Cronut at Café UK

The search for wi-fi led us to a 24 hour cafe predictably filled with students armed with fluorescent markers assaulting books and reams of lecture notes. Not surprising since we were hooting distance from the University of Santo Tomas.


The cronut at Café UK
Apart from some forgettable coffee, I had a cronut--my first cronut. As someone attracted to portmanteaus the way other women are attracted to babies, I should have had fun with it. But there was just something sad about the fried and sugared layers of puff pastry sitting on whipped cream and ringed with banana bits bravely resistant to browning sitting next to apple slices slathered with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Cute, but not for me?

Weeks later I barely remember what it tasted like yet remain steadfast in resisting further offers of the cronut.
