A Yummy Peace Offering
5 Sep
This was D’s offer to appease me after we got into a little “misunderstanding” two days ago.
Pasteleria Ilustrado’s Sans Rival. I ate this together with 2 orders of Siomai House’s siomai (what else!). Yum yum!
I think I’m having a sweets-craving phase. Two weeks ago, we trooped to Festival Mall in Alabang to buy Pasteleria Ilustrado’s Baked Cheesecake, another favorite. Sadly, they ran out of it. But instead of settling for the sans rival, I decided to sample one from Cravings’ dessert spread. I haven’t tasted any of their cakes so I asked for the bestseller. Hence, the Choco Caramel Cake.
The first bite was both heavenly and sinful. After that, it was just flat out sickening. It’s too sweet for me. And D bailed out early so I had no choice but to finish off the whole mini cake myself, while being regretfully reminded of the delicate and balanced taste of Ilustrado’s desserts. For someone who has no sweet tooth (craving for sweets occurs rarely for me), it was torture. And it didn’t end with the last bite. I woke up the next day sick in my throat, perhaps because too much sugar has coated it.
I might still try their Devil’s Food Cake though. The marshmallow icing looks promising. But yeah, Pasteleria Ilustrado’s Sans Rival is definitely a treat!
I love you D!
