  • Wilde in Makati (CLOSED): A premium milk tea café in Manila
  • Updated as of January 18, 2019: This restaurant is CLOSED.

    Milk teas are blessings in the form of beverages especially because they’re the perfect thirst quenchers for all seasons. They’re not only delicious, but they are also healthy– thanks to the nutrients we get from the fusion of milk and tea. These flavorful refreshments though, are usually in a grab-and-go concept but thanks to Wilde, a cozy milk tea place in Makati, since we can already enjoy our milk tea more comfortable than ever.

    Wilde was formerly Writers Block which offers coffee cocktails, but it has recently changed its concept to offer premium milk tea now. Named after writer/poet Oscar Wilde, this milk tea place seeks to elevate the milk tea experience in the Philippines by creating a café that highlights milk teas as primary drinks.

    Mango Green Tea (Php 130) and Strawberry Matcha(Php 160) in take-out cups

    The tea that Wilde uses for their beverages are sourced from other countries such as Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Taiwan. According to the owners, they are hoping to increase the demand of tea leaves which may encourage local farmers to grow tea. They wanted to support local farms by using locally-grown tea leaves, like how they use local coffee beans in the much-loved neighborhood café Local Edition.

    Their milk teas use soy milk as alternative to dairy milk so that vegans and lactose intolerant ones can enjoy their cup of tea. Apart from their thirst-quenchers, they also serve snacks such as grilled cheese sandwiches, among others, to complement their drinks. For their place, Wilde has a cozy space that you’ll love to go to spend your me-time over a cup of tea and some good snack.

    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.
