Shangri-La Plaza Mall is one of my favorite malls but lately, I don’t feel
like visiting the place. Yes, I don’t. It’s because there are no new
restaurants. *insert sad music here for the foodie* We always end up visiting the
restaurants we’ve been to and order something else. But when I’m with my
family, they always order the same thing. *insert another sad music here*
I have nothing against D&B so it was okay for me to eat there. And luckily,
they have new dishes!
Duck & Buvette now serves dishes
like Mustard Rabbit (PHP440) and Braised Frog Legs with Herby Breadcrumbs
(PHP280) which made the exotic foodie in me excited. But… those were not
available when we visited. So, we
ordered the following instead: Grana
Padano Cheese with Quezon Wild
Honey (PHP190), D&B Crispy Half
Duck Confit (PHP980) and the family favorite, and the 8 Hour Angus Briskets (PHP370).
First served were the slices of cheese
with honey.
Okay, confession time. Cheese
with honey was something new to me. And oh boy! I felt bad that I discovered it
after two decades! I love the contrast of the tanginess of the cheese
and the sweetness of the honey.
(P.S. I just discovered yogurt and honey combination recently. I used to put
maple syrup but since we were out, I tried honey
and it was better!)
The angus briskets were served next
and it was still as yummy as before. (Click here
to read my review about this dish.)
And finally, the in demand duck
confit.
The skin sure was crispy… and oily. I
guess the duck
fat was really something else. The flesh was juicy and it had a lighter
texture. My mom loved the tangy whole grain mustard and the reduced balsamic
sauce. The duck went amazingly well with the ratatouille duck rice.
I can’t wait for D&B to serve the
rabbit
stew and braised frog
legs on my next visit. I’ve never had rabbit before so that will be something
to look forward to.
Duck & Buvette is located at 2nd floor, Shangri-La Plaza
Mall Main Hall, Mandaluyong City.
