Sunday morning at the Market at the Hills

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

We bought cakes and pastries from two outlets: Med Chef and Dessert Solutions. Let’s start with Med Chef.

Med Chef was giving some free taste tests, we liked the creme brulee and moist chocolate cake so I ordered one of each. Then, I saw something with mangoes on it and I just had to buy one for my younger daughter Alex who just adores anything with mango.

Mango tart

It was really hard limiting my purchases to three because all their cakes looked delectable but we figured we could always go back and try the others next time.

The verdict? Alex loved the chocolate mango torte (in the photo) but I thought it would have been even better if mangoes were in season. The mangoes were too tart for my taste but then it’s really hard to find sweet mangoes at this time of the year.

The creme brulee with pieces of bread in it was okay although I would have much better preferred it without the bread.

The hands-down winner was the moist chocolate cake. Superlative! The cake was truly soft and moist, the frosting, fudgy, and the level of sweetness was just right.

I mentioned an outlet called Dessert Solutions, didn’t I? That’s their cake display below.

Tiramisu and chocolate mousse from Dessert Solutions

What I really wanted was their chocolate mousse. But I already bought Med Chef’s moist chocolate cake and I thought that another chocolate cake on the same day was too much. So I bought the tiramisu instead. Made with real sponge cake rather than the more commercial lady fingers. But I would have been happier if there was more cheese in it.

Anyway, we’re going back to the Market at the Hills and we’ll bring the girls with us next time. My target? The double decker brownies. We tasted a sample already and my, my, my… I am bringing home a box of the stuff next time. :)

    Its actually Corinthian Hills :) Corinthian Garden is the one along EDSA.

    From EDSA, you turn right on the road w/c also leads you to White Plains, between Camp Aguinaldo and Corinthian Garden. You will see the Mormon church, take a right, that is Temple Drive. Soon on your right, you can’t miss the weekend Market at the Hills.
