"This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine."

After that delightful dinner at 10 Dove Street, my friends and I decided to check out the 3-week old garden cafe which is also nestled in the same location just a few steps away from the aforementioned quaint restaurant: Oakridge Garden Plaza Cafe. We just wanted to check out the place but the staff or the manager (huhu. idk, sorry-_-) invited us to come over and have a trip around so that we can also invite some other friends to visit this new attraction.

Oakridge Garden Plaza Cafe is open from Mon-Thurs: 4:00 P.M. - 10:00 P.M. and from Fri-Sun: 4:00 P.M - 11:00 P.M. This is a good place to enjoy a dining experience, the al fresco way. The candle lights are what making the place more romantic and relaxing. What's more? You can also enjoy a live band performance on the weekends. You can definitely have a wonderful time catching up with your fellows in this garden cafe. They have a selection of wines and some treats but it's not limited there! You can also enjoy foods from Pancake House (27% surcharge), Starbucks and 10 Dove Street (15% surcharge). I am definitely looking forward to chatting with my girl friends in this place.

To give you an idea of their menu, here are the price ranges of what they are currently offering:

Pancakes and Waffles

2 pcs. PHP 180 - PHP 250

3 pcs. PHP 220 - PHP 260

Sandwiches PHP 225 - PHP 365

Pies PHP 150 - PHP 175

Rolls PHP 130

Quiche PHP 150

Finger Food PHP 40 - PHP 90

Fresh Shakes PHP 70 - PHP 100

Ice Cream Shakes PHP 100

Chilled Juices PHP 64 - PHP 70

Beverages PHP 44 - PHP 150

A slice of cake from 10 Dove Street - PHP 92

We walked around like bosses.We were like the owners as there were no other diners at that moment. teehee:) Here are our pictures, enjoy!

"A Sweet Journey."

A sweet journey not just for the featured restaurant in this write-up but for my dear batchmates slash friends and me as well. May 21, 2014 marked our 2nd year as colleagues in a prestigious corporation. It is kinda awe-inspiring that we have been doing the same daily grind for the past two years that even I couldn't imagine how I was able to surpass every single day. Daammn, it's a whole lot of patience and perseverance yet also a whole lot of fun and a great learning. However, it wouldn't be all possible without the help and support of the wonderful people surrounding me. You know who you are! Thanks a lot! I truly love you all ♥ To my dear batchmates, we started from 12 and now we are down to 3. May we continue to support each other. Though we may have different and hectic schedules, may we always find time to catch up with what's going on with our lives. Let's make our journey sweeter and may the odds be ever in our favor. :)

As a post-anniversary celebration, we decided to eat out in one of the newest attractions in the metropolis which is currently on their soft opening. The New 10 Dove Street. This quaint cafe had its humble beginning in Sto. Niño Village, Banilad. Unfortunate as you may think, I wasn't able to visit the place (*sigh*) because I couldn't find the right time and the right people (pardon my excuses. HAHA). I am just so glad that they moved to a new location which is more accessible to the public. They are now located at Oakridge Business Park in Mandaue. It's a new location yet they promise to keep the same tradition. Sweet:)

They are open from Mon-Sun: 10:00 A.M. - 10:00 P.M. We went there at around 4 P.M. and I guess that is a good time to visit the place if you don't have any reservations. We stayed there for over 2 hours and there were more people coming over in the evening.

The Place.

I am truly, madly, deeply in love with the place. The vintage and classy decorations are simply adorable. The  cafe's country style is what making the place more homey. It's like breaking away from the city yet you're not actually moving away from it. Get it? Get it? HAHA. So, I've got a bunch of pictures for you guys:)
