liking, and it was a tad too sweet too. But then again, I'm not much of a fan of apple pies.
So... on the second try, there were also hits and misses at Dean & Deluca. But overall, it was more hits than misses. There's still a few more things on the menu that I'd like to try, so that means I'm definitely going to be be back sometime soon. 4 out of 5 stars!
Dean & Deluca is at the G/F, Rockwell Edades Tower, Poblacion, Makati City
