Frostings Cookie Bar

Bar-shaped chocolate marshmallow cookie topped with white chocolate and decorated with milk chocolate sprinkles.

It was a combination of the four, a torte, a dense wafer, a meringue and a cookie.

I bought 2 bars that day, one was good for a couple more days and the other, just til the end of the day.


The former was moist, tightly-packed, crunchy but will still melt-in-your-mouth, chewy and creamy. While the latter crumbled in every bite, it was also very dry. The chocolates' (milk and white) taste weren't that prominent anymore, also its sweetness tapered-off.


It's my new favorite that I always buy a couple every time I'm in Glorietta.

Happy Eating!

Tokyo Tokyo Kakigori

A new offering from Tokyo Tokyo. A Japanese dessert made from shaved ice, flavored with syrup, sweetened with milk and topped with sweet red beans and nata de coco.


Same as with Ajisen's Azuki, I am also endlessly hoping for other ingredients aside from red beans and nata in my every spoon. I just find it weird to eat something in between of a snow cone and anmitsu/halo-halo.


Tokyo Tokyo's Kakigori has this bubblegum pop taste to it, also milky and sweet because of the red beans and nata. Compared to Ajisen's Japanese red beans, Tokyo Tokyo were smaller in size but firmer in shape.

Ajisen Ramen Azuki Mochi Ice Cream

Vanilla ice cream with Japanese red beans and mochi.


Based on its description and photo on the menu, one would think that it was just an ice cream with mochi and red beans as toppings, but what was served on my table was vanilla ice cream sitting on a pool of finely-crushed ice with milk, topped generously with mochi and Japanese red beans.


It felt like eating an Anmitsu that am continuously digging, hoping to find other ingredients aside from mochi and red beans. Though everything in here was good, from the very creamy vanilla ice cream (it's really creamy), sweet, crunchy but soft and big Japanese red beans to the chewy mochis (I still prefer Maria's mochis 'coz it's with fillings) but it would be better if they just turn it into a full-blown Anmitsu instead.

Krispy Kreme

With a couple of minutes to spare before my gimmick with a friend, I decided to avail my free Chocolate Glaze Donut and Coffee at Krispy Kreme in Mall of Asia.

A very attentive and friendly staff welcomed me at the door, took the printed e-mail and my ID, told me to take a seat and wait for my freebies.


After just a few minutes he came back with a hot brewed coffee and freshly-made chocolate glaze donut.


The donut was so soft and the glaze, so chocolatey. It tasted of a high-quality chocolate with just the right ratio of sweetness and bitterness. It made me want to order more, plus a couple of their other chocolate flavored/glazed donuts like, double choco, choco cruller, etc.

Delifrance

I received an e-mail coupon from Delifrance entitling me to a free French Dip Roast Beef Sandwich for a purchase of the same sandwich for P99.


A couple of days after, I redeemed the coupon at their SM Makati outlet.


Roast beef and caramelized onions in between a baguette, served with french dip.


The baguette was a welcome surprise. It was chewy and soft and not the hard-to-eat type common in bakeries. I can definitely get use to eating it. The roast beef tasted good but was hard to eat, it was rubbery on some areas, fatty too. While the french dip was similar to a gravy, just not peppery.

Banapple Snicker Fudge Cheesecake

Layers of chocolate cookie crust, cheesecake with chunks of snickers chocolate and chocolate fudge, finished with crushed nuts and snickers.


The cheesecake was neither rich nor creamy, it was just okay-tasting but with generous amount of snickers chocolate chunks in it, same goes with the chocolate fudge. While the cookie crust was too oily and soggy.
