I know what you're thinking. It's pretty weird to extol desserts in an establishment that's known for, well, booze. But in a certain twist of gastronomic fate, URBN Bar & Kitchen do whip up a couple of decadent sweet treats!
 |
| Maple Bacon Cheesecake PhP 250 |
Starting off with the weakness of many: bacon. I question the integrity of people who shy away from this cured meat. Seriously, why?
Bacon & cheesecake enthusiasts will get a high from this creation. The cheesecake flavor's spot-on. I thought the strong smoky flavor of bacon will drown it out. Sweetness level is above average for me; that would be just right for most, I assume. I'm particularly sensitive to sweet than any other taste; that's probably why I'm not into chocolates. Texture-wise, it was a tad bit grainy.

| Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake PhP 250 |
Despite being a chocolate bête noire {nah, that's too strong a word; non-lover's a tamer one}, I found URBN's Chocolate
Brownie Cheesecake highly satisfying. Silky, smooth cheesecake baked on top of a rich, fudgy brownie. Chewy chunks, crushed nuts and drizzles of choco syrup upped its ambrosial quality.

| Nutella and Candied Hazelnut Cheesecake PhP 250 |
Even up to this day, I'm ambivalent about Nutella {the hazelnut spread itself}; even Speculoos Cookie Butter. I know a lot of people are crazy over them. There's even a World Nutella Day, for heaven's sake!
Crucify me, but I can't seem to find any enjoyment in eating them on their own or even with a slice of loaf; but, making a baked creation out of them is a different story. This Nutella
and Candied Hazelnut Cheesecake's very much commendable. Luscious layer of nutella cheesecake topped with chocolate ganache and sweetened nuts.

| White Chocolate and Cookie Butter Love-Ah Cake PhP 270 |
Save the best for last! I'd gladly go back to URBN even just for this! This is a total eruption of seriously good flavors. I actually prefer it without the vanilla ice cream {below}. It's delicious on its own. An incredibly moist and tender white chocolate cake with warm, melted cookie butter center. A big surprise once sliced is the caramel ball inside. Deluxe!
