This holiday season, Richmonde Hotel Ortigas invites guests to experience the warmth and joy of a true Filipino Christmas through its special selection of festive baked treats and savory delights. Each creation showcases classic local flavors to add a satisfying sentimental touch to holiday gatherings. Whether for your Noche Buena feast or as thoughtful gifts for loved ones, Richmonde’s collection is sure to spread holiday cheer.
At the heart of this year’s offerings is the ever-popular Richmonde Signature Ensaymadas, an indulgent Filipino holiday favorite. Big, buttery, and generously topped with cheese, these fluffy ensaymadas come in three delicious variants: classic plain (PhP 215), ube (PhP 245), and the new mango cheese (PhP 245). Also available are mini versions that come in boxes of four and nine—perfect for sharing or gifting.
Also making a sweet statement is Richmonde’s signature Chocolate Cake, a fudgy and moist creation that’s given a festive makeover with its holiday finishing. Available in three sizes (4” at PhP 265, 6” at PhP 625, and 8” at PhP 755), this dessert can satisfy the cravings of chocolate lovers. For other irresistible choco options, there are also chewy Revel Bars (PhP 420 for a box of 8) and Dark & White Chocolate Chip Cookies (PhP 225 per pack), which are ideal for holiday munching.
For those with a hankering for more traditional local flavors, there are the Ube Macapuno Cheesecake (PhP 215), a rich and creamy tribute to the well-loved ube and macapuno combination, and the savory Adobo Croissant (PhP 225), a delightful fusion of French pastry and the familiar adobo. Other specialty breads include the Banana Walnut Bread (PhP 395), and Cheese Pimiento Loaf (PhP 295).
Adding a dash of nostalgia to the holidays are Richmonde’s delightfully crispy, chewy, and creamy Silvanas. Available in Classic Cashew and Chocnut flavors (PhP 420 per pair), these treats will go well with a cup of steaming hot chocolate or brewed coffee.
For an all-in-one festive experience, Richmonde’s Holiday Hamper (PhP 1,998) offers a curated selection of pastry items that includes the mango cheese ensaymada, adobo croissant, ube macapuno cheesecake, silvanas, assorted flavored crinkles, and Sampaguita polvoron. Each item reflects Filipino heritage and is carefully packed in a traditional buri box.
Richmonde Café also has delectable hearty platters designed for the season’s potluck parties and intimate gatherings. The Beef Barbecue Spareribs (PhP 2,650), seasoned and slow cooked to tender perfection, and the scrumptious Salmon Wellington (PhP 2,840), featuring quality Norwegian salmon encased in puff pastry with spinach and cheese, are both good for six to eight persons.
