food and conversation

it's been two years since i've been home and the first thing my friend did was bring me to this new cafe at gov. camins road in the city called witchcraft. it's located on the second floor and is relatively a big place. there was a sizeable crowd (even saw a couple of acquaintances) but what surprised me here was that youngsters, whom i don't usually see in more well-known cafes in manila, also hang out here. i guess it is a good tambayan for them. the food all looked quite nice and the one that i ordered - crab something on croissant is lovely. i tasted my friends roast chicken salad and it was also very good. the cheesecake, although good already, good use a little more cream cheese? well, that is only my personal taste. another surprise also was the way they serve their lemonade - on a jar! i just saw one like it on a food show the other day! :)

i liked the place - the layout, the design, the food and the atmosphere, especially when they raise the blinds on the windows and you will see the open fields leading to the airport. what is a little bit disappointing is that the place is a little bit expensive (more like manila prices) for a small city. however, i didn't mind it much as i was having a great time catching up with the goings-on in town with my friend :)
