I thought my latest trip to Dulgies would be another rehash of what I've eaten there since this would be my nth visit. But I'm glad I was wrong, they had new items (or those we missed before) on their display and gladly took on the challenge of ordering them.
Presenting, their Japanese cheesecake and bread pudding with ice cream.
Not really enticing on ther display plus the fact that it costs a hundred bucks, this Japanese cheesecake looks like a simple and fluffy mamon. It has no strawberry glaze topping when displayed so those with no ideas regarding this (including me) wouldn't dare try. Good thing Lee was courageous enough since he was curious what makes it "Japanese".
Surprisingly it arrived with a strawberry glaze and upon closer inspection, it really looks like mamon with those air holes. But once you tasted it, you can sigh since it really is cheesecake. I still dont know what made it Japanese (do enlighten us if you have an idea) but noticed it was lighter than the usual cheesecake and sort of fluffy. Just imagine a a mamon made of cheesecake. It is also versatile since any topping would do and I hope that next time, they ask the customers which one they would prefer like blueberry, cheeries or even caramel for a much interactive take.
It was the ice cream that caught our attention for this order since pudding along would be too expensive for PhP68. It was an unappealing display yet still we got one rather than making another repeat order.
It came with vanilla ice cream but smothered with caramel sauce. Ofcourse it was ice cream first but when it was time to taste the pudding itself, I was surprised it really was good. Though it didn't tasted like pudding for me, more likely it had a leche flan layer. It was messy alright but really a good one since it had a varied texture and taste.
I had really a good time that afternoon and a fitting finale to our visit to Dulgies. As usual thanks to Lee.
