Popular among the older generations, UCC has lately been drawing the young market as well.

UCC Mentore, known for their high-end coffees
UCC hadn’t updated its menu since 2000, resulting to people having to choose from its incredibly long list of dishes. However, this year, UCC streamlined its menu options by keeping some of the originals and adding some new ones. Here are a few of our picks from UCC’s newly-curated menu:
–
Mentore Clubhouse Sandwich (P320)
Chicken cutlet smothered with sauce that has just the right consistency, sandwiched between the bread pieces which are soft on the inside yet crusty on the outside. The generous amount of the ingredients like tomatoes, lettuce and egg, are also a delish addition.
–
Ginger Pork Steak (P370)
If you have an appetite, you will love this. The flavor of ginger is not too overwhelming, and the thick meat is very filling. The steamed vegetables on the side are fresh and soft. If you value quantity, this Ginger Pork Steak is for you.

Mango Sour Yogurt Smoothies (P180), Mocha Truffle (P250), Dark Caramel (P220)
