Have a sweet tooth? Treat yourself to something delicious. The good news is there are a lot irresistible desserts around Davao. Bakeshops, desserts shops, food entrepreneurs, and home bakers are aplenty. Problem is it can get confusing. So we bring you here our favorites and recommendations so can better choose the best ones to suit your budget and your taste. These may not necessarily be the best Davao Desserts but we can assure you all these are personally picked and endorsed by Davao Bloggers.

Classic Davao Desserts

Let’s start off with two favorites by many who grew up in Davao City.

Davao Desserts: Butter Roll by Bistro Rosario
Butter Roll by Bistro Rosario

Plain and simple. But definitely not boring. We will never get tired of Bistro Rosario’s Butter Roll. This is Miah‘s favorite. And she shares that it is her daughter Miel’s favorite, as well. Miel can even finish off an entire roll on her own. We’re pretty sure Miel is not the only one who can finish this entire roll on their own.

We also love their cakes. We highly recommend their Mango Charlotte Cake and their pretty Ribonette Cake. These are perfect for special occasions. Or to make ordinary days special.

Bistro Rosario is open for dine in and takeout. Contact them at +6382-2217780. Follow them on Facebook at fb.com/bistrorosariodvo.

Cecil’s Bakeshoppe

Another Davao homegrown bakery that we recommend is Cecil’s Bakeshoppe.

Eclair
Mocha Cake

Nep-C of the Pop Blog picks their Eclair as one of her favorites. And we agree. It is the perfect mix of pastry, cream, and chocolate. This is priced at just P35. And it is easy to find. Just drop by any of their branches. More info below.

Mang Inasal Halo-Halo Header

Mang Inasal Halo-Halo is the Creamiest

Leave a reply

If adobo is the Philippines’ national dish, we think Halo-Halo should be declared as the national dessert. Filipinos and tourists love to eat halo-hallo whatever the weather may be. Especially, when the sun is scorching hot. And of all the halo-halo in the entire archipelago, foodies have declared that the creamiest is Mang Inasal Halo-Halo.

Halo-halo is a popular Filipino dessert which is a rich concoction of various ingredients such as nata de coco, ube, leche flan, pinipig rice, etc. mixed with evaporated milk, all topped in crushed ice and with the option to put ube or vanilla ice cream on top. It can be said that halo-halo represents everything deliciously sweet and indulgent in the Philippines. It contains specialties from around the country. And it has many different permutations in every part of the Philippines.

Mang Inasal Halo-Halo is the Creamiest

Almost all Filipino restaurants –here and abroad — have this dessert on their menu. But one known Filipino restaurant has taken their halo halo game to the next level and they are hailed as the creamiest Pinoy Halo Halo of all: Mang Inasal’s Pinoy Halo-Halo.

Foodies all over the country agree that the generous creamy milk content of Mang Inasal’s Pinoy Halo-Halo makes it a sweet treat worthy of indulging in. The perfect amount of creamy milk harmonizes all the various ingredients together. It has made the difference and has captured not only the taste buds but also the hearts of the Filipinos and tourists as well.

“We are happy to note that our customers crave for the creaminess of the Mang Inasal Pinoy Halo-Halo,” shares Mang Inasal Marketing Director Mike Dumaual. “This milk was exclusively developed for the MI Pinoy Halo-Halo and is not readily available off the shelf,” Dumaual added.

National Halo-Halo Sarap Day

Actress Angel Locsion admits that she loves the creaminess and overall taste of Mang Inasal’s Pinoy Halo-Halo.

Mang Inasal invites you to experience the creamy goodness of their Pinoy Halo-Halo. National Halo Halo Sarap Day is on March 17.

Mang Inasal Davao stores and all Mang Inasal stores nationwide will be selling their Filipino Halo-Halo for only PhP35 for a small serving. A regular serving is priced at PhP55 only. The promo is valid only on March 17, 2019 and for dine in and take out orders only. Grab this opportunity to have a piece of this heavenly creamy Filipino dessert for a fraction of its original cost.

Best Frozen Yoghurt Davao

Best Places to Eat Frozen Yogurt in Davao City

2 Replies

The number of establishments offering frozen yogurt here in Davao can be overwhelming, with a few more springing up, trying their luck amidst the already stiff market. Being a confessed froyo addict, I’ve tried pretty much everything. And I have developed the uncanny ability to weed out the best froyos from the good few.

Best Frozen Yogurt in Davao

Here are my top-rated frozen yogurt places in Davao.

Coffee Cat (Rank: 1) – The first to offer frozen yogurt in the city, Coffee Cat‘s withstood its competition and stayed on top as the best-tasting froyo in Davao City.

Their toppings are generic compared elsewhere, but it’s the perfect combination of smoothness, tartness and sourness of their yogurt that won me over. The classy and sleek interiors of their store don’t hurt either. Try their excellent Yogo smoothies too.
