  1. Chocolate overload in Cebu

    July 16, 2009 by ajay

    After our dessert overload in Bacolod, it’s now time for my little chocolate interlude in Cebu. It’s not really intentional. Just so happened that when every time I asked the waitstaff about the house bestseller, they always pointed to chocolate cakes on their glass display counter.

    Don’t ask me which among Bacolod and Cebu won in the dessert category. The only thing I can say for certain is that overloading on their sweets can make you (willingly) fat :D I have to admit that since Cebu is a bigger city, the food scene there is more exciting. In fact, I wanna go back there soon, since some of the restos and cafes cannot be found in Manila!

    Take for example Dessert Factory in Ayala Terraces which is the city’s version of the new Greenbelt Park.I immediately warmed to this coffeeshop because of the interiors and colors they used. Predominantly purple motif, plus the servers were wearing jester’s hats! The cafe had nice little touches which could compete with the cakes for your attention.

    Since I was on a taste mission, the server recommended Achocolypse Now (P75), a three-layer cake with chocolate ganache that wasn’t too sweet, and peanut bits on the side. Perfect for someone like me who doesn’t like it too sugary. Still, I wished that this had a more chocolate-y taste. The best is yet to come :P

  2. Dessert overload in Bacolod

    “Be prepared to gain ten pounds when you’re in Bacolod.” So said a line in Cebu Pacific’s Smile Magazine while listing a guide to the sights and treats in the Masskara City.

    After spending a short three days in Bacolod City, we couldn’t help but agree. I’ve called it a foodie’s paradise before and the impression remains. Bacolod is sleepy compared to Manila all right, but there’s no shortage of great culinary places to try.

    One thing I feasted on were the desserts. The bakers in the city sure know how to make their cakes and pastries.
