I have passed by Satchmi for a couple of times and I never thought it was also a cafe. I do know that this is a store where they sell vinyl records which is the old storage for music or those black round things that look like a big CD. My cousin wanted to try the cafe because it it was listed as one of the nicest looking cafes in Metro Manila so one afternoon we went to Satchmi :) 



When we ordered our coffee, the barista placed it near this vinyl record players. I was so scared that I might damage these devices so we changed our seat here as seen below.

CAFE MOCHA 160.00 pesos

I can say they can make cute coffee art like this cute bunny in this flat white drink.

Here is a video of the coffee making

Dakasi Milk Tea 207 Banawe St. Lourdes, Quezon City

When I first went inside Dakasi, I really liked that its so clean and organized - from the equipments they use to make the milk teas to the designs of the walls. I usually ordered my drink for take-out but when I stayed there to drink my milk tea and just hangout and talk with my friend/brother, it was nice because they really have bright-colored and comfortable chairs.

The Banawe branch is a lot bigger than the other branches in the mall but the milk teas all taste the same in all branches I've tried so far.

Take-out

I've tried several flavors already but I just want to recommend the best ones for me in my opinion and I hope you will like them too. You can order in two sizes: Regular or Large. I have tried mostly the specialty drinks and special milk teas. Other drinks are iced teas, cremes, matcha teas, fruity yoghurt drinks, iced drinks, smoothies and yakult teas which I have yet to try. You can order Hot or cold drinks.

What drinks do I recommend you to try?

I like eating Fresh Lumpia for the vegetables taste really good together.

Ingredients

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.

Cute Menu

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.

Table arrangement outside the shop

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:

New Menu

Makimono

Sashimi, Sushi & Gunkan

Bento box & Teishoku Sets (Meals with rice and miso soup)

Donburi (meat, seafood or vegatable dishes served over a bowl of rice)

Noodles with or without soup

Short orders

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.

Brown rice tea

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.
