Sweet Treats – Page 5 – Shoot First Eat Later

Portuguese Egg Tart Showdown

I was done shopping in The Venetian’s more than 600 shops. I had more than enough siesta and I was bored silly so I did what any food blogger would do. I tested two Portuguese egg tarts for my very own showdown. First stop was the iconic Lord Stow’s Bakery located inside The Venetian. IContinue reading “Portuguese Egg Tart Showdown”

Purple Oven

I’ve heard about Purple Oven and always wanted to try their products. I finally went to their Oranbo, Pasig branch. It’s behind Dahlia motel in case you have a hard time looking for it. All the products are displayed on tables and the chiller and their staff follow you around to get your order whichContinue reading “Purple Oven”

Kozui Green Tea

I saw Kozui Green Tea featured in a magazine recently and went to try it out since I was in Quezon City anyway for my weekly acupuncture session. I thought it was a new restaurant until I saw it and realized it has been around for a number of years and I just totally forgotContinue reading “Kozui Green Tea”

The Noodle Bakes – Garth Vader

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”

I had this vision ofContinue reading “Paris: Poilâne & Secco Patisserie”

Choi Heong Yuen & Koi Kei Bakeries Macau

What do you when you stay at The Venetian Macao? You shop!!! With over 600 shops inside the hotel it’s a shopper’s dream. I hit two popular Portugese style bakeries in the Shoppes Grand Canal.

Akiba Cafe

I like December and all the food that comes with the holidays. The only thing I dislike is shopping for my godchildren. It was easy when they were kids and any toy would make them happy. Now that some are in their pre-teens and others are teenagers I didn’t know what to get them forContinue reading “Akiba Cafe”

Brownies – Ms. Polly’s & Xocolat

I knew Ms. Polly’s was famous for their chocolate cake but I didn’t know they had equally good brownies until my friend Mila sent me a box for Christmas. Thanks again for the yummy gift Mila!!! I ate a couple of brownies and kept the rest in a zip top bag in the freezer orContinue reading “Brownies – Ms. Polly’s & Xocolat”
