I love cakes and I love coffee too so when I saw the ad about the unli cakes and coffee at Secret Recipe, how can I say no?! ;)
I went to Shangri-La Mall with bffs Sasa and Zaicy. It's weird but I'm kind of nervous when we got there, haha! Or maybe, I'm just excited!
I ordered their brewed coffee versus the jasmine tea! The coffee's good! I tried the tea once and hated it, I just can't get myself to like something that tastes like sampaguita extract, eeww!
I got to eat 5 slices of cake out of the seven choices. Not bad! I have to admit though that those I cannot finish, I gave to Zaicy! :p
Here are the cakes...
This one's my most favorite. I like that the chiffon is soft and moist (you know it's not stale just because it's on sale, haha!). And I like the icing too, the mild taste of coffee and light sweetness of cream.. yummy!

I wasn't able to try this. I'm not a fan of strawberries so I didn't put it in my priority list, only to find out later that it's no longer available. :( But I bet this one's good too, Sasa and Zaicy liked it!
White Strawberry Cake |
Black Forest Cakes are not my favorite! I don't like the weird combination of cherries and wine. Yet, I still ordered this and after a mouthful, gave the rest to Zaicy! (Good thing, it's his favorite!)

I didn't like this one neither. Something in it makes it hard to swallow!!
Mocha Walnut Cake |
I think this one's the least favorite of everyone! I personally did not order it but I got a piece from Zaicy's slice. I can't describe it, really weird, nutty and salty at the same time? Aren't cakes supposed to be sweet??
Golden Nugget Cake |
I like this one too. Just like those cakes you can order from red ribbon. Nothing special but I guess I really love chocolate and mocha!
Cocoa Mocha Cake |
And surely enough, I loved this one too! Thick and smooth chocolate on top of moist chiffon plus caramel in the middle! If I wasn't that full, I'd order one more!
Moist Chocolate Cake |
Overall, it was a pleasant experience! Secret Recipe has a nice and clean and cool place, the staff were friendly enough and the cakes are delicious! It seems that they are serving half of the cake's usual slice, which I think is ideal so you get to have more space in your tummy and more flavors to indulge with! :)
A friend actually wants to try this again but I guess the promo's no longer available. Maybe we can try the unli cakes and coffee of The Coffee Beanery? :)
I wan't to go on another cake all you can trip! bobongga ko na this time :)
ReplyDeleteGo tayo dun sa SM Marikina naman.. Or keri din sa Shangrila para mas shala.. dun sa The Coffee Beanery.. :)
DeleteAng pastries talaga ang isa sa namiss ko sa Pinas. For me, ang boring ng mga bakeries dito. I'll blog about it when I get a chance to take photos sa bakeries dito.
ReplyDeleteAng pastries kasi dito bongga talaga! Hindi pwede sa diabetic! Sige, I'll watch out for your post! :)
Deletewow! sarap ng cake... Honestly di ko pa yata natikman lahat yan... tuwing bday lang kasi ako bumibili ng cake hahaha...
