I find it fascinating how Manila became such
an interesting place for foodies. Gone are the days where we’re stuck with just
Jollibee,
McDonald’s,
Max’s,
or Goldilocks
as choices for afternoon snacks. Today, some people hate being asked, “Where do
we eat?” as the choices are endless! (And foodies like me get grumpy when you
choose an establishment I have already visited.) I am so fortunate though to
live near some foodie
hotspots. And with the malls bringing in more and more restaurants and whatnot,
I get to try more dishes without traveling too far. And last weekend, I spotted
Dolce Latte.
Hello, Dolce Latte!
I’ve heard
of this place during the peak of the Cronut™
craze. I heard that Dolce Latte offers the best Cronuts™ in Manila (though some
say that Wildflour deserves the title). However, I never got the chance to
visit the place because the store’s located in Quezon
City. It’s not exactly my territory and the only places I visit when I’m
around the area are Teachers
Village, Katipunan,
UP,
or White
Plains. But here we are, a year later and I finally get to visit Dolce
Latte. <3
Okay, I was
originally planning to visit St. Marc Café
but after staring at the Chococho, I backed out. It looked too sinful. Plus the
place was packed. Not a single chair was vacant when I visited. So I went up
with the intent to look for something less fattening. But I ended up buying the
following: Valrhona Crunch Cronut™ (PHP120),
Raspberry Cronut™ (PHP120) and Hot Chocolate Double Doughnut
(PHP60). (What diet?!)
The
Raspberry Cronut™ tasted somewhat similar with Le Coeur de France’s berry Cronut™.
It’s something foodies who are not fond of chocolates would appreciate.
But my favorite
was the Hot Chocolate double doughnut.
It was oozing with chocolate! Every bite is sure to be chocolatey. The
doughnuts are stuffed with melted
chocolate and the great thing here was, it wasn’t the too sweet (umay) type. Its sweetness level was the
I-want-more-of-this-thing type. Plus at PHP60, it was such a sweet deal!
I seriously
want more!!! But I’ll have to work out a bit more too before my next trip.
Dolce Latte is located at 5th
Floor, Fashion Hall, Megamall, Mandaluyong City.
