Beyond Green Tea

Eureka. Just like most remarkable scientific breakthroughs, C2 Classic Cuisine was an accidental discovery -- for me.

Mom and I breathe the Powerplant Mall every Sunday but we seldom go to the "side wing" of the second level. The "side wing", as I call it, is the tiangge area plus other dining establishments such as Sumosam, right across National Bookstore. One Sunday evening, after hearing Mass in the fourth floor, we decided to have our dinner in the mall. Since we had dined in all the restaurants in the ground level, we first took a tour of the mall until we could finally choose where to eat. And then, there it was, in orange and blue, the C2 restaurant.

Mom wasn't into Filipino food, but at that time, we had no choice because it was already 9:00 PM. I knew we made the right decision when, after finishing all our food, Mom said, "Naimas. Nabsug ak." (Delicious. I'm satisfied.)

Pinoy food with twist and style. C2 Classic Cuisine exceeded my expectations the moment I saw the menu. And don't believe the waiter when he says the food is good for two. It actually serves four!
Top: We ordered "light" food such as merienda for dinner. Pancit molo, bibingka souffle, buko pandan shake and puto bumbong shake.
Bottom: We literally closed the restaurant. Seen in the photo is Mom; the restaurant staff cleaning the place just in time for closing.

 Left: Mom in a semi-candid shot. She was posing for the camera when she got distracted by the waiter serving the rest of our order. Oh, that's the bibingka souffle -- sosyal na bibingka. C'est si bon.
Right: A death sentence. Puto bumbong shake. That's the classic carbohydrate-and-triglyceride-filled Filipino classic turned into a shake, topped with ube ice cream. I estimated the energy content to be 800 Calories.
