Colobaba Cafe Philippines (卡乐巴巴）is now here in the Philippine to bring some color and vitamin boost in our lives.
 |
| Superfruit Tea 超级水果四季春茶, Cheesy Strawberry 奶盖草莓, Dragonfruit x Mango 火龙果芒果, Chocolate Souffle 可可舒芙蕾 and Full Mango Ice Flake 雪花冰 |
To be honest, we haven't dined-in for quite some time! But, upon discovering that Colobaba Cafe is now open near our workplace in Quezon City, we just couldn't resist making a quick stop to check it out.
So yes, Colobaba Cafe counts as our very first dine in for the year 2021. Colobaba Cafe originated from Taiwan and now has branches in Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, China and here in the Philippines.
It is well-known for its colorful fruit juice blends and IG-worthy interiors. We have to admit, we've busy with work and have lessened our blog entries but our love for food photography is still burning with passion as shown in our Instagram. Follow us there if you haven't already.
This is one cafe that opened amidst the COVID pandemic so naturally, its quite equipped with COVID safety apparatus.
There's more space here too. As we've noticed, every area is equipped with electrical sockets so its convenient for those who intend to use it as a work station.
To maximize social distancing, this is the place we've decided to crash in. Got to combine caution with comfort. So we enjoyed our chiq and cozy corner right here.
Drinks
We went here on an after-work afternoon so we had drinks and cool treats. But, Colobaba also serves meals.
Fruit Tea (巴巴水果茶)
 |
| ♥ Superfruit Tea 超级水果四季春茶 (138 php) |
A must-try is the Superfruit Tea 超级水果四季春茶! This fruit tea is a combination of 5 kinds of fruits: pineapple, watermelon, apple, calamansi and lime. The blend is so refreshing and balanced that you can distinctively taste each fruit component in every sip. Amazing!
Cheesy Foam (芝士巴巴)
The ♥ Cheesy Strawberry 奶盖草莓 (128 php) is hands down the best fresh strawberry drink we've had to date! We want to drink this again!!!
Yogurt Baba (酸奶巴巴)
 |
| ♥ Dragonfruit x Mango 火龙果芒果 (188 php) |
The iconic drink of Colobaba around the world is definitely its Yogurt Baba (酸奶巴巴) series. As you can see, it comes in three (3) layers: (1) Mango 芒果 (2) Yogurt 酸奶 then (3) Dragonfruit 火龙果. This my friends is the reason why we dropped by personally! You see the blend will mix together in a matter of minutes. So if you want to take this awesome and colorful bottle shot, you have to order this and capture it at once!
 |
| ♥ Dragonfruit x Mango 火龙果芒果 (188 php) |
If you wait a while, the layers will naturally blend together and look like this. If you have it delivered, this is what you'll see. As you can see, the dragonfruit is the most dominant color. As expected, it is also the flavor that stands out the most upon drinking.
Food
Souffle Series (舒芙蕾)
 |
| Chocolate Souffle 可可舒芙蕾 (168 php) |
We've missed souffle so much and was eager to have one again. Look at this beautiful Chocolate Souffle 可可舒芙蕾!
 | |
|
But upon taking a bite, we have to admit it wasn't as fluffy and jiggly as we expected. It was a bit dense and deflated. The taste though was really good. It was rich yet not too sweet. Still contemplating on whether we should give this another try... What do you think?
House Special
 |
| ♥ Full Mango Ice Flake 芒果雪花冰 (278 php) |
Full of happiness is what we felt in every spoonfull of the Full Mango Ice Flake 芒果雪花冰! We just couldn't help but keep on indulging on this one spoon after another.

Resorts World Manila Newport Mall is a haven for a world class casino, cinema theaters, botiques, bars and dining places. Because the place was quite distant from our place, we don't usually dine here. I recall my first time we've visited Newport Mall, we dined at Mr. Kurosawa and visited play around at the casino just for fun.
I'm sure you've all heard of Republiq Club. Well, just below it is the Cafe Republiq. From its outside, it looks intimidating isn't it?
I've always passed by Cafe Republiq and viewed it from the outside but its actually my first time to dine here. Perhaps, if it weren't for my uncle's birthday treat, I wouldn't have tried this place out. There is a bar with a showcase of bottle of wines at the end. The place was dimly lit with tall lampshades between black elegant couches and candle lights in each marbled table top. The interiors gave a cozy impression with European influence.
The Republiq Salad was delicious with thin slices of apples, chunks of gorgonola cheese, dried cranberries, bits of smoked bacon and almond dressed with apple vinaigrette. These was served with generous amount of fresh green romaine lettuces.
Main Dishes
The Beer Battered fish & chips, lemon tartar sauce & malt vinegar are large dory fillets. It was tender and juicy. It was pretty good especially with the tartar sauce and malt vinegar. We were served fries instead of chips because the chips was not available. Too bad we didn't get to try their chips.
Grill Specials
All the guys in the family obviously ordered the U.S. Angus Minute Steak (10 oz.). There was a mistake in our order though. The waiter delivered an extra U.S. Angus Minute Steak (10 oz.). Taking into consideration that the waiter might be ask to shoulder the mistaken order, my cousin told the waiter we'll just have it instead. So, we shared the extra order over all of us. The U.S. Angus Minute Steak was served hot of the grill. It was tender and juicy as the usual U.S. Angus beef steak should be.
I was the only one who preferred fish over meat. The Salmon Fillet was nothing special in taste. It was lightly seasoned and the texture was just right. I was unimpressed with the quality of the rice. As you can see, it was dry. I'm sure with their pricing, they could have afforded to provide for a better grade of rice.
Desserts
The Warm chocolate souffle cake with vanilla ice cream & chocolate ganache was delicious! The bitter sweet chocolate soufle cake goes well with the vanilla ice cream and chocolate ganache. I loved this the most!

Main Dishes
 |
| Master Chang's deep fried chicken secret spicy sauce & white sauce (385 php) |
We all agreed that this the Master Chang's deep fried chicken secret spicy sauce & white sauce was served in generous proportions. Thus, this is good for sharing. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was not very spicy. I think the sauce is black vinegar based. It was my first time to try fried chicken with that kind of sauce. It was worth the try.

| Beer Battered fish & chips, lemon tartar sauce & malt vinegar (310 php) |
 |
| U.S. beef Pot roast in mushroom sauce & soft mashed potatoes (380 php) |
The U.S. beef Pot roast in mushroom sauce & soft mashed potatoes was delicious. The soft, tender and juicy beef complemented with mushroom sauce was delightful to eat.
This is our first time to try a pot roast. Here in Manila, a roast beef is more common than a pot roast. While roast beef is cooked dry with sauce on the side, the pot roast is cooked in liquid.

| New York style cheesecake & homemade blueberry sauce (160 php) |
The New York style cheesecake & homemade blueberry sauce was pretty good. The taste and texture of the cheesecake was just right. The homemade blueberry sauce was nothing special though. I couldn't even tell what's different about it from the rest I've tried.
 |
| Apple crisp, caramel sauce, toasted almonds & ice cream (180 php) |
The Apple crisp, caramel sauce, toasted almonds & ice cream was okay. It was my first time to try this type of dessert and I didn't like it. It was too sweet for my taste because of the caramel sauce. I would have liked it more if it tasted more of cinnamon than being too sweet.
Drinks
 |
| Lemonade |
For drinks, I ordered Lemonade. It was pretty good. It had the natural sweetness and tanginess of fresh lemons. Not too bland nor was it too sweetened.
 |
| Cappuccino |
After dinner, we each had a cup of their Cappuccino while chatting with each other. I was disappointed with their Cappuccino. I'm not even sure if its brewed.
Since its my uncle's birthday, we were all entertained by the enthusiastic and cheerful birthday song of the waiter while presenting a slice of birthday cake lighted up with birthday candle sparklers. The complimentary cake was Newyork Cheesecake same as the once we previously ate but without the blueberry syrup. Their effort was pretty noteworthy don't you think?

Cafe Republiq's ambiance makes it a great hang out with family and friends in between shopping or partying. Although the grilled selection at Cafe Republiq is good and reasonably priced. But, there is nothing special in them either. Although, their serving size is generous for the non-grilled selections, their prices are still expensive. Overall, Cafe Republiq is worth the try when you're in the area and you're willing to shell out some cash just to try their food.
