Strawberry and Chocolate Cheesecake


The Chocolatier
Ayala, Cebu City

I actually forgot the name of this dessert since the only time I ate it was during Sinulog last January. Looks pretty nice, doesn't it? I just fell in love with it when I saw it on display. My opinion on its taste? It was good in small portions only since the novelty of the taste wears off after half a slice ^^

Mango Delight Cake

Secret Recipe
Robinson's Place Ermita
Php~95

It looked so scrumptious in the menu that I decided to order it among other fresh cream cakes offered. To be honest, it was quite a disappointment. I have to admit it was good, but it was not that good that I'd recommend it. What I noted was that the topping on the top (seen at the picture) did not go very well with the rest of the cake. If it was an attempt to make the cake more flavorful, it failed since the seasoning overpowers the cake.

Verdict: 6/10

Mango Sansrival Gelato Cake

Caramia, Robinson's - Ermita
~110 Php/slice

I returned to the place to eat it again since it was so good! Although compared to the rest of the cake the mango pieces were quite harder and they did not melt in my mouth unlike the rest of the cake, it overall flavor and texture was still good. The chocolate piece was just an extra, which did not really help in enhancing the cake's flavor.



Verdict: 8.5/10
