I was already starting to feel full. Full from the food but also from the stories and memories the food brought. Chef Kring truly kept her word. She has transformed the dishes General Santos had to offer and yet still maintained that which was so uniquely Gen San. It was wonderful combination of simplicity and exquisite flavor, all jiving to create beautiful symphony of taste and aesthetics. Dessert was no different. A fruit shot, which tasted sweet, but more of a fruit sweet and not sugar sweet. As well as the Buko Pandan which had strands of Buko Meat making each bite a pleasant bite. A variety of cakes as well as conventional and continental desserts were available during the buffet. What a wonderful way to end the meal. And just like when I left Gen San, I felt a bit sad leaving. But Gen San left me with a pleasant feeling, a wonderful taste, a delightful after-taste was left lingering. Just like Chef Kring’s cooking.
