Get a taste of the Big Apple in this modern-industrial New York-inspired cafe <\/strong>that aims to serve good feelings all around with their unique home-cooked style dishes.\u00a0The heavy attention to\u00a0details from the furniture down\u00a0to the utensils are very much appreciated by their customers.\u00a0It\u2019s a<\/strong>\u00a0cool place for people working alone or group of friends. It\u2019s not<\/strong> for children\u2019s party where kids need space to run around.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong>\u00a0the Osso Bucco, Parmesan Pasta, Roast Chicken, NY Dirty Rice, and their specialty coffee. Our insider tip<\/strong> is the place is heavily developed by creative design teams, Craftsmith Living<\/a> and Polygon Designs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Southern Dairy is the\u00a0first\u00a0ice cream parlour in BF Homes churning homemade gelato<\/strong> in various flavors crafted with love. For now, they only make 2 gallons of each flavor everyday to ensure freshness and quality. It\u2019s for<\/strong>\u00a0sweet tooths of the South.\u00a0It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0people who are looking for dessert options other than ice cream. We recommend<\/strong> the\u00a0Mango & Graham Chunks, Chocolate Oreos and their bestselling Butter Cake Cream Cheese. Our insider tip<\/strong> is to ask for their special Donut Ice Cream Sandwich. P.S. Check out our 2015 Ultimate Guide to the Most Unique Ice Cream Sandwiches in Manila.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A\u00a0new concept from the team behind Cafe Voila<\/a> and Coffee Project<\/a>, Another Story is a storybook-inspired cafe<\/strong> that narrates through its beautiful interiors and home-cooked comfort food. It’s for<\/strong>\u00a0dessert-filled catch-ups and dates surrounded by beautiful and whimsical interiors.\u00a0It’s not for <\/strong>super early breakfast dates or really late night hangouts. We recommend<\/strong>\u00a0the Another Story Big Breakfast, Hanger Steak, and Salted Caramel Cheesecake. Our insider tip:<\/strong> Whole cakes are available, perfect for your Christmas parties coming up. Read our full feature here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ramen Yushoken serves\u00a0tonkotsu broth<\/strong>\u00a0ramen using a recipe from famous ramen master Yamagishi Kazuo. It\u2019s a casual restaurant with traditional Japanese sensibilities like fast service and not offering any eating utensils other than chopsticks.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong>\u00a0ramen lovers in the South.\u00a0It\u2019s not for\u00a0<\/strong>people who are closer to Megamall.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong>\u00a0the Miso Tonkotsu Ramen or the spicy Tantan-men with Aji-Tamago on the side.\u00a0Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Ask for\u00a0their off-menu items. For foodies in Manila, you could\u00a0also check out Mendokoro Ramenba (aka Yushoken 2.0) in Salcedo Village, Makati.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cafe Seolhwa Bingsu is a\u00a0Korean dessert cafe<\/strong> specializing in\u00a0snowflake patbingsu or shaved ice made of milk topped with fresh fruits and other special ingredients. It also serves french toasts, croissants, ramen and other light meals.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong> people looking for big desserts for sharing. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who prefer\u00a0traditional scoops of ice cream. We recommend<\/strong> the Mango Cheese, Injeolmi and Brownie Bingsu. Our insider tip is<\/strong>: One order is good for sharing by 2-3 people, depending on how hungry you are.\u00a0Fun fact:<\/strong>\u00a0Cafe Seolhwa is a Korean branded bingsu cafe and is not affiliated with any local partners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
