Best kept secrets - Nic's Gourmet Desserts

The Clairvoyant and I had brunch with a good friend somewhere in Mandaluyong City. It was a long time since I've been in the area and so had to check the map for directions to Nic's Gourmet Desserts along Mabini Street in San Juan City, Metro Manila. The exact address of the place is in their homepage in the link provided. Going there and finding the place is quite easy and we did so via Shaw Boulevard, which to me was the most direct way of getting to Nic's. What we found was a nice small resto-shop that's full of delights, especially for sweet tooths like me. We had a good meal and tasted their smoked milkfish, which goes very well with their wheat crisps and to me would also go well with rice in a regular meal. We ended up buying a pack consisting of a bottle of spicy smoked milkfish and parmesan wheat crisps that we served on Christmas Eve.

What caught my attention and which amused the Clairvoyant was Nic's selection of cakes. We sampled two after brunch and were impressed by the quality of the red velvet (among their best sellers) and chocolate cake (I forget exactly which chocolate cake it was.).

Satisfied customers!

We should go back to Nic's to get some cakes for our consumption as well as to give to family and friends. :)
