Park Avenue Desserts

I liked their Eiffel Tower Praline, that I came back for more. Unfortunately, it was already soldout. Disappointed, I looked around for other items to try. It wasn't hard as I wanted to try them all. But I just limit myself to 4 that day.

I bought a small container of their Brookies (brownie + cookie rolled into one), Melted Brownie, Blue Velvet (like red velvet but it's blue, with white chocolate, cream cheese and blueberry filling) and Salted Caramel Praline.

I had the brookies both at room temperature and warmed in the microwave. I like it more melted.

I were told that the Blue Velvet was their blue version of the red velvet but better, as it's with white chocolate and blueberry filling. I were also told that it's good and not too sweet. And they weren't lying. 

The Melted Brownie was also good and chocolatey. It's different from traditional brownies as it has 3 layers of chocolate with different textures and taste.

And lastly the Salted Caramel Praline. 

You would think that it's pricey for it's size, but think again, as they didn't scrimp on anything on this praline. Just look at how thick the caramel is inside. 

Honestly, they haven't disappointed me yet when it comes to taste. As all I have bought from them were delicious. Can't wait to sample more of what they offer next time.

Santouka

I was craving for ramen for the longest time now, fortunately, I was able to satiate my ramen craving yesterday. 

Had my favorite Shio (salt) Ramen at Santouka. I ordered the ramen set with salmon. That's your choice of ramen (flavor), salmon katsu, rice, side salad, fruits/mini cupcake and green tea.

Starbucks Chocolate and Hazelnut Parfait

Alternate layers of chocolate cake and hazelnut cream. 

This was good, though sometimes the hazelnut cream tends to be too cloying.

Cupcakes by Sonja Red Velvet Milkshake and Hostess with the Mostess

I was craving for something sweet and new to try, that when I passed by Cupcakes by Sonja in Glorietta, my eyes were glued on the milkshakes standee. 

There were four milkshake variants, but I asked for their bestseller, and were told that it's the Red Velvet Milkshake.

A staff said that it's made of their Red Velvet Vixen Cupcake mixed with vanilla ice cream. 

It was delicious but so rich. That I had to drink it on intervals and not on one go. But I would definitely buy one again. 

For my cupcake, I chose the Hostess with the Mostess.

It's one of their seasonal cupcakes. It has a valrhona chocolate cupcake base with marshmallow center and glazed with chocolate ganache.

I didn't find it good. It's just like a Fudgee Bar. Definitely not worth the P105 price.

Birthday Meal at Yabu

Redeemed my free birthday meal at Yabu. I got the Chicken Katsu. I then added an order of Bottomless Lemonade and a side order of Chicken Katsu, as 90grams of chicken katsu won't suffice my big appetite for meat.

New Zealand Ice Cream Caramel Chocolate Crunch

 

It was a good ice cream, with a lot of chocolate bits scattered in it.

Sol Thai

I can't think of a new restaurant or dish to try at Robinsons Manila, when I chanced upon a standee of Sol Thai's offerings. Their Yellow Rice with Breaded Chicken was what I ordered. It came with a glass of Pandan Iced Tea.

It was good and filling for its price. The yellow rice underneath was flavored with their yellow curry sauce, which made it tastier. 

As soon as you are seated you'll be served with a small plate of wonton chips and spicy peanuts (complimentary, just not sure if it's also refillable, as I didn't ask for another serving). I love how spicy and salty their peanuts were.

Cafe Mary Grace Mushroom Cream and Wild Raspberry

I love their Mushroom Cream Pasta, that I was willing to wait for 15 minutes just to be seated and another 10 minutes for the pasta to be served. Still good as always.

For my drink, I ordered the Wild Raspberry Tea. Better than the Peach Tea, but wanted it colder, that I just asked for a tall glass filled with ice.
