Weekday R&R: Luscious Chocolate Discovery

I am guilty for being a sweet tooth. Ever since I was a kid, I would always prefer the sweet as compared to something salty or sour. Moreover, something bitter is definitely out of the question. With that being said, one would assume that I would certainly go crazy over cakes and ice creams. True enough, that was the case when I was still pregnant with SI. However, on normal days, being a sweet tooth would only push me to crave for cakes and pastries.

I love trying out cake and pastry shops, most especially those making homemade goodies. Brownies, Lemon Squares, Brazo de Mercedes and soft Broas are just some of my favorites. Of course, the chocolate cake is my ultimate all-time favorite. Well, who doesn't? Whenever I see this luscious creation in pastry and coffee shops, even mall food stalls, I can't help myself from checking it out.


Award-winning chocolatey masterpiece


Craving and raving all at the same time


If not the best, the chocolate baked goodies I discovered at the Select Store of the Magallanes Shell Service Station are definitely mouth-watering. Ms. Polly's Chocolate Cake and Cielin's Chocolate Cupcakes are heavenly! One would not need to sink his teeth into these treats in order to convince yourself that you want to take them home. You will already be drooling at the sight of the rich chocolate icing on top. In addition, you'll savor the chocolatey goodness of the soft moist bread underneath. It is absolutely a one-of-a-kind chocolate experience for one's taste buds.

Though we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in the Philippines, these yummy cakes made this day special after all. And oh, I just have to add, I was constantly craving for these baked goodies when I was pregnant with SI. Yes, my baby was "pinaglihi" with these cake and cupcakes. Indeed there are many things to be thankful for, including finding these pastries in the most unexpected place.
