Tiny Kitchen in Davao City is located at F. Torres St Poblacion District, Davao City Davao del Sur, Philippines‎. They are known for their cakes and salad, pasta, pizza. I have come to this restaurant because of word mouth through social medias. They say cakes are delicious here, so I tried. I bought a slice of their blueberry cheesecake. 

Tiny Kitchen's Blueberry Cheesecake

This is a baked cheesecake, at first it is delicious, after a while, I taste the sour cream most, unlike the sugar munch's blueberry cheesecake and cafe tavera's blueberry cheesecake.

I was very curious about the Munchtown restaurant in SM Lanang, Davao City. I tried dining in, ordered some food and tried their caramel cheesecake. It was so tempting, but when you taste it, honestly it is nothing special about their caramel cheesecake. Not so yummy at all. That's my taste, I don't know to others. It is everybody's opinion.

Its bold and innovative cooking using regionally sourced, seasonal produce has brought it rapid acceptance and numerous praises from Davaenos. Cafe Tavera is a local gem built by a team of people, who are passionate about fine dining and hospitality. The restaurant's name derives from its address of Tavera Street and permeates throughout the business, from subtle architectural details to the menu list!

I had to taste their blueberry cheesecake and wham, it is really delicious, fluffy, light, not so sweet, and it melts directly in your mouth. It is super delicious. If you ask me, comparing it to Sugar Munch's, I suggest, this one's I will still pick.

Bo's Cafe is like Starbucks who sells varieties of coffee, cappuccino, smoothies and the like. They also sells varieties of desserts, salads and sandwiches. 

Since I have tried New York Cheesecake of Starbucks, so I tried also their New York Cheesecake. This is just a review for their New York Cheesecake. It is like an ordinary egg pie when you see it, but when you taste it, not so sweet also but compare it to Starbucks, I've prefer Starbucks' New York Cheesecake. No offense Bo's Cafe but this is only in my point of view.

Just try it yourself folks.

We know Starbucks as a coffee shop and sells also varieties of desserts, salads, sandwiches, paninis and the like. One cake that they have that I want to give a review is their New York Cheesecake.

New York Cheesecake is very popular dessert, and honestly my first time to taste it...

Roasted above but the inside filling is yummy. The crust is not sweet and its good. Its delicious but I can taste more of its sour cream.

This is New York Cheesecake of Starbuck SM Ecoland, Davao City.

I was curious of the cookies and cream cake of Sugar Munch, so I bought one. The staff says its an ice cream cake covered with chocolate... The cookies and cream was inside when you taste it. The covered chocolate is not so sweet and it really combines with the cookies and cream. Yum Yum...Try one today

Cookies and Cream Cake

Ice cream anyone? hmm..This is a favorite treat loved by everyone else. You can have any flavors like vanilla, chocolate, even reese and butterfinger flavors and the like. It also has fruit flavors like mango, strawberry, mangosteen and more.

But how about Durian Ice Cream??? Durian is a fruit that has a saying "Smells Like Hell, Tastes Like Heaven". Durian is the main fruit here in Davao City, and it's flowing everywhere with a cheap price.

I have this encounter of home made durian ice cream that is so easy to make.

Ingredients:

2 cans of nestle cream
1 can of condensed milk
1 can of evaporated milk
5 pcs of durian (separate the seed from it)

Procedure:
1. Blend the durian in a blender machine.
2. Mix 2 cans of nestle cream, 1 can of condensed milk , 1 can of evaporated milk in a bowl with a mixer. Then add the durian blended a while ago, if the mixture is fluffy.
3. Freeze it for 6 hours.
4. Mix it again with the mixer.
5. Freeze it for 8 hours.

There you have it...Very Easy Home Made Durian ice cream

 The French Baker has built its success for innovation: to take the idea of neighborhood bakery to the next level, allowing every Filipino to enjoy freshly-baked, high-quality, and affordable breads.

Baguettes, scones, croissants, Belgian waffles, parisiennes, crepes, bagles, Danishes sourdough bread and ciabatta have now become as familiar to Filipinos as pandesal, monay and ensaymada. Read More About French Baker Here...




I am not an affiliate of french baker but I do want to review their blueberry cheesecake. See below..

This (above) blueberry cheesecake costs PhP82.00, too small for PhP82.00. The taste is good but compare it to the blueberry cheesescake of  Sugar Munch, I'd say, still Sugar Munch's Blueberry cheesecake tastes good than the french baker blueberry cheesecake..But still this will depend on our taste buds right... I was just curious about their blueberry cheesecake and have it a try. Feel free to comment...

Hair Dryer as Cake Decorating Tool?? Who would have thought?! smile emoticon

To gloss the frosting on a freshly baked cake, lightly blow warm air over the top and the sides of the cake until the frosting melts a little. When it cools, the surface will stay shiny for a professional finish.

BAKING101: Put coarse sea salt on top of your chocolate chip cookies to take them to the next-level. 

Why?

The salt will make the chocolate and the butter taste even richer.

Look at the photo below and check how a cake fails.

Baking101: "DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT!" - To get the perfect texture for cakes and cookies. For cakes dropping it before putting it in the oven gets the air bubbles out. For cookies, dropping the cookie sheet when it comes out of the oven makes them settle faster.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is a cafe who serves coffee, tea and other pastries. I have bought their The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Chicago Cheesecake. The sour cream over indulge the cheesecake, the sweetness is medium sweet. It is creamy though. You should try it too.

JELL-O No Bake Desserts are simply sensational desserts that you can prepare in only 15 minutes-without baking.

Many of us loved no bake desserts because they are so easy to prepare and waiting time before we can eat it is just 1 hour. I tried making this JELL-O Oreo No Bake Dessert to check if this is delicious. OREO as you can see is a favorite with both adults and kids with this JELL-O Oreo No Bake Dessert, it has real OREO cookie pieces, a luscious creamy filling, and a chocolaty OREO crust that most of us loved.

Below image is the one I bought and wants to try

It consists 3 packages inside. Step 1 is for the crust. Step 2 is for the filling and step 3 is for the cookie pieces.

What You'll need:

Crust: 4 Tbsp. margarine or butter, melted
Filling: 1 and 1/3 cups cold milk (fresh milk will do)

Note: for best flavor, do not use prepared nonfat dry milk. Filling will have a soft set if made with soy milk.

Procedure:
1. Stir crust mix and margarine in 8-inch square dish until crumbs are evenly moistened. PRESS onto bottom of dish.

2. Pour milk into medium bowl. Add Filling Mix. Beat with mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then bear on medium speed 3 minutes. (Do not underbeat) Reserve 1/2 cup Cookie pieces; gently stir remaining into filling  until well blended. Spoon into crust.

3. Top dessert with reserved cookie pieces. (Or, for a crunchier topping, sprinkle reserved cookie pieces over chilled dessert just before serving.)
Refrigerate 1 hour. Dessert can also be served frozen. Wrap tightly. Freeze 4 hours or until firm.

4. Dip dish, just to rim, in hot water 30 seconds for easy cutting and serving. Store in refrigerator.

Tips:
TO FREEZE: Wrap tightly; freeze up to 2 weeks. Thaw in refrigerator 1 hour before serving.

TO DOUBLE RECIPE: Prepare 2 packages in 13x9 inch pan.

Here's the finished product:

and it tasted soo good.

Oreo Cheesecake Lovers out there, I have tried this cheesecake from french baker. It costs Php 85.00, and a really small square only. if you have a big mouth then it will just be one big bite. The only thing that I like in this is that the cheesecake is not sweet, the only sweet thing is the oreo as the base. I recommend this those having diabetes also.

Everyone loves Valentines, even the singles of course and especially for lovers. For me Valentines is a day of sweet treats because all the sweets are coming out of sale. Don't you agree??? I love sweets, so I bought for myself a blueberry cheesecake from Sugar Munch. 

Of all the cakes I tasted from Sugar Munch store, I never tasted their blueberry cheesecake. I thought it will be just like the same blueberry cheesecakes I have tasted from other stores. So for this day I treated myself to it and wow it tastes so good, not too sweet. I recommended this for all those who have diabetes, because you have nothing to worry about.

If you are in Davao City, you should definitely visit one of their stores and try their sumptuous cakes.
