Dragon Foodie Review: LE PETIT SOUFFLÉ, Century City Mall Makati

le petit souffle 8Hello Sweeties!

I was with bloggers friends attending an event at Le Petit Souffle. I rarely go to Makati because I feel it is too out of the way for me.  Located on the third floor of Century City Mall near Fully Booked. I was glad I got to try some of the amazing dishes of this very unique restaurant.

LE PETIT SOUFFLÉ  is French-Japanese Cafe and concept store.  Brain child of Pastry Chef Miko Paras, with Kristine Lotilla and Chef Noel Mauricio, in partnership with Charles Paw of Hole in the Wall.

The Interiors are so beautiful, The ambiance reminds me a great deal of the Japanese coffee shops in the Japanese dramas I watch with my daughter. The place is very comfortable and relaxing, unlike the fast food joints where we are always in a rush to finish, Here we can get to take our time and enjoy the atmosphere and the food.

Dragon Foodie Review: Asian Fussion Cuisine at Fika

F1Hello Sweeties!

Last week I found myself at the Capitol Greenstreet Golf Course. While I am neither a resident of Quezon City nor a Golfer, you might be wondering what I am at such an unlikely place. Well, Zomato Philippines invited me to this hole in the wall Asian Fusion Restaurant called Fika.

Fika, in Swedish means to have  Coffee Break. According to Head Chef and First Gourmet Academy Director Mats Loo  The word “fika” is an example of the back slang, in which syllables of a word were reversed, deriving fika from kaffi, an earlier variant of the Swedish word kaffe (“coffee”). From fika also comes the word fik (a colloquial term for “café”).  As a young man, he told himself he will be an owner of a cafe and he will name it Fika.

Although this small inconspicuous restaurant serves coffee based drinks, it is NOT just a Cafe, but more of an Asian Fusion Restaurant.

From a Cafe Fika was built to help the young chefs in training from  their school First Gourmet Academy (located at the top floor of the same building) to test their skills in food preparation and service. Fika`s menu grew to as the talented young chefs learn and develop their talents.
