*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!

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.

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

I don't think I was ever a fan of halo halo, so I was surprised that I really enjoyed my Korean…read moreshaved ice. Especially this Korean shaved ice. 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.

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.

There is no sign. There is no landmark. Just a blue door between yellow walls. That's Miss Polly's…read more If you've had a friend who lives in the south who brings delicious chocolate cake to your parties, that friend got the cake from Miss Polly's. I'm not even lying or exaggerating when I say that Miss Polly's has the best chocolate cake I've ever had. The icing isn't that sweet and it's sticky enough to stick to the rest of the cake. When you bite into your slice of cake, you'll notice that the cake is moist. For me, that's how it should be. Unfortunately, because the chocolate cake is so good, that's the only thing I've tasted from Miss Polly's. That and their chocolate cupcakes. If you've had their chocolate cake, maybe it's time to try the rest of their desserts. Don't forget to place an order a few days before you need the cake or cupcake or whatever other yummy thing they have to offer.

Everything at Cielin's Cake Shop actually tastes like it was made right out of the comforts of your kitchen.

Cielin's Cake Shop is a bit hard to locate but once you see The Good Shepherd Bazaar, you're almost near the place.

It's right in front of a church and if that's not an ingenious idea then I don't know what is. They have all sorts of goodies in this store and the prices are very affordable. I like how they've managed to give out the best prices while still maintaining the quality of their cakes. Oh you should come here when you're extremely hungry, it'll be fun I tell you. Last time I did that, I had 3 cupcakes in one sitting then brought home their famous chocolate cake for my sister. Don't ask me what I was on, it was fantastic and let me again say that I didn't have to spend so much. P500 can haul you a stash already. A cake costs around P300-P350 while cupcakes cost around P20-P25. See what I mean by inexpensive? But that doesn't mean the cakes here aren't excellent, all of them taste great! So if you ever find yourself in the area, go to mass then grab a cake. Trust me your prayers will be answered.

ICE is a small snack bar inside BF Resort Village. It's mostly an ice cream shop but they offer more than just that. They also have other snacks like hotdogs, shakes, crepes and my healthy alternative to ice cream, frozen yogurt. I wasn't able to try it though, because their soft-serve ice cream machine wasn't working when we went. But the ones we tried were good. We had pancake pizza, which was a really thin pancake topped with ham and melted cheese. The ice cream sandwich was also delicious. There are still a lot of items on the menu that I like to try, so I'll probably be back soon. This is a nice place to bring your kids (if you're going to let them eat ice cream) or to get some work done (they have free wifi).
