SUGAR at Seven Suites Hotel in Antipolo: A Dessert Bar

One of the best things to do when you are tired and stressed is to eat desserts. As one saying goes, “Stressed spelled backwards is desserts. Coincidence? I think not!”

There is something undeniably magical about desserts which uplift ones spirit. When one is down with depression or is celebrating whatever occassion with friends/family, desserts never seem to be isolated out of the picture. Sometimes, there is no real need for emotional stress or celebration to eat a scrumptious dessert. Sometimes, we just look forward to ending the day with a sweet touch.

Modest Carrot Cake

 Before we get down to the details of what we ate at Sugar, how about I tell you how to go there? Sugar is a dessert bar in Seven SuitesHotel in Antipolo City and is nearby Hollywood Steakhouse. You may view my entry regarding Hollywood Steakhouse and stated in that blog is the directions on how to get there. Sugar/Seven Suites and Hollywood Steakhouse are all in same area.

THE AMBIANCE:

Among other things, the starry parol-like lamp shades is one of your immediate views from where you are in Sugar, a dessert bar in Seven Suites Hotel. Against the cute lamps, you also get to see a scenic view of the pretty Manila city lights. The place is utterly pleasant best enjoyed for unwinding after work/school. I say you can’t go wrong with relaxing while eating a dessert at Sugar.

THE FOOD: Presentation is very important factor in the food industry. As they say, we eat with our eyes first. If you were handed just a plate of plain cake or cookies versus a plate of carefully crafted/beautifully presented cookies, I think you’d choose to eat the latter. What I absolutely love about sugar is they just don’t look beautiful, but they taste even BETTER! I hate it when I get fooled with presentation. Sugar actually delivers and satisfies

Modest Carrot Cake

I can’t lie to you about the Modest Carrot Cake…they are one of the best Carrot Cakes I’ve ever tasted. The interesting part of the presentation is the freshly grated carrot placed on top of the cake scattered all over the plate. It gives a different crunchy texture to the carrot cake itself. And the white sauce is I think a thin cream mixture with condensed milk.

The carrot cake is moist and the sweetness is just right. It also has lots of walnuts and some pineapple tidbits (which adds to the moist-nes). I like the texture and combination of the freshly grated carrot and the carrot cake itself. And since the cake and frosting isn’t too sweet, the white sauce in the bottom gives it another level of sweetness and flavor.

Gone is the Modest Carrot Cake. We were all happy.

   Nostalgic Dark Chocolate Cheese Crumb

The Nostalgic Dark Chocolate Cheese Crumb is totally to dieeee for. I cannot emphasize this enough, the name of the dessert is as interesting as the taste of the dessert itself! There are different flavors going on when you take a big fat bite! The layers of flavors go pleasantly together that it made me close my eyes and think of happy times. I am not kidding. First you have the cheese crumbs sprinkled over the layer of white lemon cream mixture. Then the next layer is the good old dark chocolate goodness, then below it is the cheesy crumb crust. Yum.

I am really dying to have my tongue taste another round of Nostalgic Dark Chocolate Cheese Crumb.. I like the combination of dark chocolate and the lemon-y taste of the whipped cream. I am totally salivating right now.

One choice of dessert at Sugar is actually meant for sharing. This is great when you have a romantic date or share it with a friend. But if you’re selfish like me (when it comes to amazing desserts like these atleast), then do not share and finish it all on your own! 

THE VERDICT: A MUST TRY!! The desserts at Sugar are really scumptious and delicious. Not only is the presentation yummy, but so is the taste! Hindi ka tinipid dito. You don’t know what you are missing
