From the Kitchen of Mel's Cafe

Lara, Leyk and I happen to discover this not-so-new restaurant in Dumaguete City. Mel's Cafe is located at the 2nd floor of the UTH building along Sta. Catalina street. I really don't know why the whole name of the restaurant is "From the Kitchen of Mel's Cafe". Too long to remember, IMHO. Mel's Cafe could've been okay or Kitchen of Mel. HAHA. But let's put that issue aside (because it's really none of my business hehe) and let me show you what this small (but terrible) cafe has to offer. :)

Jamaican Grilled Porkchop @ Café Antonio

This afternoon, I had my late lunch at Café Antonio. This very relaxing place is located at the 2nd floor of the Spanish Heritage building, Dumaguete City. Upon getting there, I was surprised  to see that they already divided the place into two – smoking and non-smoking area (a.k.a. aircon and non-aircon area). I’m not sure when this renovation was done, because it’s been quite some time since I last set foot at Café Antonio. Though they’ve done some changes with their place, I believe one thing remains the same: GOOD FOOD.

Affordable Chinese Food @ Mandarin Tea Garden

Mandarin Tea Garden is located at the al Fresco area of Robinson's Place Dumaguete. This dimsum fastfood opened their franchise late last year and it was an instant boom to all the chinese food lovers in the city, considering also that Mandarin Tea Garden is one of the very few dimsum fastfoods around. With Mandarin Tea Garden’s very affordable dishes, I wouldn't wonder why this fastfood is loved by people from all walks of life.

Now In Dumaguete: Miguelito’s Fried Ice Cream

After having a sumptuous meal at KRI Restaurant, we dropped by Robinsons Dumaguete to buy something. We then got curious on this newly opened stall on the second floor of the mall. We got a closer look on the stall and voila! Miguelito’s FRIED ICE CREAM!

KRI Restaurant

For a food enthusiast like me, only two things matter when it comes to restaurants. First is, of course, good food and second is fast service. The ambiance isn’t really an issue for me but if the ambiance is amazing, then that could be a bonus. In this case, I found a restaurant here in Dumaguete City that packages these three features!
