1. Banana Pudding from M Bakery
Believe the hype—M Bakery’s Banana Pudding is as divine as you’ve heard. This New York transplant first made waves with its delicious cupcakes, but the true star is the rich and creamy Banana Pudding. While the bakery offers various flavors each month (like Cookies & Cream and Carrot Cake), the classic Banana Pudding is all you need to satisfy your taste buds.

2. Halo-Halo ng Kapitbahay from Halo-Halo Story
It’s hard to go wrong with one of the most iconic Filipino desserts, and Halo-Halo Story certainly doesn’t disappoint. This spot offers an array of fun and unique halo-halo flavors, including Ubeng-Ube, Buko Pie, Four Cheese, and even a Scramble-flavored one. But the classic Halo-Halo ng Kapitbahay, filled with all the traditional toppings, remains a personal favorite.

Sometimes, all you need is a classic chocolate cake, and Dimpy’s offers a first-rate version.
