Sun Café

From what I have seen when passing by outside and on social media, it could not compare when I got to the innermost of this cafe. The center with its 4 mirror wall, dried flower decors at each side and bespoke overhead chandelier, was just pure AESTHETIC.

Every corner even the second floor CR (that you have to go past an office to reach) was simply pretty!

But of course that is not the be all, end all. We went here for the food and drinks after all.

We ordered:

Chami - too saucy and spicy for our liking, suffice to say, we had way better elsewhere.
Tempura - deep fried 3 shrimps and veggies, onion, middle of sliced potato was hard, and green sticks of I don't know what those were. The side salad was but a little amount. It would have been great if there were more salad like in the pic, and would even gladly pay higher if needed. (A full serving bowl of salad is too much for me, that is why I prefer dishes with just a side of it.)
Matcha oreo - sweetness definitely overpowers any rice-yness of the matcha. Wouldn't order it again, perhaps would try their yogurts next time.
Rose mocktail - first tasted like fragrant soap. But as I had more sips, the syrupy sweetness became more apparent. It turned out to be my favorite of the 4 after all!

Don't get me wrong, they were all good, pretty decent. For the price of about php 850 total, worth it.

Plant based (soy and almond milk if I remember correctly) available for additional 30.

Servers were nice and courteous. But sometimes as they were being too watchful or nakabantay, it felt pretty nakakailang or awkward. But I get it, fine dining feels, so they are just being super attentive.

There are many customers during our time of visit (some overstaying with a laptop and one coffee lol). This is no small cafe, you can sit at the front, near the cakes, or in the middle, or even the innermost, which is a bit hidden.

The downside here is, I expected they would have free wifi as almost all cafes we have been to offers it, but sadly none when we asked.

The tissues are plain, no printed name of the cafe, but it is alright, well I just noticed! Just kinda expected that as it seems they pay attention to detail and branding.

I think they are animal friendly, as the pair seated beside us had a cat (out the box), and they they were playing with her. As an animal lover, well it felt heart warming watching that scene. So if you are an allergic Karen, better dine elsewhere than make a scene about furs, lol.

If you brought a car, well we know this street is narrow and illegal parking ain't tolerated, but I am pretty sure you can find plenty of parking in Lucky China Mall.

MUST VISIT IN BINONDO!!!
