“Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese: to die for!!! comfort food!!” – Ultimate Taste Test 4 Foodie 🙂

Dulcelin Gourmet is already a legend among foodies, especially those who have attended the Ultimate Taste Test Series. Foodies consistently rave about the food of Dulcelin — particularly their desserts! 

They are recognized as the:

Dulcelin Gourmet food is way better than most other restaurant food in town and has the same caliber as the gourmet food in 5-star hotels. Most people swear that Dulcelin serves the best Mac & Cheese in the metro. If you’re looking for a different taste trip, you should try their Baked Salmon with Wasabi (although some people said that it was too salty for their taste). We are loyal fans of their Angus Short Rib Steak and the Wagyu Tri-tip, which we usually order for special occasions.

Their desserts are flawlessly yummy, especially their signature Mango Torte (the best in town!); however, their Irish Cream Butter Cake did fail to make a solid impression on the foodies.

Dulcelin continues to be a home-based business located along Times Street with a few distribution outlets around Metro Manila. They don’t have a restaurant and they don’t cater up to this date. I’m encouraging them to open a private dining restaurant one of these days.

The Dulcelin Story

by Ricky Morelos

Dulcelin started way back in the early ’90s as a Christmas-only venture, selling mostly fruit cakes, ensaymadas, and pies. In 2001, we started selling mango tortes, which became such a big success that the business became a year-round affair. Our dessert line up includes such popular items as the Strawberry Cake, Chocolate Ganache Cake, Irish Cream Butter Cake, and many others. Our adherence to using quality ingredients such as dairy cream, butter, and real chocolate has ensured that our products maintain their true homemade appeal.

Aside from our desserts, Dulcelin also has an extensive savory food menu. Traditional dishes such as chicken relleno and galantina, lengua, callos, paella and cochinillo continue to be very popular all year round. The newer items like the Wagyu Tritips, Short Ribs cooked for 48 hours, Red Rice Salad and Cannelloni (using homemade pasta) also receive great feedback from our clientele. So if you’re planning a party at home, do consider Dulcelin for your main courses and desserts. All orders can be picked up at 36 Times Street, West Triangle Quezon City; Tiendesitas; Greenhills; or Glorietta. Call 374-2165 or 67 for details.

Blogosphere Raves About Angus Dulcelin Gourmet:

“GRABE ANG SHORTRIBS! I super loved it! I was lucky enough to get to taste 2 slices of the oh-so-tender and flavorful short ribs because I was able to line up towards the end of the event. Food-gasm galore! I didn’t like the pulled pork mac and cheese though. I found the pasta overcooked. And their mango torte is just a classic dessert. I remember eating a whole lot even if I had a terrible toothache.”

  3. I just love Dulcelin! Since you loved the pulled pork mac and cheese I suggest you should try out also are the pulled pork sandwiches. Pulled pork in it purest form, hahaha! This is one of my absolute favorite dishes from Dulcelin and it’s a great party dish as well 🙂

  5. We got to taste Dulcelin’s offerings towards the tailend of our UTT 4.0 experience – we started with the suppliers to our right upon entering NBC Tent and Dulcelin was on the last row to our left. Big mistake! When we got there after almost 2 hours since we entered the hall (the queuing for most of the suppliers amidst all the cacophony really took quite a while), they already ran out of the US Angus Beef Short Rib Steak, Baked Salmon With Wasabi and Mango Torte – darn my misguided prioritization! But the Pulled Pork Mac ‘N Cheese somewhat saved the day – though the penne noodles were a bit overcooked, the barbecued pork shreds and cheesy blanket connived to bring about a symphony of distinct flavors and textures with each mouthful. My family and I could have enjoyed it more if not for my being almost fully satiated from all the food sampling prior to this, plus all that exhausting standing in line was eventually taking its toll on us. But the fact that this dish still made an impression on me at that point speaks volumes! I also got to taste their Irish Cream Butter Cake – unfortunately I could barely discern the Bailey’s in it, hence forgettable.
    Note to self come UTT 5.0 – zero in on them Dulcelin delights immediately upon entry! Er, they are joining anew – right, Anton and Ricky Morelos? Pretty pretty please?
