Sophie's Mom

Here's the current quick fix of my daughters. This cookie takes place the J.Co doughnuts craze, only because up to the present the whole Manila is still mad crazy about J.Co and it's hard to beat the q in every store.

The cookie is Oreo Cheesecake from Sophie's Mom.




NO q issue here. Buying is easy breezy :)

Never fails.. everytime we step foot at SM or MOA, these girls would buy that cookie each and nibble while strolling at the mall. Most of the time if they are not fully satisfied.. would buy some more for take home.

The Oreo cheesecake cookie is too sweet for me, so one time I tried the one with dried fruit. I forgot the name but it's like dried cranberry I think. I would have liked it if not too sweet. I'm not sure if my sugar tolerance is descending as I age or Sophie's Mom's cookies are just really sweeter than other cookies.

Older daughter actually introduced Sophie's Mom at home. She bought some red velvet cupcakes from here for me and her younger sister. But when they arrived home, the cupcakes were deconstructed and we didn't appreciate it. haha.








We have yet to try the other cupcakes.

Panaderia @ Sonya's Garden

Another reason to frequent Sonya's Garden in Tagaytay is the bakery. It's so country, it's called Panaderia. You could hardly miss it. The sweet aroma of freshly baked breads is dancing with the fragrances of the garden. It's actually located near the entrance, before the main dining hall.

Everything is hot and fresh out of the oven. It got traditional Filipino pastries like monay and the ones below which we particularly purchased...

And sweet tooth favorites :

We bought a pack of each and consumed everything in the car on our way back to Manila. Except for the hopia (husband choice) which only a piece was consumed and the rest I think, until today still sitting unnoticed inside our fridge. We didn't like their hopia with super  thick coverings.



I was looking for Sonya's signature bottled salad dressings and dips. Found not available that day. Others were Tagaytay food products not by Sonya's.
