There’s
cake & there’s CAKE ! I’ve had my share of cake hopping thru the years, My
all time favorites : Hizons – Custard Cake, Cravings – Mango Tart, Red Ribbon –
Blueberry, Ube & Mango Tart, Goldilocks – Brazo de Mercedes, Contis – Mango
Bravo.
During
one of my syobe’s (younger sister) after church bring homes, she brought a box
full of Parvatti plain, sugar raised donuts, the kind that you buy on your
friendly neighborhood bakeries. It was an automatic hit! A couple of minutes in
the oven toaster & WALAA! Freshly baked, oven treat! So when she told us
that she’s meeting her best friend, Parvatti owner Joan, everybody was already
all smiles, this means coffee & cake! I didn’t bother looking at the menu,
there was so many to choose from I will be bamboozle by so much deliciousness
LOL. So I let t
The
Blue berry cheesecakes minis didn’t last long, Benz ate it all, all 6 minis ! We
had to request for another order. A slice of the Brazo was good enough for all
3 of us, me, syobe (younger sister), and syoti (younger brother). It melts in
your mouth delicious ! The top, lightly toasted yet soft & fluffy like
cotton candy, it’s middle part (yes, you heard me right) made of “just right”
custard, not sweet & tacky, and the end part yummy surprise of homemade ice
cream YUMMY ! Most Brazo de Mercedes is
like a log, and it only has 2components – t
he white & the yellow. It’s the
yellow custard wrapped around the white feathery egg white whipped in cream of
tartar & sugar. The Parvatti version has 3 delectable components ! Ice
Cream on the last later ! BTW it doesn’t taste like ice cream mind you, not the
refrigerator type that we make at home, there’s ice cream yet it feels all
custard in your mouth, just colder. It was so delectable, it’s addictive, I
WANT MORE !
