    best caramel cake, Costa Brava in Bel-Air, Makati. I swear, even better than the one at Estrel's. Best cheesecake, Gayuma in UP Village. It is topped with grapes and l*ch* flan-like syrup. of course Conti's mango bravo and mango walnut torte from mom and tina's are to die for too. Lastly, gateau de manille's oreo cheesecake! :)

    lemon and herb pie from tina's pie outlet is the best dessert i have discovered this year. you should try it. the frozen mangoes with macadamia nuts is good too :)

    Although this killer dessert is only being sold at a local convenient store, it definitely tops my list...... Ministiop recently introduced a one of a kind cassava cake with a very distinctive taste because of its very special creamy topping that's similar to a l*ch* flan. They call it "Creamy Cassava Cake" and is indeed "to die for".

    Sucree' Torte and Gateau Negra at Sucree are some of the really great tasting cakes. The Chocolate Meringue Mousse of Max Brenner is realy very good too.
