I’m not a big fan of cupcakes. I don’t remember the last time I ate one. I didn’t even join the cupcake craze that hit Manila a couple of years ago. I did hear a lot about Georgetown Cupcakes from my cousins who raved about it. Sharon promised to let me try them so IContinue reading “Georgetown Cupcakes”

Pitango Gelato
I like gelato, ice cream, frozen yogurt and other cold desserts but I’m not crazy about them. If there’s some I’ll eat it but if there’s none I won’t go looking for it. I’d rather have a good cookie, cake or chocolate for dessert. Since Pitango Gelato was right next door to The Counter weContinue reading “Pitango Gelato”
We walk, we eat – Bi-Rite Creamery & Bakeshop
The last stop in our “we walk, we eat” day of eating and walking was Bi-Rite Creamery which was on the same street as Tartine Bakery. It’s lauded by many as one of the best sources for ice cream in San Francisco. We went into Bi-Rite market looking for the ice cream. This small neighborhoodContinue reading “We walk, we eat – Bi-Rite Creamery & Bakeshop”
We walk, we eat – Tartine Bakery & Cafe
We’re are almost at the end of the “we walk, we eat” restaurant walking tour. Tartine was my one and only request from Ariel. I’ve read about it in several forums. I’ve seen it featured in several food tv shows. They all said it’s the one place visitors should not miss when in San Francisco.Continue reading “We walk, we eat – Tartine Bakery & Cafe”
Pineapple Cake from Chiate Bakery
One of the things on my shopping list for Taipei was pineapple cakes from Chiate Bakery. I tried my first pineapple cake when I was a child visiting Taipei. I never liked the thick dry crust and overly sweet filling. But when a friend of my dad’s gave him a box of pineapple cake fromContinue reading “Pineapple Cake from Chiate Bakery”
Fling Frozen Yogurt and more Tagaytay pictures
After lunch at Antonio’s and shopping at Bag of Beans we went to Taal Vista Hotel to take the prerequisite photos with the Taal volcano as a backdrop. Parking at the hotel for those who don’t eat or stay there was P100 but with some chutzpah I got our parking stub validated at the restaurant.Continue reading “Fling Frozen Yogurt and more Tagaytay pictures”
Dessert at The Ice Cream Bar – flavors by FIC
After dinner at Lu we walked next door for dessert at the ice cream bar. The ice cream was from FIC or Fruits in Ice Cream, a premium brand of ice cream in Manila. I’m a big fan of thei creamy ice cream and delicious flavors. I think they can compete with imported brands inContinue reading “Dessert at The Ice Cream Bar – flavors by FIC”
Dinner at Sweet Dynasty
This was my first time to go to the new location of Sweet Dynasty. It used to occupy a smaller space down the road. The decor was very basic except for the rosewood furniture. Now the restaurant is a two-storey modern and gold wonder. We went there on a Sunday night and the huge secondContinue reading “Dinner at Sweet Dynasty”
Dessert at Yoh-gurt Froz
After the very unsatisfying and disappointing desserts we had at Romulo Cafe we found an urgent need to cleanse our palate with something cool, refreshing and not fattening. Is there such a thing? The answer is a big YES! We found the solution in Yoh-gurt Froz with their non-fat frozen yogurts. Luckily they had aContinue reading “Dessert at Yoh-gurt Froz”
Honeymoon Dessert
After dinner at Te we went next door to have dessert at Honeymoon Dessert. I never had such a hard time choosing dessert. In a western restaurant my choice would almost always contain the word chocolate. In Honeymoon Dessert you won’t find the word chocolate anywhere. What you will see are the words sweet balls,Continue reading “Honeymoon Dessert”
