CHOCO BANANA SPLIT FOR MY SWEET TOOTH.
QUICK SNACK WITH THE SAINTS
THE PLACE
Holy.. I believe is the concept of the place. It's vintage.. perfect for a place like Intramuros. The wooden ceiling, the old chandelier, the tables and chairs make me feel like dining inside an ancestral house.
THE PLACE
While the place is so fancy, I fell in love with their menu. They offer a variety of drinks, pizza, pasta, even rice meals.
As a seeker of something new, I definitely tried their unique pizza, it's innovative that they topped laing with their thin crust pizza. I also ordered their pineapple carrot smoothie. Something healthy, eh?
Plus the prices are really affordable, mind you, with no service charge.

MY KIND OF NIGHT.
When I attended an event at Bonifacio High Street, I ended up at having dinner at Mercato with my friends. It is a night market which offers a wide selection of food that would definitely suit the cravings of your taste buds.
There were a lot of people because it's a Saturday night but there are a lot of tables and chairs as well. The tables are bit dirty tho because people are dining in out but for the love of food, you can surely find a way.
THE FOOD
Overwhelmed. That is exactly what we felt when the variety of food welcomed us. It was a hard decision choosing the food to buy because I tell you, there's a variety of it.
We roamed around first to check all the selection just because we want to make the right decision. Haha. There were street foods, more than what the street carts usually offer. There were seafoods, and other exciting pica pica. They also have grilled barbecue and different ihaw ihaw to choose from. There are also stalls which offer pasta, pizza, pizza lasagna, even burgers. There are also available shawarma, meals. And yes, there are desserts. From cupcakes to cakes, cookies or pastries- they have it for you. And my favorite? Ice cream. There are few stalls which offer unique ice cream flavors. To wash out every food you have taken, refresh yourself with the drinks that are also much available.
MUST TRY
Nitrogen liquid ice cream: Not just it has a rich flavor but you'll also be entertained by the smoke it creates while it was being prepared especially for you.
It's a kind of Saturday night I would love to repeat all over again.

While me and my friend wants to feast over the appetizing selection of japanese food, we just chose to order dumplings, sushi and one thing that we can never remove on our order list, desserts.

THE PLACE
The place is indeed fancy. I personally like the white and blue interior because it makes you want to sit back and relax, free your mind and feast your heart out.
THE FOOD
From their wide selection of food, you can choose your appetizer, main course and my favorite part, desserts. Since we're on a diet when we visited the place (we know, wrong move), we fought so hard against temptation, not to order a heavy meal. So we just settled ordering their salmon spring rolls and their coffee pie, mind you, the coffee pie was sugar free, again, sugar free. Washed down our food with their ripe mango juice.

THE PLACE:
The place is cozy, I must say, it's very clean and calm. It's the perfect place to relax, read book and sip a hot drink.
When we visited the place, there were a couple of people, even if it's a weekday. We chose the table on a bit corner just because it gives you the sense of exclusivity.
THE FOOD:
We ordered their pastries and their famous hot chocolate drink, of course.
The pastries are very unique. It was sweet, too sweet but then the bacon bits gave a salty taste. To other one has a very smooth texture which has a kick of cinammon.
And their hot chocolate? It was to die for. It has the right taste of chocolate drink. The foam can take you to heaven.
