Calea's Best Seller Ice Cream Cake


It was the month of June when my parents left to go to Bacolod City for a vacation. Since I also missed my home town, I decided to go after them. During our stay there, my twin and I strolled the malls. We passed by Calea, a known pastry shop in Bacolod and decided to give ourselves a treat. We usually order their for ther chocolate cake but this time we wanted something different. My sister in law told me that their ice cream cakes are the best so, I told my twin that we should try their ice cream cakes. I asked the staff for their best seller and she pointed to us their chocolate mud pie. So my twin and I had the chocolate mud pie ice cream cake!

REVIEW:
Getting to taste Calea's ice cream cake is heaven. The chocolate mud pie is rich in chocolate ice cream and topped with choco cookie crumbs and walnuts. Though you need to have a glass of water beside you because I find it sweet the longer I eat it. The price is just right for the taste but some would find it expensive.

Perri Todd's All-American Burger


It was May 2012 when my cousins from Cebu came here at Iloilo for a special event. To surprise them, we decided to take them to Perri Todd's for lunch. We were seated in a long table and had a great talk over our sumptuous meal. My cousins were in awe upon seeing that big burger that almost filled the plate. They enjoyed it and left with their stomachs full.

Aside from burgers, Perri Todd's also serves pastas, sizzling chicken, barbecues, salads, some sidings and a lot more. If you want some extra toppings on your burger, you can choose from: bacon, buttered mushroom, grilled pineapple, caramelized onion, cheese, blue cheese or a cheesy mushroom sauce.

Pomodoro


REVIEW:
What I like about the burger is that it's topped with fresh veggies. The dressing is delicious and tasty. The patties is meaty and juicy. For their Pomodoro, the pasta is al dente and the sauce is just right. Perfect with the garlic bread. A must try is their Todd's potato which is a mojo version and their onion rings. The only thing I have to comment is their restaurant space. It's small and can accomodate a few people. I guess they need to expand their space so a lot of people could dine in. I'll be giving Perri Todd's a four star rate because of the affordable and delicious food we had.

Handuraw: The best tasting thin crust Pizza

It was summer of last year when my parents and I, together with my twin sister went for a vacation in Cebu. We went to different places and spent some time together with our relatives. We also discovered a great pizza place named Handuraw. Handuraw is a Cebuano term meaning the power to imagine. It was opened on July 2004 and was owned and managed by the Kasidlakan Incorporated. Handuraw is now known as the best place for great tasting thin crust pizzas. It not only offers pizza but also pasta, ciabatta, pica-pica, soups and salads, rice bowl and delectable desserts. It's a haven that brings friends and families together, strengthening their ties over food, art, and music.





Their colorful Menu offers a wide array of delicious foods


Handuraw offers yummy and affordable pizzas.

Cheesy Cheese Pizza



REVIEW:
For my overall rating, I'll be giving Handuraw a five star rate. It's the best pizza I've ever tasted. It's better than the commercial pizzas of those pizza shops found in the malls. The crust is perfect and no burnt edges. The toppings are fresh and cheese is gooey. The pizza is worth the money and it's best to share with your loved ones. I'll definitely try to eat there again!
