TAGUIG CITY — A new dessert destination has opened at Verve Residences along Bonifacio South Street, introducing BGC food lovers to chef-crafted soft-serve parfaits with a Japanese twist. SOFTU is now welcoming guests eager to explore its innovative omakase menu and customizable ice cream creations.
A Curated Omakase Experience
SOFTU's signature offering is its omakase menu, a thoughtfully curated selection of premium parfaits that blend traditional soft-serve textures with Japanese and Asian-fusion ingredients. Each creation is a playful expression of the chef's craft, delivering flavors that surprise and delight the palate.
The Strawberry Lychee Blossom combines lacto-fermented strawberry and lychee with senbei, matcha crumbs, and a delicate matcha flower. Another standout, the Gochujang Honeycomb, layers honey gochujang, miso caramel, caramel tuile, and kinako crumbs for a sweet-savory contrast.
Signature Creations That Dazzle
The Tokyo Fog presents Earl Grey dark chocolate paired with orange olive oil and a black sesame tuile, offering a sophisticated flavor profile. The Miso Caramel Crunch delivers miso caramel, furikake rice krispies, and matcha crumbs, creating a textured symphony in every spoonful.
S'mores Campfire reimagines the classic campfire treat with soy sauce dark chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and rough puff. The Yuzu Mochi Brûlée features osmanthus yuzu, torched mochi, and milk crumbs, while the Mango Cheesecake Cloud blends mango chutney, cheesecake foam, and milk crumbs.
Build Your Own Soft-Serve Adventure
Beyond the omakase menu, SOFTU invites guests to build their own desserts through its customizable option. Customers choose a base swirl such as Vanilla Milk or Icelandic, then pair it with one or two toppings on a signature waffle base.
This interactive approach allows diners to experiment with flavor combinations that suit their personal preferences. The build-your-own format appeals to families, friends, and solo dessert enthusiasts looking for a fun, personalized treat. It also encourages repeat visits to try new combinations.
Rooted in Japanese Culinary Philosophy
The name SOFTU, derived from the Japanese word for soft, reflects the brand's commitment to texture and craftsmanship. The use of ingredients like matcha, miso, kinako, and furikake demonstrates a deep respect for Japanese culinary traditions while embracing creative fusion.
Each parfait is priced between ₱265 and ₱285, positioning SOFTU as an accessible luxury. The careful balance of premium ingredients and reasonable pricing makes it an attractive option for BGC's discerning diners. It fills a niche for those seeking something beyond standard ice cream.
A Sweet Addition to BGC's Dining Scene
SOFTU's location at Verve Residences places it within easy reach of offices, residences, and retail hubs. The area's growing reputation as a culinary destination makes it an ideal home for innovative dessert concepts. SOFTU adds another layer to BGC's diverse food landscape.
For residents of Verve and nearby condominiums, the dessert spot offers a convenient indulgence just steps from home. The welcoming atmosphere and creative menu encourage guests to linger and savor each bite. SOFTU is poised to become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
