New Cafe Discovery: Pret A' Manger Cafe in U.N.

We were around U.N. area yesterday for some errands. We were looking for a different cafe. It says on Google Map that it is just around the area, when we felt like we can't find it, we saw this cafe. We just passed by it on the plan of looking for the other cafe. But when we saw this, we told ourselves why not give it a try. From the door itself, since its glass, you can already see the price of the food and drinks. We noticed that it is affordable enough so we gave it a try.

 There were two group of people dining in so we did not hesitate, at least we won't experience the "all eyes on us" kind of dining.


I just love the red couches that they have for the guests. It gives you the feeling that you are really home.
Plus, as you can see on the picture, it still has second floor, which gives you also the chance to see and enjoy watching everyone that comes and go downstairs while enjoying your favorite coffee.

This is what we ordered. White mocha frappuccino for my love and cappuccino for me.

I also saw in their menu that there is Monte Cristo Sandwich.
I became a fan when we first had a taste on it at Cafe Antix, so it made me try their own version of it.
Its good for me, I liked their version, but maybe I was just given the chance to taste a better one so there was a comparison that took place on which is better..which in the end, for me, still belongs to Cafe Antix. ;)

If ever you don't like this, worry not as they also have other offerings like pasta, and bagels which can match your coffee.

I also love how they separate a sugar syrup so that I will be the ones to put how much i would like depending on the drink. 

The price of the food is also okay for me. Its budget friendly, like what I said. All in all we just spent P350.00 for this. Not bad.

I am not that sure if it is just their soft opening because I still see flaws like the service is a bit slow, and they are still unsure on whoever will be doing or preparing our orders.

Pret a' Manger is the coffee shop just downstairs of The Pearl Manila Hotel.

If ever you wanted to pay a visit, it is just a few steps away from Manila Medical Center in U.N.

Late Summer Beachin' at Casa Angelina, Zambales

Image
Can no longer remember when was the last time I updated my blog. I've been so busy that I forgot to put up some stories here. Anyways, just a few months ago, we learned about this so called Casa Angelina, from the town of Cabanagan, Zambales. I know it may not sound as familiar as San Felipe, San Narciso, or San Antonio, but this place is also perfect if you are after peaceful vacation away from the city life. Casa Angelina is owned by the husband and wife tandem of Roy and Joanne. They personally assist the requests of the guests. It only has 4 rooms, 2 are garden view, and the other two for the ocean view. According to Roy, they prefer to keep it that way so the guests can feel the exclusivity of the place. Each room can accommodate up to 7-8 guests comfortably.  (garden view rooms) (This is the first bed you will see when you open the room. They have an additional double deck and bunker bed. Too bad I forgot to take pictures of them.) Their comfort

Vista Tala: Home Away from Home

Image
We just recently went to Vista Tala in Bataan. Another place we found perfect to de-stress and unwind from the busy life we all have at work. With just 3 1/2 to 4 hrs away from Manila, Vista Tala is situated almost at the top of the mountain that's why you expect a really cold weather and a very poor if not no signal at all - perfect if you want to get away and relax for a period of time. We went there on weekday so there's actually not much people except for those that are there on a day tour. We were a bit late from their usual check-in of 2pm. Good thing they are not that strict in terms of check-in period. Since we arrived late, we decided to rest for a while and do some picture taking since its nearly sunset and the weather is getting a lot colder we opt to swim in the morning instead. Look at the view <3 You'll be provided with Wi-Fi Passwords but this only works when you are in the swimming pool area and not when you are inside the room. Ever

Antipolo's Best Kept Luljetta's Hanging Gardens Spa

Image
Its been more than a year since I last updated my blog. A lot has happened by then. I focused more on my work, my boyfriend had worked overseas and a lot more. So when he came back, okay we're now back to our usual dates and mini adventures. :) Prior to him coming back, I was already looking for places that we can go. One recommendation I got was this place in Antipolo called Luljetta's Hanging Garden. Right after my boyfriend got enough rest and catching up with his family and friends, I booked a reservation right away.  We thought its a bit far knowing its Antipolo, and we're coming from Cavite. However, we got there faster than we thought we would. The place is already a bit famous in the area so no need to worry that they may take you somewhere else. We already paid the package that we got before going there. We were informed that there's really a lot of people who goes there on weekends so we might come there and get nothing out of it if we do walk-in. W
