Chemistea (Quezon City)

Chemistea (Quezon City)

Milk tea shops and stores has been sprouting everywhere all over the country and people are going crazier over them. There's even debates over milk teas and iced coffee on what's the better drink but amidst all the hype and controversies, looks like the milk tea hysteria isn't going anywhere. There are different concepts, themes and selling points that each milk tea shops are doing to market their drinks and we think that Chemistea has one of the best concept and theme in the game.







At first glance, the place is relatively small but you'll soon realize that the space has been maximized to accept a good number of customers all at once. Customers comes and goes, from teens to the older bracket, this just shows that the interest for this certain milk tea shop is quite good. 

Their tables are very cute because it was designed with a periodic table look of different elements. A thumbs up for incorporating it for their overall theme. They have a corner where you can choose what books to read while waiting or while just chilling. Below that are different card and board games you can play with your friend while hanging out. It's encouraging the customers to make their time more enjoyable while having their milk tea fix in Chemistea.

They also have a freedom board where you can post anything you'd want to say while you were there and I think this is also a plus points for Chemistea.


These are the drinks that we tried and these are just some of their bestsellers.

As you can see above, the 'experiment' thing about their teas isn't just a marketing ploy for its instagrammable look but it is also very real! You can really experiment and try to add different flavor and adjust its sweetness via the sweetener. The 'base' tea we got is naicha tea. We had fun experimenting and adding ingredients.

Taste-wise, I have no words but everything doesn't just look good, but they also tastes good. It's just a bonus that you get to drink it in an Erlenmeyer flask on in a beaker that makes the experience more enjoyable and unique.



Of course they also serve food and snacks. We got to try their nachos and their spicy tuna pesto and both are approved. The spiciness of their tuna pesto isn't too much and manageable so even if you don't really like spicy food, this can be a little challenge but it will be worth it.







Chemistea is one of those place wherein you can their drinks and place all at once as well because they have card and board games. The place looks humble and very cute, not too overwhelming and perfect to chill or catch up with a friend.

Plus, they use metal straws so you are also sure that they care about the environment!

You can visit them at  44 Shorthorn St., 1106 Quezon City or you can check their facebook page to know more details: Chemistea Facebook Page.

10,000 Roses Cafe & More (Cebu)

10,000 Roses Cafe & More (Cebu)

One of the most iconic and instagrammable place you can go to in Cebu is the famous 10,000 Roses Cafe and More. It made waves a few years ago but even until now, tourists and travelers are still drawn to this attraction whenever they would come to Cebu. It is located in Day-as Brgy. Road in Cordova, Cebu. It's quite far from Mactan airport but if you really want to go and see these roses, I think that the little hassle can be worth it.


The 10,000 artificial roses can be seen even from afar. You'll just have to find a spot you think you'll look best but honestly, it will not be that hard since most corners of the place can be used as a background for your ootd or instagram post.

Aside from the 10,000 roses outside, there's a cafe where you can get your coffee fix or feed your hunger after a few minutes of going around and posing for pictures. The cafe is quite small, but there's an al fresco side which is very spacious overlooking the sea. It is located at the farther part of the field of roses but you can see it clearly because of its sign.


The weather is quite sunny but not really that hot when we came, so we kind of enjoyed going around before we finally entered the cafe and order our food.


Yep, we were kind of hungry at that time so we ordered one pasta and one kind of fries each.







First of all, let me tell you how expensive their food and drinks are. Their pasta ranges from 350php to 400php. Their fries ranges from 200php and up. I mean, some cafes has this kind of pricing as well but we are disappointed with the taste of the pastas. Tons of big slices of garlic. The bacon pasta is just plain oily. The carbonara is also bland. Their fries are a little too pricey as well but we loved it so I guess, that's the 'pampalubag' in here.

The frappes are okay, I guess. Price is usual so it's a thumbs up for us.

The service is nice, if I may add. They gave us a complimentary cake to taste and although I didn't know what's it called and my friends didn't like it, I loved it!


If you guys want to see the place, here it is.





There are ample of seats and tables in the al fresco area facing the sea. The breeze is cool. There's no unwanted smell coming from the water or something.

There is an entrance fee of 20php per person. It was said that going there used to be free, but people are so reckless, some are even damaging the roses that they had to ask for an entrance fee for funds to changed the roses.


Before you reach the entrance of the cafe, they have a souvenir shop.






My friend bought a small version of the artificial rose with led lights in the souvenir shop. Our grab driver saw it and thought she got it from the field. We laughed and said that it was from the souvenir shop. The grab driver told us that he had some passengers before holding an artificial rose and it came from the field itself, so when he said that it's not 10,000 roses anymore, I believed him.

Anyway, we would have tried their pizzas but it's unavailable. Do not be discouraged by this review of their food as they can be improved or there might be other dishes that tastes better.

FAT NINJA (SM FAIRVIEW)

FAT NINJA (SM FAIRVIEW)

Gyoza is usually common in some Japanese restaurant. But what makes this different to others? We found the answer at Fat Ninja.


Fat Ninja serves quality Japanese meals and it's a Gyoza place.




The place is not that big can still accommodate number of people. I love that it looks so neat, like it's not crowded despite of the tight space.
