Coffee Party at Bo's Coffee During the Opening at Ayala Terraces Fairview

7:53:00 AM

An all Filipino coffee in a cup with a rich flavor and an enticing aroma, would definitely make me more relaxed. That's what I usually feel whenever I get to taste a real coffee. It was like a soothing taste that calms every nerves of my body. Not really sure if it's a good thing but I enjoy having great coffee, I'm a coffee lover but not a frequent drinker of coffee.


The different kinds of coffee is not new to me as I have been tasting and filling my nerves with rich aromas of these coffee beans. Bo's Coffee, an all-Filipino cafe enticed me even more with coffee during the opening of one of their branches located in Ayala Terraces in Fairview, Quezon City. The branch did a coffee party where attendees learn more of the types of coffees they are serving. Another thing is that participants get to experience the step by step procedure of brewing a rich, strong and flavorful coffee. I was one of the lucky attendees to experience it personally. The measurement, the right way of placing the grind coffee on the filter, and the proper way of pouring hot water into the coffee.
To strengthen the vision of spreading the good all-Filipino coffee to more clientele, Bo's Coffee opens 2 more branches in Metro Manila. One in SM Light Mall just near the Boni MRT Station, which is by the way the 90th outlet of the cafe and the other one is the one I was able to attend to in Ayala Terraces in Fairview, Quezon.



"There has been a growing demand in the metropolis to open more cafes so we selected these two prominent locations to address those needs," expressed by Mr. Coochy Mamaclay, Bo's Coffee VP for Brand & Marketing.

"We want everyone to feel the Bo's Coffee experience as they look for a nook and haven where students, friends, and families can study, bond, and share stories in a cozy and feel-at-home atmosphere over their favorite local brew," Mamaclay noted.

According to Ms. Mamaclay, Bo's Coffee workers attest their loyalty to the brand by taking an oath or panata to give the best to their csutomers. They are all called partners and they make sure that once orders are made it is served with a smile. "This is how we Filipinos take care of our guests," according to her.



The brand, Bo's Coffee, does not only stays with their all-Filipino coffee but also to some other things that helps in uplifting the works of other Filipinos. Some good examples are the chandeliers conceived by world-famous designer Kenneth Cobonpue and the chairs upholstered by ANTHILL Fabric Gallery.

Ms. Mamaclay explained, "In our vow to share the great Philippines coffee experience, every cup you sip also nurtures and cultivates social enterprises and builds communities, a commitment and advocacy we take seriously."



True to their tagline "Your Homegrown Brew", Bo's Coffee sourced their coffee beans locally from the areas of the highland farmers in Sagada and Benguet in Mountain Provicne, the Mount Kitanglad in Bukidnon, Mount Apo in Davao, and Mount Matutum in Tupi, South Cotabato.

Bo's Coffee official shared that "We serve coffee-to-cup freshness using only quality coffee beans from these local and sustainable sources."

Bo's Coffee's expansion plan is off to a red-hot start and is showing no signs of stopping. She disclosed that there are plans to roll out more branches and that Bo's Coffee was eyeing to have its 100th store in the 1st quarter of 2017 and that the brand's 362 first international outlet will open its doors within the year.
Get to know more of the brand and the coffees they offers.

Check Out True Blends The Strip Branch

8:41:00 AM


Here's another shot of flavored teas on our list.  Here's some are some information about them.

Despite the growing popularity of tea as one of the main culprits for longevity among the Asians, many would shy away from the drink because of the bitter, bland taste of tea. While some would appreciate the distinct taste of tea, most people would prefer refreshing drinks with a more umami and sweet taste to quench their thirst.

Because of the mismatch between the health wonders and the unpleasant taste of tea, many innovations have been created, and one of them is the creation of the designer tea-based drinks widely available today. Milk teas are tea-based drinks with added milk and customized flavourings to mask the bitter taste of tea and to add a stronger umami taste into the blend. Fruit teas are fruit-flavoured tea drinks that add sweet, citrus flavours into the bitterness of tea, creating a more refreshing aftertaste into the drink.

Coffee and Spicy Thai Food at Black Canyon Coffee

10:11:00 AM
In just days I've tasted two different cuisines.  A really great food adventure for my thrill-seeking lips. The most recent one was something that I haven't tasted before.  It was my first time to have something like that, though, I have heard stories of how spicy the dishes are but of course I didn't believed it, not until this particular day.


So what was the name of the restaurant?  It is called the Black Canyon Coffee or BCC for short.   Their menu are Thai dishes and specialty coffee.  Basically BCC originated from Thailand and the branch in SM South Mall is their first ever branch here in the Philippines.  Black Canyon Coffee is surely another name of store to be added in the list of must visit establishment for those who loves to do food adventures.   


According to them, Black Canyon Coffee is one of the most successful Thai names in the field of coffee and dining.  Today, Black Canyon Coffee has made its name from its concept of being a full-service casual dining coffee place that serves not only a wide variety of specialty coffee drinks and beverages but also provide a list of delicious and healthy Thai and International food items.  Your eyes will be in for a treat as you browse through the array of dishes that Black Canyon Coffee has to offer and I can assure that your taste buds will definitely in for something new.


It was great that we were blessed enough to be included in the list of bloggers who were invited to their blogger feast event.  My wife and I experienced this feast as if we were on a date.  We were treated first with specialty coffee drinks of our choice.  My choice was the Mocha Glacier Frappe which is Php 130.00.  I think and in my own opinion the drink that I had was greatly comparable with the other coffee stores around.   Aside from what I had, customers can also indulge in any of Black Canyon Coffee’s 24 specialty coffee drinks and 40 special beverages, especially their “Black Canyon Iced Coffee” - a special blend of pure Arabica coffee with two kinds of milk and plenty of ice.


The Black Canyon Frappe and the Mocha Glacier Frappe.


After a few minutes, plates of different viands was laid onto our table.  There were soups like the Tom Yum and Curry Soup , the Fried Prawns with Tamarind Sauce, the Fried Sesame Pork Strips, the Grilled Black Pepper Salmon Salad, and the desserts like the Tin Roof and Premium Mocha.  It was really a feast!


The TOM YUM.
Forgot to take a picture  when it was serve.
Too eager to taste .


The Tom Yum soup did really have a spicy kick in it.  They also stated that customers can ask upon ordering if they wanted it spicy, extra spicy or none at all but the distinct taste and flavor of Thai cuisine are still present.  This is how they pride with their dishes,  strict and consistent with the measurements of their ingredients.  Aside from the Tom Yum soup, the Pad Thai and the Fried Prawns with Tamarind Sauce are my favorite.  The Pad Thai has a sweet and tasty flavor that is addicting and kids can sure love this as well.   Aside from these foods that I liked a lot, there are also other dishes to choose from and enjoy with whether it is with friends or family.

Fried Sesame Pork Strip

One of my favorite the PAD THAI.

The Curry Soup, which also have a sting.

Grilled Black Pepper Salmon Salad.
Just right for those people having their diet.

Great desserts the Tin Roof and Premium Mocha.


Black Canyon Coffee has over 220 branches in Thailand alone, not mention their other branches on various locations in Asia. The success of the brand has always been hinged on its unique formula of food quality, food variety, location, and concept. With this in mind, Mr. Pravit Chitnarapong (CEO of Black Canyon Thailand Co. Ltd.) and Mrs. Wilma Dy (President of Royal Thai Food Philippines Inc.) recognized an opportunity for bringing Black Canyon Coffee to the Philippines to cater to the very Filipino culture of food enjoyment. Black Canyon Coffee also features a rare mix of large portions yet very reasonable prices providing customers great value for their money.

Black Canyon Coffee is now open at SM Southmall, Las Piñas City at the Food Strip.

With its growing branches nationwide and a loyal community of coffee lovers, Bo’s Coffee is now opening its fifty-sixth (56th) store in the Philippines.

This new branch is nestled right inside the Nuvali community. Nuvali is a destination where people can meet up, go shopping, or just relax.

Experience A Taste of Tokyo Café

3:14:00 PM

Hearing the name Tokyo Café gives me the idea that it is somewhat associated with one of the known Japanese Restaurant , unfortunately it is not. After attending one of their blogger’s event I get to know and realized that Tokyo Café is another Japanese Restaurant that will provide good food and great eating experience.




Info about the restaurant …


Tokyo Café is currently rising as one of the sought after Japanese coffee shops in the country. The restaurant provides a cozy ambiance, delicious food, and unique Japanese beverages. With the guidance of a Japanese consultant, the café exudes a unique Japanese image effortlessly.


Coming from a reputable Japanese coffee shop, a native of Tokyo, Mr. Atsushi Yoshizawa found potential in the Philippine market. With his background with restaurant operations he adapted the same method and ventured into the food business here in our country. At the same time Ifoods Exchange Incorporated with its growing brands was able to partner with Mr. Yoshizawa that provided him a team that was able to develop and conceptualize the dishes, the restaurant look, and the entire brand.




Differentiating itself from a regular coffee shop and a Japanese restaurant, it offers first-class fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine. This is backed with a wide array of beverages and desserts. An unlike the rest, the restaurant is family friendly. Groups made up of office people, friends, and families frequent the café. The place does not brood with stiff old men or young rowdy yuppies but provides a laid back environment for any age to those who desires to have a delightful dining experience and a relaxing time.


Tokyo Café started with its first branch in SM Mall of Asia, it consistently has reported as one of the highest selling restaurants in the whole mall. After a year of successful operations, the second branch opened at SM The Block, gaining more popularity with its target market. The third restaurant is found in posh and hip McKinley Piazza wherein thriving call centers and businesses are starting to appear. While the fourth and fifth restaurant are located at Go Hotel and SM Megamall. Aside from local branch they also extend their branch in China.


Tokyo Café has proven to be the goose that lays the golden eggs for Ifoods Exchange Incorporated. The restaurant is eyed to increase in number in the years to come.


Check out some of their menus, their value meals and their promos.  It can be for a single person with a huge appetite or it can be for the whole family.

To experience a taste of exquisite Japanese foods just visit Tokyo Café!
