Food Tripping: Brickwood Cafe

Welcome to Brickwood Cafe

Who say only lovers have the right to go on date during the love month? No one really just being weird! So, where to go on friendly dates! Check out Brickwood Cafe in Bacoor, Cavite. This place became viral during the last quarter for 2015. They made you think before you can access their Wi-Fi connection. Read more on this post of When In Manila. They are still doing this till this day. During our visit the password was the answer to this question "What is the Tagalog term for teenager?" Comment below if you know!

Here's their menu:

Once you have order, you will be given a table number like this. The ambiance is very cozy and even on a hot afternoon the place was cool and airy. It basically a backyard converted to a cafe. They have a stage and TV that was showing music videos.

I was excited to be there as I really wanted to try their milkshakes, especially Rainbow Unicorn. So, where is what we ordered, a small order of Nachos, in which we felt was not really small. I had Creamy Chicken with Mushroom and Rainbow Unicorn. My partner in crime that afternoon, Len got Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Marinara dip and Green Apple Breeze.

More Nachos pic as it was not small really.

This is a great place to hang out with friends! The food is good, the serving is great and if you come in the right time it is not that crowded. I recommend this place for some quality time with friends and love ones.

Just a reminder, operating hours is from 3 pm to 12 mn, Tuesdays to Sundays.

Food Tripping: Swagat Indian Cuisine

Store Front

There are a lot of restaurants along Rada Street, Makati. From Peruvian, Filipino to Indian. Swagat is located at 119 FCC Building, Rada Street Legaspi Village, Makati City ans is open from 11 am to 11 pm, Mondays to Sundays.

This is my first time to try Indian Cuisine. I was kinda scared that everything will be super spicy. Sherome was in charge of ordering after all, he knows more that I do. We got, Baigan Masala, Mutton Curry in Mild spiciness, buttered rice. As for our drinks, Sherome got sweet lassi and I got the rose lassi. We did try the Rose Soda too. 

The inside of Swagat is we decorated, I have not been to India but this place made me feel like I was in a restaurant in India. The music playing on their sound system was Indian and the crew was wearing what I think was a traditional attire in India. 

Welcome to Swagat

He looks so serious

On to the food! I love the fact that I did not feel that I was eating goat meat. I have been hearing that it is "Malansa" but with this one it felt like I was eating beef it did not feel weird at all, plus the spiciness is just right. I love the Baigan Masala it was a great match with the buttered rice. Lassi is a sweetened yogurt drink that is just right to counter the spiciness of the food. The rose soda tasted like lychee to me but it was great!
