Based in Manila, Philippines, Dessert Comes First is a chronicle of the food-obsessed food writer, Lori Baltazar. This website is all about desserts, restaurants, coffee, and the pleasures of homebaking. Read more about me Food on my shirt

If there’s one other thing that I’m passionate about aside from food, it’s t-shirts that carry witty sayings about food. I’m a sucker for shirts that mouth off even before I do. But I won’t buy just any shirt with some quote on it. It’s got to be me. Here are my favorites:
This is my trademark shirt. My best friend, Bal, gave this to me for my birthday. It sums up the spirit behind my food blog and my belief that you can have your cake (literally!) and eat it too.
I am a fried food fan. If you fry it, I’ll probably eat it. Enough said.
I wore this to the gym to work out and got a variety of reactions: some people loved the shirt, some thought it was the name of the rival gym (Fitness First), and some just gave me a dirty look. I love it when my shirt does the talking for me.
I don’t consider myself a chocoholic, but everyone else seems to be one. It explains the popularity of chocolate as a shirt theme. Hey, if you can’t have your chocolate, at least you can wear it, yah?

I’m not much of a “shoppingera,” so I find my shirts at most common stores like Bench and Human. I’m also very lucky at Ali Mall.

Hi! My name is Amber. I was just wondering where you got that Fatness First tshirt from? Fitness First is so big here in Brisbane – my boyfriend and mother are a bit gym obsessed, and I found the shirt funny. Are they available online at all?

There’s a store here in Manila called “Spoofs” that does just that — it spoofs popular brand names. They don’t sell online, but why don’t you Email me! and let’s see what I can do.
