\nA good meal becomes even better when you end it on a high note. Yes, I’m talking about the importance of dessert. Some may prefer cakes over ice cream or foreign-inspired over local flavors, but rarely do I find a person who’s not a fan of desserts. There’s always something for everyone and as such, I’ve listed a few of my favorites from Manila’s food scene<\/b><\/a> to satisfy your sweet tooth. Be sure to bring good company because the only thing Filipinos love more than food is family and friends. \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/p>\n\nThe quintessential Filipino dessert, quite similar to the Ice Kacang <\/i>and Cendol<\/i>, made with shaved ice and lots of goodies. I was never really a fan until I tried this “minimalist” version from Razon’s<\/b>. This only has evaporated milk, saba<\/i> (local plantains), macapuno <\/i>(jelly-like sweetened coconut), and leche flan<\/i> (caramel custard). It isn’t as colorful as its other counterparts, but to be honest, this is the only shaved ice cup that I would go out of my way for and recommend.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\nRazon’s of Guagua<\/b> is located at Unit 11 Timog Commercial Complex, Timog Avenue corner Panay Avenue, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n2.

<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\nThere are a ton of delicious cake offerings in the Philippines, but Heny Sison<\/b> remains to be one of my favorites. I actually went for baking class in her culinary school a few summers ago! :p Not only are the flavors good, the portions are huuuge<\/i>. Perfect for those with a sweet tooth!

\nIf you want something light and sweet, head on over to Caf\u00e9 Breton <\/b>for cr\u00eapes. They have a lot of options to choose from and usually I’d go for the works – fruits, spread, everything! But after my aunt ordered the Sugar cr\u00eape and I took a bite from it, I was converted. It’s soooo<\/i> good! So much better than the La Pinay and everything else. Except maybe for the spinach and mushroom. <\/div>\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\nThere are a lot of artisan ice-cream places popping up, and though Bar Dolci<\/a> remains a favorite, I was really glad my cousins, Miguel and Nadine, took me to Mad Mark’s<\/b>. The Half-Baked Madagascar and the Javan Hot Chocolate were highly recommended, but since we came minutes before closing, we only managed to get the Half-Baked Madagascar and Chocolate on Chocolate. Not bad, not bad at all!<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\nMad Mark’s <\/b>is located at 23 East Capitol Drive, Kapitolyo, Pasig City<\/div>\n
