I'm pretty sure you think archery is pretty damn cool and it's something you've always wanted to try. Hidden away in the basement level of Makati Cinema Square you will find Kondanda Archery Range, where you can do just that. Definitely a fun activity to do with friends or even a nice unique date idea if you are looking to try something new. You get an hour of as many arrows as you can shoot! They hook you up with the equipment (bow, arrow, target, arm guard, etc.) and an instructor to help you out with the basic techniques and stuff. Then they just let you fire away and have as much fun as you can! I've already gone like three times this year. It's become my go-to activity whenever relatives from abroad come over and I wanna take them out to do something fun!

The bows are dummy proof making it super easy to line up your arrow with appropriate markers. The instructor explained everything quite thoroughly and gave great advice for good stance and form. I was a bit confused on how many whistles meant what, but after a round or two you get the gist. It's a bit of a pain to have to keep re-racking your bow, but it makes sense as it's a safety issue. I will say that I think I got worse the longer we were there haha. After 30-40 minutes my arms also did cramp up a bit, but I'm terribly out of shape so that could just be me. My only gripe is that they kept playing slow jams which really doesn't jive with archery. It'd be cool if they played something more upbeat as if we were in an action movie or something. Then I could really get into character! In all I would definitely come back. Archery is really fun and it can get quite competitive making it a great date night or just something different to do with family or friends.

My heart wanted to go with the ube pancakes, but my mind ordered the lox and rosti. The portion size was decent! It reminded me of the portion sizes in the United States. It was quite filling! It was delicious. It came with 4 pieces of lox, a pan fried potato cake, salad greens, pickles, pickled onions, and a poached egg. I also ordered the matcha Freddo, which was a coffee with matcha on top. It was interesting! I haven't had anything like that before. Most other places it tasted more like a matcha latte, but this one you could taste the distinct coffee and matcha flavors. It's iced so it's perfect for the heat! They are in their soft opening phase. The service was really attentive (then again most places here in the Philippines have good customer service). The ambiance is clean and modern. It's a nice space to come dine or have coffee. They have a pastry case when you walk in! Some may assume that they only do coffee and pastries. Though, they have a full on menu! It's more than what appears to the eye. They also have 2 hours of free WiFi which can be accessed via a voucher. They also have AC! Overall, I had a great experience here. I would come back and try some other things on the menu. I do wish they had more healthier options, but I know not everyone has the same taste as me. For my meal, coffee and mineral water I think I spent around $12 USD.

Wildflour in Taguig is that place--the kind where every bite makes you pause and go, "wow... okay."…read more Let's start with the vanilla latte because it deserves top billing. Velvety, fragrant, and perfectly balanced--rich espresso softened by creamy milk and just the right whisper of vanilla. Not sugary, not flat... just smooth, cozy perfection in a cup. The kind of latte you sip slowly because you don't want it to end. The Belgian waffle was straight-up indulgence. Golden and crisp on the outside, light and fluffy inside, topped generously with caramelized bananas, ripe mango, and strawberries. Sweet, buttery, fruity, and beautifully plated--this wasn't just a waffle, it was a moment. And then the Filipino breakfast--comfort food done elegantly. Savory longganisa over warm rice, creamy eggs, and perfectly balanced flavors that feel both nostalgic and elevated. Hearty, satisfying, and deeply comforting in that "this is exactly what I wanted" kind of way. Add in the warm, stylish atmosphere and consistently excellent execution, and Wildflour absolutely delivers. Whether you're here for brunch, coffee, or a proper sit-down meal, this place understands flavor, balance, and indulgence. A must-visit in BGC.

One thing people do not fully appreciate about traveling halfway across the world is just how…read moredisorienting the time difference can be at first. When my husband and I stay in BGC -- Bonifacio Global City in Taguig within Metro Manila -- our internal clocks are usually completely confused for the first several days. BGC itself is one of the most modern and walkable districts in the Philippines, filled with high-rises, parks, restaurants, shopping areas, and surprisingly peaceful streets during the early morning hours. So naturally, we often find ourselves wandering around the city at dawn while the rest of the world still seems asleep. And when it is 6:00 AM in Manila, it is roughly 5:00 PM back in Sioux Falls depending on daylight savings, which means our bodies are basically convinced it is dinner time while we are attempting to eat breakfast. Traveling is glamorous. Jet lag is not. During one of these early morning walks, we stumbled into Wildflour Cafe, which immediately gave us the feeling of an upscale neighborhood bakery mixed with a polished diner-style brunch spot. It was already surprisingly busy even at that hour, clearly a favorite among locals and early risers. Honestly, the easiest comparison I can make is: Imagine a much more refined and stylish version of Denny's, except with better food, fresher pastries, and significantly more polished presentation. Now to be fair, this is not necessarily the kind of breakfast that completely changes your life forever. But it absolutely is several levels above ordinary diner food. My husband and I both ordered steak and eggs along with a large serving of bread and butter to share because apparently we believe carbohydrates are an important emotional support system while jet lagged. I ordered my eggs scrambled while my husband went with over easy. The breakfast potatoes were fresh, flavorful, and wonderfully prepared. The steak itself was a bit overdone for my personal taste. My husband actually enjoys steak prepared more thoroughly for breakfast dishes, but I have always preferred at least a little pink or redness remaining no matter how small the cut may be. The real star for me, however, was the bread. Warm, fragrant, slightly crumbly, and absolutely wonderful once the butter slowly melted into every crevice. There is something deeply comforting about fresh bread early in the morning while sitting in a quiet cafe halfway around the world watching a city wake up around you. Now the one surprise during this visit was the service. Because Filipino hospitality is usually exceptional. Truly exceptional. In fact, some of the best service experiences my husband and I have ever had anywhere in the world have been in the Philippines. This particular morning, however, things felt a little slower and less attentive than what we are normally accustomed to there. Nothing terrible at all -- the cafe was extremely busy -- but it did stand out compared to the typically warm and highly attentive Filipino dining experience we have come to expect. Overall though, it was still a very enjoyable breakfast and a wonderful way to begin the day. Or technically... begin the day in Manila while our bodies were fully convinced it was bedtime back in Sioux Falls. At some point during breakfast I remember thinking: "We should probably go to sleep soon." At 7:00 AM. Jet lag is a very strange thing.

Even though I asked for an alternative milk, the drink made my mouth itchy, so I ended up having to throw it out :( Because of that, I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5, not because of the atmosphere or the people (both were lovely), but just due to the allergy mix-up.

We had HK pop ups back home in CA but PH's Uptown Mall has a real sit down, wait staff takes your order kinda cafe. I was so excited I almost ran across the 3rd floor just to get here. Go figure they placed it near the movie theaters scattered between kid friendly shops and game areas. It wasn't too busy when we arrived Thursday afternoon. After a couple of photos outside, a waitress seated us. Hmm, my uncle joked it kind of smelled like kittens inside too ... perhaps it was the bleu and feta cheese. Didn't realize they offer so many types of food aside from showcased desserts. We ended up ordering: *Portobello mushroom soup with truffles (comes with salad)-- Mom enjoyed this. *Roasted pumpkin soup *Salad Maison (has curry spiced chicken, grapes, feta, raspberry vinaigrette) presented as a flower bouquet! *Cheesy Monte Cristo (ham & cheese with egg dipped bread) *Smoked Norwegian salmon pasta (small salmon portion) *Moroccan chicken with warm cous cous Take out: *Free range chicken braised in red wine *Seared Salmon with tarragon cream sauce *Chocolate Mint profiteroles (mini cream puffs) *Mango Charlotte dessert We ordered a hot matcha latte and hot cappuccino, both decorated with a HK stencil. The matcha wasn't too sweet or bitter. The pumpkin soup presentation was adorable! I found it funny how the wait staff kept placing each dish in front of me, probably because they saw me taking photos. I almost ordered a chocolate crinkle cookie "biskie" which is two cookies with cream piped between, creating a sandwich. Sis & I had too many crinkles on the trip though. The mango Charlotte is presented very nicely with soft lady fingers all around a vanilla chiffon swirled with mango purée, quaintly wrapped together by a lilac bow. Taste-wise, I didn't like the cake texture. It seemed like spongy cream I wasn't fond of. The mini choco mint profiteroles were good, not much mint. I also don't understand those colorful bow cutouts topping off food-- they're not ham so what are they? Definitely take photos and sit in one of the gold cage tables. They have three total and can be reserved in advance, for a meal, dessert, or even birthday party. On a lower note, our waitress seemed like she didn't like her job and never smiled. What, do we have to bring a kid in order to enjoy HK cafe? The remaining wait staff were more lively. Drinks and entrees arrived in a timely manner. Leftovers were boxed neatly, as well as dessert for take out. All that food for PHP 4470 ~$85! It would cost much more at home. Overall, Hello Kitty lovers will enjoy the experience. Hopefully, they'll have decorated doughnuts available more often.

Umm.. the food is kinda disappointing. You'd think a character cafe would have crappy food right?…read moreBecause all their efforts pretty much go towards pretty presentation? That's what I assumed when I went to the Gudetama Cafe in Osaka, Japan - but the entrees served there actually tasted delicious AND looked cute! I wasn't expecting much, but was hopeful that the Hello Kitty Cafe would be just as delicious. It's actually pretty underwhelming. I had the White Chocolate Kirsch (blech) and the Oreo Shake. Cute-looking, but nothing tastes that good. It's fun to go here if you're trying to entertain little kids or for a cute date idea, but I probably wouldn't go back to eat here again after the first time. It looks like you can reserve tables too. If I were to improve the menu, I would add at least some sundaes or ice cream cone options - that would be really cute. Instead, the dessert options are all kinda.. ok. Maybe the Hello Kitty Cafes in other countries are miles better than this sad one. I gave a star for good service, decor, and food presentation.
