1. Milky Cheese Bread – Afford’a Cup 

Soft, pillowy bread slathered with creamy cheese and a hint of sweetness — this Filipino classic from Afford’a Cup is the perfect comfort snack. Pair it with their Ube Bravo Halo-halo, a vibrant purple yam dessert layered with shaved ice, fruits, and condensed milk — a tropical party in every bite! 

2. Special Puto Bumbong – Meryenda 

Bring the spirit of Filipino street festivals to your table with Meryenda’s Special Puto Bumbong. This traditional rice cake, steamed in bamboo and topped with butter, coconut, and muscovado sugar, is chewy, rich, and beautifully nostalgic. 

3. Mango Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk – Siam Thai 

A timeless Thai favorite, Siam’s Mango Sticky Rice is pure sunshine on a plate — ripe mangoes, creamy coconut milk, and perfectly sticky glutinous rice. Each bite balances sweet, salty, and tropical flavors flawlessly. 

4. Filipino Cheesecake Slice – Pita 

Light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet, Pita’s Filipino Cheesecake Slice is a delightful twist on a classic dessert. Creamy yet airy, it melts in your mouth — ideal for anyone who loves a good cheesecake moment! 

5. Milkshake – Hangry Joe’s 

Hangry Joe’s takes the humble milkshake to another level — thick, creamy, and perfectly chilled. Whether you’re cooling off after a spicy meal or just craving something sweet, this milkshake is the ultimate mood booster. 

6. Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea – Bubbleverse 

Dive into the boba craze with Bubbleverse’s Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea — velvety milk tea layered with caramelized brown sugar syrup and chewy tapioca pearls. It’s sweet, smooth, and totally addictive. 

7. Strawberry Buttercream Croffle – Harvest Café 

A heavenly fusion of a croissant and a waffle, the Strawberry Buttercream Croffle from Harvest Café is crisp, buttery, and topped with luscious buttercream and fresh strawberries. If you’re looking for something more indulgent, try their Sans Rival, a Filipino favorite made with layers of meringue and buttercream. 

8. Ras Malai – Simply Indian 

Simply Indian’s Ras Malai is a melt-in-your-mouth treat — soft cheese dumplings soaked in saffron-infused milk, perfectly sweet and aromatic. Or if you prefer something warm and rich, their Gulab Jamun and Shahi Tukra are equally irresistible classics.
