Philippines: Flavors and Food Crawl (2023)



Let's continue filling-in our tummy while visiting the old and new places around the city.


Cavite

Forresta Cafe

Location: Villar City, Salawag, Dasmariñas, Cavite

We visited during the soft opening of the cafe.  With lush landscape, the area is a very huge investment as a whole.  You'll understand why you'll be paying out for one of the most expensive cup of coffee in the south.

Modern cafe, massive glass wall, remarkable hard wood tables - nice to have one in the Philippines.
