Chocolate Fire

Chocolate Fire by its name serves all Belgian chocolate treats. From appetizer, sandwiches, drinks to dessert.  

What I find cute is they have this long glass counter where you can buy on-the-spot chocolate goodies.  Name it they have it - different flavors & variations of belgian chocolate.  From chocolate bars to potato chips, strawberries, cherries, gummy bears, dates, marshmallows, lollipops, frozen banana, they even have cornflakes & popcorn. Its awesome! :-)  The fact that I am not fond of chocolates, it tempted me to try and  proud to say I've been there twice!  For sure this is heaven for chocolate lovers!  The chocolate melts in your mouth - for me the dark chocolate goodies is worth it :-)

Oh they have non-chocolate sandwiches, pasta & coffee/tea in the menu for those who are allergic to chocolates :-)   There is also free wifi access.
  
The photos shown below are: cup of hot chocolate with mallows Php120 + Php20, brown cow float Php150, cheesecake around Php200.00, dipped pringles Php15 each, choc bar Php180/100 grams

SOMS Noodle House

I have been hearing about Soms for years - they said it's good food and cheap. Though be ready since it Al Fresco dining.

When we got there yes its the canteen-type of dining. You order at the counter, pay, you get a table number  and later they serve.  Its supposedly Thai food apparently it doesn't seem that way.  I think its been catered to Filipino taste buds. We didn't get to eat anything spicy. Though I am not complaining, the food is  still good.  Btw, you have 2 options to sit inside which has air conditioning or outside non-air con.

We paid Php500.00 for the order of Thai spring rolls, Shrimp Fried Rice and Pork with Garlic.

I am a spring roll lover, whenever I see spring rolls in the menu, I order it. I like Soms spring rolls - crunchy and crispy and the sauce is unique chili tomatoes (which I like). But my friend said, its like Lumpiang Shanghai. ha! ha!  true :-)

SOMS Noodle house is located at 5921 Alger St. Poblacion, Makati City. Tel No. +632 757.8079  (Its the 1st street if you'll be coming from Rockwell)   It's hard to find the place if you will look at the streets, but if you ask the people along the road, they all know where :-)
