I've tried Moonleaf Tea Shop at a stall before.  But, it's the first time I'm visiting their store.  

It has a garage-type front and within it is the store.  It has an al fresco area where I noticed a lot of students with laptops and cigarettes are stationed.


The ambiance inside is more to my liking.  The air-conditioning is very good and they have free WiFi.

They also sell cookies and cakes.  The set up is similar to upscale coffee shops like CBTL and Starbucks.
 

Maple Milk Tea

While some of my companions tried their best-selling Wintermelon Milk Tea, I tried their new limited edition Maple Milk Tea which they just launched this December.  I initially requested to have mine at 25% sweetness level but I'm told it would be lacking in taste so it has to be at least 50% or more.  It was pretty good because it's a whole new experience although the sweetness kind of grows on you as you drink.  I'm told it's not just maple syrup and milk tea.  Their secret recipe includes more spices.  

I've asked my friends who tried both the Wintermelon Milk Tea and Maple Milk Tea at 100% sweetness level which is better.  Some liked the Wintermelon Milk Tea more saying the Maple Milk Tea is sweeter.  While, some said it's vice versa lol.  So I guess, you have to try it out for yourself and decide.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Moonleaf Tea Shop in Maginhawa is the kind of place I want to chill while surfing the net.  Too bad it's far from home.   If I'm in the area, I'd drop by and try more of their drinks cause I think I still have to find one that soothes my taste which is less sweet. 

A few months ago, I got to visit UP Diliman Campus for the second time.  I didn't get to roam around the area during my first visit because back then I was focused for my college entrance exam.  From what I've heard, there are a lot of great places to eat within the area.  I've took the chance to try Restaurant-of-Choice located at the Ang Bahay ng Alumni.


It has an alfresco area with patio umbrella tables.  While the indoor area can be divided into two portions.  There is a casual dining area by the entrance while the other portion is behind a curtain for diners who prefer to have some privacy.  


Food

Pasta

♥ Quattro Funghi (166 php)

Though I'm not a fan of cream pasta, I was enticed by the mushrooms so I ordered the Quattro Funghi.  It is a pasta with four types of mushroom melange, garlic cream and linguine.  The garlic subtleties are quite evident in the cream but it was just right that it didn't over power the mushrooms. The pasta is cooked al dente so it was pleasurable to eat.

Burgers

ROC Burger (158 php)

My friend had the100% pure beef burger with aioli, lettuce, tomatoes between sesame buns.  He claims it was pretty good.  It was served with slightly salted french fries.

Margherita (228 php)

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
ROC (Restaurant-of-Choice) is a great choice of food when at UP Diliman Campus.  The food is of quality and the price is just right.
