After circling the general area where Si Christina Gateau Sans Rival was supposed to be, we finally found the cozy cafe across the market. Our group of 10 filled up the shop which could squeeze in maybe 15 diners at a time.
We ordered up a storm of desserts, hot chocolate and coffee. We instructed the servers to give us one of each dessert item that was available. First up, were the Frozen Brazo which came in original, strawberry and ube. I only tried the original flavor which was just ok for me. The rest of the gang enjoyed the Frozen Brazo and took a few pieces home. Good thing we had a small cooler with us.
I enjoyed the rich, creamy and moist Red Velvet Cupcake with the subtle and pretty cream cheese frosting. The Brazo de Mercedez was soft and fluffy but nothing beats my relatives version at Vargas Kitchen.
The Graham Cheesecake was pretty good. I appreciated that they served the blueberries on the side.
The Chocolate Chunk Cookie was hard and dry.
We also had the New York Cheesecake, Apple Walnut and Sans Rival. I preferred the Graham Cheesecake over the New York Cheesecake. As for the other 2, I don't recall how they were.
What I loved most about this leg of the food trip were the cheesecakes and the design of the mismatched serving plates. Our coffee and dessert cravings were satisfied. Thank you Ms. Patis Tesoro for the recommendation.
