In Porta’s refreshed menu, the Black Forest ($14) is perhaps the star of the tasting. Paying homage to the German Black Forest Cake, this is a deconstructed version with the chocolate lava cake, that’s made with Filipino Dark Malagos chocolate with 75% cocoa, playing the role of the layered chocolate cake. The bitterness from the lava cake is contrasted by the sweetness from the whipped coconut cream, which created a balance of flavour profiles. To up the ante further, maraschino cherries, that has been brined with a mixture of cinnamon, juniper berries and star anise and sugar-coated raw cocoa nibs are added as the finishing touch. If you prefer something that’s lighter, there’s the Spiced Apple Tarte Tatin ($14) that’s made from Granny Smith Apples, which has been stewed in a maple and herb syrup and served with a rum & raisin ice cream.
