Dairy Queen Ice Cream Mango Cheesecake in a To-Go Tin (P449.00) via Grab Food (+ delivery fee). This is their small 6" tin, filled with vanilla soft serve and toppings (mango slices, cheesecake bits, and whipped cream). Looks very nice but tastes bland on its own kasi konti lang ang toppings, so we paired it with my cousin's homemade fudgy chocolate cake! Cake à la mode ❤ 

It’s dry! 🙁 What happened? This is the 2nd consecutive roll that we’ve bought from the Red Ribbon Bicutan branch at Dona Soledad Avenue… The previous one was the mango roll; it was dry too. Red Ribbon used to be our go-to shop for affordable roll cakes because they were so moist , but the quality has gone down. 😢 The Red Ribbon Ube Bloom round cake that we ordered last year 2021 was delicious though, so maybe it's just the rolls that changed.

  APRIL 2021: This is one beautiful and delicious cake! Red Ribbon's Ube Bloom cake is well-made. That orchid looks too good to eat. This is their "regular" size... Red Ribbon Ube Bloom Cake price via Grab: P649.00.

Here's another kind of choco cake roll from Red Ribbon. They thought the last one was so good (ditto!) that they bought another kind of chocolate roll last night. See how shiny that icing is... and how rich that cake is... and btw, it really is not THAT sweet at all (unless all you eat is the icing, of course!) I didn't ask what the name of this roll was, but it was fudge-y and oh-so-yummy. On a different note, don't you hate it when you ask for coffee in the morning and you get decaf?!? I was like, don't give me decaf when I want regular coffee!!! Oh boy... So, I drank a full glass of Pepsi max, straight, just now to get my caffeine fix today. Now, my head hurts and I want to crawl back to bed. It's probably my high blood pressure pumping away and not the Pepsi that's causing this. Oh well, that's enough rant for today... :)
