We stopped by Kobe, Japan and made sure to visit the UCC Museum.
The train ride was a bit longer but definitely not so boring because somehow it became an instant tour 😁
Check out the video and see for yourselves what's inside the UCC Museum.
A free coffee tasting activity was included as well. Afterwards, we went to their cafe to end the day.
I can't remember exactly what we ordered in their cafe but i can still recall how happy we were when we took a sip. Indeed, the price justifies the taste 🤣 The dessert complements the coffee too.
For coffee lovers out there, if you still have time, drop by the UCC Museum and make sure to order a cup of coffee afterwards!
I'm so happy! My poem received recognition (in a sense) since it was chosen and posted/published in another site!
Thank you very much Poetry Potion (Link to site) for acknowledging my work. I know how simple my poem is but not everyone can relate to how and what I feel when I wrote it last week (19 May 2022).
To cut it short, I am encouraging everyone to read my short poem "Maybe it will rain" published by Poetry Potion.
The last 2 years passed in a blur. To the point that I still feel like it's 2020. Seemed that every time that I try moving on to other aspects in my life, I will encounter resistance in variable degrees that left me powerless to do more.
A bit sad knowing that you were stucked and no opportunities for improvement came by.
I feel that I was not productive for the past 2 years but perhaps my lack of passion also contributed to my demerits. Coupled with my dissatisfaction to other issues that I have no control with.
As it will take a lot of words to explain further, let's keep it light for now.
Fast forward to today, I just know that what I've been through made me enlightened.
To put it simply, after the rainy days, here comes the sun.
There is a desire to find a new purpose, to start again and to build again.
Better visit during non-peak hours if you do not want to waste time waiting for your turn.
The resto also offer salad, salmon and other desserts or breads.
The operation of the restaurant felt like a canteen set-up and their food was comparable to home-cooked meals.
We wanted to try their 'famous' Swedish meatballs so we ordered 12 pieces 😁
I was also curious what do they meant with 'Nordic' drink which turned out to be sparkling flavored water. I recommend raspberry to be safe although I like them all!
What surprised me was their chocolate cake! Deliciously sweet and melts in your mouth! If I can only order for take away (sigh)... perfect with coffee ☕
We also ordered chicken wings which tasted so-so. Got mushroom soup as well and I like their fries too!
For pomodoro pasta, they offer it with or without vegan meatballs. We had it plain (no meatballs) since we already ordered 12 pieces of meatballs.
Prices are not cheap but not too expensive.
We skipped ordering coffee since we wanted to try it at the Ikea's Swedish Cafe.
However, I recommend their drinks since they offer it in unlimited serving. Imagine sitting in a corner of their dining area, carefully drinking a cup of coffee and enjoying a slice of chocolate cake! (I will do this next time!)
We finished our lunch with bulging bellies and smiles.
Swedish Café
After lunch, we went directly to Ikea's Swedish Cafe for a cup of coffee.
It took awhile before we found our way to the cafe because there was no other exit or shortcut.
So what's special here?
Of course, coffee!
We wanted to have a taste of PATAR beans (arabica).
We skipped dessert because we already had it at the restaurant.
They offer breads and other cakes too.
So for coffee, we ordered Americano and Cappuccino. My sister wanted to try their tea, unfortunately, it was not available at that time so she got water instead 😅
Their coffee did not disappoint! Plus points for the soft couches and nice ambiance despite seeing a lot of people passing by going upstairs (seats were near the escalator).
I already imagined myself sitting with friends and catching-up over a cup of coffee and dessert or bread🙃
Would be nice if they will expand their cafe!
The price range is reasonable too! You can get a good and quality cup of coffee for below 120php.
The coffee serving was not bottomless or unlimited but it does not mean that we will not go back!
