Taste Authentic French Pastries in Pasig : Coffee Time Cakes & Pastries

Hello Sweeties,

It has been a while, I know. I had been busy with my day job as of late and I have not been able to attend any events the past few months. I was so lucky to receive and invitation from the Rizal based foodies to join a foodie meet-up near Marcos Highway.  The shop is called Coffee Time Cakes and Pastries.

Coffee Time Cakes and Pasties is a concept store that caters to the clients of their  ATMT Car Care  company that does professional detailing for cars.  It’s a relatively small shop but it is so much more!

Dragon Foodie Review: Hidden Gem found in Marcos Hi-way, Oliva Bistro Cafe

Oliva Pasig 1

Hello Sweeties!

I was surprised when I got an invitation from Zomatoph for a Foodie Meet-up along Marcos Hiway. A road I actually frequent going home. I hardly ever see any interesting dining areas along Marcos Hiway other than those inside the malls.  Oliva Bistro and Cafe  located in front of Slimmers World Marcos Hiway is virtually hidden from the road. Although they have that sign at the  front I felt, it doesn`t really encourage people to turn right towards this area.

The venue`s decore is simple and very similar to that of their Visayas Avenue Branch. At the lower right Executive Chef Kannan, one half of the owner of Oliva Bistro Cafe

The decor of this venue is similar to that of their counterpart in Visayas Avenue. The colors are simple and clean, the place is family friendly. According to Executive Chef Kannan, he is Indian by birth but Pinoy in heart, he decided to stay in the country and marry his wife Eden. They like to think of Oliva Bistro Cafe not a “fusion” restaurant but a place that serves hotel style food without the steep price tag. Their menu is a great mix of American, Italian, Singaporean, Indian, and of course, Filipino.

Are you excited to learn about the dishes Oliva they served? Read on!
