  • Tsokolateria in Tagaytay: Offering Sweet and Savory Chocolate Delights
  • Tsokolateria, located in The Boutique Bed and Breakfast in Tagaytay, is not only famous for its superb view of Taal Lake but also for its unique menu that utilizes tablea (native Filipino chocolate) as the main ingredient.

    This specialty cafe is famous for infusing chocolate into their dishes–be it savory or sweet–to create stunning plates that are as delicious as they look.

    For a comforting starter, the Tsokolate Ah! (Php 195) is a rich hot choco drink made from locally sourced cacao tablea that’s perfect for Tagaytay’s cool weather.

    If you’re looking for something heartier, the Tablea Champorado (Php 390/590) is a nice sweet-savory native chocolate porridge with options to pair it with a medley of toppings such as tuyo (dried fish) and bacon.

    One of Tsokolateria’s classics is the Tablea Churros Waffle (Php 290). The perfectly cooked chocolate waffles come with a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup and a side of honey and of course, more chocolate!

    These sweet treats can be enjoyed at any time of the day, not just for breakfast.

    On the savory side, the Salpicao and Sriracha (Php 450) combines garlic-infused beef with a kick of sriracha, complemented by chocolate-infused elements for a surprising fusion of spicy and sweet flavors. It is served with salad and scrambled eggs that makes for a hearty entree. The Truffle Bacon Lechon Carbonara (Php 490), on the other hand, takes traditional carbonara to the next level by added a copious amount of toppings such as lechon bacon and poached egg infused with truffle oil and a hint of cacao for an earthy depth.

    While the classic tablea always hits the spot, Tsokolateria also has other exciting blends such as Dulce de Leche (Php 260) and Tostadong Yema (Php 240) worth trying.

    While most of their dishes feature chocolate as the centerpiece of the dish, there are also items in their menu that feature a more subsided chocolate flavor by the addition of chocolate syrup or powder.

    At present, you can find also Tsokolateria branches in Makati, BGC, Boracay, and Baguio.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
