After a 10 minute drive from our office, this cute cafe was posted in blogs as my friend told me upon arriving here. This is located in the 3rd floor of the newly built Hemady Square in Doña Hemady St, New Manila, Quezon City.
The pink lights were so cute for the flower design was perfect for the light. The interior was designed very well to make it look so cute.
Everything is pink and cute which I really like because I'm a fan of cute stuff.![]() |

They have a one page menu for their food and it was fortunate that they serve main meals. I told my friend that rarely do cafes serve rice meals but in this cafe they serve such meals.
Another page is for the desserts and drinks.
I was so glad to know that there are healthy and affordable snacks in SM Savemore. I tried the Turon Espesyal Combo which is a 20 pesos snack that consists of turon and water is filling and nutritious.
The turon was really big and had lots of bananas. These snacks become another good food option.

After we had dinner, we made a short trip to the new dessert shop Cookie Dream located in SM Mall of Asia. I researched about cookie dream before eating here but I can't imagine cookies and ice cream together.
My brother bought discounted online coupons that we can use here but I must say the price is really reasonable because the cookie ice cream tastes really delicious.
The place gives you a feeling of a cool atmosphere probably because of how the lights were set-up.

This restaurant has been operating since I was in college but I did get to try the food here only after graduating college. Eating Japanese food here was the first time I've ever eaten Japanese food and I tried the California Maki Rolls. I am thankful that first time introduction to Japanese food gave me a positive view on Japanese cuisine from what I was always used to.
Ever since I tasted Yutaka's version of California Maki, this has been the standard for all other California Maki I will eat because this is my first maki. The taste of freshness of the ingredients and right saltiness level are two things in Yutaka's maki that I really like.
They have a good menu if you are interested to try Japanese food.
Here the menu for you to browse through:
Or you can order SETS
Finally, when you get to choose what dish you would like to try at Yutaka, don't forget to ask for their free unlimited house tea as long as you're dining in.
I think this is one of the few Japanese restaurants in Quezon city. I remember a former schoolmate who lived in Japan for a month or two once told me that Yutaka tastes like authentic Japanese food so I remembered that when I finally ate there.

Chips or junk food
I'm not promoting Fritolays but rather sharing my experience in eating their chips and other chips. I've started eating this chips only when I started my second job because I wanted to try new food.
These junk foods are found usually in the imported goods section after the local junk foods section in groceries.
Update: This restaurant is already closed. I'm a bit sad because I really like the chicken here.
If you happen to be in the area in Quezon city near SM Sta. Mesa, you must try this korean restaurant, Holdak. I've been eating in this place for quite some time and I thought I might share the experience.
