Hunt for Tiramisu: UCC Café Terrace

It all started with a few reviews raving about this tiramisu from a  classy pizza restaurant. It sure made the rest of us curious and went to the said restaurant a few days after. And sadly, some of us went home disappointed as the tiramisu didn’t have the flavor or texture they were looking for. So what makes a tiramisu spectacular? Well, for one, it has to be chilled, soft and moist. The espresso and liquor should also not overpower the chocolate taste of the dessert. With these in mind, the looloo gang started a hunt for the best tiramisu. Our first stop: UCC.

Hello, UCC Café Terrace!

UCC was deemed as one of the top places to buy tiramisu. Our expectations were high as UCC in general is a good restaurant and serves delectable dishes. 

We ordered two orders of Tiramisu (PHP220 each) for sharing. J and R also ordered coffee to kickstart the day. 

While waiting for our desserts, R’s Kori Kohi was served first and it looked interesting. The coffee was frozen and turned into iced coffee cubes. In order to enjoy the drink, you have to pour some warm milk. And R loved the drink! I will definitely try to make some at home. 

The tiramisu was served next and it was pretty small for its price. 

It was pretty good though as it was chilled, moist and not too sweet. UCC didn’t go crazy with the cocoa powder as well hence being a cough-free dessert. I liked that the espresso and liquor tastes were not that strong yet noticeable.

Overall, it was a pretty good dessert but it still cannot dethrone my favorite creme brûlée. 

UCC Café Terrace is located at Forbes Town Center, 26th Street, Burgos Circle, Taguig City.
