My high school friends constantly want to try Slice for quite some time but we never had the time to meet each other. Today, the embassy of Great Britain had their “Experience Great Britain” Expo at BGC and I, together with Kei, decided to visit and had a couple of photo shoot. We also ended up having our snacks at Slice since it was long overdue.







I like the place. It was nice and cozy but not so classy. The staffs were a bit slow though. They had a hard time accommodating everyone’s requests and orders.


As for the cakes, I sort of expected a lot from it since I have read quite some good reviews about their products. They even have some reviews painted on their walls but alas, we were disappointed.

The cakes were quite grainy and not that good tasting. It even had a small serving size that I suppose is not worth the price. My friend also doesn’t like its taste. She even told me that there were better cake stores on the other side of Bonifacio High Street. So the long wait was not worth it after all. Too bad - the comfort food that we long to have has not served its purpose. ):

I was introduced to this restaurant way back last year and I really enjoyed their food specially their cakes. I am always looking forward to having their cakes ever since but their branches were far from our place so I rarely dine in there.

Earlier this year, my friends and I used to hang out at Robisons’ Magnolia and fortunately Conti's also had a branch there. We promised each other to dine on the restaurant on our next visit on the mall and walah, that day is now (after 7 months) and of course we delight in their cakes for dinner.

OVERVIEW:

Conti's is located at the ground floor of Robinsons’ Magnolia. Its entrance, however, was not located on the mall per se but rather facing Dona Hemady Street.

SERVICE:

They have very visible service crew. They are also attentive to our wants which made me smile. Well, we only ordered for cake slices and a pasta so they have not done much work on us.

FOODIES:

I did not order for their famous Mango Bravo since I have tried it before. I, as well as my friends, opt to try other cakes so we take their Viennese Mocha Torte, Bananalicious Pie and Mango Tart.

Their mango tart was delicious. It is a cream filled cake that matches the generous amount of mango slices on top of it. Plus, the crust was so delicious.

My friend wanted to have frozen bananas on her cake so she take the Bananalicious Pie. The cake was so yummy. It also has a yummy crust which taste like mango tart's crust. Frozen bananas are so delicious.

Last, but not the least, is the Viennese Mocha Torte. I think it has the same slice size as that of the Mango Bravo. It was made mostly of chocolate but not the very sweet one. What I like most about this cake is its icing. I rarely ate icings but this was different because it is mocha flavored and I believe it has a high caffeine content which rubbed my sleepiness away. Its icing was also garnished with almonds and I love almonds a lot which made the icing more appealing for me.

I really recommend this restaurant for foodies like me. Nothing beats a great dessert at the end of a tiring day!  So satisfy your cravings for desserts the Conti's way.
