i've had one too many but i just can't seem to stop myself! i don't just crave, i DESIRE!there's that innate longing for anything that can satisfy my tastebuds and in my search for the best, i pride myself in going through the forest, so to speak, searching high and low, no matter how far, no matter how tedious. yes, when i am on the prowl for the best...i leave no stone unturned. or, ensaymada for that matter.

yup! i finally concluded my search for the best ensaymada in this part of the country. i have a sweet tooth and i have a penchant for anything unique. so when i accidentally came across "perfect ending's" dulcemada- wow - this ensaymada just blew me away!and it wasn't just me! wewin, my honey, truly loved it!we went to his friend's birthday party and there was this pale blue box being passed around. no one was really minding it at first then i distinctly remembered having the privilege of discovering the wonders that beheld such an unassuming box. it looked as if it was just another ensaymada. it looked "cute."not your usual big-sized ensaymada. looked like teacakes to me at first. when i removed the plastic cover i was delighted to see almond chips scattered on top of it!it looked so dainty in my hands. but nothing prepared me for that first bite. as i sank it in between my teeth, my senses were jolted into what could have the sweetest surprise of all! caramel! then, my mouth just went nuts! then i had another one..and another one. not long after, everybody on the table was a convert. and surprisingly, most of the guys really loved it and some even pocketed one or two for take-out!

well, i tried the other ensaymadas around and they each have their own unique qualities. but at the end of the day, all you can just think about is the ensaymada that you would want to eat over and over again. something that you would still look forward to even if you had to order it at least a day before. even if you had to travel the distance just to pick it up from its bakery. even if the one who took your order bungled so bad the first time you vowed not to order anymore. thank God i didn't have to do that because the owner herself called me up and went to my office to apologize and deliver my order..much to my sheer delight! not only that..she also gave me an extra - a marjolaine! yumyum! what do you know? sweetness personified.:)

until i find something better..."perfect endings" is it for me! hmm..i think i should order soon. :)
