It is always a pleasure to be enveloped\u00a0in a warm embrace, more so if\u00a0it is succeeded by your mom drawing you inside your dining\u00a0area to be served with sumptuous home-cooked meals that are sure to treat you after a long day of work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cecil’s Cafe<\/strong>, one of the strings of restaurants along Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road<\/strong>, is a great representation of this home kitchen.<\/p>\n

\"\"The stacks of China and teacups on the shelf behind the counter are reminiscent of every home we know.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

With the cafe’s cozy appeal brought about by several blue Chinese ceramics lining up the shelf behind the counter, as well as the several framed photographs peppering their neutral walls, Cecil’s Cafe draws you in with\u00a0a kind of warmth and simplicity typically associated with Filipino homes.<\/p>\n

\"\"Each table is carefully designed\u00a0and prepped up for you and your family.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What’s more, they have a line of\u00a0Filipino and Chinese specialty dishes that will surely fill your tummies with\u00a0a taste you\u00a0know you’ve been craving for so long!<\/p>\n

The star of\u00a0Cecil’s Cafe is their fresh spring rolls called Amoy Lumpia<\/strong>, named after a province in China\u00a0which is the present-day Xiamen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Amoy Lumpia may look like\u00a0a simple, hearty\u00a0dish, but\u00a0slice it in half, and you’ll be surprised with a healthy treat.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This spring roll was already being served back in the ’80s in one of the restaurants owned by Ms. Cecil\u2019s mother-in-law. When the family migrated to the US, the restaurant closed and so is the production of the beloved spring roll.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2011 when Cecil\u2019s Cafe was established, the famed spring roll made a comeback and has now become their best-selling dish on the menu with over 100 pieces sold every day! <\/span><\/p>\n

The Amoy Lumpia (Php 125)<\/strong> is\u00a0a hearty bite as\u00a0the owners believe\u00a0how one should eat their money\u2019s worth. Stuffed inside the lumpia wrappers are hand-shredded cabbage and carrots, lettuce, tofu, shrimp, and ground pork. It is drizzled with their special secret sauce, which is such a kiss to the palate in goodness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from their fresh spring roll, Cecil\u2019s menu also consists of Filipino\u00a0specialties like Kare-Kare (Php 275)<\/strong>\u00a0and Pancit<\/strong>\u00a0Palabok (Php 165)<\/strong> as well as American favorites. Since expats living in the area also dine in the restaurant,\u00a0Cecil’s\u00a0made sure to\u00a0include a wide range of choices for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

For catering needs, Cecil\u2019s provides their services to intimate gatherings where they set up the place, decoration, and food based on what the organizer provides. Unlike other catering services, the team leaves before the event starts.<\/span><\/p>\n
