The Kitchen of Cakes and Coffee

It was an unplanned dessert experience with Eugene and Isabelle one night at Tomas Morato, Quezon City. The three of us came from a pizza-bingeing experience at a nearby restaurant when all of a sudden this hefty foodie friend of mine offered an invitation to answer his sweet tooth craving. Fortunately, the three of us were on the same boat. Minutes later we found ourselves crossing the streets of busy Tomas Morato area and entered  a hole-in-a-wall cakes and coffee shop which is open util wee hours. Honestly, it was our first time at the said branch though I've sampled some of their products last year at their branch in SM North Edsa. But I like this outlet in better because of its spacious dining area and wide array of cakes and pastries that aim to please you even late at night.

This shop has a lot to offer. Would you mind to scan through the sturdy menu board? They are not only about cakes and coffee for they offer yogurts, gourmet coffee, breads and pastries too. Definitely a lot to choose from and hey pretty easy on the pocket too!

Cozy and chillaxing ambiance with ultra fast WiFi connection.  More seats upstairs which I shall be experiencing soon should I need respite in the coming days.

Chef Laudico's Modern Filipino Menu

A few weeks back I attended an event for the launching of the newest lifestyle TV show transpired in Twin Oaks Place, Mandaluyong. The said show just aired yesterday on 2nd Avenue. People from the press and bloggers like me were treated to a lunch which was organized in a way that it is a sit-down type of meal. I happen to know due to a small piece of paper beside my napkin table cloth  that what we are about to  indulge are Chef Laudico's creative and modern Filipino dishes. Well this man never ceases to impress me with his style and dish presentation that I want to meet him in person, someday maybe. I can still recall the time to have a job interview with him or his wife some years back but was curtailed because I already find a suitable work for me that time. Just wanna share you one of the truly modern way to serve Filipino items. I noticed that Chaf Laudico's catering business is very marketable because I've encountered it several times already. Well his invention and artistic talent when it comes to our cuisine is truly remarkable; the same is true with his wife.  Let me then show you his menu that we gratefully chew and swallow one afternoon: 

This one is unfortunately not included on the list :( I don't know why. But just to give you a glimpse, it an appetizer, a chicken dish oozing with flavors because of herbs and spices with equally good chicken sauce that makes it so palatable even in just a small portion size.

Creamy Shitake Adobo Puree

Creamy soup with a bitter after taste.
