A Very Purple Oven

Sounds intriguing right? A purple oven?

Tucked in the quiet San Antonio Plaza Arcade at Mckinley Road, Taguig is a cute cozy bakeshop called Purple Oven. They bake and sell scrumptious pastries and cakes. Their products are guaranteed fresh since they sell goodies fresh from the oven. They even have a schedule on what pastry will be out – this means that not all their pastries are available all the time so make sure you catch their schedule. Purple oven sells a variety of cakes from classic sans rival to chocolate dome cake to lemon torte to cheesecakes!! You name it! They also have a bunch of savory pastries such as quiche tinapa and ham and cheese croissants.  

I recently visited Purple Oven in San Antonio; I forgot to mention they have four more branches in Luzon. When I went to Purple Oven I just had lunch with a friend so we decided to buy something sweet. Upon entering, the store felt so homey yet sophisticated. There were arrays of cakes in one side of the store and another array of pastries on the opposite side. I gravitated towards the cakes, but I saw that cake orders are not per slice rather as a whole. So, I choose to buy their Fudge Brownie and my friend bought their Chocolate Crinkles. The brownie was moist and it had walnuts inside. I loved it because it was not too sweet. It had the right bitterness and sweetness to it. It also had a crunchy and chewy balance. My friend too was pleased with the crinkles. I brought home the rest of the brownie (because each purchase is a pack of 16 slices) and my parents and brother loved it. Looks like I’ll be back soon J.

You know it’s Christmas when... {Krispy Kreme}

You know it’s Christmas when...

            For me, I know it’s Christmas when Krispy Kreme starts selling their holiday doughnuts.

For the past years I have not yet tasted any holiday doughnut since I would stick to the regulars. So last week, my cousin and I tried the new Krispy Kreme Holiday Doughnuts. We both choose something similar. We picked Original Iced Glazed doughnuts with Holiday Sprinkles. [shown below]

This looks like Christmas :)

Compare the Original Glazed from the Holiday Doughnut

These doughnuts were very yummy. It had the same base as the Original Glazed Doughnuts, but the thing that made this doughnut special and Chrismasy was the ice glaze and holiday sprinkles. The glaze is thicker than the original glaze which makes it a little sweeter (but not totally sweeter than the original… just a bit J). The holiday sprinkle definitely defines the doughnut from the regulars.

Along with the two types of holiday sprinkled doughnuts, the Snowman and the Present or Gift [I was not sure of what the name was (please forgive the writerJ)] doughnuts add to the Holiday doughnut series. As the name suggest, these doughnuts looks like a snowman and a gift because of the shape and design. The snowman had cute little details like a scarf, a nose, eyes, and buttons.

            So before this Holiday Season ends… make sure you at least tasted one of these Krispy Kreme doughnuts. And oh! Don’t forget to comment on your Krispy Kreme Holiday Doughnut experience. Merry Christmas!
