After a humongous lunch or a heavy snack,
we all want to have a splash of tea or coffee. At gano’n din kami nila bestie
Emil and vff Heidi, though, ako gusto ko cake and fruit shake. So, dumeretso
kami sa Forget Me Not Café na nasa tawiran lang ng Barneys Burger kung saan
kami nag-dinner. Isang fab café ang Forget Me Not na nasa Lilac, Marikina din at
tunay nga namang nakakabighani ang itsura nito sa loob. Madami kang makikitang
paintings na nakasabit sa mga pader, pati ang menu books nila nakasabit sa
pader creating the words “Forget Me Not”. How creative, ‘di ba? Three years na
daw ang café na ito sabi ng isa nilang server na aking nakapanayam. Meron daw
silang three floors, the first two floors are for guests at ang third floor
naman daw ay ang production area nila kung saan nila ginagawa ang mga napakasarap
na cakes nila.
Sa counter naman nila naka-display ang mga
cake offerings nila. Grabe, na-miss ko agad ang pagiging pastry cook ko no’ng
makita ko ang mga selection nila. Ang bestsellers nila ay ang Mallow, Rainbow
at Devil’s Cake. At siyempre iba iba kami ng in-order para matikman namin ang
varieties. I ordered Lava cake, si bestie Emil ay Dome, at si vff Heidi naman
ay Mallow. At siyempre strawberry milkshake sa ‘kin at steamed milk ang sa
kanila for our bevs.
Time to eat! ‘Yung Mallow ay isang moist
chocolate cake na may chocolate ganache and small chocolate Kisses sa filling
and on top of it ay roasted marshmallows—smores. It was so moist and chewy. And
it will compliment kung hot tea ang partner niya. ‘Yung Dome naman ay para ding
Mallow ang crust ng cake, moist chocolate cake din, ang difference lang ay
meron itong dalawang frostings, white icing sa taas at chocolate icing sa baba.
At ‘yung sa ‘kin na Lava cake ay may sorpresang dala. It was wonderful at
sight, moist chocolate cake served with vanilla ice cream on top. At kapag
sinimulan mo itong kainin, sa gitna ay may oozing chocolate filling, para ngang
lava. I love its surprise! Tapos ‘yung strawberry milkshake ko was super creamy
yet the presence of the strawberries still lingered. For me, perfect combo ang
Lava cake at strawberry milkshake.
Sugar rush! I know, it was all too
chocolate-y for the three of us kaya
naman ang hyper naming tatlo na kung ano ano na lang ang pinagusapan katulad ng
under-the-table, “What’s keeping you?”, at ang mahiwagang fingers. Haha! I
don’t want to get into further details basta that night was filled with
chocolates, fun stories and laughter. It was a night to remember at Forget Me Not.
Maliban sa masarap na cakes at bevs nila
sa Forget Me Not ay meron din silang offerings na tiyak ay aming lalantakan sa
muli naming pagbabalik sa café na ito.
