Skydreamer Feature: Chedz Cakes in Cebu

You should know me by now, right? I love food and that includes great desserts specially if they're coffee based. So I'd like to introduce you to one of Cebu's best non-commercial cakes around - Chedz!

Can I tempt you with these amazing cakes?

Classic Cakes from Chedz

There were four gorgeous cakes in the box, and my favorite was their Cebu Mango cake. It was beyond delicious - it had a layer of mango and cream inside which made it more satisfying than the usual mango cake.

The cappuccino cake was my next favorite - surprise, surprise. The cake was great, I always prefer coffee based desserts, but the mango cake was better.

My next favorite is their black forest cake. This kind of cake was my favorite back in college and I would constantly buy a slice from Ana Maria (in Dumaguete City). I loved it so much that my mom bought me one big layer on my birthday then. So anyway, my taste has obviously evolved from black forest to other amazing flavors. Chedz' version of black forest is different from Ana Maria's, but it's still great.

Last is their ube (yam) cake. Now, I'm not a very big ube cake fan. I love homemade ube halaya, but anything else ube flavored is just okay for me.

Skydreamer Eats: Chili cheese pork rolls

It has been gloomy the past couple of days with rains and thunderstorms. There's no better way to perk up in this cold weather than a bowl of hot soup and chili.

To make a batch of these awesome chili rolls, you need some type of meat. I used ground pork, but you can also use beef or chicken. Whatever you fancy.
You also need spring roll wrappers and chillis.



Chili Cheese Pork Rolls

 
First, heat up your non-stick pan with a splash of olive/vegetable/canola oil.
Add meat, and season with salt and pepper.
Once your meat has browned, set that aside.

Prepare your chili by taking out the seeds.
Put the meat inside your chili and wrap it, along with mozzarella cheese, in a spring roll wrapper.

Fry it again in a non-stick pan with your preferred oil.

Serve with a hearty bowl of tomato soup. Recipe found HERE. xx

Skydreamer Dines in Cebu: Lemon Grass

Fancy a Thai or Viet food fix? If anyone asked me that, I'd be the first to raise my hand. A few weeks ago, we went to Lemon Grass and I loved what we ordered specially their Pad Thai (it can definitely give Siam's version a run for their money).

Everything we ordered was really good, but their Jasmine rice was too dry.

Their prices are reasonable for the gastronomic adventure you will be able to take. The staff is attentive and polite. And did I mention their food is great?

Go and check them out at Level 1, The Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu if you haven't already.
