Revisiting Cafe Juanita

We fell in love with Cafe Juanita when we discovered its first branch in Pasig City. It’s near the place where I work and also near my house. I used to go there with family and friends. Now that we are about to transfer to our condo in Bonifacio Global City, I’m glad that they have this new branch in Burgos Circle. Cafe Juanita will always feel like a home away from home.

I brought my friend, Fleur and her husband, Alvin, to that new branch. I knew what to order and I volunteered to be in charge of ordering our meals (secretly hoping that they would love the food, too). For appetizers, we ordered the Catfish Mango Salad (Php 280). It was a crispy Thai inspired dish that had that sour flavor that was mouth-watering.

For our main dishes, we ordered the Bagnet (Php 357). This dish captured the hearts of the our husbands. The crispy fried pork belly with the tomato bagoong salsa was a perfect “ulam” for rice.

We also ordered the Sisig on Tofu (Php 335). I thought that the tofu was already mixed with the pork parts, but it was with the two parts on separate piles. It was actually good to have done this so that those longing for the tofu alone can actually eat only this part.

For dessert, we ordered the Sticky Toffee Pudding (Php 127) and Crepe Samurai (Php 127).

I’m glad that my friends liked it. They said that they wanted Filipino cuisine and it was a good thing that we ate there.
