CARLOS RECOMMENDS!
BEAT THE SWEET!For all South Beach Diet freaks, unhappy fat people, sugar Nazis, and folks with diabetes in their family tree like myself, there is hope for us in this simple carb infested city known as Manila. Right on the southbound side of the aforementioned South Super Highway Extension, between Buendia and the Magallanes flyover, I found place we can all run to whenenever we feel the need for sugary speed, if you know what I mean. Former no-nos such as chocolate cake, jelly donuts, muffins, and cookies can all now be ours now the appearance of Sugar Not!on the scene. Owned and managed by the husband and wife team of Wolfgang Lambsdorff and Anne Beltran, this little deli-slash-coffeeshop-slash-bakery offers up ONLY fresh, low-fat, low-sugar, and sugar-free recipes for those seeking a healthier alternative to the fatty sweetness that most of the capital has to offer.
SUGAR NOT!
Labaire Bldg. 5462 South Super Highway corner Malvar, Bangkal, Makati Tel. 8893427
It's right around the corner from Fat Michael's.
I suggest visiting right before or after my Evangelista Que Linda! tour.

Wait...LOW-CARB, low-fat, low-sugar, sugar-free...how were they able to turn water into donut???
I'll be sure to check out the place.
How do their confections taste though?
I had only the chocolate oatmeal cookie and the apple walnut muffin. Both were great for sugar free.
Sugar free never is like the real thing but they make it reeeally close. And some stuff is just healthy. No sugar free fakery in their deli menu.
Is it also sugar-substitute free? As in no aspartame nor chlorinated sucrose?
It's all splenda. But all the goods have little pieces of paper with nutritional value lists on it. You know exactly what you are getting.
hmmm... mabisita nga at matikman.
Went back. Their mango donuts are to die for. Their brownies are also quite exceptional for sugar free.
Omigod! Thank you thank you!! I'm going to check out the place real soon!
BTW, put a link to you on my blog k? I'm sure you don't mind. :) See you soon! - nena
on Splenda:
"But Whole Foods banned it from its stores on the basis that there aren't enough studies to prove that it is safe and that it requires industrial processing."
from Green Guide 112 | January/February 2006
Not all of it is Splenda (which can also cause the runs - yuk.). Some are just healthy stuff. Cranberries, apples, and all that jazz. Check it out and decide.
Hi Carlos,
Thanks so much for always coming by sugarnot! in makati and featuring sugarnot! here in your blog.
I'd like to invite you to the opening of our Podium branch on Friday, June 16. You can come starting noon or at 4 PM (actual blessing). Just look for me or Wolf. In Podium we also have salads, pasta, sandwiches, coffee, and of course the cakes, pastries, breads -- all sugar free.
I hope you can make it! Thanks again!
P.S. By the way , we don't use Splenda, we use natural sweeteners derived from corn. :-)
oooooh! I wish I could. Sigh. But Ill be out of town that day.
Rats rats rats. I do dream of the mango donut type thing frequently and I have your chocolate cake in my fridge as we speak.
I shall definitely pass by soon to give my blessings.
Oh that's alright! Pass by anytime. Let me know if you'll pass by, I just work and live around the area, so it would be easy to meet up :-) 09209044828
We have new stuff-- the tiramisu is to die for!!!
see you!
