Made with hard-boiled eggs, avocado, tomato, grilled or roasted chicken (not fried), bacon, cheese onions and lettuce, the Cobb Salad was created in the 1930's and named after Robert H.Cobb, owner of a chain of American chain of restaurants called Brown Derby.
This classic American salad headlines a week-long gastronomic celebration at The Promenade at Days Hotel Iloilo as it celebrates Fourth of July with an American Lunch Buffet starting today, June 29 until July 3. And on July 4, its Indulgence Saturday Dinner Buffet goes American!
So after the Cobb Salad, I set my eyes on the Potato Salad right next to it and eventually concocted my favorite Pineapple-Carrot-Cucumber-Jicama Salad with thousand island dressing.
When my "Salad Days" was over, I had some New England Chowder before I trooped over to the appetizer station and had the classic Buffalo Wings...
... Beef Fillet wrapped in Bacon, which I gorged on...and mini Corn Dogs which I referred to as "Corn Pups".
Moving on to the main gastronomic agenda, how can I say not to these Pork Ribs in Peach and Hickory Sauce?!
Or to another bacon-wrapped dish which was Chicken in savory mushroom sauce?The Fried Fish Fillet with lemon sauce broke the my meat indulgence.
How about some chunky mashed potato with fried garlic? It's a must-try!
The Jambalaya Rice with browned vegetables, chicken, and sausage completed my simple American gastronomic lunch journey.But one's food journey at The Promenade isn't complete without the best dessert buffet in town!
And so it began with these Snickers mini-cupcakes - so delicious, I almost finished the whole display!
The delectable Choco Velvet cake almost shouted "Take me home!". But ofcourse, I couldn't so I just contented myself with one BIG slice...
Not just a regular apple pie but one with walnuts that made it even more delicious with crunch in every bite! Can you say this - Salted Granny Smith Apple Caramel Walnut Pie?!
Choco Chip Caramel Brownie or something like that! I may have forgotten what the name was but never how moist, soft and chewy it was. This would have been a perfect take home - if no one was looking at me LOL!
Of course my favorite that time was the Cadbury Mini Cheesecakes - they were pure chocolate bliss in every bite! And I had more than enough bites to content myself and satisfy my would-be cravings for these dishes and desserts.
