Baguio Country Club Cheese Bread

My sister went to Baguio, Ifugao, etc. last week. She brought home a bunch of goodies including this: It’s supposed to be a cheese bread but it’s filled with walnuts and dried fruit. It’s like a fruit cake inside. I didn’t like this. I like sweet and savory but this was just terrible. I like dried fruits as my grandma makes a mean fruitcake and she uses the same ingredients. I just didn’t appreciate this. It really tasted weird for me. The filling just does not go with the bread.

Baguio Country Club Carrot Loaf

Another pasalubong from my sister. I had this for breakfast last Sunday. I like this waaay better than the cheese bread although it still has some faults. The flavor is not what I expected it to be. I think a little salt in the batter would have made wonders. The walnuts were a bit bitter. Other people would probably say that this needs to be sweeter. I’m not a big fan of sweets so the sweetness is just okay for me. It wasn’t dry. I ate this cold, straight out of the fridge. That’s how I like my cakes. This is more on the bread side but I still treat it as a cake. I will probably eat this for breakfast for the next few days. I’m thinking bacon would go well with this and a glass of milk.

Beryl's Mint and Bitter Chocolate

I found this box of chocolates at a 7-Eleven near our office. At first I thought it was like Andes - mint sandwiched between 2 parts chocolate so imagine my surprise when I peeled off the foil. They were separate! Sure, there's a picture on the cover but I thought it was just an exaggeration or to emphasize that this is a mint chocolate, much like what other brands do. I liked the dark chocolate. Really bitter but not ampalaya bitter. The mint, not so much. I love mint chocolate but this I think was too much. I guess this is white chocolate with a few drops of mint. I never liked white chocolate. A mint bar trying hard to be chocolate is too much. It's like eating toothpaste. So what I did was I put the chocolate bar on top of the mint bar and bit. Now that's better! Not Andes taste and quality but heck for P57 a pop, I'd gladly buy another one when the craving hits and the money is low.
