DEAR JOE: VISTA MALL MALOLOS COFFEE, FRUIT SHAKES AND PASTRY PARADISE

ABBEY: Once you enter Dear Joe, it feels like you've been transported to a patio shaded by the surrounding plants, creating a very homey atmosphere.

I ordered their mango drink, and the sweetness of the fruit's aroma filled my nose as I approached the counter. It didn't disappoint; it was sweet, cold, and had just the right amount of sourness.

In addition to their drinks, Dear Joe also offers cakes, cronuts, brownies, and muffins. 

My curiosity was piqued by the wax-sealed envelope on the wall. Apparently, you can send snail mail right from Dear Joe. How nice! You can enjoy the cafe experience, write about it, and send your thoughts to your friends.

DEAR JOE: VISTA MALL MALOLOS COFFEE, FRUIT SHAKES AND PASTRY PARADISE

WILL: I am astounded by the café scene in Manila today. There are many new players offering a variety of coffees and drinks to their diners. One of the cafés that caught my attention is Dear Joe.

The ambiance of the surroundings is quite homely. It feels as if you are visiting a friend's house. They also have a unique concept of writing and sending letters. They provide you with everything you need: cards, envelopes, and even free postage for your letters all around the Philippines.

Now, let's talk about their drinks. I went there to try their fruit smoothies, and it seems like they excel in selecting the finest fruits for their customers. I made sure to check if they had added sugar to my dragon fruit drink, and they confirmed that they didn't. It's all-natural.

Dear Joe is a truly unique café. If you're looking for a place to relax, make sure to visit Dear Joe and support local businesses!

Discover Red's Fried Chicken: A Crispy Adventure Supporting a New Business in the Philippines

ABBEY: I really want to try Red’s Fried Chicken not only because I’m craving for chicken but also to support the business of our friend. We opted for thigh and leg buckets but both of them has original flavors only and the latter is sold out. So we got the flavoured wings. 

For Php 699 we have 30 pieces of wings in these sauces: butter, garlic parmesan, honey-glazed, salted egg, and Sriracha. Perfect for dinner along with friends. 

The business chat replies quickly and ensure that our order is correct. The meat is tender and cooked just right. I liked the sriracha for the heat and garlic parmesan for indulgence without guilt. Hahaha.

Discover Red's Fried Chicken: A Crispy Adventure Supporting a New Business in the Philippines

WILL: Abbey is a chicken lover, but due to the recent steep increase in chicken prices in Singapore, we've been buying chicken less frequently for our meals, even when dining out. This is the primary reason we treated ourselves to fried chicken during our vacation in the Philippines.

We opted for Red's Chicken, which is owned by one of our schoolmates. Supporting local businesses is something we take pleasure in.

So, how was it?

• Price Point: A set of 30 pieces of flavored fried chicken for only Php699 is quite affordable, especially for larger groups.
• Communication: The communication regarding payment and delivery was straightforward and efficient.
• Taste: The chicken was wonderfully crispy, and the flavors were satisfying, leaving you craving for more.

We wholeheartedly recommend it! We hope that both the quality and price will remain consistent, despite the ongoing trend of rising inflation.
