Tokyo Bubble Tea and Honeybee Patisserie

Tweet



Saturday was spent mostly sleeping and eating. Slept around 3AM Saturday morning after a fun SpinD event of Planet Zips but had to wake up at 8AM for my Dance Class (BEP's Don't Stop the Party! Yeah!). Was so tired when I got home that i just went straight back to bed - mom had to cook lunch. Woke up at 4PM and fetched my nephew and niece, Adrian and Arianna, from their Math Training class (geeks!) and they had to accompany me to my dentist.

Having not had anything to eat the whole day, we just had to go binge and eat our hearts out. From the dentist, called Pizza Hut to order our fave Family Meatlover's Cheesy Volcano! Thanks to the ever reliable Palm Card, we get a free Family Pepperoni and Bacon Pan Pizza. After the 15 minute drive, our order was ready for pick up. We were so hungry we ate it inside anyway with 1.5 L of soda! Arianna had 4 slices, I had 5 and Adrian had 7 slices!!! No pictures here - just so embarrassing to post but pizza  was soooooo good! We were out of Pizza Hut in 20 minutes and we think the crew there thought we were such piggies! :)

On the way to San Juan where I was supposed to drop the kids off at their house, I felt the craving for something sweet to rid my tongue of all the grease and carnivorous deliciousness. We had to get dessert. We were just planning to drive thru McDonald's and get a sundae on drive-through but we passed by Bubble Tea at Wilson. Perfect, the also have Honeybee Patisserie here where they serve delicious cakes! Good thing there was parking as the rain was getting harder already.

The interiors are very cozy and modern - they have a 2nd floor too if the place gets crowded. The kids went straight to the low tables where we can enjoy our cakes and bubble tea with throw pillows.

The display of cakes is just too beautiful to pass on. I am sure you will get at least one dessert even if you just went there for a bubble tea.



Here is their menu with description and prices (from their FB page)

 We ordered the Mt. Fuji Choco, Tokyo Tiramisu and the Strawberry Matcha Mousse.

The Tokyo Tiramisu had a nice crunchy and caramel-y cookie crust with layers of light sponge cake. The coffee syrup gives it a nice kick (which even kids will enjoy) - no need to worry about it being drenched in alcohol. Over-all a perfect coming together of tiramisu flavors finished with coca powder-dusted whipped cream.

The Strawberry Matcha Mousse is a spectacle of the senses. The cake is whimsical with layers of Matcha green tea cake, green tea mouse, strawberry mouse and strawberry cream topped with white chocolate and a dusting of green tea powder. What seems like an unusual flavor combo is surprisingly delish. Only that the strawberry flavor is a tad too candy sweet and has a more artificial note to it than if you expect a fresh and bright strawberry flavor.

Adrian ordered the Mt. Fuji Choco. Chocolate and caramel mouse alternates inside this pyramid. What's inside is oh so good you can;t help but stick your fork in over and over again. It is then covered with green tea crumbs and topped with white chocolate and a chocolate disc. I will climb Mt. Fuji for this one!!!

Adrian licked the cake board clean! That proof enough?

Empty plate in minutes...

The strawberry mousse was just too much. But the green tea cake layer was yummy!

Honeybee also serves bread and snacks! Will grab some of these next time. Check out what was on display!

Most intrigued by the Takoyaki Bread! :)

The kids had a go at the Bubble Tea! Got the Cold Tea Slush (fresh fruit shakes) with combination pearls.

Green Apple

Mango

You can ask for your drink to have 50% less sugar or use Splenda Artificial Sweetener. Yey!

Bubble Tea also serves an exhaustive array of real hot Japanese-Western dishes (which most milk tea places do not offer). I will also try out these meals soon! Salivating as I went through the menu.
