One Magical Afternoon at The Rainbow Dreams Cafe

One rainy late afternoon, we decided to go out for a late lunch or maybe have a heavy snack somewhere not-too-far yet not-so-near and not-a-typical-kind-of restaurant. We have been seeing a lot of posts on Facebook about concept resto’s and we really like to visit one 😉

We found ourselves loitering around PhilCoa, a busy place within Quezon City in the Philippines. We’re trying to find the infamous Rainbow Dreams Café. It’s supposed to be located at #80 Maguinhawa St. Well, a good map would be a great help besides Waze 😉

Just minutes away from Quezon City Circle, or if you’re commuting, best is from PhilCoa, rent a tricycle and just say you’re going to #80 Maguinhawa St. and they’ll take you there for less than 20 pesos. A resident on the place told us that there are a lot of Food Park within the area, well, not a bad idea to go back one day and even without any plans, just drop by and see what happens 😉


On a quick research, The Rainbow Dreams Café is co-owned by Ms. Alyssa Valdez, an Ateneo Volleyball Superstar who is as of this writing is playing with the Philippine National Team along with
a lot of other Commercial Teams. The Café is inspired by the Unicorn and Ponies. The unicorn is a legendary creature that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a single large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead.

Well so much for that 😉 The place is so cool, so magical that they are allowing guests to wear pony clothes, and what’s really cute is you have to use their magic wand to call the attention of their crew for your orders 😊

We’ve tried their Chicken, and the Lemonade is so overwhelming, they are serving it on a monster jar and I personally as an Iced Tea-Gal, that’s a real plus plus 😉

We also tried their Carbonara with both Pink and Purple Pasta, aw, it is so delicious, they really hit the spot there. At first, we’re so hesitant to try it because of its color, but after you mix it with the sauce underneath, wow, it is not so pricey at all. Those bits of star bread on the sides will make you feel you’re somewhere else, somewhere out there 😉




Their Strawberry Shake is tremendous, in a good way ;-) If you're a proud owner of a sweet tooth, this is just made for you! You just can't get enough, the candies are all over and when the sugar hit you thirsty, you can sip the whole deal within a blink ;-)

Finally, the Pancakes. They might have prepared those with KIDS in mind as it is so sugary, I mean it’s sweet and all but I like my pancakes with nothing but a tasty syrup in it 😉 Though I could still recommend the pancake just because it is packed with a lot of chocolates 😉








We had a great meal, we’ve had a lot of fun all in all. We’ll definitely recommend this place to our friends of course. Be prepared though as there are ‘WAITING’ especially during late afternoons. Have your camera ready as you visit the place coz you’ll surely take a lot of photos while you’re at a one magical afternoon with the Rainbow Dreams Café. They’re open everyday from 12 noon until 9 PM 😉

Cheerio!

Mt. Maynuba in Tanay, Rizal: Our Couple’s Hike Through Clouds, Trails, and Eight Waterfalls

When my fiancée and I decided to take a break from the usual city routine, we found ourselves drawn to Mt. Maynuba—a mountain that isn’t the tallest in the Philippines, but one that offers a surprisingly complete hiking experience. Located in Tanay, this destination is well-known among hikers for its scenic trails, famous sea of clouds, and a unique bonus: eight waterfalls along the route. From the very start, we knew this hike would be something special—and it truly delivered. First Impressions and Getting There Coming from Metro Manila, the accessibility of Mt. Maynuba is one of its biggest advantages. It’s just a few hours away, making it perfect for a day hike or a quick weekend adventure. The jump-off point is in Barangay Cayabu, where we registered, paid the environmental fee, and secured a local guide (which is required). We immediately noticed how welcoming the locals were. The community plays a big role in maintaining the trail and guiding hikers, and that added a sense of saf...

The Greenery: Baliuag Bulacan, Philippines

I’ve been thinking about great places near the metro lately, and the first place that’ll come into mind up north is Bulacan. As to my research, Bulacan has a lot to offer as it is a historic place. In 1899, the historic Barasoain Church in Malolos was the birthplace of the First Constitutional Democracy in Asia.

According to The Greenery’s website, they are located at #80 Rio Vista Subdivision, Sabang 3006 Baliuag, Bulacan. The Greenery, a wedding events place is a hub for any special occasion.

The pavilion has a grand ballroom for an elegant setting. The lighthouse is located by the river for couples that like the water and a cool breeze f...

It’s not everyday that someone will crave for a seafood, though sometimes, you just can’t get enough when you started eating one especially when you are at a great seafood restaurant. This time, we indulge ourselves into one of arguably the most visited seafood restaurant in Dagupan in Pangasinan, Philippines; The Matutina’s and Gerry’s Seafood Haus and Restaurant.
