The first time I tried Kopi Roti's signature roti mums, I was blown away. I was amazed at how…read moreperfectly they replicated their Singapore counterparts. I especially love when I get to munch on their crispy edges and get to taste the coffee in the dough. A little tip: it's best to eat them with your hands instead of a fork. Make sure to have them heat the bun for you as well. Another dish I am also fond of is their soft-boiled eggs and kaya toast. This is actually the perfect breakfast meal if you ask me. Just pour in some special soya sauce and white pepper and you're good to go. Recently, I saw on Facebook that Kopi Roti came up with sandwiches that use their famous roti mums as their bun. It's about time really as I was waiting when they were to add more to their menu selection. I would definitely need to try those out!

I like that Kopi Roti is one of those cafes that serve unique menu items that are still consistent with a laidback, coffee shop feel. At less than a hundred pesos, their Milo Dinosaur is perfectly balanced. It's neither bland nor too creamy and sweet. Being a self-proclaimed Milo connoisseur, I'm very particular with my Milo drinks, and theirs is just CORRECT. It's not watered down, and they don't go overboard like they're trying to impress you with how much product they're putting into your drink. I also like their Milo toast, which is a pretty unique take on the usual roti or french toast. When my niece and I go get our nails done and she's well-behaved, I buy her Milo toast as a special treat. She and her three-year-old brother both love it. I love that there are kid-friendly options in Kopi Roti; that's a pretty impressive feat for a coffee shop.

The sauces they have available to pair with the fried and grilled food also do complement them very well. What was not as good was that there were a lot of items in the menu which were blocked out and not available to order at the time. The Pork Chop Steak is uniquely prepared by being pounded and tenderized thin. Personally, I find it a little too thin with the skin or breaded layer sometimes coming off the white meat. Service reliability was a little hit and miss. There are a few times we had to wait to be attended to. That may be passable since towards the end, more customers are starting to fill in. It was perfect that we came in when we did at just before the usual dinner time. We ended the meal by ordering something they are also known for which are the ice creams. My group all got to order different flavours from the big variety of ice cream options available.

I love bread in all its varying shapes, sizes, forms and flavours. Whenever I get the chance, I…read morealways try out new bread shops when I can. So when my best friend and I roamed around UP Town Center and found The Breadery, we instantly decided to check it out. Upon entering The Breadery, you get an assault of delicious-smelling, freshly baked goods. You also get to see a huge spread of different kinds of bread. The saleslady, who was super-duper kind and accommodating, immediately talked to us and answered every question we had. She also let us try all the items that we seemed interested on, and even though we just got done with dinner, we couldn't help but give in! Since their breads are baked on the same day, each loaf is soft and fragrant. They also have a variety of breads, some with unusual flavors like wasabi, even! They've also got the usual suspects - nuts, berries, chocolate, cream cheese, etc. I also must note that The Breadery does not seem to skimp on ingredients. Unlike other bakeries, The Breadery takes pride in giving quality, delicious products. I went out of the store carrying a Blueberry and Cream Cheese loaf and their version of the all-time fave French bread. My parents and I got to eat it during breakfast the next day and it still had the same texture and flavour as when I first tried it out at the bakery. A+ for me! It's too bad UP Town Center is a struggle to go to but I've heard The Breadery put up a branch in Ortigas. I'll absolutely check that one out when I can!

Bread! Glorious bread! I'm sorry, couldn't help myself. To all those firm believers of the "Bread…read moremakes you Fat" mantra, then this place isn't for you. You probably won't believe the amount of bread that's possible to make, and you probably wouldn't have thought some combinations would be feasible. Kimchi buns? I don't know about you, but seeing that on display alarmed me (in a nice way). What's great about it too is that they let you have a taste of the breads on display for free. It's good to know what you're getting yourself into, after all. I highly recommend the Olive and Cheese loaf. It's around 200 bucks, and it's the best you could get from this shop! To me at least! Also, if you want the good stuff (a.k.a. hot and fresh from the oven), swing by at noon or prior. The breads taste better!

When in Manila, tradition is that you have to have a real pandesal the old fashioned way, warm and just out of the oven. Pandesal is 7.50 pesos for the big and 4.50 for the regular, but there was a back to school promo that day I was there for .50 discount. They ran out of the regular so ended up getting the big size, which in contrast to the pandesal I get in the US, was considered a regular size for me anyway. The pandesal was delicious! The taste wasn't overpowering or too weak. But best of all, it was fresh! They also sell other breads. Kids tried the cheesesticks and they were soft, not too salty. This was a nice buy for the walk.
