I was looking for a place to study and came across this coffee house at Ortigas. 

OVERVIEW:

Subspace Coffee House is located at Grand Emerald Tower in Ortigas. Its exact address is Unit 103, GF Grand Emerald Tower, F. Ortigas Jr. Road, Ortigas Center, 1606 Pasig. This place is walking distance from Robinson's Galleria Mall.

Not only that, this coffee house also plays K-pop songs. All throughout my stay in the store only K-pop songs were played and they also sell some K-pop merchandise like posters and pins. Cool! (:

SERVICE:

The barista were nice but they are not as friendly as the barista of other coffee shops. They, however, are willing to help ever customer anyway.

FOODIES:

The coffee shop offers traditional coffee products but they have their own products as well like purple potato latte, peanut butter latte, etc. I tried their Peanut Butter Latte which tasted weird at first but as I continue to drink it I eventually liked its taste.

Also, unlike most coffee shops, they serve milk shakes and milk teas. All in one store actually. Of course, they serve cakes, donuts sandwiches and waffles for hungry customers too. Here's a copy of their menu and best sellers (I failed to have good shots though, sorry!).

I'll definitely study here again - quiet, calm and cozy. I actually have my spot. (: When I go back in this place I'll try their milk shake and red velvet cake...

So for foodies and K-Pop fanatics out there this place is indeed a must visit place. (:

Even though I reside in Cainta, I haven’t been to City Golf Ortigas neither dine at Locale Gastrobar. Since I have been reading reviews about the venue I decided to celebrate my birthday with 2 of my good friends and co-intern at Locale Gastrobar.

OVERVIEW:

This is located at City Golf Compound, Julia Vargas Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig. For commuters, from Megamall, ride an fx going to Angono FLOODWAY and drop at City Golf compound (right after Home Depot and in front of Valle Verde III gate). From Ayala, take an fx going to Antipolo or Tikling then tell the driver to drop you at the overpass of Julia Vargas Street (that is before Mom and Tina’s in C5, SM Hypermarket and Tiendesitas). Then ride another fx to Megamall then alight the fx at City Golf compound. For private vehicles, from Ayala take the C5 road and turn left at Julia Vargas street. You will find the compound at your right side. If you’re from Antipolo, take the road going to Tiendesitas then turn right at Julia Vargas street. Again, the compound is at the right. If you are from Megamall area, take the Julia Vargas Street. City Golf compound is just after home depot and in front of Valle Verde 3 gate. For those taking a private vehicle, this place has limited parking lot. You can also park in the home depot area. 

Relaxed atmosphere, comfortable seats and elegant looking bar and restaurant describe this gastropub. You may mistakenly think that this place is for high end class men but this is actually a casual dining restaurant and they have price worthy food products. 

SERVICE:

I arrived at the place quite early (or at least early for party time) so I do not have much competition with the servers and they have been very generous to entertain u for our requests.

FOODIES:

One of my friends have read reviews about the place and he want to try the Truffle Pizza however I wanted to try the 3 Cheese Pizza so we decided to order both. Aside from that we also ordered for the Angus Beef Meatballs and Truffle Fries as well. 

The Truffle Fries is ok. The truffle taste is not very distinct though.

This one is sooo good (and very photogenic too) - very meaty and flavorful. Definitely a must try!!!

These pizza were so delicious. Both pizzas are good complimentary with wines. The 3 cheese pizza was heavenly. I love cheese and I super love this pizza. On the other hand, truffle pizza worth all the praises it received in the internet.  It really taste very good plus it has a generous amount of truffles. Love both of this pizzas.

We had a great time eating their food - very delicious indeed. Plus, this is indeed a great place to bond with friends. I’ll definitely go back here, next time probably I’ll bring my parents with me.
