Instakitchen Manila E3: Chocolate pralines at Sofitel Philippine Plaza

They don’t call Spiral restaurant the best buffet deal in Manila for nothing—apart from the variety of dishes to choose from it also has a chocolate room where you can watch master chocolatier chef de partie Tweet Obsequio work her magic.

In this all-glass structure kept at a constant 18-degrees, the multi-awarded chef Tweet creates dreamy edible sculptures in the shape of the Eiffel Tower (a nod to Sofitel’s French heritage), handbags and, for the manly types, tools like wrenches and pliers.

There also trufflees, chocolate bars and pralines, sugar candies made from nuts and sugar syrup. On this episode of Instakitchen Manila, chef Tweet shows us how to make peanut pralines, white chocolate candies filled with nuts roasted with confectioner’s sugar.

Spiral, Sofitel Philippine Plaza, Roxas Boulevard, CCP Complex, Pasay City; +63 2 551 5555.
