DOLCELATTE


            My partner and I discovered DOLCELATTE, a café/restaurant just beside C&E bookstore located at 1616 Quezon Avenue, South Triangle, Quezon City. From the outside it looks very classy. When we got in the café we were seated comfortably. We chose the couch type at the dining area. We ordered dessert. The waiter suggested that I should try their famous Valrhona Crunch (150 Pesos) while my partner ordered a slice of Almond Rocca (120 Pesos) and a cup of Café Latte accompanied by a Chocó Chip Biscotti (118 Pesos) and I had a pot of Earl Grey Tea (90 Pesos).

            The cakes were delightful though very sweet for my taste. The café/restaurant offers pasta, sandwiches, pastries and the likes some in a medium-priced budget and some in a little more upscale budget.

Melo's At Burgos Circle


 I am way behind my posts with the busy schedule and things in between. I finally could do this again, thank God!
A million thanks to my sister-in-law who gave me a voucher from Metrodeal for Melo’s at Burgos Circle in Taguig. Surprisingly, The Fort was desserted on a Saturday.
 There were only  2 tables that were occupied when we came in at Melo's.
The staff was courteous. We were immediately escorted to our table and the waiter asked for the voucher. I ordered separately. Since I am cutting down on meat, I ordered the grilled salmon with vegetables. It came with the onion soup which is to die for. My partner had the tenderloin steak and pumpkin soup. They served us toasted bread with liver pate. Another set of freshly baked bread with butter that went along with our soup. We ordered iced tea for drinks.
The food was delectable and the service impeccable.
