Stress Relief at Cocktales

About the food:

Stressed, when spelled backwards, becomes the word dessert. That is one of the profound insights I have discovered at Cocktales. This small dessert place isn't all about dessert though. They also serve value meals that are reasonably priced. 

 

The picture above is called a Shepherd's Pie. It's not precisely a pie inside. On top is a layer of gravy, followed by mashed potatoes, and ground beef. The serving size is good for one. The taste is just okay and is good enough to make you full.

Along with the pie comes a free iced tea, which is very good in taste and is not the usual powdered iced tea. 


Finally, the meal also comes with a small serving of dessert, which completes your day. (see picture at the topmost of this post)


Where to buy and how much:

For php195 you can try this meal at any Cocktales dessert place. I tried mine at Trinoma Mall in QC. They also have a lot more sweet concoctions that can satisfy your taste.

Desserts can be emotionally satisfying when consumed, especially if you have a sweet tooth. If you're concerned about your sugar intake (for fear of diabetes), then you have to be more cautious. Likewise, mashed potato, although not sweet in taste, has a high glycemic index, which means it can boost your blood glucose levels quickly). A final note to remember is that iced tea is not always healthy. A good number of iced teas have a lot more sugar in them than you would like. If you want to enjoy the health benefits of tea, it's best to drink it bitter, without any sweeteners.
