~>NORTH PARK (Market! Market!)

     
     Chinese food and Filipino cuisine blended to suit the tastes of a variety of races. That is what North Park is all about. Supreme taste for your money's worth, no doubt.

                        
    
     We ordered a Light Nanking Beef Noodle. It cost P126.00. The noodles were springy and the taste of the soup was just right. Also, the beef was soft and tender. Yum!

                      
    
     Another one was the Crystal Prawn blanched in Congee with Shitake mushroom. The mushroom ingredient of the dish was what made me order it as I am such a mushroom fan. It was just 138 pesos!

                         

     Next one was the famous North Park Chow Mien, a favorite of mine. With just 238 pesos, it can already serve 3-4 persons. I simply love this dish and I never tire of ordering and eating it.

                      

     We all washed these down with a glass of Honey Lemonade each for 68 pesos.

                    

     Needless to say, I enjoyed my North Park experience and I will surely come back there for more! 

     Have you been to North Park lately?

~>SECRET RECIPE: Chocolate Indulgence Cake


    Imagine the sweet taste of heaven melting in your mouth. Do you taste that? That pure, sickly sweet chocolate flavor with a hint of almond. A sweet tooth's perfect idea of paradise. What I'm describing is The Secret Recipe's Chocolate Indulgence Cake.

                    

    To be honest, I ordered this cake not because I love chocolate. Actually, I'm not someone you would call a chocolate enthusiast. My best friend ordered this cake and I just happened to take a morsel of it from her.

     I thought to myself, "Oh, no, this is just going to taste like any other cake." I was used to chocolate cakes. They all tasted too sweet, too bittersweet, or too bland. This cake, however, was an only exception. Needless to say, I almost forgot to give my best friend her fork back. This cake really had me addicted.


                     

    Upon tasting my first bite, I felt it immediately melting in my tongue. It made me think of those lazy Sunday mornings when my mother would just ask me and my brother to help her bake a cake. It tasted like dark chocolate, milk chocolate and regular chocolate without being overly sweet. 

    Overall, it was the right amount of sweetness enough to leave me wanting for more. It was also a bonus that the staff there were accommodating to the both of us. 

     It was totally worth 95 pesos!

     How about you? What is your favorite cake? :)
