During my first visit to Cebu, my friend was raving (she bugged me almost every day til the trip) that I must go to La Marea. This dessert place is known for one dessert: Brownie Cups. It's basically brownie which they cook in a microwave. So, hearing that they were famous for a simple dessert like that, my expectations were pretty low.
My friends and I were the only customers that day and it was raining. So, we decided to order a few brownies to share and coffee. I ordered the Classic Warm Brownie Cup and a slice of Frozen Brazo de Mercedes cake. When the brownie arrived, it was still bubbling and was topped with ice cream. The brownie was not too sweet and was gooey in the middle. I was actually happy it was gooey in the middle and I was able to have a spoonful of ice cream with every bite. The Frozen Brazo was my favorite dessert though! It had a layer of ice cream too and it was sooo creamy. Loved it!
They serve other baked goodies like Sylvannas and they have other flavors for the brownie cups. I also recommend their green tea creme brulee and the apple pie. :) read more
