Sunday Afternoon
Before I go on blogging about sweet things I discovered last Sunday, let me introduce to you an artist I currently am liking… Alarice! Alarice is an Australian based singer with a cool soothing voice. I got this blog’s title from one of her songs that I really enjoy. Here is a link to watch and listen to Alarice’s Sunday Afternoon. You can also watch her live here in the Philippines on February 17, 2012 at the UP Sunken Garden. J
Last Sunday afternoon, I was able to celebrate my birthday with my family at the Powerplant Mall in Rockwell. There we had awesome Asian lunch at Banana Leaf. We had curry, roti, chicken pandan, and many more. J I enjoyed lunch but this blog entry is not about that, though maybe some other time I could talk about Banana Leaf J. This entry is about my sweet Sunday afternoon. Last Sunday there were different food stalls at the ground floor all displaying different sweet treats for Valentine’s Day. I saw a lot of homemade chocolate desserts, from lollipops to bite-size chocolates to cupcakes to cakes!) I also saw a lot of heart shaped cookies; some were sold with a teddy bear holding the cookie. There were also unique Valentine gift ideas like pastillias rose (pastilias is made out of milk and sugar, which hardens) and bread dips and spreads. But the one food stall that I loved that day was the food stall by Cinq.
Cinq is a dessert boutique. They don’t really have a shop but they do have contact information in case you are interested (check out their website: http://cinq.com.ph/). That Sunday I fell in love with Cinq’s Lexi and Aurore. Lexi is Cinq’s version of a cheesecake. It has a cheesecake bottom and a fruit puree on top (they have different types of fruit purees). The fruit purees are made from fresh fruits and this makes this dessert refreshingly tangy. I like how the cheesecake compliments the delicate sweetness of the fruit. Cinq’s Aurore, for me, is heavenly!! It’s not a cake or a tart; it’s like both in one good chocolate marriage. J It’s hard to give a description since it does not really fit a certain category, well not that I know of a category that it would belong to. You just have to taste it to understand my wild descriptions J. Although I did not buy their pecan tart, I did have a taste of it and was it also good!
Here are some photos of their delectable desserts: (photos are from Timmy Potenciano’s entry in appetite.ph)
