I first hear about it from friends and my Sans Rival experience was in Dumaguete! They're famous with their yummy treats including sans rival. And lucky we Cebuanos, there's a store inside Robinson Mall in Fuente! Yebaaaaa!!!
Sans Rival, for those who are not familiar is a famous Filipino cake of layered dessert that intersperses cashew meringue with French buttercream.
Came here to fix my sweet tooth coz Sans Rival knows how to do it properly. I got Silvanas and braso de mercedes unfortunately ni sans rival coz they're out! Not a surprise as this dessert is so famous and went here right before they close! Better luck next time!
Silvanas - Filipino frozen cookie and like Sans Rival it is base on French Dacquoise dessert cake. The buttercream is sandwiched between two cashew- meringue wafers coated with cookie crumbs. The flavor is light, crispy and nutty. It is delightfully mouthwatering and I can't stop each bite that I ended up eating 4 in one sitting. Ugh! My tooth is the happiest! LoL. They also offer different flavors (e.g., chocolate, pandan, strawberry, ube & butter).
Braso de Mercedes - another traditional Filipino meringue roll with custard filling dusted with powdery sugar. This heavenly cake is considered as one of the all-time favorites in the Philippines. Its sponge-like texture will delectably melt in your mouth while the rich custard filling makes you so "kilig" coz its sweet! Haha. I know, you shouldn't be eating this especially if your pre-diabetic, coz it's dangerously addicted.
Customer service is pretty good. The counter area was protected between plastic covers coz as you all know the Philippine itself is still strict. Dine-in is allowed but limited chairs and table. They got other stuffs other than desserts on their menu like lunch and all-day breakfast.
The next time you're in Philippines, you gotta visit Sans Rival and try their delectable desserts! It won't disappoint you.
