Sweet Treats – Page 14 – Shoot First Eat Later

Hodgepodge

I made a lot of new food discoveries on my recent trip to the USA. I compiled them into this post. From crisps, chocolates, ice cream and Spam! I bought these Canadian crisps at Whole Foods Market. They were nutty and a bit salty, a little sweet and just perfect with cheese. Fig and OliveContinue reading “Hodgepodge”

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”

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 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”

Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt

After our lunch at H.K. Choi, Deb wanted me to try Tutti Frutti yogurt. I’ve seen it before but it was my first time to try it. Tutti Frutti is a specialty frozen yogurt cafe based in the United States with branches all over the world. What makes them different from other yogurt stores isContinue reading “Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt”

Best Traditional Chocolate Cake – Karen’s Chocolate Ganache Cake

I’ve previously declared Classic Confection’s Nono’s Oblivion as the best chocolate cake. That was a special kind of chocolate cake made with praline and mousse. For the traditional 3 layer chocolate cake with filling and frosting, the best cake I’ve ever eaten is Karen’s Kitchen’s Chocolate Ganache Cake. Thanks to Maribel who sent me thisContinue reading “Best Traditional Chocolate Cake – Karen’s Chocolate Ganache Cake”

Best Sans Rival in Manila

Updated: July 11, 2014 (all prices have been updated too) I wrote this post in 2009 and never found the need to amend it until now. I’ve tried Delize’s Pistachio Sans Rival before and wasn’t impressed. A couple of weeks ago my friend brought it to a party and I fell head over heels inContinue reading “Best Sans Rival in Manila”

Chocolate Sticky Donut from Little Mermaid Bakery

There are lots of Japanese bakeries in Hong Kong and I love them all. My favorites are Panash and Little Mermaid Bakery. During my last trip I didn’t buy anything from Panash because of my diet. I tried to avoid Little Memaid too but for the sake of this blog I bought my favorite chocolateContinue reading “Chocolate Sticky Donut from Little Mermaid Bakery”

J. Abad Santos st. , San Juan

J. Abad Santos st. is becoming a vibrant food street in San Juan. It’s home to Alex III, Mann Hann, Little Store and Sandy’s Pizza. Add to that these two strip malls facing each other packed with different restaurants. On one side is Ristras, which I will feature in a separate post, Tofu store, MochaContinue reading “J. Abad Santos st. , San Juan”

Best Gelato at Cara Mia Gelateria

I attended the blessing of Cara Mia’s branch in Greenhills. Cara Mia is part of Amici restaurant. I dragged Rochelle and Chris to accompany me. The minute we sat down they brought food from Amici to our table. They served 2 kinds of pasta and pizza. Our hands down favorite was the spaghetti in oliveContinue reading “Best Gelato at Cara Mia Gelateria”
