Banapple Pies Cheesecakes

Banapple has always been a comfort food for us, whether it's desserts/cakes, pasta and since rice is life for me, their rice meals.

Had glazed and caramelized tocino sometine in 2019 and fell in love with their creamed parsley egg. it became my standard in scrambled egg ever since.hahha.. you should try their pasta too!

Banapple Pies and Cheesecakes bakery café is a charming and novel find. Complementing the well-loved pies are well-loved bestsellers like, Hickory Smoked Barbecued Country Ribs, Chicken Parmigiano, Baked Creamy Cheesy Penne and of course, Lasagna Roll-ups. All these are available at all Banapple branches together with Christmas goodies: CHERRY CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE jr CHEESECAKE (dense chocolate cheesecake on a chocolate cookie crust topped with stewed cherries) which retails for Php 930 BEJEWELED FRUIT LOAF (signature banapple loaf, studded with pineapple, cherries and oranges) at Php295

I think it's been almost a year since I dined here, and I remembered clearly what I ate: their Hickory Smoked Barbecued Country Ribs with steamed rice. Ughhh, heaven. Anyways, Banapple just released their holiday pastries collection with the Cherry Chocolate Truffle Jr. Cheesecake and Bejeweled Fruit Loaf. Brought home a Cherry Chocolate Truffle Jr. Cheesecake to my fam, and my parents loved it! It has a cookie crust layer, and chocolate cheesecake layer topped with cherries in one! The Bejeweled Fruit Loaf is also fit for the holiday season! Also tried their Breaded Fillet of Cream Dory with Honey Thyme Mustard Suace and Pasta Hacinta Party Tray Selections! Both are so good and savory (and I would love to have rice with the cream dory as always). Their cookie and hot chocolate is also my perfect kind of breakfast. And as a special treat to their loyal customers, they have a 12 Days of Christmas Promo! You'll just have to collect stamps for every 450php worth of purchase. Ask the Banapple staffs about it and they'll gladly assist you.

This is the larger and newer Banapple branch in Katipunan compared to the original Katipunan store near the Quirino Hospital. They have more parking and a second level too. For Christmas 2019, they have... Cherry Chocolate Truffle Jr Cheesecake. I like the dense chocolate cheesecake that is not too sweet but that deep dark chocolate goodness. The stewed cherries on top is a great touch! Bejeweled Fruit Loaf. Think about a cross between a banana bread (well, this one is banapple loaf) and fruit cake with all the dried pineapple, cherries and oranges. Its so good, my mom loves it!!
