I miss the sweet cold chewy sylvanas from House of Sylvanas. I used to swing by their branch in Glorietta 4 and buy a couple of pieces (at Php19 each) right before heading up to the movie theatre. There were many other flavors inside their freezer, but I always just chose the original one.

Pretzel Perfect

I love Auntie Anne's pretzel (plain or cheese) with caramel dip.

Tsokolate Ice Cream Cake

This mini chocolate ice cream cake came all the way from my hometown, Zamboanga City. Apparently a franchise of Tsokolate has opened there. It has such a real chocolate taste that I honestly prefer it over Myrna's, whose cakes don't taste good at all, just their icing with the rich butter taste.

Vjandep Pastel

The most popular pastry from Camiguin - fluffy buns oozing with delicious creamy yema (egg and condensed milk) filling. It comes in different flavors as well, but only yema tastes wonderful. I believe there's now a shop in The Fort that sells these.

Baker Boss

This is my favorite picture of food. My boss baked some egg tarts with strawberries and gave us one each. I took a picture of mine before eating it.

Oh My P.osh!

I was in Dhoby Gaut station, hurriedly walking towards the ATM, when a girl gave me a stick with a little bit of brownie stuck to it. I took it distractedly, went on walking, popped the brownie into my mouth, then did an about-face and went back to the girl to buy a couple whole ones of those brownies she had doled out for sampling. Honestly, P.osh brownies are the best damn brownies I've ever tasted in my life, and the price (S$2.80 for a plain brownie and S$3+ for designed ones) is totally worth it.

Provence Chocolate Wassant

Soft chocolate wassant from Provence, located in Central mall, Clarke Quay. So good, the bakery constantly runs out of them. It's a good thing Chi and her officemates have noted the pattern and know at what exact time they can catch these bad guys.

Doubly Delicious

I was in Wheelock Place when I walked past The Big O and its counter of delicious looking cakes. In most other stores, I'd be really confused as to which to buy - cheesecake or chocolate mousse? Here, both of my favorites had been married into one slice - the Big O cheesecake. New York cheesecake topped with smooth chocolate mousse in an Oreo cookie crust - what could be better than that?

When I took my first bite, the words "Oh my God!" escaped from my lips. It was simply the best cake I have ever tasted ever. The cheesecake is creamy, smooth, rich and dense like real cheesecakes are supposed to taste, not light and full of air like some cheap ones do. The mousse has a real chocolate bar taste, not at all just too sweet brown gunk masquerading as chocolate.

The Big O Cheesecake

One slice costs S$6.95 and they had an ongoing promotion - for every slice of cake, you get a drink for free. I got a mocha cappuccino and it was the perfect chaser to the perfect cake.
