Peanut butter lovers in Manila rejoice! There’s a new cake in town that’s calling out to you, “eat me, eat me!” It’s quite difficult to find good peanut butter desserts in Manila. The only one I’ve enjoyed before this cake is Wildflour’s peanut butter banana cream pie. It’s much easier to find matcha flavored desserts. I’veContinue reading “The Noodle Bakes – Garth Vader”

Yamato Bakery Cafe
Right next to Mitsuyado Sei-Men is a bread lovers haven called Yamato Bakery Cafe owned by the same group. I noticed diners waiting for a table at Mitsuyado were there shopping for bread.

Kitchen’s Best Home Patisserie
When I received an invitation to partake of a dessert buffet it didn’t take me 5 seconds to reply a big YES!I must confess I wasn’t aware that Kitchen’s Best Home Patisserie had a store in the Fort.

Spanish Themed Birthday Dinner
I cook only once or twice a year. This year the first time was last month when I treated my friends for my birthday celebration. For dinner I decided on a Spanish theme to reminisce on all the wonderful tapas and Spanish food I ate on my recent trip to Spain. One of our favoriteContinue reading “Spanish Themed Birthday Dinner”
Florence: Robiglio
I wish we had more days to try out all the coffee and sweets shops in Florence. After Caffé Gilli we tried Robiglio next.

These cookies were just whatContinue reading “Florence: Caffè Gilli”

Maya Cake Mixes
I never buy cake mixes or instant stuff. My belief is if I can’t make it from scratch or buy the finished product why bother. But when Maya sent me samples of their ready to make mixes I made them without any expectations. Maya Hotcake, Banana Cake & Butter Cake Mixes Maya Cake Mix instructionsContinue reading “Maya Cake Mixes”

My friend and co-blogger Jin invited to try out her new cake creations at UCC Vienna Cafe. She promised to feed me first so after a long perusal of the menu I finally found something healthy and almost “Cohen” approved. The yakiniku beef was so tender and flavorful with all the sauce that I didn’tContinue reading “New Cakes from UCC Vienna Cafe”
