WHAT emotional state is higher than just being happy? Resorts World Manila (RWM) believes it is the feeling of getting thrilled.
More than happiness, a thrill gives us a combination of excitement and pleasure.
A thrill is what you get when you hit the peaks of life like kissing that girl you have a big crush on; or maybe, even unexpectedly getting the gift that you’ve always wished to receive. Thrills don’t usually come often so one has to really be prepared for them. And oftentimes, given the surge in emotions that thrills can provide, people on the receiving end must truly be prepared, even physically, to handle these unforeseen surprises. Thrills are not for the faint of heart, literally and figuratively.
This is why the RWM, through its signature restaurant outlets,recently introduced a new line of meals that are not only delicious and satisfying, but are also healthy. Now, in the world of culinary talk, healthy and delicious don’t usually come together—but not in this case! The new line called, “Keto Thrills,” helps dieters keep to their goals of losing unwanted pounds and bulges while enjoying rich, delectable flavors and experiences for their palates.
Inspired by the dieting regimen that has recently been a hit among weight watchers, RWM’s Keto Thrill Meals applies the principles of the ketogenic diet without sacrificing a dieter’s eating pleasure. Recognizing that the keto diet is particularly difficult to follow in the Philippines, given the local cuisine’s affinity with rice and sweets, the RWM’s restaurants found a way to strike the balance between what’s keto and what’s delicious.
Giving a classic breakfast treat a keto twist, Café Maxims’s Eggs Benedict stays true to tradition with juicy slabs of thick-cut bacon, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce, but with hot almond buns instead of wheat-based bread. The café also serves the sweet, but sinless Lava Cake. Made with almond flour and dark chocolate, it goes perfectly with the Brain Boost Coffee, which comes with a shot of MCT oil and a heap of organic grass-fed butter.
Diners who enjoy both seafood and red meat would love the Surf & Turf by Impressions, RWM’s multi-award winning French fine-dining restaurant. Pan-seared premium beef and salmon come together in one scrumptious dish, served with an array of delectable sidings.
Silogue proves that Filipino comfort food can go beyond rice and viand combinations with the Bangusala Plancha. A portion of Spanish-style grilled milkfish is served with eggplants and a veggie side dish made with tomatoes, onions, olives, and local seaweed.
Japanese-Korean restaurant Ginzadon’s dish is the Snapper Fillet Teppanyaki—a slab of fresh snapper sautéed in unsalted butter and served with a side of blanched vegetables.
The Oven-Baked Salmon by the Terrace at Maxims Hotel is unbelievably juicy and tender, with the premium salmon cooked to delicate perfection and complemented by a serving of fresh salad.
Frank’s Carne con Avocado has heaps of spicy ground beef topped with Mexican cheese, sour cream and sous vide egg on a bed of sliced avocado. The rich and flavorful mix is given an added snap of texture with a side of crunchy chicharon.
Passion, the RWM’s renowned fine-dining Cantonese restaurant, keeps its keto offering simple and refreshing with Shrimps & Veggies. Large shelled shrimps are tossed in a mixture of lettuce, shallots, tomatoes and capsicum for a meal that is light on the belly, but heavy on flavor.
Victoria Harbour Café’s Grilled Pork Belly pairs the freshly grilled premium pork cuts with blanchedzucchini, broccoli and carrots for an elegantly balanced combination of flavors.
It is highly recommended that diners consult their physicians or a nutritionist before starting any new diet. The Keto Thrill Meals are available exclusively at the RWM signature restaurants. Its members may avail themselves of this offer using points. Diners must be at least 21 years old to access gaming area restaurants Silogue, Franks and Victoria Harbour Café.
