Lots of tea to choose from! Lots of great teas to try.

Va Bene!

Va Bene in Makati located at a Petron gas station in EDSA pasay road is so far the BEST pasta I have ever tasted! Interesting location for a best 2012 restaurant in Esquire. Usually, food at the gas stations are fast food not freshly handmade food. 

Small space and  crowded .

I love their mushroom soup with truffle oil! superb!

buffalo cheese salad in balsamic glaze

Chez Karine Bakery

Best Vanilla Pudding! the Panna Cotta was just ok we prefer the pudding , its so creamy! there's Muscovado Pudding for diabetic people not too sweet.

some of the macaroons are perfectly cooked not chewy but most of what I ate is chewy.  I liked the earl grey and lemon a bit tangy.

We found a Kong Tiak Vegetarian  restaurant / temple at Banawe , Quezon City. 

 Here's their best seller! The Fried Mushroom dipped with their special sauce. Just perfect!
If your not a vegetarian you'll still like their food. Some of the dishes tastes like meat! The meals cost from 120-500 pesos, cheap and yummy!
