*Note: This is a 4.5 Star review…read more Since the past weeks have been very, very hot and humid, I've been craving for cold desserts. My new favorite dessert at the moment is Bingsu! While I was down South, my friends and I decided that it would be great to end the night with something icy to cool down. We actually weren't sure where to get Bingsu but, thankfully, we found this hidden gem at Molito. Bingsu is basically the Korean version of shaved ice or halo halo. Imagine soft, icy snow with condensed milk poured on top then add any toppings of your liking: from mochi to fresh fruit to brownies! We arrived almost to closing time but they still allowed us to order. We decided to try the regular size of the Injeolmi, Mix Berry Yogurt, and Mango (of course!). There was a bit of wait since we were the last order and they ran out of ingredients and had to prep for more. So, we waited for about 15-20 minutes. While we were waiting, we decided to hangout in their "Snow Room"! Yes, they have a small room in the café where "snow" falls from the ceiling. Pretty cool making snowballs! :) After hanging out in the snow, our bingsu orders arrived. Among the 3 that we ordered, the best was actually the Injeolmi! It's was the most traditional one and it was also the most flavorful. It had the right amount of sweetness and it was packed with ingredients. The Mix Berry Yogurt was tart and had dried fruit which added the sweetness. The Mango Bingsu was a winner. But, I always ended up going back for more spoonfuls of the Injeolmi! The one common factor for all the Bingsu we ate though is that the ice was sooo fine, fluffy and creamy. One of the best quality bingsu I've tried so far! I will definitely come back when I'm in the South again. I hope I'll be able to try their Cheese Bingsu next time! :)

Ok so I've read all the reviews and decided today was the day to go have some dessert, because our…read moredinner sucked royally and needed a pick me up to end the night out on a good note. The snow room in the cafe was a pretty fun touch. The desserts they serve were certainly fun and just the goodness we needed. We ordered the chocolate snow ice, the small one, certainly, it was enough for two to share as a dessert. I'm used to the Taiwanese snow ice and this is certainly something new. Reminded me of the snow ice, but the ice was really flakey and soft, super fun for the palette. The chocolate wasn't overly sweet and was just plain enjoyable. We were already eyeballing the menu for our next visit and scoping out the other tables. It all looks so good!! If you need a cool pick me up... This should certainly do the trick! We hope to visit again soon and try everything eventually :) A la cuisine! Stay hungry my friends!

Delicious and surprisingly, affordable. They serve their classic churros fresh and hot, and the hot chocolate dip dark and rich. Everything about it makes me think of #rainydaygoals hahaha. Their chocolate-covered churros are served cold, which can be paired perfectly with their latte. We had those big order of classic churros (around 12?), a couple of flavored ones (Dulce de Leche for the win!) and some choco-coated churros for a little over 500 pesos. Not bad, eh? I must say, I'm quite impressed with their menu and value for money. I'll definitely be back soon to try their breakfast sets (French Toast sounds good!).

Not bad - cute presentation and yummy ice cream!…read more I ordered the Tres Leche waffle dish. I do think the waffle could have wowed me more, but the black sesame ice cream was good. Also, I love the bits of cereal and flowers as a topping. (Although, you don't really taste the flowers.) It also came with a tiny jar of milk to pour. It tasted great, but it was honestly more worth it for the photo op than the taste? They def get props for the beautiful presentation! I would come back to try the other ice cream flavors. My only gripe is that the waffle is kinda basic. I've had much better Belgian style waffles elsewhere.

So it gets cramped anytime of the day. They list their specialties as coffee, wonuts (love children of donut-waffles) and thick milkshakes. We only tried the Tres Leches waffles with 2 scoops of ice cream (Php 275) after seeing it on one of my fave food blogger's feed. I was skeptical on ordering since their waffles were just hanging out on the kitchen counter (no cover, looking dry). Anyway, it came out 10 minutes after looking pretty as a picture with a bottle of milk as a soak. Not sure where are the other 2 kinds of milk but I liked the crisp crumble on top of it. Kinda expensive and would instead get waffles at the ubiquitous Belgian Waffles. Ice cream is pretty good though. Overall, not a spectacular dessert. Good for sharing.

Last time I went they only had 4 ice cream flavors on their menu, but hopefully this increases cause I think their ice cream is the main selling point. I love their Milo dinosaur gelato because of both the flavor and the texture! It was rich and creamy without being so dense, and the idea behind it is interesting and out-of-the-box just like their other flavors. Service was slow but acceptable considering they'd just opened. Worth coming back to! Looking forward to trying their other dishes as well.

Another addition to BF Homes' vast selection of must-try's is Outré, a dessert place that serves…read moreliquid nitrogen gelato and yummy comfort food. Liquid nitrogen gelato is not that different from the regular ice cream but what makes it worth trying is that you are assured of its freshness. FYI, it's made from fresh cow's milk. Upon ordering, the ice cream of your choice is made right in front of you by their well-trained staff. In just a few minutes, and with a little help from liquid nitrogen, they can turn milk into a smooth and creamy ice cream. If you're a coffee lover, I highly recommend their Tiramisu ice cream topped with a piece of broas. It's really good! A cup costs around Php 150.00 but the serving is generous enough for two. They also serve pasta and sandwiches that are just as good. They are still improving on their menu but it doesn't make the experience any different.

This is a charming homey restaurant in Westgate. I brought a friend here for dessert. She has…read morenever been here. My friend ordered strawberry shortcrepe and was disappointed that the strawberry was a jam rather than fresh ones. Even then, the jam was minuscule. Instead, it had plenty of strawberry syrup. She liked the crepe itself and thought the strawberry ice cream was delicious. I ordered the Pinay crepe that had plenty of fresh mangoes and chocolate syrup. It did not come with ice cream so I ordered chocolate ice cream as a supplement. I enjoyed every bite because the crepe was warm and the right amount of supple. Surprisingly, it was not too sweet. Hubby ordered the mango crepe with Grand Marnier and coffee ice cream. He enjoyed it. Coming here every time we come to the Philippines has become our tradition. It is comfort food and the service is always excellent.

They serve their crepes on their signature blue and white plates and the interiors haven't changed much too. I always request them to make my crepe a bit crunchy to have more texture. Their coffee and their burgers are good too. Overall happy that this place is still doing well and that they've maintained consistency over the years.

At first, I did not want to even touch the cartoonized dog cake we bought, I only wished to stare at it forever. However, my fork betrayed me and I landed my first slice, followed by another...and another...until I shared it with no one else. Hah! For me, it's best to be eaten cold, as the icing may melt. Their icing tastes like heaven, like literally tastes like clouds. It mixes well with their chiffon cake, and the inner filling through the layers. They also come with adorable accessories such as ribbons on top and also two lang candles to use or to keep. Tip: you can hold the cakes using one hand, so now you know...you have the ability not to let others have YOUR cake.

The classics compose of favorites that will never go away. It's food that you will always remember, a staple that will remain indefinitely. It will never require revisions or any additions for it is already seen as close to perfection. Take for example the classic butter cake from Vargas Kitchen. It's been around for many years now and it has withstood the test of time and magnitude of our trendy food scene- and all within reason. Nothing out there comes close to perfection except perhaps the most buttery cake in all of Manila. Tips: 1. First-timers? Start off with the Vargas butter cake then proceed with their brazo de mercedes. 2. You can also buy food good for a party. I highly recommend their bacalao and Illongo pork chicken adobo.

Baby Cakes, hidden in the basement of Evia Lifestyle Center, and seemingly out of place beside a hardware, a pet shop, a salon, ATMs, and the restrooms. But it can't be denied that it's a pretty little store. True to its name, it displays the daintiest of cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and other desserts. My sister and I sampled the classic Red Velvet Cupcake, and it did not disappoint. I hate crumbly (as opposed to moist) cupcakes, and this one was moist, with a balanced frosting to cake ratio. It was not too sweet, too! The next time you find yourself at Evia and you want a little something to satisfy your sweet tooth or to bring home to your loved ones, look for this tiny sweet shop and discover its treasures.
