Long weekend at Baguio City [part 1/Vizco's restaurant and cake shop ]

Everyone is happy because it's looooong weekend (Aug 18-21)!

August 18 Saturday

August 19 Sunday

August 20 Eid-al-Fitr (Holiday)

August 21 Ninoy Aquino day (Holiday)

That's why :)

Moving on to..... Baguio! Yay.

Vizco's restaurant and cake shop

Before hubby and I check in to our hotel, we stroll first by walking from victory liner to session road. Well, I guess to save fare..maybe not. :p

Baguio City is really small that you'll be able to memorize every corner of the place. As we walked to session road, there are lots of restaurants to choose from, italian/filipino/chinese cuisine, cake shop and many more.

But Vizco's caught our attention so we tried this out.

Gambas rice

225Php

This dish is one I really like! A combination of pesto buttery sauce in a very tasty shrimp that can't go wrong.

Chap chae

 [*from Ocha restaurant menu]

210Php

*Ocha and Vizco's owned by the same owner where you can order some food from Ocha's menu even if you're in Vizco's, vice versa.

Hubby's favorite. I normally don't eat chap chae, I don't know, maybe it's just odd for me to eat sweet noodles. Except for this, I like the balance of sweetness and saltiness of the dish which made me eat this. Unfortunately, due to recent adjustment of my dental braces, I can't chew comfortably. Wrong timing. Maybe next time!

Choco mudpie

[based on my receipt]

90Php

This dessert.. it was frozen! Confused a bit for this dessert, the usual mud pie I know is that, chocolates are swimming around the cake. Choco mousse with banana Or Banana choco mousse (Yes, it's banana, the yellow thingy above) is more appropriate I guess.

Mango cake

65Php

I like what I ordered a slice of mango chiffon cake. For the price it's really worth it. The icing and mango cream layer did not fail on me.

They accept credit card

They do delivery!

Just call/text 446-7082, 09175790962 or 09209642407

Cadbury old gold oreo cheesecake

Desserts are meant to savor its flavor, its taste and its ingredients.

These are just my assumptions in scrutinizing the cake.
Cadbury old gold oreo cheesecake

135Php per slice

The name speaks for itself and it sure is heavy! :)


Happy Friday!

Peach graham cake drizzled with chocolate syrup

 Another easy way to indulge your cravings over desserts.

It's not just plain heavy cream, sweet cream and crackers. Just be imaginative like, add some fruits on top and chocolates just like what I did. You can also add blueberries/strawberries/ raspberries and mousse.

Whew! man, I'm starting to drool :p

Happy weekend!

xoxo,

Faith

Happy 2012!

Happy weekend!

Chocolate is the first luxury. It has so many things wrapped up in it: Deliciousness in the moment, childhood memories, and that grin-inducing feeling of getting a reward for being good.

Goldilocks: Chocolate mousse cake

Chocolate Mousse

500Php

Cakes aren't just for special occassions BUT for cravings as well :)

I also tried Red Ribbon's choco mousse, in comparison I guess RR's choco mousse is better than Goldi.

So what makes Goldi and RR's choco mousse cake different?

Their mousse.

Goldilocks's mousse is more buttery taste rather than creamy milky unlike RRs'.

But then based on Goldilocks and Red Ribbon's prices which are 500Php and 594Php respectively. It commensurates.

Pizza hut: Dessert sampler

Dessert sampler

199Php

After dinner, I still crave for desserts so hubby and I went to Pizza hut, Park square.

Hubby ordered Mozzarella stick (139Php) while I ordered Dessert sampler.

I super love their trio desserts which consist of mango panna cotta, mud pie sundae and choco lava cake that really satisfied my cravings. And it was "almost" all mine :)

Stackers burger, I'll be back :)

Strawberry Glaciers 

45Php

I didn't have a chance to buy their burgers due to unexpected circumstances. Anyhoo, I just can't wait to invite my hubby to dine in here and to taste their burgers :)

Cello's doughnuts and dips

This is my 2nd time around to order at Cellos', If I recall it right, I ordered oreo milkshake that time.

It's like medium size (I guess around 14-16oz) when you buy juices from other local store.

 mudslide milkshake

 Php140

 Choco bites

10pcs for Php35

Our rendezvous would be in skydome, Sm North. So I stopped by at Cellos' to kill some time.

I told hubby that I'll spare him half of my milkshake & bites I ordered.

It took me around an hour to wait for him..T'was like, "honey, what took you so long? In a count of 5 I'll eat this all up!".

But still.... waiting.. waiting.. Took one bite..wait again..Then being enticed again with these desserts.

Good thing I was able to control it, I spared 1/4... Yay!

Triple chocolate cake from Red Ribbon

I was so craving for desserts last night that I really want to cry (so dramatic) haha! And so, my rants finally compensated by Red Ribbon's Triple chocolate cake. I bought half roll for 195Php.

As I unbox it, It excites me as I saw its overflowing chocolates around! Well it should be, coz it's triple chocolate, so I expect that it oozes more chocolates.

Curled chocolates with laced choco syrup on top

The best feeling is to eat both ends of the cake, moist.

The second slice was.. Okay? Not too moist. I guess if the smooth choco icing around is not that much It'll be lame or dry. But then, I am satisfied though not that superb.

Full roll: 299Php

Half roll: 195Php

 Do you have any yummy cakes in your mind? Let me know, spill the beans :)

Beard Papa's creampuff :D

Hmm..loving the view of these yummy treats!

Special Creampuff/eclair  55Php

I forgot to take a photo of their regular creampuff for only 50Php. By the way, their regular creampuff does have sprinkled confectioner sugar around. But I opted to buy their special creampuff/eclair , it enticed me :p I asked the girl if this also has sprinkled confectioner sugar... None.

It's bigger than all creampuffs I bought namely Dulcinea, bakersfresh & happy creampuff. It took me lots of bite to consume this :)

Honey Creampuff 100Php

This creampuff is perfect to my taste, very creamy and not too sweet! I tasted it like woah, so heaven! I'll surely buy this one again

Caramel choco cake 65Php

Hmm.. this cake..this cake.. The caramel and chocolate is great for me though the cake is kinda dry and lacking of something?  I guess their expertise is really for creampuff

When hubby and I were walking around Mall Of Asia to kill time, I saw Beard's Papa cream puff! My goodness gracious, I pulled my hubby there and bought these drooling creampuff and cake!

Hmm.. Now where is this located? At Mall Of Asia (MOA), but the only landmark that you'll be able to find this is at ground floor near the stage.

Krispy Kreme

Blueberry Cheesecake 44Php

Their new Black Forest 44Php

It has raspberry filling inside, "curly" chocolate :p (dunno how to describe it), icing and cherry on top!

These sweet delicacies are needed to be eaten SLOWLY, yummy though It's too sweet for me so it should've eaten slowly and with feelings ;p

Pepperoni & Cheese 70Php

We also bought this to compensate our "too-sweet-taste" on our tongue. Very tasty and pizza-like :)

Qoola!

What yogurt do you like? Peach? Regular?Chocolate Macadamia? What about  toppings?  lots of em' I say! Now Qoola is a fantastic way to eat yogurt. Self-service yogurt with lots of varieties to choose from!

(In a tone of endorsement? :D)

Put anything you like (peaches,mangoes, stick-o, choco chips, graham crumbs, frosted cornflakes, kiwi, choco syrup, maple, honey, white chocolate chips, cherries and lots lots more to choose from.)

Php75 per 100gm

( correct me if I'm wrong)

So if it exceeds more than 100gm that corresponds to additional charges, they will weigh it for you anyway.

Qoola is located at Greenbelt 2 with such a great ambience to stay.

Sorry for a blurred photos, forgot to bring my camera :p

I'll take more photos next time ;)

Sugar-free chocolate cake (I forgot the real name)

Their sugar-free strawberry is not bad. Good for the adults, to everyone. though I prefer a lil' bit sweeter that will not hurt my nape ;p

NY Cheesecake is such a mouth-watering dessert for me, Its creaminess is flawless, Its thin graham crust and icing on top is not just an ordinary icing but so milky..Everythin' is perfecto! And this does not hurt my nape hehe ;D

Dulcinea!

There is always desserts in every meal. So we ate at Dulcinea, Megamall to satisfy ourselves with desserts!
Dulcinea is a spanish restaurant with an estimate range dine-in cost of 150Php-500php (only for full meals), while desserts ranging from 40Php-100Php.

We spent 107Php for these coz it has service charge and tax on it

POCHESITOS
50-55Php

 Pochesitos tastes like sansrival? or maybe it is sansrival!? haha! oh well! It's not too sweet, very mild and creamyy, good for sugar-conscious adults.



CATALANES
45PHp

This is sweet! so don't indulge too much to this, yet so yummy! that it has caramelized sugar on top (when you bite it it's like crisp sugar) , choco filling (oh i love this part) And of course satisfying!




YUMMY CATALANES!

This is what it looks like when you struck your fork in it hehe.

We'll surely dine here again, probably this month ooh it's christmas!
Happy weekend!
