It's official! Rainy season is now here! So, what does it mean?
Very simple! It means lesser sunshine and more bed weather. Good news for you, sleepyhead! Well, not only that, it's also Back-to-School season in the Philippines! How's your first day, kiddo? Did you wear your new shoes? Let me guess, perhaps you didn't attend the class because it was suspended due to downpour. Am I right?
No doubt, you did surely thank the rain for that. I can't blame you, this weather really makes us lazy and stay in bed all day. I can say, I'm really not a certified Pluviophile or a lover of rain. Mostly because of the flood and heavy traffic. I'd rather choose to be a forever Heliophile or someone who finds joy and peace of mind during sunny days.
Tell you what, I don't wanna be hypocrite. Although I don't totally ĺove this season, I'm sure there are things we often like to do on a rainy day. I remember Bob Marley's quote, "some people feel the rain, others just get wet". It's really a choice, either you appreciate it or defy it.
Like a normal person, I'd often sleep all day, eat porridge, watch Netflix series and drink hot coffee on rainy afternoons. I enjoy these things and I find it very comfy. How about you? What are the things or fun activities you do during wet season? Can you give some examples?
Every time I grumble about sudden heavy rainfall I always try to see the benefits or good sides of it. Like our beloved farmers, for sure they need it to speed up the growth of their seedlings. Thus, If I were you I would be grateful because without it there's no good quality rice or vegetables to buy at the market. Okay, more rain please!
"I'm singin' in the rain. Just singin' in the rain. What a glorious feeling. I'm happy again."
Thank you Sir Gene Kelly! Aside from oversleeping like Sleeping Beauty, we can't deny that come rain or shine, we also love 'food tripping', others call it 'food hopping'. Whether we're stuck in the rain or traffic jam, we often find this effective way to brighten our mood.
Speaking of, I have a delicious news for you! Literally and figuratively yummy! Listen foodies, if you're looking for somewhere new to eat this season or latest chill out place for students. Check out this new resto in E. Rodriguez, Quezon City.
Let me introduce the Unicorn Tea & Bistro!
You're always welcome here! Well, unfortunately they don't sell unicorns but they have mouthwatering pastries, breakfast favorites, salads, soups, sandwiches, pasta and main courses. What else? Goodbye Starbucks for now because you can also buy cool frappés, latte and brewed tea. Wow! Perfect for tea party, right?
Pork Chop N' Corn- 210 Pesos(roughly 4 US Dollars)
"cheeky meaty grilled pork chop with buttered corn kernels served with coleslaw & plain rice"
Oops! Sorry, am I making you hungry? No worries, it's so easy to go here especially if you're studying in TUA(Trinity University of Asia). It's just in front of your school, classmates. Located exactly at The Capital Towers, Unit G05A Athens Bldg, E. Rodriguez Sr. Ave, Quezon City, 1102. If still not familiar? Just simply Grab it or use Google Maps.
Baby Back Ribs- 270 Pesos(roughly 5 US Dollars)
"a thick slab of tender, juicy pork ribs slow cooked for 3.5 hours and grilled to perfection"
Oh my! See this holy yummy baby back ribs? Don't forget to try this when you visit Unicorn Tea & Bistro. Honestly, it's really affordable and cheaper compared to other restaurants that also serve this kind of main course, price ranges generally from P350 to P500. What are you waiting for?
Garlic Parmesan Wings- 175 Pesos(roughly 3.50 US Dollars)
"8pcs deep fried chicken wings with parmesan cheese and crunchy garlic bits"
This is so tasty! These wings will help you fly high. No, just kidding! Anyhow, this is one of their best sellers and actually one of my favorites. It's really easy to eat, no need to use spoon and fork. Just dunk in the wing into the sauce and eat, perfecto! Students will surely love this starter on chitchat sessions.
The irresistible Flat Lay
It was more than a month ago when I and one of my friends(also a former colleague) went to this 'talk of the town' bistro in E. Rodriguez. We were invited to attend the 'Blogger's Day' by our friend(also a former colleague) who happens to be the manager of Unicorn Tea & Bistro. Thankfully, we didn't drain our wallet because that was also my first x-deal as a blogger. In exchange, I'm creating this blog post. Yippee! I'm almost done. Pretty much, I can say now that I'm already experiencing the so-called 'The Perks of Being a Blogger' and sometimes a wallflower. To God be the glory!
Aglio Olio- 180 Pesos(roughly 3.60 US Dollars)
"shrimp, sun-dried tomato, garlic, parmesan cheese on spaghetti"
Not only to support my friend and to blog but I went there simply because I'd like to eat new food. Great thing! This bistro didn't disappoint me because I was able to try Aglio Olio, a traditional Italian pasta dish. It was my first time and it was really good. I can say that it wasn't hard for me to love it right away because I'm a true-blue pasta lover. I can eat pesto, carbonara and lasagne all day.
Candied Bacon Green Salad- 165 Pesos(roughly 3.30 US Dollars)
"candied bacon, fresh green vegs, mango"
Another first time is the candied bacon green salad. Every time we hear the word 'salad', we often think of leafy vegetables like lettuce. Promise, this won't turn you into a goat. This kind of salad is sweet because of the mango chunks and it has bacon too. I can say, it's perfect for all ages.
Green Tea Matcha- Regular 165 Pesos(roughly 3.30 US Dollars), Grand 180 Pesos(roughly 3.60 US Dollars)
I love chocolates and strawberries but when it comes to frappe, nothing can beat Matcha. I'm officially missing this drink. Can someone send this to me?
Cute cupcake for you!
Food for the Gods
It's true my friend, don't judge the book by its cover. This dessert won't entice you until you taste it. Very delish!
Eat well for less than 300 Pesos(roughly 6 US Dollars)
Whether you're a millennial or a hypebeast. I tell you, this bistro will also go viral on social media. Whether you're a student or an employee. I tell you, this is a new hangout spot in the metro. Whether it's raining or it's shining. I tell you, you need to eat and this place is worth a try. Dishes are affordable and it's very clean. Unicorn Tea & Bistro is ready to serve you!
I will surely be back here for 'Tea Experience'.
