CCL Cafe Launch and Blogger's Dinner - January 23, 2021

CCL Cafe: Café, Chá e Lembranças
Experience, Review, Price Range, Menu and Offers

Claim to Fame: Creamy Salmon Soup 
Price range: Food - starts at PhP110, Drinks - starts at PhP80
Location: 910 Arnaiz Avenue, Brgy. San Lorenzo, Makati
Opening Hours: 9AM to 8PM (Monday to Sunday)



I’m a sucker for cafes so I think this cozy and IG-worthy corner of Makati is perfect for coffee and tea gatherings or even a break from WFH setup!
CCL CAFÉ is located at 910 A. Arnaiz ave., Makati (in front of The Residences at Greenbelt). 

CCL or “Café, Chá e Lembranças” (Portuguese) translates “coffee, tea & memories”. Mr. Nikko Baluyot, the CEO and Founder of CCL CAFÉ, aims to provide a beautiful place for everyone to create beautiful memories in. 

I’d say they were able to achieve that as CCL Cafe is a dreamy place to be in. It’s cozy to be first date worthy, relaxed to be a barkada hangout and conducive to being a WFH or online school area. 



How to Get There: 
CCL Cafe is readily available on the Grab or Waze app ( https://goo.gl/maps/rUfQuSxSsNaxed2X7 ) . It is right across The Residences at Greenbelt, in between Salud and Consuelo Bldg and Design Studio. 


When you arrive at the building, you’ll see a gorgeous art installation and on the left is an aesthetic semi-spiral staircase! Go up (don’t forget to take a picture or two!) and you’ll see the Pinterest-like cafe (Yes, CCL Cafe is on the second floor, which is a plus for me!) Personally, I like staying at the upper levels of cafes – the view is usually better than the ground floor level and also it helps keep the hustle and bustle noise down. I can concentrate better and sometimes the overhead view inspires me better too haha! 

CCL Cafe has a fast internet connection and power outlets are readily available! Very convenient! 

Their restroom is gender neutral and read – a bidet and a shower! The lighting is pretty good too, so don’t hold back on those mirror selfies! 


Mr. Nikko Baluyot is an inspiring young entrepreneur who started his own company at the age of 23, and now that he is 26, he leads a multi-industrial corporation. 

I highly, highly recommend their Creamy Salmon Soup, which is Nikko’s own recipe!. He shared that he came up with this dish when he was trying to be healthier without sacrificing flavor. It’s perfect for those looking for a delicious and filling dish without breaking the bank and your diet! 

The generous serving is priced at just Php240! 


For the drinks, you will not regret trying their Caramel Macchiato!  (is this even a surprise that I am recommending this? LOL!)

CCL Cafe also offers a wide variety of coffee, frappes, milk teas and fruit teas.  


Here’s a copy of their menu as well!




Heads up though, there are limited parking spaces available but Astoria Greenbelt is near enough should you need additional parking space. 

Thank you, CCL Cafe team, for inviting me to your soft opening. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and your food (and serving size!) is worth every penny! I will surely be back to try out your other dishes! (Jan 23)

CCL cafe is located at 910 Arnaiz Avenue, Brgy. San Lorenzo, Makati.

Best Kept Secret of the South, the Too Much Chocolate Chip Cookie by the Fet Boys


You know that feeling when you taste something so good, you don't want to share it? 


That is how most people feel about Fet Boys Too Much Chocolate Chip Cookie, and why you probably haven't heard about them yet. 


The Fet Boys are twin brothers Karl and Kirk, with Kirk being the one who bakes all the time. The Too Much Chocolate Chip Cookie is his creation and it comes in GIANT and regular size. When I say it's a GIANT cookie, I mean it.



 

The Too Much Chocolate Chip Cookie is made of chocolate chip goodness, walnuts, and chunky chewy cookie all rolled into one. People who don't like too much sweetness will enjoy this because it's not too sweet either. The sweetness is just right that even diabetics can eat a piece of this.



If you would like to experience being hugged by a warm cookie, message the Fet Boys on their Facebook Page. If you're not ready to take in the giant version, order the regular version. Make sure you order at least a dozen because everyone who ordered only 6 pieces ordered another dozen after just one bite.




Pricelist: 




One of the things that I always look forward to is going out to eat with my friends, and we are always on the lookout for cool new places with good food. .



Just in time for our last get together, our favorite cookie place released their new menu for Group Meals! 





Group Meal for 4:
Group Meal for 6 (1500): 1 Onion Rings
2 Pinoy Sweet Style Spaghetti
3 2pcs Buttermilk Fried Chicken
6 pcs Iced Tea
12 1 Bite 2 Bite Cookies


Group Meal for 10 (2600): 3 Chips and Dip
3 2pcs Buttermilk Fried Chicken
4 Pinoy Sweet Style Spaghetti
10 pcs Iced Tea
.
.


Personally, I loved their Buttermilk Fried Chicken, it was so tasty and the portion was really large! I am also a fan of their Pinoy Sweet Style Spaghetti, it definitely captures the nostalgic taste of kiddie spaghetti. As for the chips and the onion rings, I also enjoyed them but I found the taste to be generic. They would be perfect partners to some booze, if Scouts Honor would ever offer alcoholic drinks! .
.

For the drinks, we got to try the House Blend Iced Tea and the Yakult Iced Tea. Both were super good and tasty, and this is coming from someone who does not really like iced tea.
.
.

For the dessert, of it is a given that the cookies are topnotch! I just wish the dessert would be a full size cookie instead of the Bite2Bite cookies. But thatś just my preference! .
.
I would still highly recommend the place as itś not just a food place, but you can also play games and take cute and instagram worthy pics with your barkada! .
.
You know where to go for your next get together!







I dont know about you, but lately I have been loving going out to Samgyupsal places and discovering the good ones. .

.
Which is how I found Okane Grill! . What's even better is that they will be hosting a feeding program, and in a way everyone who avails their Premium set will be part of it because they are taking 10% of the profits for the feeding program! .
.
It definitely makes me feel better and makes me feel that I am doing something good this early in the year! .
.
So please go ahead and visit Okane Grill, try out their Premium set and #EatGoodDoGood!
