Bikini season is over; we can indulge again!:p Here are some desserts that would make this schoolyear a little more cheerful despite the El Niño heat:

1. Whole Pet Kitchen & Barkery (San Juan)

      Dog & cat lovers need not worry as they can enjoy yummy desserts with their beloved pets. Human & animal desserts are in store all year round.

      Here you can eat gelato in a different way each day of the month; their Balsamic Strawberry & Salted Caramel are the best.

      Who would think this is actually Tiramisu? Everything is edible; including the soil and flower. Just cute.

5. Prime 101 (Chino Roces)

      Chef Marco is amazing with desserts; each plate is a work of art. Too beautiful to eat, too yummy to resist.

      Their guava cheesecake is ultimate nirvana!

10. Vanilla Cupcake Bakery

      I was able to try their strawberry cheesecake during Menchu's baby shower; tart (I <3!) The size is good for portion control:p

PAT's Top 10 Most Memorable Steaks

This Fathers' Day, eat like a man & treat your dad to some nice steak. Here are some of the most memorable & affordable meats I've tried over the past year

1. Gaucho (Robinson's Magnolia) 

      As you lounge comfortably & buzz on wine, you can go for Argentinian pork, lamb, beef & chicken. Their modern glass encased "a la Cruz" roasting pit is a sight to behold.

2. Prime 101 (Chino Roces)

      Everything here is just a suggestion on a blackboard; you can freely customize your fave comfort food. You can have Chef Marco cook anything your heart desires (Japanese, Italian, French, Indian, Filipino, Thai, Spanish, etc). Plus you can order customized furniture afterwards 

3. Trattoria Poggio Antico (Mc Kinley Hill)

      Quaint & reminscent of Florence, their steaks are sumptuous! (try their mushroom crepe too:p)

4. Dulcelin Gourmet (UP Ayala Hub)

      This bright place offers more than just mango tort for Christmas.. their meats are made super tender the French way! 

5. 2nd's (BGC)

      Your ultimate go-to place for comfort food where second helpings are expected and appreciated.

6. Galileo Enotica (Mandaluyong/ Eastwood)

      Here everything is authentic (even the owner/founder is Italian!). If you're still craving for more at home, you can also shop for ham, wine & cheese in their deli.

7. Rub (Kapitolyo, Pasig)

      Everything here is good & gives you value for your money (even their house blend iced tea!)

8. Vask Modernist Kitchen (BGC)

      Come and be amazed at the culinary magic of a Michelin Star chef. The flavors of unlikely flowers and herbs will surprise you.

9. Krazy Garlic (BGC)

      Everything here is garlickin' good

10. Meat plus (Subic)

      After a day of adventure & fun outdoors, a hefty serving of US grade steak would cap it off nicely. Their potato gratin is the creamiest!
