I work in a very cool office where I have to wear a thick coat every single day. Yet, my life seems not cool enough so I decided to chill out at Cold Layers Cafe.
Despite sounding ironic, there are really times in our lives where we find ourselves in a cafe freeing ourselves from our life of computations and complications.
So off I go to Fishermall to share a meal with fellow foodies.
I have passed by Cold Layers Cafe countess times...
and all those time, I thought they only served snow ice.
Food
Savory Meals
Creamy Chicken Pesto (268 php) |
Turns out, they have a menu for savory meals too. Charging off our meal with the Creamy Chicken Pesto. Let me just point out that this pesto-spiced pasta is as creamy, cheesy and chicken-y as stated.
♥ Chicken Teriyaki (268 php) |
The savory options comes in a worldly variety. Yes! There's Chicken Teriyaki! It was soft, sweet and saucy, served in a way that could sweep your soul away.
Weekday Specials
Set B: Chicken Cordon Bleu with Iced Tea (199 php) |
Hotmeals & Sandwiches
Cheesy Meat Lasagna (266 php) |
If there's a Pinoy-style spaghetti, this has got to be a pinoy-style Cheesy Meat Lasagna. It's got the sweetness that will bring you back to joyful childhood sensations.
♥ Slow Cooked Beef Ribs (340 php) |
Because life is fast, I do appreciate everything prepared slow. Thus, my favorite amongst the savory meals is the Slow Cooked Beef Ribs.
Fish n' Chips (220 php) |
Since I wouldn't share the Slow Cooked Beef Ribs, good thing there the Fish n' Chips for sharing.
Special Series Fresh Fruit Snow Ice
♥ "Let's Split" Milk (175 php) |
Sure, the savory meals were a pleasant surprise. But, my eyes shines upon the sight of snow ice.
I found the "Let's Split"interesting. I have thought of two perspectives for this treat. One is to order this for sharing. The other is to order it for as a foreshadowing treat before delivery a breakup speech.
♥ "Summer Fling" Mango (185 php) |
I feel "Summer Fling"is inappropriate for this one. Sure, it might be light but it's so captivating that you'd want to have it longer than just one summer.
♥ "Meant to Be" Matcha (195 php) |
The Snow Ice selection that really spoke to me was the "Meant to Be". A spoonful of this and I knew it was destiny! This matcha really got me. I bet it will mean the same thing for other matcha lover.
"First Crush" Soy (200 php) |
The "First Crush" is light and Chinese-influenced just like my first crush.
"Sweet Surrender" Horlicks (210 php) |
Ahh... I do love horlicks. We used to alternate plain milk, Milo, Ovaltine and Horlicks every night when we were kids. So yes, the Sweet Surrender is Tsinoy Foodiesapproved!
Bubble Tea & Coffee
Chocolate Frappe 22oz (110 php) |
They have cool drinks too. I was expecting frappes to be caffeine loaded and stuff. But, the Chocolate Frappe was rather sweet and chocolatey like Chuckie or Moo served with whipped cream on top.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Cold Layers Cafe is a cute, colorful and a cool place to chill out for savory meals and snow ice. The food is good but it doesn't come cheap. Is it costly because it is a cafe? Not sure about the savory meals but I am super sure I would shell out for the snow ice.
