There are so many new restaurants here,
there and just about everywhere! I went crazy when I spotted Molito, the new
foodie haven in the south. I saw several new establishments I have never seen
before and I am so excited to visit those places soon. Earlier, I posted about Ramen
Yushoken. The place offer really flavorful ramen. Since we still had had 30
minutes to explore Molito
before going home, my sister and I dashed to Le Petit Cheri.
Hello, Le Petit Cheri.
It had an
eerie ambiance as we were the only ones there when we visited. And it didn’t seem
to be a good sign. But it was recommended by a few friends so I had faith in
this establishment.
Since we
were not in the mood for anything savory, we went straight to desserts and
stared at the display cooler. I got the White
Chocolate Cheesecake (PHP148), Baked
Polvoron (PHP78) and several macarons: Caramel,
Salted Coffee, Purple Yam, Red Velvet, and Strawberry (PHP38 each).
I ordered
the baked polvoron since it intrigued me. I love polvoron
but I never really had a chance to try a baked version of it. The texture was
similar to a rather hard cookie and it wasn’t as sweet as the well-loved
Goldilocks polvoron. Actually, it tasted just like a slightly bland cookie.
I ordered
the White
Chocolate Cheesecake
since it was the most photogenic among the cakes available then. It was very
dense and thick and it didn’t have the tart that I like from cheesecakes.
It also made me remember why I don’t like white chocolate. In short, I will not
order this again… ever. But white chocolate lovers might enjoy this.
