Mango Sushi

Mango Sushi is not rice sushi in any way. Instead, it's mango wrapped in a crepe. I never heard of the unique name until a colleague introduced me to this restaurant called East West in The Walk, Asiatown IT Park, Cebu. This is the same place where Figaro, the coffee shop I talked about from my previous post, is located.

I loved the dessert since the first time we met. I went to the restaurant again with a close friend and my camera. The goal was to eat this fancy crepe but it was dinner time too so we ordered some rice meal.


Citrus chicken sounded attracted so I had it while my friend had her favorite hungarian sausage. Both were served with rice and a side dish. I have to admit I wasn't crazy about the chicken. Meat was tender but it wouldn't be as tasty without the sauce. I have to say the fresh tomatoes were a good complement. I had a bite of the sausage too but couldn't think of anything to describe it except that it's the same spicy sausage everyone loves.


Finally, dessert was served. Fresh mango slices neatly wrapped in crepes were topped with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream. Mango syrup went trickling from the top which made the dessert even more tempting. The taste exceeded the presentation which was good I think. Now this seem to be the next best thing to Mango Float for me. They served the dessert with fork and knife which I didn't find so useful. If I don't need a spoon for this then someone needs to educate me now.


The restaurant has several ways of serving crepe and I plan to try everything. Overall, dinner satisfied both me and my friend and I recommend the place to anyone who wants to have a not-so-expensive dinner and a delicious crepe.
