Chocolatey Breakfast

 

 His sister got him a sans rival came from Aristocrat. She said she left it at the fridge but all we saw was a box of chocolate cake... Or so we thought.

She is a fan of chocolate cake and anything chocolate so she was more excited to dig in. We sliced the cake and to our surprise it was indeed a chocolate-coated sans rival.



She says...
I loved every bite. I was feeling unwell that day and that different twist from the usually boring butter coated sans rival and the the overwhelmingly decadent chocolate cake was the perfect boost to the roughly-textured layers of moistened crackers. I really just can't get enough.

She rates: 5/5

Afternoon Coffee at CW Lifestyle Cafe

It was a rainy afternoon when we dropped by at One E-com Center in Mall of Asia. After conducting our business there, we were set out to go home but with the heavy rain and no umbrella on hand, getting wet was not a very good option. Thus we decided to drop by at the CW Lifestyle Cafe since it's been a while that we've just been walking passed this shop when we visit this One E-Com.

The ambience was nice. It was quiet and cozy with very comfy chairs. The man behind the counter was warm and friendly.

We ordered a slice of Belgian Chocolate Cake, a slice of San Francisco Cheesecake, a cup of hot latte macchiato for her, and a glass of iced cafe mocha (one of their best sellers)for him.

The chocolate cake looked yummy. The icing was thick, however the cake itself was rough and dry. When it comes to chocolate cakes I always like it moist. As for the San Francisco Cheesecake, it was good, although it did not bear any significant taste that would differentiate it from a New York Cheesecake. The coffee, however, was not remarkable. It didn't have the strong macchiato flavor. It was watered down milk and coffee combo. Thanks to the two packets of brown sugar that somehow helped add taste to the coffee. Did I just order the wrong coffee? Not really sure, but a sip from his iced cafe mocha tells me that this just ain't the coffee shop that suits my taste buds.

She rates: 2.5/5.

I guess it's no surprise that this cafe only exists in one place. Their items aren't really that remarkable. Their iced cafe mocha had no signature taste. It tasted and even looked like the iced cafe mocha that I usually order at a certain bread store that recently changed its name.

Their cakes were moist but the flavor was lacking. I (my taste buds) had fond memories of the phrase "Belgian chocolate" but this cafe certainly ruined that with their Belgian chocolate cake. I also had a taste of their San francisco cheesecake and it was a bit sour. Scary.

The place was comfy enough though. They even provide a free WiFi if you purchase beyond PhP 150 which is not bad. At least it wasn't crowded like all the other more popular coffee shops out there. They're reasonably priced too.
