*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!

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!).

I am not a luxurious type of woman, that's something I've figured out long ago. I have a set of…read morelittle joys that I try to maintain in my life and one of them is Mr. Moo's Kesong Puti. For those of you that don't know what it is, kesong puti is our answer to the highly-coveted dairy products around the world. It's white cheese similar to cottage cheese made from unskimmed carabao's milk. It has a soft texture and a slightly salty taste. I place kesong puti on almost everything I eat; on toast, on baked tomatoes or in my salad. It adds zing to my meals, especially the kesong puti from Mr. Moo's. They have other things too like fresh carabao's milk and organic soaps but the best thing they sell here is their kesong puti. Tips: 1. Buy a baguette from the French Baker (it's on the right side of Mr. Moo's) slather kesong puti on it, drizzle with herbs then toast until golden brown.

I love their Strawberry milk, kesong puti and pastillas. Their products are really delicious :)read more

You'd immediately notice the simple yet elegant appeal of Café Seol Hwa. True enough, it reflects on their bingsu creations as well. Presentation of each bowl of fine ice definitely looks Instagram worthy. I highly recommend the green tea bingsu. It's a towering concoction of a hint of bitterness from the matcha that cancels out the cloying factor, sweetness from red bean and loads of nuts (almonds, cashews!) hidden inside! A single serving is good enough for 2 people. Would definitely go back to try their coffee and savory items on the menu.

Service was kinda slow to approach us to take order and then it took a minute for them to bring the food . I can say the wait for the food well worth the wait . The food was hot and the cheese was the right amount of Gooey to the pasta. The sauce was just right and not to much in excess . The bread was toasted just right . Will try at least once more before leaving the Philippines:

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.

Japanese dessert Mochiko closed to make way for Milkbox. Owners are still the same so you could…read morestill savor mochi and FIC flavors. It's cute hipster-ish interiors provide only 10 seats. 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.

When you order a halo-halo at Razon's, your glass will be filled with sweet macapuno, slices of matamis na saging na saba, finely crushed ice, drizzled with milk and topped with slivers of Leche Flan. Few as they are, the combination of these ingredients make a rich and delectable dessert. The Razon's halo-halo has that wow factor in that when people get one for themselves, they look like they hit the jackpot. Well, it's true for me and the rest of my family. There are still a lot to love from Razon's of Guagua aside from their ever famous halo-halo. Their Pancit Luglug is so worth the wait. It's the best luglug that I have tasted so far! I ordered Puto to go with my pancit and they turned out to be a good combination. We would sometimes buy some of their San Nicolas cookies. My Dad loves them because they taste not too sweet, just right for him. It would be useless to read this review and not do anything. Get up and go to the nearest Razon's of Guagua and get a taste of Pampanga's pride!

There are plenty of places out there to get cake, but few are as great in terms of value as Banapple Pies and Cheescakes. I got introduced to this by my sisters who are so sweet. They come home sometimes carrying desert with them. That one time they came home they had this simple looking chocolate cake. I ended up eating a slice more than I should. They told me that the cake was from Banapple and that you could only get it from the North. I am so happy that they decided to open a Banapple Pies and Cheescakes here in the south, at Alabang Town Center no less. This place always gets my vote when we go out for dinner and start asking each other what we'll have for dessert.
