A Wooden Tray of Joy, Manila’s Hidden Cafe Gem

#manilaguide Tucked away in a quiet corner of Manila, I found a small cafe that truly surprised me. I ordered a bento set and it came served in the most charming wooden tray. From the crispy croquettes to the creamy potato salad and tangy kimchi, every bite had its own story. I felt like I was being served comfort food from home—with a touch of Japanese and Korean flavors. What made this experience even better was the peaceful ambiance. There were soft tunes in the background, handwritten menu cards, and the kind of decor that makes you want to stay for hours. If you're ever in Manila and need a little escape with a filling, cozy meal—this cafe is your go-to!
