Where to Eat in Alabang – Brunch at Cafe Breton

Westgate Center is a lifestyle district in Alabang where a number of casual restaurants and cafes are located – one of them is Cafe Breton.

image

Serving breakfast as early as 7 in the morning, Cafe Breton is a place where expats and locals come together for their gourmet crepes, exquisite coffee, and all-day breakfast.

The contrasting wall colors, wooden furniture, and unique accent pieces add a country rustic charm that makes the cafe look timeless and inviting.

The focal point of this cafe is the kitchen where you can watch them prepare your food right in front of your very eyes.

True to their claim, they do have excellent coffee! Their cappuccino is rich in flavor with a smooth, velvety foam on top. I think it’s the ultimate morning pick-me-up.

Cafe Breton’s menu has an extensive breakfast selection that includes crepes, galettes, sandwiches, desserts, coffee and many more. Price ranges between 150 to 300 PHP per dish.

I may not be an early bird but I do love me some great brunch!

The combination of good customer service and pleasant dining experience made love Cafe Breton instantly. We’ll definitely come back here if we can.

Glamping at Ultrawinds Mountain Resort

image

For this year’s Valentine’s Day, I surprised my boyfriend with a glamping experience at Ultrawinds Mountain Resort.

image

In turn, he reciprocated my gesture by treating us to Ultrawinds’ Valentine’s dinner buffet. The food was sooo good that we kept getting seconds. I’ll talk more about this in a separate post.

image

Right after our dinner date, we retreated back to the campsite.

Thankfully, we got a free golf cart ride so we didn’t have to walk all the way from the restaurant.

image

It was exceptionally quiet when we got there that you could hear a pin drop.

image

The cool evening air was constantly blowing across the grounds.

So for some warmth, we requested to build a campfire. Their staff brought in a ginormous fire pan, some firewood and a box of matches to start the fire. They also brought a handheld LED light for us to use so we can still have some illumination even after the campfire goes out. Great service! 🙂

image

The campfire brought joy and new life to the cold, dark night. We made ourselves a few S’mores before hitting the sack.

image

I woke up early the next day when the bright morning sunlight warmed my side of the tent. I just had to enjoy the spectacular view before my morning shower.

image

For our accommodation, we had to walk a flight of stairs in order to use their communal shower and toilet facilities. Be warned: there are no heaters so gird your loins for the icy morning showers.

image

We made our own breakfast using the outdoor cookware we borrowed from our friends – Elai of PS 95:11 and Porsche of THEYANGONE.

image

There’s the manbear ready to devour his brunch. Hehe. 🙂

I have to be honest though… I was disappointed at first because, once again, I fell victim to another batch of artistically rendered images. The interior of the tent and the campsite didn’t look exactly like what was posted on their website. But once I got past that, it wasn’t so bad after all.

We had such an awesome time that didn’t even matter anymore.

For a truly memorable family get together, romantic rendezvous or company outing, I recommend glamping at Ultrawinds Mountain Resort. It’s a refreshing outdoor experience that everyone should try!

Safari Tent – 1099 PHP (peak season rate)
