While Cinderella sings along with the chirping of birds to the tune of her dreams, Chef Baba Benedicto dreamt of a restaurant backdropped with memories of her childhood. Now, in the quaint village of Salcedo and on the ground floor of Three Place came about a restaurant, which honors the name of her father, Nono.<\/p>\n

Nono’s<\/strong> at Salcedo is a charming mid-century modern home-inspired\u00a0cafe with a warm vibe, born out of Chef Baba’s desire of bringing her comfort food recipes for everyone to taste. With lights resembling bubbles floating above to reflect on the soft hues adorning its walls, Nono’s seemed to want to draw its customers to its embrace and bring them home.<\/p>\n

Nono’s serves comfort food roused from Chef Baba’s favorite dishes and snacks during her childhood in the United States and, later on, in the Philippines. With food inspired by her family \u2013 her dad, her mom, and even her yaya\u00a0<\/em>(nursemaid) \u2013 surely a lot of personal feelings are invested in each plate and cup they serve.<\/p>\n

For breakfast, you can start with a hot cup of Flat White<\/strong> to blanket you during the rainy season. With a touch of exquisite bitterness that lingers pleasantly in the mouth, their coffee made from Australian beans is surely a must-try for lovers of the brew.<\/p>\n
