Inggo Noms...

After dinner at Sushi Katsu, we went to Dezaato Pan for dessert. Dezaato Pan is a cafe that serves bread, coffee, gelato and the most aesthetically-pleasing cakes. It’s usually beside a Tempura Grill restaurant. Dezaato means dessert while Pan means bread in Japanese. I decided to go here because of the parfait but sadly, the Tomas Morato branch didn’t have it. Instead, I got their Green tea gelato while Inggo got the French Vanilla gelato for (55php) each. There are other unique flavors which was priced a bit higher than what we’ve ordered. I also got the Choco Otaku bread for (50php) for takeout. The bread here is self-service similar to Bread Talk. Oh, and the bread gets a 30% discount if its past 7pm.

When Inggo asked me what I want as my reward for passing my thesis, I answered “ice cream”. So we looked for an ice cream shop at SM North Sky Garden yesterday, after dinner at Koryo. We settled for Frostbite because I was too tired to walk. Frostbite uses the brand “Fruits in Icecream” for their creations. They have Coffee Bun with Icecream, bibingka, waffles and the like. I chose their Caramelo bowl for 90 Php.

While wandering around SM North EDSA’s annex after dinner at Persia Grill, me and my friends passed by an interesting stall at the 5th floor. The stall was called Miguelito’s Fried Ice Cream. The thought of “fried ice cream” wasn’t really weird for me, because I’ve had deep-fried ice cream before—ice cream wrapped in batter then deep fried. However, I soon learn that this was no deep-fried ice cream—this really was “fried” ice cream, and the thought made me very interested. Upon learning how cheap it was, we decided to try it out.

Me and my friends went to Icebergs a couple of days ago. This is one of those I’ve-passed-by-this-place-a-lot-of-times-before-but-never/rarely-tried-it places—for me, at least. I think the number of times I’ve been here can be counted in one hand. From its name, you can assume it specializes in ice cream, which it does. The branch I always pass by, especially when I was a child, was the one in SM North EDSA. But the place it’s in is pretty obscure that me and my lola, whom I always go with to go grocery shopping there back then, don’t get to visit it. That, and my family has a history of diabetes. That doesn’t stop any of us from eating ice cream, though.

After dinner at La Mesa Grill, me and Inggo looked for a place to hang out at Sky Garden since we didn’t want to go home yet. We ended up at Kitchen of Cakes and Coffee which is just a few steps away from La Mesa Grill. It’s a small coffee shop that specializes in cakes and coffee, obviously. What made me choose this store from all the shops in Sky Garden is that they serve Alamid Coffee, which is the Tagalog version of Kopi Luwak or Civet Coffee. I didn’t order that one because it costs (185php) a cup and didn’t have the budget.

Beloved and I met up with our friends who were waiting at Yogi Berry. They were having yogurt from the said store, and we learn that they have a pay-by-weight style similar to Qoola. We also find out that the store is much, much cheaper than my comparison, and even to your regular yogurt store. I guess it also doesn’t hurt that this would make my blog have another yogurt entry even though I’m not particularly fond of the dessert. With those facts jotted down, we head to the self-service counter.

After dinner, beloved and I went to Yoh-gürt Froz. Yes, this is another yogurt store. Yes, I still don’t know why beloved forces herself to eat yogurt. Yes, this still has color motif that’s different from the other yogurt places we’ve tried before (this one’s blue). That aside, this is found across McDonalds on the side where we wait for a ride to come home. This happened to be open even though it was pretty late. Peeking through their window, we thought their prices was pretty cheap for yogurt, so we decided to try it out.

Because we weren’t able to eat dessert at Seoul Garden, we went to The White Hat. Well, it was beloved who said that she wanted dessert. For some reason, she insisted on having yogurt even though her last experience in fyi wasn’t a good one. Maybe she’s still clinging on the hopes that this one will somehow taste like Qoola. Yet, even though I say that almost all yogurt should taste sour, and even though she hates such sourness, she still insists that she wants one. I give in. Because this was the closest one, we went here.

After dinner, we had dessert at fyi. Yes, it’s written in lowercase. It’s a yogurt stall near Omakase. For long-term visitors of this blog, you’ll know that beloved hates real yogurt. However, if you’ve read our experience at Qoola, you’ll know that beloved loved the yogurt she had there. Perhaps because of this last experience, she actually wanted to try it out. Or maybe because I won’t allow her to eat ice cream.

Today, me and Inggo went to SM North and Trinoma for his errands. I’ve been wanting to go to this new dessert shop ever since I saw it but never had the chance and the reason to do so. (Plus he won’t allow me to eat desserts.) We finally went here today because we were in need of change to go home.
