It
is the most wonderful time of the year and at Cravings, it is not an
excuse not to go “green”. A restaurant brand of three decades, born
from the dreams and passion of mom-and-daughter tandem of Annie Guerrero
and Badjie Trinidad, Cravings has evolved to become an eco-conscious
restaurant that cascades its green practices to its customers.
Ma’am
Annie is a known environmentalist who has published various books on how to live a waste-free lifestyle. Thus, she is also the inspiration behind the green advocacy of Cravings.
With
this Cravings is offering for the first time a “Green Christmas”
packages highlighted by a sustainable menu made with local produce and prepared through sustainable low energy zero-waste methods.

“We
want to show our customers and clients that it is possible to go green
even with your events and catering,” says Pia Trinidad, Cravings’
Business Development Head and a granddaughter of Ma’m Annie. “This is more relevant these days as we know that whatever we do has an impact on our climate and our one and only planet -- the Earth. We might as well
be responsible citizens who uphold environmentalism in our deeds and
daily life.”
The
“Green Christmas” offered by Cravings, perhaps the only one of its kind
in the market today, features two sets. The lunch/ dinner buffet menu
Set A features appetizers such as Root Crop Chips and Tomato Mango Salsa
and Annie’s Organic Salad. Hot Selections include Free Range Chicken
with Rosemary Garlic Rub, Organic Spaghetti Bolognese, and Roasted
Seasonal Vegetables. Desserts include Seasonal Fruit Platter and Table
Praline Brownies.
For
Set B, start with Sopa de Molo and Annie’s Organic Salad. Hot
Selections include Pancit Palabok, Fried Lumpiang Labong, Seared Tilapia with Coconut Pineapple Relish, and Chicken Inasal. Cap it off with
Assorted Kakanin and Seasonal Fruit Platter.
Adding
to the festive mood, one can also have Cravings’ Organic Lechon
Station, where one can feast on roast pig with crackling skin and tender
meat.
Of
course, as Cravings is known for its wide selection of food offerings,
one can also customize or create their own menu. Choose from a wide
selection of appetizers such as Tomato and Basil Bruschetta, Chicken
Liver Pate and Crostini, and Vegetable Crudite with Blue Cheese Dip.
For soup selections, there is Truffle Mushroom Soup, Seafood Chowder,
Roasted Pumpkin Soup, among others. There are also beef, pork, and
chicken selections and a wide array of pasta and vegetable dishes.
Cravings
is best known for its cakes and one should not miss the Mango de Crema,
the Salted Caramel Cake, Tres Leches, or the popular Cookies, S’mores
and Chocolate Barks.
