Conti's Mango Bravo

I’ve been wanting to do a food review for Conti’s Pastry Shop and Restaurant for quite sometime now but I promised to my friend Dada, that he’ll be with me when I do the review. So, for now, I’ll settle with the reviews on Conti’s cakes first. Since, they are quite a few; I’ll be breaking them down into a cake per post.

Let me start off with their Mango Bravo. One of the main reason why BF Homes Paranaque has been a dessert mecca in the south before Conti’s branched out to other places such as San Juan City, Taguig City, Quezon City, Makati City, and Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

Personally, I may have been a cake lover since I was a kid, but I am not really fond of varieties which include fruits in it. I would love my cake to have chocolates, almonds, mallows, vanilla, cream, mousse, and other stuff but fruits. I mean, it’s a cake, it supposed to be sinful in all aspect, why include something healthy on it? I was just a kid then. But as years go by, I’ve come to appreciate other varieties as well. And this includes Conti’s Mango Bravo.

The first time I tasted it, it has become a personal favorite. It’s a chilled layer of sponge cake, cashew, cream, mango chunks, chocolate mousse, meringue-like-textured cake, smothered with white mango cream which has mango chunks on top drizzled with chocolate drippings. Yes, it’s a layer of those delectable things which made it so tall, one would instantly compare it to a hat. A delicious hat for that matter.

I should say that this is a must try for cake lovers out there. Although the cake looks heavy, the combination of flavors is so good and not overpowering. A slice will cost you 75php, a mini size cake is 450php, while the regular size is 850php.

And since they have a branch in Greenhills Connecticut St. which is so near to where I am living, I’ll be posting more reviews on their cakes and pastries until such time that my friend Dada and some other as well would be able to squeeze in a lunch or dinner date into our busy schedule.

Meanwhile! Happy eating foodies!
