Bacolod Food Chronicles: Cafe Bob's

Before heading to Bacolod, I was told of the places/restaurants that I should visit. Cafe Bob's was somewhere on the top of the list.

Cafe Bob's is along Lacson St. and it's this wonderful glass establishment that takes advantage of the sunlight. Their interior was cute - it was like one of those small cute cafes except it was big. Troll.

Red Velvet Cake
Their food was meh there was nothing new, interesting and highly exciting about it. Especially the frappe that I ordered. If I remember it right, it's a coffee-based drink with Oreos blended into it. I took a sip and no Oreos in it. If only I knew that they meant Oreos will be used to garnish the drink, I would have ordered something else.

It wasn't all that bad though, their Red Velvet cake was good. Although I'm still on the look out for that perfect Red Velvet, this can be a basis for when I taste other Red Velvet cupcakes or cakes. The prices though were a bit cheaper than it would be in Manila but compared to other cafes in Bacolod, Cafe Bob's would be on the slightly expensive side. It was worth a try. I would definitely go back and try their other pastries and pizzas.

Bacolod, wait for me! lol

Bacolod Food Chronicles

Weeks have passed since my sister and I arrived from Bacolod - the land of sugarcane. I miss it already.

For the whole 4 days and 3 nights that we were there, we ate in 12 different restaurants, cafes, etc. It was exciting and fattening but what can I do, food loves me back.

My sister and I decided to walk along Lacson street so that we can walk in to almost every store we pass by. Somewhere along Lacson we stumbled upon Flibby's Cupcakes.

Flibby's Cupcakes is a small store and you barely notice it when you're riding a car or jeep passing along that road. The store displayed a variety of cute a delicious looking cupcakes. Even the flavours they offered were interesting! It sure did get my taste buds tingling! Haha

Here's an example of their flavours:

Banoffee Cupcake

Maple Choco Chip Pancake

Key Lime Margarita Cupcake
Their prices range from Php 40.00 to Php 65.00. These pastries are fairly priced considering the presentation and serving size. It's very pretty and filling to look at although I don't agree when it comes to taste.

I had the Maple Choco Chip Pancake cupcake and I was really excited to eat it. I remember how I would make pancakes and mix chocolate chips in the batter then drizzle it with more chocolate later on. I remember the pancakes being fluffy and soft. This cupcake was very sad. It was stiff and very dry although the frosting was sweet and had a little bit of coffee mixed into it, the texture was just too rough. The over all idea of having a breakfast cupcake was interesting but I guess they weren't able to make that breakfast wonderful :(

On the other hand, their Banoffee cupcake was interesting. The term "banofee" is usually followed by a "pie" which meant it had a bit of a crunch to it. It's cute how they jammed the banana, coffee, chocolate and caramel flavors into one small cupcake. It tasted fine, nothing extra ordinary about it. The cupcake would have tasted better if they used whipped cream instead of that grainy frosting.

I'm not sure if Flibby's is a newly opened store but I'm guess it's fairly new considering that they still have to improve on their recipes. LOL. Well, the next time I go to Bacolod, I'll definitely come back and have another round of cupcakes to taste.. or judge. LOL
