Japanese Desserts in Dezaato Pan

The sweet end of our Banawe foodtrip is gelato in Dezaato Pan (this is just adjacent to Tempura). This is gelato Japanese version and not Japanese gelato since gelato is Italian.


I ordered the Menta Stracciatella (this is mint ice cream with hardened ribbons of chocolate). Their gelato is not sweet at all but I could taste the mint and the chocolate which I liked. It is not even creamy but still yummy. This costs 60 pesos for 100g, not bad right?


They also have freshly baked bread and pastries.


This is the decor on the wall going up the 2nd floor.


The Japanese is known for their pretty presentation of their food. Be it candies, gums, bento boxes, pastries and cakes. In Dezaato Pan, there's no exemption. Their cakes are really cute! I think it's hard to eat something as pretty as this. But I'd like to try their cakes next time when my stomach's not full.

Old-school-like Treats at Stick House

Popsicles are one of the all-time faves of my youth. Even up until now, my sister loves eating Twin Popsies in the middle of the night. And who would've thought of putting gelato on a stick? Evidently, the owner of Stick House of course.

This innovative use of gelato and a popsicle stick has its price. It sells for 80 bucks a piece and additional for half or full toppings plus the chocolate dip. In my opinion, their price is a bit steep.

At first bite, I was pretty amazed on what I found. The texture of this gelato is unlike no other. The texture was like of a popsicle (e.g. Twin Popsies) but the taste was purely gelato goodness. I was really curious to see how the stick was able to hold the gelato and I discovered that they infused the popsicle's mouth feel and the creaminess of gelato. It melted in my mouth with its rich chocolate taste that is very dense.

A surprisingly good first-bite

Their stick was even engraved with their name on it. How cool is that?
