I went to Planet Grapes for dinner with my Uncle. I had heard about it from my sister and…read morebrother-in-law, they told me they ate here a few times while they were on vacation. Planet Grapes is located at Shangri-La Plaza. It's interior is really nice and modern. You order your food on these tablets which is cool. I got a glass of their Paco Garcia red wine from Spain, it tasted pretty good and had great flavor to it. You can order the amount of alcohol you want to, I forgot the exact sizes but it was something like a sip, half glass, full glass or whole bottle. The was pretty cool since they don't really offer those options in the U.S. It makes it convenient if you want to go wine tasting and try out several options. For my meal, I ordered the Zucchini Penne Telephono Pasta. It tasted just alright. My uncle ordered the Fish and Chips and he enjoyed his food. Maybe next time I come back I'll just order a few wines and a cheese board. Great place to get your wine fix in the Philippines!

I was a little disappointed at the wine selection at this particular branch because it only has…read moreabout 16 bottles of wine to choose from. They have each of these wines in a chiller, tapped and ready to pour if you only want a glass. I was also disappointed they didn't have wine flights. As for food, the gambas and chorizo is really good. The lemongrass and gochujang chicken inasal was delicious. The ribs were too sweet for my taste. The ambiance is relaxing, and a good place to go to unwind. Beware that if you sit next to the kitchen, you can smell the smoke coming out from there.

The wait staff was very knowledgeable about every dish, describing it in detail. The experience was such an inviting one. Each dish was a various explosion of flavor and texture. I personally enjoyed the tofu wrapped in spring onion, oh my gosh. What a delight! You don't find many vegan course meals here and at an affordable price. A great place to eat and the ambience was very warm and inviting kahit umuulan. Will be back to try if they have any more vegan options in the future

Rooftop bar at the Seda BGC. Great views over BGC. Stopped by here a couple times during our visit…read moreto Seda to grab a drink and some small plates to share. Smaller menu, but a good variety of choices to share. We got a bunch of plates to share amongst the table, but they're also a good size if you want a meal to yourself. The crispy pata, calamari, and sisig were our favorites of all our visits. Also have a good bar menu. They were out of about a third of the menu during our visit, but what we did end of ordering was decently enjoyable. The Hiyas and the Isla were good. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and we had no problems in getting a walk-up table. Great music playing. Menu was a bit overpriced - probably due to being inside of Seda. And they were also out of a few of the things we tried to order. Good choice for a nice night out with a great view of the city. Perfect choice if you're staying at the Seda and want to grab a bite to eat or a drink and don't want to leave the hotel. Would 100% recommend this for dinner over Misto.

I love the way this chef thinks. While people tend to look outward for flavors, some tend to forget…read morethat we have a great palette of flavors to work with right here! Case in point, the way the Baker's Table takes candy from your childhood and uses it as the backdrop for pastry. Personally, I think it's brilliant. Candy's everywhere yet they've managed to take something so mundane and repackage it into something absolutely fitting. Three words, people: Butterball Caramel Cake. Predictable as I am, that was all it took to convince me of its brilliance. I love the fact that they never lose the essence of the candy. It's right there even if you're eating a piece of cake. They don't even commit the usual sins most bakeries do. The cake isn't dry and it isn't cloyingly sweet. Perfect with a cup of coffee (or tea, as my case was). I really can't say too much about this place. Candy has this sort of effect on people where no two experiences will ever be the same. It's really the kind of cake that's better experienced than read about.

This cake shop is a total childhood throwback, as they feature cakes made from local popular sweets…read morelike Hang, Potchi, and Haw Haw. Despite me living a few minutes away, I first saw them on TV, baking their bestseller: Haw Haw cake. I'd always loved that candy, and I still do. I buy some from sari-sari stores whenever I can, so I didn't waste time and headed straight to the bakery. That cake is such a hit. They didn't have any in stock during my visit so I had to drop by the next day. To my horror. I went back first thing in the morning and sure enough, a whole cake was there waiting for me. I think a single slice costs around Php 125, which isn't really bad. We're talking about premium cakes here. The Haw Haw cake reminded me of tres leches, for some reason. Light chiffon, a little moist. It has a thin cream filling and the frosting tasted exactly like the candy, only better.

Despite being a neighborhood full of hip restaurants and awesome food finds, I feel like the Tomas…read moreMorato area lacks in delectable dessert places. While we do have Razons, a couple of bakeshops and coffee shops and some yogurt places, there isn't really one cake shop that stands out - except for Fleur De Lys. Fleur De Lys is one of the more long-standing restaurants in the area so they must be doing something right to have that kind of staying power. That something right can definitely be found in their molten chocolate cake. Now I'm someone who has had her fair share of yummy chocolate cakes, but this is surely one for the books. Fudgy, melty, gooey and chocolatey go oh-so-well together with the cold and creamy vanilla ice cream on top of it. For some awesome dessert, Fleur De Lys is surely worth the stopover.

I don't remember when my love affair with Fleur De Lys started exactly, but I do remember wondering…read moreif it was a spa or cosmetic surgery clinic back when much of the dessert cafe within was hidden by its unassuming facade. They've since spruced up the exterior, and once I've had a try at their cakes I've been constantly been going back for my dessert fix and have never looked back. Their cakes are gorgeous and delicious as hell. I've tasted nigh everything from their macadamia nut pie to their pavlova to their almond loca and I have yet to be let down. *Except* for this one time that I brought friends there and I got to taste a disappointing, dry cheesecake. CHEESECAKE! I didn't know there was a way to screw up cheesecake, to be honest. Maybe it was dry because we had it late into the night? I dunno. In any case, I'll still be coming back as I always see new things on display whenever I visit. Their non-dessert food is worth coming back to as well (their pumpkin soup and sardine pasta at least) and I do have plans to try their macarons and more of the Caramilk ice cream flavors they sell as well. Get to it, sugar junkies!

Went here for a family breakfast and we liked the ambience of the place - cozy and good for groups…read more The wait ataff was quite attentive. They have several breakfast and dessert options and I was pleasantly surprised as they weren't pricey. We got bacon and pancakes, eggs, french toast and sausage, and longanisa and tapa meals. The serving time was long - maybe they were understaffed? Serving size of the pancakes and french toasts were big. The tapsilog and longsilog servings were petite. We had apple pie and blueberry cream cheese for dessert. My family really liked the richness and taste of the apple pie. My mom said it's the best apple pie she's had in the Philippines so far.

I used to have my laundry done on this place close to The Round Robin Café. I'd usually drop off my…read morestuff, buy something for lunch nearby, and head home. The café never really had my attention until this one time I dropped off my dirty clothes particularly early, and it was the only one open. So I bought one of their rice meals to go and had my first try. I'd like to say that was a moment of serendipity as I have found that I enjoy their food thoroughly. PROS: This barbeque chicken meal has this glaze that's sweet and savory and not too strong. It's one of my favorites; We call this place "Starbucks If You Want To Support Local" as their coffee tastes similar (a less syrupy version). And it's Toffee Nut the whole year round!; The Oreo cheesecake and super moist chocolate are so rich and decadent. Almost like the politicians of Manila. CONS: Not really the place I'd choose to stay for long as it tends to fill up quickly, with its limited space and all; Cake slices are big enough if you're in it for dessert after filling up on dinner. If not, it might be bitin. TL;DR: This is one of my go-to places for wallet-friendly, tasty food.

I love cake and I think people should give Cake2Go the recognition it deserves. Sure, the idea of a…read morechain solely based on cake delivery might not be so attractive, considering the proliferation of cake shops and pattiseries all over the metro. The idea of unique, homemade, artisan cakes might appeal more to the culturati in us, but Cake2Go makes undeniably lovely cakes which shouldn't be ignored. I admit I was a skeptic to, at first. I had to get a cake for this one mother's day and I needed to have it delivered. I didn't want to settle for the regular chains so with the Cake2Go at Timog being so close to my jeepney route, I decided to give it a try. I had a pleasant exchange with the staff there while deciding what to get, though I was pretty tired (I know you don't want us to stay too long, but you could use some seating guys) and settled on the most non-offensive cake I found, a quattro leches. My mom likes chocolate, but my brother can't have it, so I thought this would be an okay, nice cake to have, which I'd compensate for with an exceptional bouquet of flowers. But lo and behold, that quattro leches is golden stuff! Color me impressed. Their dulce de leche cheesecake and Bugs' carrot cake are delightful, as are their cookies, which were quite the surprise. They're pretty big, soft, sweet, and quite cheap as well. Their prices in general may be just a tad more expensive than the others, but I'm sure to be trying more from them.

This place is awesome.
