Once upon a time, I was an employee working in Makati. It was an environment unlike any other, imagine department by department, floor by floor, building by building filled with people being busy with work just as you are. And, the only time you can consider from all that during your work day is your meal breaks. When you've been thinking all-day, you'd want to go to a place where you can just let your senses become your guide. That is why I loved food courts just like Tower Cafe.
