TCB's Unlimited Coffee and Cakes

If you were given a privilege to enjoy luscious cakes and coffee for only PHP200.00, choosy ka pa ba?! At this very moment, you might be thinking I am just a big fat talksh*t. It might sound as if it is too good to be true but yep, it is!
I remember the first time at TCB Unlimited. I wasn't caught by that Unlimited whatsoever. But it was surprising that my very “makunat” cousin invited me for coffee after my exhausting day at the office.
We stopped at TCB Unlimited located inside the Cravings Restaurant. I was a bit confused at first. I didn’t even notice the restaurant was there before because of the huge CCA Signage standing proud along the street of Katipunan.
I just want to ask, have you ever played tug of war? Well, this game reminded when I first saw TCB’s Devil’s Food Cake. The cake was topped with complete white frosting that disguised coatings of sinfully addicting chocolate cake and caramel. To be honest, I couldn't decide which part will I dig in first! The white frosting is heavenly parallel with the invigorating taste of the chocolate and caramel combined. I guess it was not called Devil’s Food Cake for nothing. It really is sinfully tempting.

After letting my taste buds celebrate the madness of Devil’s Food Cake, I tried a slice of TCB’s Honey Mango. I must admit I am a mango lover. I never want to end my day without a couple of slice of fresh mangoes or mango cakes. Even a glass of mango juice or shake can definitely make my day. It was just amazing that Honey Mango was simply the perfect choice. Its light and soft chiffon cake layered with a thin icing and graham crumbs perfectly complemented the taste and texture of the fresh mango ball and honey in every slice.

For the third slice, I ordered a Chocolate Caramel Cake. I don’t know if my tummy could still handle this irresistible cake but the treat was too tempting for me to say no. The gooey caramel was too sweet but the texture was perfectly satisfying. I recommend you folks to make it above your list.

I am not an avid fan of coffee but TCB Unlimited’s brewed coffee was definitely worth to try especially now it's unlimited.

The treat was great. No wonder my cousin was confident to invite me for coffee. Those cakes turned my ordinary day three times better than the usual food hunting. I still want to try another cake but my stomach is already full. I wish I was prepared, I should have starve myself first!^_^

A Hangout That You’ll Surely LAB!

The Lab Gastropub is the latest sanctuary to those foodie lovers who are dying to re-discover a new set of menu. Added with an ambience that delectably rewards your senses, this place is an interesting venue for people who are craving to try out some delicacies with a different twist.
The menu reminded me about my childhood memories of
 Dexter's Laboratory, a comic cartoon series about science whatsoever.
doodles brought back those childhood cartoon memories

To begin with, let me introduce you to a must-have for diners, the popular Lab Sisig. Unlike any other sisig, Lab Gastropub had a crunchy meat sung instead of the commonly used chicharon, topped with soft poached egg, chunks of pork plus a spicy twist. The crunch complements its surprisingly irresistible blend of egg, meat and secret spices. Want to know what’s the secret? Try it for yourself!

Best sisig, try it then see for yourself!
 
Well, how about trying out their warm and freshly baked halo-halo? That’s right. It is extremely different to the ordinary halo-halo that we know. The mixture of meringue with melted ice cream and other confections plus the warm and cold temperature brought to your tongue played a great part to this dessert.

Baked Halo-halo, it's like winter meets summer 

The atmosphere is very much different from the loud atmosphere at the nearby bar and restaurants along SM by the Bay. It has a steady place ideal for those who want nothing but to chill and relax.
