Ever since Chymera (of http://www.exploreiloilo.com/) raved about Dulgies' latest offering, banana-strawberry cake, I immediately checked on my calendar and planned my Dulgies trip.
Today, I had to pass by the cafe again and again to check the crowd; the smaller the better since I am going to take pictures. Finally I decided enter the cafe an hour before closing time upon seeing only two customers.
Good thing there's still few slices left of my "cake of the moment". I also decided to have another cake, pecan-caramel cheesecake, since it was the only one I haven’t tasted yet among their display.

Banana-Strawberry Cake
Made with layers of banana cake and white icing and topped with strawberry preserves. The banana cake layer tamed the sweetness of the icing and strawberry, but it still too sweet for me that I didn't finish the icing and toppings. For me it was good but not spectacular.
Pecan-Caramel Cheesecake
It’s just the usual cheesecake with pecan and caramel topping. This is what I like about Dulgies cheesecake; they don’t "shortchange" you on the cheesecake. It comes thick and always worth it. I finished this one but felt my blood sugar was at alarming level.
Rants (for the first time)
I was dismayed with this Dulgies visit! My order took too long to be served! I've been there many times not to notice the difference.
When I asked for additional water, I was given water at room temperature with no ice! I did not ask for cold water nor ice since my head was sort of spinning. Too much sweet in just one sitting!
I also felt the staff were eager to go home and they see us customers as hindrance.
And lastly, for the first time I sort of regretted my orders and wish I just had their D Club sandwich and I could have went home happier!
(Can’t believe I said this about Dulgies, maybe I had too much sugar intake until now)
