I’ve been reading DCF for about 5 years now give or take. I started reading when it was still in its old blogspot URL.
My favorite entry was Manila’s 10 Best Desserts of 2007. Why? because I got to share one with Lori when we met up in Sucre at Robinson’s Place Manila.
I’m DCF’s number one fan because I don’t just love DCF, it’s always in my heart. (see picture for extra cheesiness).
Yes, I agree! There should be plus points! heeheehee
Why do you look sad in your photo, Nel? Is it because you’re horizontal? I would think that’s your favorite position! HAHAHA! 😉 Love ya, sweetie!
Katrina: I was going for a “wawa look” so Lori would pick me as a winner. Apparently, I missed hahahahaha
I also agree with Lori that there are times that vertical is more fun hehehehehehe
Thanks for making my photo upright, Lori!
I started reading DCF back in 2008. After a temporary hiatus from the blogging world last 2010, I am now back to eagerly anticipating each new provocative post that its eloquent author churns out.
My favorite DCF post would have to be the “Eating Solitude (Thoughts of A Hungry, Solitary Traveler)” because I felt that it came from a place of deep reflection, slowly uncovered and shared with us readers. And somehow, it made me long for such a journey for myself, a respite from all the brouhaha of life in general, and have that personal space and time to cherish and treasure forever.
I’m the #1 fan of DCF because I truly appreciate the extent of hard work put on every piece published in this site. I admire how Lori shares herself and her experiences through immortalizing her gastronomic adventures in a way that makes us DCF readers believe that we are with her every bite of the way. She, through DCF, is personally a source of inspiration for the budding writer in me.

I have been reading DCF for about three years. I first learned about it after reading on the net that it was one of the popular blogs in the Philippines.
To me, the most memorable DCF post is Tokyo, Japan: No Bad Meals To Be Had Here, as it exemplifies Lori’s passion for food, skill in writing and expressing herself while injecting her wit and sense of levity.
I am DCF’s number one fan as it updates me on what restaurants to visit and what food to try. I vicariously enjoy Lori’s adventures and have found a kindred spirit as far as love for food is concerned. In fact, I’m DCF’s number one fan such that you don’t have to validate it by giving me that box of Royce’ chocolate. (Joke, I’m a chocoholic).
I started reading DCF only last June when I came across your article Cheesecake Love. Eversince then, I kept coming back to your site to get my virtual sweet fix. I am hopeless in the kitchen that is why I truly admire people like you who can whip up fantastic creations using just baking tools, and Cheesecake at that too. But more than that I guess, what attracted me to this site is the passion and careful detail you put in each blogpost that you write. You are not merely sharing with us fantastic desserts and food, you are letting us savor and experience them right then and there with your lyrical words.:)
My Favorite Post is Eating Solitude. We were in it with you as you sink your teeth in each and every piece of your wondrous feast. It was one of my best virtual meal experience.
I guess I am the no. 1 Fan of DCF because like DCF-I love to indulge in the simplest but greatest among all pleasures, that is eating good food (particularly heavenly desserts)

Every letter in that picture is edible… chocolates, candies, cereal, nuts and breadsticks!
I’ve been reading DCF since 2006, when it was still the old blogspot site.
My favorite post will still be the about the first Tea Party back in 2006 because it really changed my life, like I’ve told you so many times. That event and post/s sparked my passion for desserts (then later cooking and baking) and greatly altered the course of my life. haha. I even studied culinary and baking and pastry arts, as well as other short courses and classes! 🙂
I am the no. 1 DCF fan because I share your same passion with food and my day is not complete if I don’t check your site. I’m always very eager to read your new posts and food finds in Manila and abroad… Then try it if I can! My sister and I will never forget the clotted cream you recommended in London’s Cafe Concerto. We still daydream about it once in a while! Your site is like our food bible and your our food goddess! hahaha
Haha. Xpand-a-bag days!!! That was way back in 2004!! 🙂 Don’t worry, I will keep baking and cooking no matter what country I will be living in. If there’s one thing I learned from all of this, it’s that I can’t imagine myself not working in a kitchen environment. It is indeed my happy place! 🙂
For almost five years now, since early 2007! I was still in college then!
My favorite entries are “The Best… Lists”, but the most memorable would have to be Cupcakes in the Courtroom, from May 2007. Yumi’s desserts are the first that I tried as a result of a feature on DCF, and I LOVED them. I used to order Yumi’s cupcakes a dozen at a time, until she got so popular that she could no longer accommodate small orders. Anyway, since this entry, I’ve been close to obsessed about trying out as many of DCF’s recommendations as possible. Among those I’ve tried that have evolved into favorites are Old Swiss Inn, Paris Delice, and anything from Jill Sandique.
I’m DCF’s number one fan because DCF is not just another blog to me; it’s more of a fixture in my life now 🙂 Seriously. DCF to me is a checklist of must-try food places, a constant reference for work (I’m with a food company), a reliable source of entertainment, a “friend” I can count on for ideas when I want to dine out somewhere special, or give a food gift that I know will make the recipient rave.
I also take pride in being a ‘proactive’ fan 🙂 Lori, not sure if you remember a girl who had the guts to email you years back suggesting that you change your site banner/logo. That was me. Haha. I was so bibo I even sent you a peg graphic. Years later, as a marketer in Canon, I was able to convince management to partner with DCF. Although the projects materialized after I’ve resigned from the company, I’m still proud to have been that person that initiated things. Now that I’m with RFM, I still mouth DCF ALL THE TIME, and my bosses, who I think you know well, have only great things to say about you.
More power, Lori! And I really hope you’ll continue serving up sweet slices of happiness via DCF in the years (decades!) to come! 🙂
—
What better way to say that I love DCF than with chocolate? Made this poster with real M&M’s! 🙂

My pleasure, Lori! Yes, I did glue the candies on so that’s quite a few calories less for me 🙂
I have been reading Dessert Comes First since 2010 and I have stumbled upon it when my sweet tooth is craving for desserts. I typed something like “delicious desserts” on the Google search page and it led me to this website. Since then, I’ve gotten my healthy does of tasty threats.
The post that I like the most is Eating Solitude(Thoughts of A Hungry, Solitary Traveler) because the post is practically something about Zen and the Art of Gastronomy. I can really feel the emotions of the writer as reflected in the post and it breathes new life into the website rather than just telling the ingredients and commenting on its taste. Through that post, the reader is enticed to be one with the food that he eats and it also gives a deep appreciation on what fills our stomach.
I guess I am the number one fan of DCF because it is a good addiction that I don’t want to shake off. It preaches the good news about the best desserts in town and this has made me into a believer. There are times when I even dream about the desserts that I see in this website. This is the effect that DCF brought into my life that I will never stop reading it in order to satisfy my taste buds.
Hi Ms. Lori!!! I have placed here a picture of my sister who did the artwork of our “WE LOVE DCF”. I was supposed to be with her in the picture but with the lack of an extra hand to help us I opted to just take her picture (since it is all HER that made that colorful signage possible).
Just a quick story, it was a typical Sunday morning in my room and my sister saw me reading through different blogs and out of nowhere I told her about your contest. Keen upon hearing what the prize was, she immediately insisted that we join the contest. I told her that sure we can join the contest given that she will work on the signage. In my mind, I was truly convinced that the reason why she wanted to join was because she wanted to win the chocolate set. However, when I saw her pull out whatever art stuffs she got as she worked on the signage, a realization hit me. She is just like me. I could not believe that we both share the same passion of appreciating food in its simplest form and of course anything that is sweet and has chocolates in it. It was quite a revelation for me to see her work on the signage; I never pegged her as someone who can actually do something “artsy”. Sure she loved to draw but I never saw her work with colors. She spent the entire day in my room working on her “signage” and at around 5pm she showed me the artwork. After which, we started working on the letters and the heart drawing. I knew it was the highlight of my day. ? So there goes my sister in her usual cheery disposition and your newest fan.
Anyway!!!
I must be honest, I just started reading your blog last 2010. My favorite DCF post was the first one I read. The title was “What I eat, when I eat alone”. I think I was in a middle of a very cathartic moment that I was searching about anything related to solitude and being alone (personal issues and internal battles were happening inside me). As I was reading your post on how you view eating as a very intimate moment and the satisfaction you have when you eat alone, I knew it pierced right through my heart (next was my tummy since the pictures were so appetizing). I was so swept away with so many emotions that I realized how similar we were on some points and that you somehow enlightened me when you ended your post with “I never eat alone, really. I have myself – and the food I love – for company”. I knew then that you blog with heartfelt sincerity and such passion that I look up to you now as my food mentor.
I guess I’m DCF’s biggest fan because from that time on I made sure that I would religiously check out your blog for “NEW FINDS” every week. It became habitual and checking your blog seemed like a necessity like eating. I also started to develop a new habit of splurging (whenever possible) in trying out one by one the food items that you post and hunting for new restaurants/new dessert places became very normal. And I must say everything that I have tried from your posts were truly amazing. It was as if I was relieving the exact same feeling when you blogged about them and your blog made me more adventurous in trying out new things. The progress I have made may be a tad slow but like you, I work my way in telling people about my glorious food experiences. Since I am not much of a writer to blog about these things, I work my magic by the simplest form of “word of mouth”. I knew then that aside from chocolates, the best things in life can be as simple as sharing a note-worthy food. Therefore, DCF you are the best! Kudos to DCF for being super generous in sharing all these gastronomically heart lurching food and desserts and cheers for more new discoveries for the years to come! ?

I would have to show my sister your comment and i’m pretty sure she’ll be more motivated to do more artworks! As for my passion for food, no it would never ever die. Like Julia Roberts on Eat, Pray, Love; I have come across the part where I EAT my way to the first part of finding myself! 🙂 Once again, kudos to you and your astounding dedication in replying to all the entries!!! 😉
Hi Lori!
I uploaded my submission last night but it’s still not showing up. 🙁 Is there a problem with the comments section of this post?
Hope to hear from you soon (in case I have to re-upload)!
Thanks!
the same thing i encountered 🙂
same with ours. uploaded yesterday but still no sign of it. 🙁
Hi buchibros!
Check the file size of your photo. It has to be less than 50kb I think (500×500 size is reco’d). After adjusting my photo’s size, my submission finally went through. Best of luck! 🙂
Cheers!
Hello Faith! Thanks for the advice. Our original pic is 374×500 which is smaller than the 500×500. I had to resize to 250×350 just to make it work. Best of luck to you, too! 🙂

We still daydream about it once in a while! Your site is like our food bible and your our food goddess! hahaha

*How long have you been reading DCF?
I’ve been reading Dessert Comes First since late 2005. The blog looked quite different back then.
*What is the title of your favorite/most memorable DCF post?
The most memorable DCF entry for me would have to be “5 of the best chocolate cakes in Manila”. It was the post that first introduced me to your blog (glorious chocolate galore!), and all the subsequent ones made me stay. 🙂
*Why are YOU the #1 fan of DCF?
I am DCF’s #1 fan because my eyes are pretty much glued to the site.
I make it a point to quickly check for updates first thing in the morning; if none, I check back in during lunchtime or end of the day. It’s always a treat discovering new food, restos and dessert finds on DCF–my husband and I even plan our dates (and weekend routes) around them.
Thanks for sharing your love of food, Lori!
Hi! We are Joe and Kirk of the Buchi Brothers. We started reading Dessert Comes First sometime about two years ago and we’ve been #1 fans of Ms. Lori and her blog since! How can we tell that we are the best fans? Well, here goes:
1) Believe it or not, we came across the blog when we were bored and craving and searching the Internet for the best SUSHI, not desserts, within Metro Manila (it was her Hatsu Hana-Tei experience). The next thing we knew, we were breezing through the articles, discussing desserts and planning what to eat on weekends. Because we are both into cooking and design, she has greatly inspired us to the extent that we are now making plans for our own coffee and pastry shop. We’re guessing it’s evident in our photo entry.
2) Every time we crave for something sweet, the first thing that pops into our minds is “DCF”. We always check her blog first to see if she has reviews on that particular dessert and information on where to find the best ones in town. Her recommendations never disappoint because she takes advantage of her impeccable writing skills and she takes into consideration both the good and the bad in everything. Be it on taste, form, color or consistency, she evaluates as what her senses dictate and that’s what being a great reviewer is about.
3) We both agree that the layout of the blog is very simple, clean and fresh, but very useable and easily searchable. The pictures hosted in the site are the clearest and most artistically (if not painstakingly) taken if we compare all the local food blogs that we have read in our searches. We love the whole DCF team for these reasons!
4) We’ve been to just one DCF event and we can say that Ms. Lori’s planning and hosting skills are amazing. It was our first time to meet and greet her and she instantly recognized us from our photo entry (yes, she was the one who gave us our moniker). She exudes an aura of warmth and passion that we were really star-struck and can’t talk straight. We still keep the photo from the event which we had her sign during the event. We’re even looking for a good double glass frame for it!
5) We really can’t decide on the one blog post to rule them all because every post we have read has become our favorite in that topic. Isn’t that enough proof that we are #1 fans? Well, we do know that we both dream of going to London. Sticky toffee is good enough reason to go on a royal vacation so we’re sticking to that series. Ms. Lori’s feature of London showcases the Old World charm of the bustling city from the street posts to the people to the food through simple but beautiful snapshots. It really felt like we were listening to her in person as she narrated her accounts.
We can go on and on about our Dessert Comes First and our own travel adventures and food finds but we have to stop here lest we get a TL;DR (too long; didn’t read) rating on our entry. We have always been fans of Ms. Lori and DCF and we will always remain to be. Keep up the great work!

Oh my (or should we say, our, haha)! It would be an honor to have you in our would-be shop! Guess we need to make haste with that business plan. Words can’t say how deeply grateful we are to you, but please do accept our sincerest thanks. 🙂
I remember vividly the first time I heard of DCF. January 2010, I was in Greenbelt about to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel when I saw the OVI commercial with Lori holding a cupcake (“I Share!”). Curiosity got the best of me and DCF has since been my favorite blog.
My favorite post of any blog ever is DCF’s “A Champion Cheesecake or My Quest To Make the Best Cheesecake on the Planet.” In my senior year in college, I opened up a stall in our student run cafeteria. There came a time when the stall was losing money so I decided to sell desserts and Lori’s cheesecake was one of the desserts I served and people loved it so much that it became a favorite, helping the stall back to its feet. This post is bookmarked on my browser and I can happily say that
I already know the recipe by heart.
What I consider to be my best accomplishment in 2011 isn’t receiving a college diploma or getting my first job or winning a quarter of a million bucks in a gameshow. Rather, it’s getting the chance to not only meet Lori in person, but for her to taste a cookie I made and telling me that “it’s just right.” No one has any idea what that meant to me,especially that it came from Lori. There is no food writer that I respect more than Lori because I know she’s honest and that she reviews food without any sorts of lies whatsoever. Everyone knows that Lori can’t ever be bought to say anything so getting that compliment really meant a lot. I am the #1 fan of DCF because I believe in everything (I think) the blog stands for. I like how Lori proves that one can like dessert and still be healthy at the same time. I also love how the blog emphasizes in giving homebakers a break, as I am also an aspiring one. Finally, DCF is proof that a blog can become popular without losing its integrity and selling out. It is one of the few blogs that I read religiously because every entry never feels like an advertisement and it has always retained Lori’s personal touch, which I hope never fades away.

Hi~ We’re Kim and Kelly Ang, and we’re twins who love reading your blog together. So here’s our entry~
1. Around two years or so. When we came across Dessert Comes First, we were instantly hooked! The posts were unbelievably graphic and all the food just looked so good… and the way you write about it just makes it look even more delectable.
2. For both of us, it has to be your post on the five best chocolate cakes. We live along Katipunan Avenue, but we never knew that there were two bake shops that served excellent chocolate cakes. We always settled for the cakes in Sweet Inspirations but we read about Chocolat in your blog, and mentioned it off hand to our brother. We told him about how much we’d like to try it (since Lori DID say that it was really really good), and we forgot about it soon enough. But just last week he surprised us when he got us their chocolate cake for our birthday. And sweet Jesus was it good. Your blog entry made our last birthday a lot more special, because our brother never did anything as sweet as that for us before. 😀
3. Personally, we can say that we’re the number 1 fans of DCF because beyond appreciating and enjoying every post written in this blog, this blog has also made a profound difference in our lives. Looking through the pictures and all of your posts nudged us both to do things we actually wanted to do, but just never had the time or the courage to try. Baking was something Kim had planned on trying out at some point, but your blog just hurried her schedule and got her to start, even though we both still have classes and homework and other things to keep us busy. And your passion for the writing just made it obvious to Kelly that if you really do want something, then nothing should ever hinder you from your goal. That’s one of the reasons why Kelly stood by her choice to become a writer (despite the teensy bit of parental opposition at that particular career choice).
But your blog gave us a little more than just baking and writing. Ever since we started college, we never had time for each other anymore. We got too busy with schoolwork and other things that we never got to hang out. But we’d always make time for each other just to check out the restaurants you write about in your blog. Sometimes it’s just the two of us twins, sometimes it’s lunch out with friends, and sometimes we just find delicious chocolate cake waiting for us on our birthday courtesy of brothers who just wanted some good cake.
Thanks for keeping a great blog for foodies like us Lori~

I have been reading DCF for over 6 years. I started when it was still in blogspot.
The title of my most memorable DCF post is “The P200 Egg”. It’s my most memorable post because, until recently and after hours of hypnotherapy, I was deathly afraid of lizards. So the thought of eating bayawak eggs – I don’t even know how to describe what I felt – never crossed my mind until I read your post. I think it’s proof that you are THE most hard-core egg lover and eater ever. Hence, my picture.
I am the #1 fan of DCF because I am on DCF more than I am on Facebook or any other site. DCF is my food porn and I never tire of reading your entries over and over again. I am DCF’s #1 fan because it’s the only site I recommend as most trust-worthy, completely genuine food review resource to friends, family and complete strangers. I will do anything to get into your events and get my DCF and Lori fix.
— P.S. Sorry I had to repost this. My picture was not uploaded onto the site properly the first time.—
No, I’m not DCF’s # 1 fan.
I only chanced upon your blog a few months back upon googling random food items, mostly desserts, obviously.
But after a few seconds of reading through your posts, I got so immersed into it that I was only snapped out of my “reading comatose state” by my cellphone alarm that says its already morning. Whew! I haven’t been online for that much amount of time since my “Yahoo! Chat days” over a decade ago …
I knew then that your words will be stuck in my head for a long time like a bad song that you just can’t forget.
Here’s one example:
A few weeks ago I chanced upon a Goldilocks Brownie that was left in the fridge by my brother when he came to visit last Halloween.
Since I never get too excited with a store-bought brownie, I just left it in the fridge not knowing what to do with it ‘coz I know my brother won’t be back until the next holiday.
But my conservative upbringing caught up with me, and being taught not to waste any food item, I told myself, “what the heck, it’d make nice snack, anyway”.
To make a long story short … with the first bite of this chocolate treat I was practically “hearing” the words from your post Cheapskate Of The Universe …” A somewhat chalky flavor dominates in these brownies thanks to a low-quality cocoa powder but it seems entirely appropriate coupled with its one-dimensional sweetness… Sometimes painfully plain is what I want…” rummaging through my head like a bad echo.
Yes, your writing has that kind of impact on this humble baker who could barely find time to sleep much less read through thousands of blog posts, but with the few articles I manage to read from your DCF blog …well, let’s just say, for me, your posts are more than memorable … they’re epic!
So I may not belong to a group of long time DCF followers … but you, Ms. Lori are definitely my favorite writer!
signed,
A humble baker named Issie
? How long have you been reading DCF?

As I remember, I’ve started reading Dessert Comes First when I was in 2nd year highschool when we joined in a contest in our school and I was searching for something new look for food. Honestly, I don’t know DCF at that time, but when I saw the blog, wow pictures are so “katakam-takam” And then I don’t know why did I felt so addicted to go in the blog everytime I used computer and do surfing. Maybe because the blog makes my day complete
What is the title of your favorite/most memorable DCF post?
In my own perspective the most memorable DCF post was “The Market in the Morning” maybe your asking why this was my favorite even though Im still a student. My answer is simply because I love going to the market with my mom. I don’t know why but I enjoy going and going there, even there were some bad smell that some people can’t take but I can manage that. We’re always go to the market at am because she said that was the time that all fruits, veggies, pork, beef, fish and others are all fresh.
? Why are YOU the #1 fan of DCF?
I am your #1 fan because I do always check your blog for your recent posts, I also check some past post that I want to try again. I love food, I love cooking even though I am not a Culinary Student. =) I love exploring different things in cooking and I learned too much in your blog but I want to learn more by dropping by there, to be honest I never forgot to go to the blog when I used computer I don’t know why it feels like Im addicted to go to the blog always.
Im sorry for the double post. (disconnecting connection problem) 🙁
i’ve been reading dcf for three months. i was looking for a product photography workshop, unfortunately tickets were sold out. since then, i always check your site for another schedule of the workshop.
my favorite dcf post was “Christmas gift list purveyors” it was actually my first time to attend that, i enjoyed it, and ms. lori was smiling at everyone, i felt her hospitality. i had a chance to taste all of the foods and everything passed on my discriminating sense of taste.
i’m a number one fan of dcf, i admire you as a food writer, your different style of writing keeps the viewers excited. i like your product shots it awakens the senses of your readers, one thing i like the most, your giving us directions and contact numbers of the restaurants where to dine, keep it up, more power.
Late 2007.
A Love Story.
I am the number 1 fan that I had the audacity to ask my boss to send me to the first food writing + photog workshop where Lori was one of the speakers.
