Fresh Mango Cream with Sago and Pomelo at Modern Shanghai
Light and refreshing best describe Modern Shanghai’s best-kept dessert secret — the Fresh Mango Cream with Sago and Pomelo. The sweetness of the mango complements the citrusy goodness of fresh pomelos. Check this dessert out in Modern Shanghai branches located at SM Mall of Asia and in Glorietta 2.
Frozen Green Tea at Tonkatsu by Terazawa
This cake is frozen not baked. Set on a Graham crust and topped with sweet and light meringue, the green tea ice cream is refreshing as it is delicious. What makes this dessert unique and special is that the matcha or green tea powder used in making this treat comes from shade-grown tea leaves used for Japanese tea ceremony.

Turon 2.0 at Siklab
Turon, one of Pinoys’ well-loved street food, is elevated to gourmet status at Siklab. Called Turon 2.0, the sweet treat is served with homemade sugar snap cones filled with banana compote, langka, macapuno and topped with banana ube ice cream. Try this dessert at Siklab in Greenbelt 3.
New York Cheesecake at Italianni’s
Smooth, tight, rich and even in color. I’m referring to the benchmarks of a good cheesecake! At Italianni’s, the New York Cheesecake served on a bed of strawberry and amaretto sauce looks so simple, but tastes divine. One slice is good for two persons. Available in Italianni’s 17 branches.
Banana Crepe at Village Tavern
Not all crepes are created equal — some are flat, others are fat. Village Tavern’s banana crepe is far from ordinary. It consists of two chubby crepe rolls — topped with banana ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce — sitting on a pool of caramel sauce. Enjoy it with family and friends. Visit Village Tavern at the Bonifacio High Street Central.
