MAKATI CITY — Makati dessert lovers now have another reason to visit Rockwell as La Pastisseria by El Born brings its popular cheesecake to The Grid Food Market at Power Plant Mall. Located at Stall 15 on the R2 Level of Rockwell Center, the new outpost gives Makati residents and visitors a chance to try the celebrated El Born cheesecake without heading to BGC. Set within the relaxed food hall, the spot offers the signature dessert alongside several flavors and a limited-edition collaboration.
A Basque Cheesecake From Barcelona
The cheesecake is the creation of Barcelona-born chef David Amorós, head chef and co-owner of El Born. His version of the Basque burnt cheesecake features a deeply caramelized exterior and a rich, molten center, creating the contrast that has made the dessert a standout. The original combines mascarpone, vanilla, lemon zest, and Maldon salt flakes, resulting in a creamy profile balanced by subtle citrus and savory notes. Diners can also explore rotating flavors such as Catalan Cream, Cookies & Cream, Matcha, and Coffee & Cacao, offering different takes on the signature cheesecake.
From Individual Slices to Celebration Sizes
El Born’s cheesecake comes in different sizes depending on the occasion. The range makes it possible to enjoy the dessert individually or bring a larger cake to gatherings and celebrations. Adding to the lineup is a limited-edition collaboration with Siargao-based Roots. The Mango and Lato Cheesecake combines mango with lato, or sea grapes, for a creamy dessert with a light crust. The special flavor is available exclusively until September 21, giving dessert hunters a limited window to try the collaboration.
