The combination of the glazed fruits and moist strawberry chiffon is worth the hype. It's so good you would want it for your birthday. Cakes are all reasonably priced; actual rates may vary: * Slice of Strawberry Shortcake costs Php80 * 6" Small Round Cake at Php 375 * 8" Medium Round Cake at Php 610 * 10" Large Cake at Php 1065 * 10x14 Cake at Php 1950 * 12x16 Cake at Php2 800 Tried a variety of slices including Lemon Torte, Ube Cake, and Carrot Cake paired up with brewed coffee. Whether you're going for a dessert of full meal, they also serve rice meals, salads, pizza, and pasta. Went here after dinner so I asked the best-sellers instead. According to the staff, ribs and tapa is also a crowd favorite. Service is pretty fast despite the number of customers. They also have a branch in Camp John Hay. I brought home a whole round cake and it survive the 5-hour drive to Manila but we have to finish it the same day to keep the freshness.

What a difference a year makes…read more I was here a year ago and was happy to learn they've stayed consistent with their service as well as their food offerings. They've been like this since I began coming through 5 or so years ago which is why I keep coming back. Consistency is always key! So when I returned one year later, I expected the same. However, I was met with a bit of disappointment. Party of 8, we were seated immediately. I was surprised it isn't more crowded especially when it's supposed to be a lunch rush hour. Big Bro and I kinda had an idea what we wanted but we skimmed through the menu anyway - just in case. We were bummed they no longer have the tuyonesca, but we understand menus change a lot. But we were happy to learn they still have the ATM pizza! Added my usual squid ink pasta. Curious about the pesto marinara pasta as well as the fish and chips. (I know that sounds like a lot for two people, but we shared this with the rest of our party. And I just really wanted a taste.) The squid ink pasta was still on point! Check! PASTA BOLOGNESE: This is actually Hubbers' plate. No disappointment here. Has a slight kick which added to the dish's character. I liked it. FISH AND CHIPS: This would have been great if they didn't use old oil. That aroma was unmistakable and that kinda took away the dish's main essence. Batter was thin and crispy and the fish was soft and flaky. The seasoning was on point as well. If it didn't have that old oil smell, this would have been perfect. PESTO MARINARA PASTA: Okay, so Big Bro and I ordered this because how would they mix pesto AND marinara sauce at the same time? Welp... that's exactly what happened here. The marinara sauce was more a base, topped with pesto pasta. I liked it more than I thought I would. The pasta was cooked al dente and the bread was a good pairing. ATM PIZZA: The pièce de resistance, the one thing Big Bro and I were looking forward to. (Before I move on, I asked our server if we have the option of getting this thin crust - she said they don't offer it that way. No worries.) Anyway. Big Bro and I each got a slice and I immediately knew it was off before I even took a bite. First, the crust was so thick, it barely cooked through, so the toppings under all that cheese also barely cooked through. Second, the mushroom and tomato flavors and aroma were abundant. I gave it a few more little bites looking for the anchovy part of this pizza, and guess what: it's missing. It was disappointing enough to ask the server if she could ask the chef about it. She came back saying the anchovy has been mixed in the sauce. That was a challenge to believe as well because neither one of us got even the tiniest hint that there was anchovy in this pizza. VERDICT: I had to plow through my slice. Big Bro barely finished his. It really was a let down. FOOD: 3.5. Saving grace here is the squid ink pasta. SERVICE: 4.5. Out server was patient with us. Service with a smile is always a plus! VALUE: 3. Barely worth it, PARKING: Private lot. Street parking also available. OVERALL: 3.5. A slight demotion. I had recently bought anchovy flakes, so an idea came to mind: bring home the pizza, top it with anchovy flakes, warm it up using the air fryer and cross fingers. It ended up tasting much like the way we had it at Mrs. Bakers on our first run. At least the rest of the leftover pizza didn't go to waste. But I'm not counting them out just yet. So long as they're around, I'll keep coming back. I just hope the disappointment ends here...

Goldilocks is a very well known bakery based in the Philippines and is pretty much a cultural fact…read moreof life for Filipinos. Their story is nothing short of a fairy tale (like their namesake) and have shops all over the world. This particular Goldilocks location is located in Stern Mall next to CSI Supermarket. It's just a little store, but stocked with all the basics: polvoron, cakes, pastries, & some drinks. It was my son's birthday and I needed a cake. We quickly browsed through their display case of already made cakes and ended up getting 2! They can customize cakes as well, but we didn't have time for that. So, we settled on an 8" round tres leches cake and 18" (or so) ube roll cake. They couldn't write on the tres leches cake due to the decoration, but for an extra 10 pesos (or something ridiculously cheap), they could do a custom message on the ube roll cake. "Happy birthday Ethan" it was. The writing was so nostalgic for me. They've been doing this "style" since I was little. It's like nothing has changed. Haha. The workers had me check if everything was to my liking before quickly packing it up in these nice boxes. Super quick and easy. Best of all, it was cheap (~$15). They kept pretty well on our drive home despite the hot weather and it was just the right amount for everyone at the party. As far as taste goes... the tres leches cake wasn't true tres leches and was missing the topping. It was still delicious, but a little dry. Definitely needed the cream and it would've been perfect! I just added a condensed milk cream to it and I was golden. The ube roll was tasty as well! My kiddo enjoyed it. Overall, 4 stars and a solid choice for all your cake needs.

Wow. What a crying shame and a serious surprise that I'm the first person to review The Cake Shack…read morebecause dang, this business changed my life with their gorgeous, alluring Rainbow Cake. Apart from their most popular offering, the girls behind TCS also craft cakes for any celebration be it a wedding, birthday party, anniversary, or what have you. The city-famous Rainbow Cake is made of the moistest butter cake and complemented with rich lemon cream cheese butter cream between every layer. But that's not it -- it's topped with whipped cream as well. The moment that I laid eyes on it at a friend's birthday party, I knew I had to try it. And I'm so glad I put in an order because it was heart-stopping. It was plain to see that there's no scrimping or cheap ingredients used by the creators. Just a whole lot of heart and goodness.

I love the way this chef thinks. While people tend to look outward for flavors, some tend to forget…read morethat we have a great palette of flavors to work with right here! Case in point, the way the Baker's Table takes candy from your childhood and uses it as the backdrop for pastry. Personally, I think it's brilliant. Candy's everywhere yet they've managed to take something so mundane and repackage it into something absolutely fitting. Three words, people: Butterball Caramel Cake. Predictable as I am, that was all it took to convince me of its brilliance. I love the fact that they never lose the essence of the candy. It's right there even if you're eating a piece of cake. They don't even commit the usual sins most bakeries do. The cake isn't dry and it isn't cloyingly sweet. Perfect with a cup of coffee (or tea, as my case was). I really can't say too much about this place. Candy has this sort of effect on people where no two experiences will ever be the same. It's really the kind of cake that's better experienced than read about.

Despite me living a few minutes away, I first saw them on TV, baking their bestseller: Haw Haw cake. I'd always loved that candy, and I still do. I buy some from sari-sari stores whenever I can, so I didn't waste time and headed straight to the bakery. That cake is such a hit. They didn't have any in stock during my visit so I had to drop by the next day. To my horror. I went back first thing in the morning and sure enough, a whole cake was there waiting for me. I think a single slice costs around Php 125, which isn't really bad. We're talking about premium cakes here. The Haw Haw cake reminded me of tres leches, for some reason. Light chiffon, a little moist. It has a thin cream filling and the frosting tasted exactly like the candy, only better.

First place we dined at when we arrived in the Philippines. This place does not disappoint…read more We were seated right away and brought menus and ordered bottled waters. We ordered grilled bangus, pinakbut and steamed rice. We didn't wait long and the food came out hot. The bangus was delicious and skin was crispy. The pinakbut was awesome and wasn't too salty. The ambiance was chill. Server was attentive and pleasant. Restaurant is a good size but not too large. There is more seating for larger or private groups in the back. The decor is very authentic Filipino design which I love about it that brings back old memories. Next time we visit Pangasinan again, we'll make it a point to dine here. We love this place. The restaurant is located on San Miguel very near Robinson's in Calasiao.

I can't believe it's taken this long for me to write a review about Dagupena…read more I remember coming to this place as a kid many times when we lived nearby, but it wasn't until about a year and half ago when I finally came to visit as an adult. Party of 12, my aunt just did all the ordering for us. Big Bro and I remember just loving EVERYTHING. Fast forward a few months later, it was a must have for lunch. This time, party of 8, we decided a repeat of a few things. The sizzling bangus was a must have as it is the one thing they're known for. I saw the lumpia bangus as their special, so I had to have that as well. Drunken shrimp was also a must, and orders of calamari, pinakbet, bagoong fried rice, grilled prawns and crispy pata followed. And just like the last time, everything was fantastic. The sizzling bangus, marinated in perfection, was delicious as always. The shrimp, geezus, I couldn't stop eating. It was like popcorn on crack, it was gone in a minute. The pinakbet with fresh veggies was amazing. I only ordered the bagoong fried rice out of curiosity, but nothing above par. Ditto the lumpia bangus, but it's definitely something I would order again. Crispy pata was seasoned crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Didn't get to try the prawns as that was GodNiece's grub, but I heard good things. Seriously, though, we all left with the happies. We all succumbed to food coma not too long after. FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 3. It was a challenge trying to catch our server's attention, but I have to mention it is NOT his fault. They were clearly understaffed and overwhelmed. I hope upper management does something about this. VALUE: 5. Worth it. PARKING: Private. It can get full, but security guard will help guide you to a spot. OVERALL: 5. They have a true following which is why they've been around for about a century. It doesn't matter what day or time you come through - they will get packed. Just hope a table is available for you and your party upon arrival. One of me and Big Bro's favorite restaurants. Highly HIGHLY recommending.
