Of Pink Hamburger, Carbonara For Adults & A Big Ass Macaron

desserts at The Cake Club

From the moment that I step inside this restaurant and settled on a table in one corner, a feeling of unrestrained glee envelops me. Who couldn't possibly help to feel that way especially when all the finest desserts and sweets were all at your fingertips? Just ask and the server will give to you in a jiffy. And you might ask where could this be? The restaurant I'm referring to is The Cake Club by The Diamond Hotel and is currently one of the string of restaurants that occupies the very upscale Bonifacio High Street Central.

I Dare You To Forget Me Not

French macarons & a chick lit paperback

I seem to be gravitating towards dessert cafe and coffee shops that has a feminine flair to it these days which is quite fine by me. I love tables topped with laced covers, pink and floral accents plus exquisitely detailed cups, saucers, plates and utensils. So it was no wonder that I visited Forget Me Not Specialty Cakes which I first read about on the Dessert Comes First website. It's a fairly new bakery cafe in a not-so-obscure location in Makati and I didn't mind at all getting a little lost trying to find it. I usually take that as a challenge and was never fazed by the unfamiliarity of its location.

The Best French Macarons Ever

the best macarons one could have at Chez Karine

This could possibly be my newest favorite dessert place of the moment. I've been wanting to visit Chez Karine Bakery and try their much heralded macarons which was said to be Pierre Herme calibre. Herme is a renowned French pastry chef known for his macarons and was dubbed by Vogue Magazine as "The Picasso of Pastry" with whom Chez Karine owner, Karen Yang, has undergone training in Paris. But due to it's popularity and frequent rounds on other online sites, I felt if I went here right away I might have some difficulty nabbing a seat and making myself comfortable. Discomfort could easily rob me of my enjoyment of the food that I'm eating, no matter how good the taste is. So I waited till the hype went down a bit. And the wait did paid off.
