My friends and I originally had planned to go to Camp John Hay for its famous baterol chocolate, but the baterol chocolate place was closed for the evening. We went to Mile High, a row of shops and eateries in the camp, but nothing there really appealed to us, so finally we decided to try our luck at the Manor, the hotel inside Camp John Hay.
And boy, what a find!
The pastry and cake shop at the Manor had some of the yummiest looking desserts we had seen for that price range (around P100 per slice). Sinfully delicious-looking chocolate cakes, cheesecakes, and cream pies were on display, and an intriguing looking strawberry-topped pastry that could be bought by the inch. We placed our cake and coffee orders and sat down by the fireplace in the beautiful lounge while we waited for our food.
The coffee was disappointing: my husband's whiskey-coffee concoction had too much whiskey while my friend's iced coffee mocha tasted too watery. The cakes, however, were simply scrumptious! We ended up putting all our orders in the middle and sampling one another's cake orders, and the entire dessert experience was simply a delight!
