When eaten, the walnuts shatter in the mouth, giving way to the meringue’s subtle crunch of complaint before melting on the tongue in a sea of sweet, releasing a dazzling tang of lemon.
…” Roshan’s lemon torte is the real thing: no soggy layers of meringue and no lack of nuts that have been crushed to a fare-thee-well. … The lemon curd is true to its essence, with just enough butter and yolks to round out the sweetness and bite.” (see: Roshan’s Lemon Torte by Lori, dessercomesfirst.blogspot.com )

First time for me to eat Beard Papa and I was surprised by its size which is a little bigger and its price at P50 just for one vanilla cream puff. The Beard Papa eclairs goes for P55 and what is nice is that they have other cream puff versions with different toppings of chocolate (White choco chips, Black choco chips, Choco fudge and Choco glazed). … It would be interesting to see if there are different chocolate topping variations for Happy Cream Puff in the future and of course, the value for money when you buy more.

Aidan’s sneaking for a Happy Cream Puff (Check out www.happycreampuff.com ) It was the first time we heard our son Aidan said the word “W-O-W” (with feelings!) … I was skeptical at first if we would like it but when my wife received and ate the goodies without waiting for me, she keeps on raving about the eclairs via text.
…Just compare it to Beard Papa where they have all the branding and marketing materials, including this cool cartoon story on the Beard Papa Story . (you need to watch this cool story in Osaka Japan where Papa Beard started) The vision of the owner is to create the cream puff craze similar to Japan where cream puff is the leading sweets in terms of market share.

We haven’t tried Delize’s Sansrival and finally we had a chance to taste the Pistachio sansrival version of Jill Sandique known as the Sansrival Queen. … Also, I need to warn you that the Sunrise Drive near Santolan is SUPER DUPER traffic at this time of the year (or is it all year round?) … Jill Sandique of Dèlize 33 Sunrise Drive, Cubao, Quezon City 721-7022 (ask for Lea, Mimi, or Vangie) Allow a minimum of 2-3 days for your order(s).

I discovered Ange’s Frozen Brazo which is exactly the same as the Camara’s version except for its size 7×11 versus the 9×9 size of Camara. … The graham crust is just a little bit sweeter while the egg white topping is a little bit firmer vs. a softer egg white of the Camara version. … Btw, I’m sure Camara would have tons of order by now, so at least you have another option where to get this Frozen Brazo delight.

During Marketmanila’s EB where everyone brought desserts, the Best Dessert during that night was this Frozen Brazo de Mercedes by the Camara Family. … I’m addicted to it and when I brought this cake during the Flickr Philippines Christmas Party, it was wiped out in a few minutes. … It is a little bit messy when it melts so you should pick it up just right before any Christmas Party that you would attend to.

The queue was a snake already and it goes all around up to the Krispy Kreme main door opening below the Red building on the left. There are still a lot of people who lined up which is a mix of students who has nothing to do because of no classes, employees who aim to get 4 dozens of Krispy Kreme donuts to be seen as cool in the office, and gym rats coming from fitness gym the Fort who wanted to reward themselves for the morning’s workout. I’m not sure how long the queue was and I estimate that waiting time can easily be 2 hours in the morning.

Thank you very much to Naz, one of my online friends, who gave these goodies as “pasalubong” from San Francisco for our family 🙂 I hope they didn’t have a hard time bringing the persimmons here. … She was surprised and at the same time thought it was so sweet of Naz and his family to bring us pasalubongs from SF. … And I’m really sorry for not meeting you the first time, this week is a very hectic week for me but I was glad that you were still able to fit me in your limited time here in Manila.
