Cool Treat at Honey Creme, SM Aura Premier, Taguig City, Philippines

Sometimes having your dessert first is a good idea. 

Case in point; we were walking around SM Aura at 7 in the evening and saw this.

Yes, we haven't had dinner yet but I was so excited to try this out that I couldn't wait 'til after. 

It was a toss up between the Organic Cotton Candy or the Caramel Popcorn topping. Can you guess which one won??

While they were getting the soft serve in my cup, it gave me time to look around.

Sweet Escape at Magnum Manila Cafe, SM Aura Taguig, Philippines

For our dessert fix, we've always gone to our tried & tested favorite Cafe Breton. But tonight was different. After our Greeka session, our sweet tooth came a-callin'. Driving off to Greenbelt felt like a chore so we decided to stay & explore SM Aura's dessert places. 

At the door, they ask if you're getting their "make-your-own-magnum" or getting their a la carte dishes. They clarify that their DIY magnum bar is for take out only. We set that aside for our next visit. We were escorted to our table.

Huge Magnum bar murals adorned the walls. We perused the menu and settled on Magnum's Death by Chocolate. 

Don't worry, the 15-20 minute wait will be worth it.

Death by Chocolate (Php 250)

The menu reads, "Deep dark chocolate lava cake and chocolate truffle Magnum topped with brownie pieces and chocolate crispearls." Except for the brown-bowl-instead-of-a-cast-iron-skillet, this looks picture perfect doesn't it? ;) 

Hubby started pouring the vanilla sauce. FS Advice? You have to eat every spoonful with a bit of the melting Magnum bar. The chocolate truffle worked well with the chocolate brownie on the bottom. The chocolate-covered rice crispies added texture and the cherry on top was a nice touch. Serving is definitely enough for sharing. 

Needless to say, Magnum's Death by Chocolate was a hit. Note to self: Get an extra naked bar (Php 50) on the next visit. ;9 Also, their Cookie Dough Skillet deserves a try as well.

Sweet Tooth Pit Stop at Milkyway, Power Plant Mall, Makati Philippines

Walking around Power Plant Mall, looking for something cool and sweet, this bluish silver glow from one of the restaurants caught our eye.

Welcome to Milkyway.

Milkyway, Power Plant Mall, Makati

With this long spoon, can you guess what dessert we ordered??? 

Sweet Afters at Mio Gelati, Glorietta 3 Park Makati

Fresh from the ongoing sale at Duty Free Philippines, we decided to check out the new food truck stop at Glorietta 3 Park last Friday.

We were looking for dessert (to wash out the bad experience we had for dinner) and saw this cute pink truck parked by the end.

Mio Gelati, Glorietta 3 Park

Pink palang, sold na! Haha. This was too girly to pass up. 

Flavors

They categorize their flavors into 3 groups; regular, premium and alcoholic. Scoops price depends on the category they're in.

We were there for the Ferrero (see the 2nd picture) which sadly was sold out. :( Settled for Espresso Chips & Banofee instead. Our total for the night was Php 160 (one regular + one premium).

Cake Time at Annabel Lee Cafe, Quezon City

A continuation of the Mother's Day celebration. 

Annabelle Lee Cafe

The night called for something sweet and what better else is there than cake? We ordered one for take out. Who knew that this plain-looking white box held one tasty treat?

Night Time Gelato at Amici, Ayala Triangle Garden

After having our fill at Omakase, our sweet tooth began tingling...

With Amici just a few steps away, how could we resist? :)

Amici, Ayala Triangle Garden

A little backgrounder: The first time we heard of this place was back in 2010. We ate at their Tomas Morato branch and didn't exactly enjoy their wares; plus their cafeteria-like concept did not sit well with me. What we keep coming back for was their gelato.  Not before long, they decided to market their desserts separately from their regular menu. They named the other half of their restaurant Caramia (check out the bright green divider below).
