But they have about 14 other bingsus to choose from. They really follow the mantra of do a few things exceptionally instead of a lot of things but just average. It was cold, it was delicious and it really hit that sweet spot. It wasent overly sweet but u knew for sure it was a dessert. The strawberries were fresh and quite delicious. The pieces of cream cheese was good as well. And the strawberry drizzle or jam was throughout the bingsu. We got the regular size which was quite enough for one person. It was an excellent treat while walking the hot streets of manila!!

If not, oh man, I guess you've just been missing out on half of your life until this moment. I'm an absolute sweet tooth... I could be throwing up because I overate but leave room for dessert anyway. Having said that, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to good cakes because I've tried so many of them. Camille Ocampo's The Pastry Cart is a business that is pure genius. More than being a business, it's all about good dessert. The San Marcos is also known as the creme brûlée cake. Text Camille for an order and for the complete list of her offerings. Sugar-free San Marcos is also available.

This…read morehas got to be one of the best cakes I've ever tasted and worth every single peso in my wallet. Numerous posts of their Crème Brulee cake has scattered online especially in foodie social media accounts. Ms. Camille Ocampo is the brainchild of this heavenly invention and you can place your order anytime and pick it up in their Valle Verde branch. Originally called the San Marcos cake that has evolved to Crème Brulee cake, it is just how you imagine a Crème Brulee getting an oversized treatment. Soft and moist chiffon cake topped with caramelized sugar is just perfect. It comes in a big box similar to Tiffany and Co's color scheme called Tiffany Blue so it's definitely a stand out. For the price of 900 pesos, this cake is worth every calorie.

Every time I have a meal at Bonifacio Stopover, I MUST have dessert here. From the moment I tried…read moretheir Bingsu, I knew I was hooked! It's definitely the place for me to go to for my Bingsu Fix. The place is quite spacious and I love staying by the window side of the cafe. It overlooks BGC; nice and bright in the afternoon. If it's your first time to try Bingsu, go for the fruity options: Strawberry or Mango Cheese. For me, I always get a regular size of the Injeolmi Bingsu and Mango. For the Injeolmi, you'll be surprised with the amount of rice cake cubes in it! Each spoonful you'll scoop up a good portion of finely shaved milk ice + rice cake + soy bean powder. I always love the bite and the chewiness. On my last visit, they now have a new flavor: Match Bingsu! Definitely a must try! If you want something different, try the sweet potato bread with injeolmi. It's not too sweet but quite filling. Very tasty and worth a try. Right now, you can get condensed milk for free at the side! Don't put too much though. The Bingsus are sweet enough! :P

Must be the record-breaking heat we've been having. Or maybe they're just really good. Located at the 3rd floor of Bonifacio Stopover, Hobing is a little hidden - the establishments beside it are salons, nail spas, a gym. It's a great location though for a dessert place to move to after having lunch - considering the 1st and 2nd floors of Bonifacio Stopover are full of places to eat! The shaved ice itself is really smooth and soft, and comes with its own flavor to match whatever toppings are on the shaved ice. And what makes it even better - they don't skimp on the toppings. If you order the strawberry bingsu, you'll find a lot of strawberries on top and inside the ice as well. They also offer toast and other snacks, but people come mostly for the shaved ice. I'm not surprised but when there are a lot of people, it could take some time for your order to come. And this place also gets full during weekends. I also wish they had wifi. Or maybe it's better that they didn't so people would leave quicker and give others a chance at shaved ice goodness. I love this place and will come back! With this heat, I hope they make a serving that I can dip my whole body into so I can roll around in snowy soft shaved ice.

My friend kept telling us that we have to try this Korean shaved ice, I'd never had it before and…read moreit wasn't on my list of must tries but finally we went along and I'm glad we did, first of all the regular size could be shared with multiple people so I would say try that size first and see what you think, we were a group of 4 adults and a child and we split 4 of them, it's a small store but there was enough space since it wasn't crowded at the time, the prices are inexpensive but that's in my opinion with my USD, the flavors we tried were mango, choc/matcha, Ube and strawberry, I can't compare to other shaved ice since it was the first time I had it but I enjoyed it, the fruits were fresh and flavors good, it's something I would go back and try again especially because it's not really dairy based besides the ice cream on some of them, I'm here for another week and I'm sure I'll have it again before leaving

Ambience is A+ because their interior and outdoor seating areas complement the comfort food & drink they offer. They have comfy seats, background music, free wifi and restroom so it's easy to stay long in their place to do work. Plus, they have plugs for those who have laptops. The staff is friendly and first-time customers get cool recommendations on snacks, meals and desserts. I highly suggest their Xocolat chicken pasta, Xoco latte, and double choco chip cheesecake. For something different, salads and panini are also at the top of my list. I surely will come back to Café Xocolat to satisfy my sweet tooth! ;)

A lot of couples seem to agree to this sentiment, because one would usually find a lot of them hanging out Xocolat in Katipunan, which is also one of my hangout spots in this area of Quezon City. The dishes here are very intriguing, as most of the items in the menu have a surprising kick of chocolate. For instance, the Chocolate Chicken Pasta may sound a bit weird, but I would not miss it for the world. The creamy pasta is counterbalanced by the tart bite of bitter chocolate, and the chicken, which is apparently marinated in cacao nibs, has that peppery flavor. For dessert, nothing beats the house special which is pompously named "That Chocolate Cake" , which is a rich and dense chocolate cake base frosted with a generous layer of silky and shiny ganache. There is a cute X whipped on top of the cake, as if to mark the spot where your chocolate dreams come true to the fullest extent. I think That Chocolate Cake comes close second to my mom's very own recipe, and I would crave this when I'm feeling homesick. The prices are quite friendly to a student's budget, and the place, with its indie and hip vibe, is also a very welcoming oasis amid commercialized and crowded establishments that have sprouted in the surrounding area.

I've heard of this place a few times but never really bothered to search for where it was, until my…read morefriend and I surprisingly stumbled upon it while looking for dessert. Hidden from street view in a narrow alley beside National Bookstore, it's one of those blink-and-you-won't-even-see-it spots - a (literally) cool one at that. With light blue walls, white table sets, and glass fixtures hanging from the ceiling, it felt like we stepped right into an icy wonderland (it even rained while we were chilling inside). Since I love coffee and she loves chocolate, we ordered single scoops of their Sunrise Surprise and Nociolla ice cream respectively. It's prepared from scratch (you'll see a mass of cloud-like vapor coming from the mixers) and the servers even make a show of pouring extra liquid nitrogen into your cup as they serve it (more clouds!). There are also party trays full of popcorn, marshmallows, and chocolate wafers that you can freeze-dip yourself (remember when we all "smoked" Stick-O's as kids?). When it comes to this new type of frozen treats, Winter Garden is a true special snowflake.

Every now and then we all like to take a break from the monstrous and grease smothered burgers that…read morewe love. There are times when we feel like eating something lite yet flavourful. On those days, I visit Winter Garden. Their normal sized burgers satisfy my tastebuds overtime without leaving me bloated and lethargic. To top it off, their nitrogen scream and desserts also offer a new "nitrogen" experience. I've always found the place quite and not crowded. Perfect for get togethers with friends or maybe even a date.

So having one right next door is a God send. On our accidental run in we ended up just getting the soft serve which I didn't even know existed and boy oh boy was I blown away. It was better than I could have ever imagined. Make sure you buy one or twelve of these frozen miracles the next time you are here. Also buy as many cookies as you can as well because you will immediately regret not getting more the moment you get home. Im kicking myself for having eaten lunch just a little while earlier because my big eye was not on alert and I left with absolutely zero cookies. Still, I had my frozen soft serve treat so ultimately I won this day.

I went here with friends and we got a booth upstairs. It wasn't too loud so I was able to get some studying done. I ordered an iced hazelnut latte and it was good! Maybe kind of pricey it was 160P. Didn't try the food but the cakes are 100 plus for a slice. Come here for the studying environment. It is very cute. I was here on a Friday night and it wasn't completely packed. Hopefully I can go here earlier in the day so I can really study all day here. It is open until 3am! My issue is that there is no wifi...only good thing is that less distractions but sometimes you just need some good wifi while studying. Excited to come back here and study even more :)

But what I love about this cafe is their booths for seating. If you are fond of sitting in the floor or lying down, then this place is for you! It's a great place to hang out with your friends, chill and it is also a great place for study. They have ample electric outlets which make them also a great place to work or charge your gadgets. One downside is that they don't have wifi, which is one of the things I consider for a perfect hangout place. But if you do want to really talk and hangout with your friends, this will be a good place for you.
