Happy Third at Cafe Juanita

Room mate and I recently celebrated our third anniversary. Before we left office I gave him two options--YakiMix, which is a Japanese buffet in Greenbelt and Cafe Juanita, a romantic little restaurant, about 45 minutes (traffic allowing) from our offices, which is in Makati.

30 minutes later, we were still in Makati and Room mate wanted to just eat in any restaurant along the way. But no, I wouldn't have it any other way. And so drove he did. Finally, we reached Cafe Juanita after what seemed like ten years. The old Cafe Juanita, which was closed of course. The guard advised us that it has moved to a new street, which is, thank God, very near the old one.

The new Cafe Juanita has moved along West Capitol Drive, smacked in the middle of Shunki Matsuo Japanese Hair Salon and Bahay ni Juan Restaurant. The new Cafe Juanita  has an East Asian theme, dominantly Thai but it retrained its ecclectic feel--lace covered chandeliers, flowing chair skirtings and the grand piano! But now, it also has a bigger space, high ceiling, multi levels (mezzanine, cafe level and backyard) AND cleaner restrooms at the back!

The food are still the same, most at least--and still as good!
