Ca Phe Saigon announces expansion in Antipolo City

Starting from a homey garage setting in Marikina City and made their first extension at The Podium, Ca Phe Saigon climbs up to the cool climate of Antipolo City to serve warm phở, delectable bánh mì, rice dishes and more to individuals who crave for authentic Vietnamese delicacies. The new branch is located along Sumulong Hi-way, a few blocks from Robinson's Place Antipolo and the Antipolo Market and it is very easy to find.

Ca Phe Saigon is the brainchild of the owners' mom who is actually from Saigon and married a Filipino that created a family in Marikina. The interior of this new branch is inspired by her memories of Saigon when she travels the roads via bicycle in her áo dài and nón lá. She shares her love of food to Filipinos with dishes that cater to our taste buds and breaking barriers of language and culture. Soon, this branch will also have its al fresco dining and own herb garden where they can pick herbs and spices so the food will have the freshest ingredients -- just like their Marikina branch where the owners' father cultivates.

The expansion was sparked by customers who go down from Antipolo for Ca Phe Saigon's delicious dishes. And after many ocular inspections, they finally secured the place. Now it will be easier for Antipolo residents to access authentic Vietnamese dishes.

Bringing the recipes across all branches, visitors will have both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes that will bring warmth and great dining experience. All dishes are made on-site, with ingredients that are sourced directly from Vietnam (George, their executive chef flies to Vietnam every 6-8 months for supplies) and some were locally made. They also have a signature pho recipe, made by the owners' mom. Dedication is given to the dishes, with soup that is not made with commercial bouillon but they rise as early as 4am to create the best tasting soup noodles.

 

Banh Mi is also made just right. The bread is not too soft or too hard and allows you to bite to the savory fillings and fresh vegetables.

Vietnam is also famous with their fresh rolls or goi cuon, the classic summer roll rice noodles with lettuce, mint leaves, lean pork and shirmp all rolled up and served with special peanut sauce. You can also have a vergetarian version of this.

To cap it all off, have yourself a cup of warm Vietnamese brew while loving the climate of Antipolo City.

 

You can try more dishes at Ca Phe Saigon Antipolo aside from these. You can also have your dishes delivered from the Marikina or Podium via Grab Food or Food Panda up to 5km radius.

Shakeaway
The biggest milkshake store that I've been because it can create many of your desired milkshake flavors in one place! And they named their milkshake very unusually: think of any boy's or girl's name and they will have it crafted for you -- complete with chocolate or candy sprinkles over a tall cloud of whipped cream! They also have healthy options like granola and oats too. Just find the huge white place near Gringo's.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Probably where I can be spotted when I'm at UP Town Center, sipping coffee, chatting or making myself busy with the reliable internet, thank to my Swirl card perks. CBTL is a comfortable meeting place for people of all sorts. Whether it's coffee, frappe or tea, it is always a must-try. Lifehack: refillable hot water when you order tea.

REVIEW: HARINA Artisan & Bakery

There are times when I crave for bread and it's just not for the usual staple, I want it with fillings. Sometimes the crumbs and crusts are very tasty and crunchy as I wanted it and almost find nothing nearby.

I had a little shop that I wanted to check out since it opened in November. I always pass by this simple place near White Plains, Katipunan. The little white house called Harina Artisan which welcomes you like you are called in for a short visit to relax, dine and enjoy.

Really feels like home located in the tranquil and interesting Katipunan street that has a fusion of country living in an urban setting. Very accessible for all motorists from Marikina, Pasig and Quezon City, and a great place to hang out  with its comfortable interiors.

When you check their bread, you will ran out of imagination and will just wait for the surprise. When we checked this place out, I was a little sick and the short fun with my friends had it cured. We started with these crunchy baked bread sticks that you'll dip in cheese and chocolate. I thought it was milk but it's equally good.

Then most of the bread dishes are good for sharing. The presentations are very appetizing and it tastes as good as it looks. They put in steak, vegetables, chicken, cheese and more. Served to you like a feast and your tongue and tummy will definitely enjoy. They also serve pasta if you have those Italian tastebuds and all dishes are prepared from fresh ingredients. I forgot to mention that the bread is freshly baked and  handcrafted by their baker masters.

If you have time to visit Harina Artisan, they are already open from 6AM so you can have your yummy breakfast until dinner, 9PM. Call 352-6721 for orders or visit www.harina.ph for details.
