lobby lounge - diamond hotel

a very delish food!! even though it was really expensive still i am really really satisfied. the chocolate cake was so soft,and smooth tha chocolate melted in my mouth! waaaaah! the strawberry orange shake was a good drink! it's not to sour. but the best was the diamondensaymadaand clubhouse speechless!till next time! 🍰🍫🍟

no visit at diamond hotel is ever complete without buying their ube emsaymada at the lobby lounge. this has to be the most expensive piece ofensaymadain the market unless i haven't seen anything go beyond their 175pesos prices given the size of their ensaymada. good thing they offer 50 percent off on other pastries (with the exception of the ensaymada) once the clock strikes at 8pm. got a couple of macarons, a small sugar free cheesecake and a chocolate mousse cake. i enjoyed the cakes the most, the cheesecake was dense and had that distinct cheese taste without being overly sweet. the chocolate mousse was a cut above the rest in the market. it had 3 or four layers each with a different firmness. the mousse was smooth without being too creamy. the thin cake base was fudgy with a toasted crunch followed by a thin ganache. i love every bite. for the ensaymada, you can get it per piece or by box of 6 for a more elegant presentation. theensaymadawas filled with cheese and butter cream on top and the freshly ground ube inside was generous. evident by the ube on each slice of the sticky bread. recommended.

theirensaymadais the best ever! really! chicken caesar is good too. i like the ambiance coz it's quiet, but not the deafening silence type. there's the hotel lobby background music playing. perfect for business meetings or 'me time'.

when your family is checked-in at some hotel and when the suite room, no matter how big it may seem, still tend to remove your sense of privacy (yes, there's no place like home), you just got to head down to the lobby lounge, order a cup of coffee and a slice of cake (andensaymada- oh they make good ones here) and spend quality time - with yourself! just find a comfy nook, and then you're set to a stress free, quiet afternoon! for the lobby lounge at diamond hotel, try their smoked salmon croissant sandwich, ristretto coffee and pastries!
