Whitewall Coffee and Food Co. at Eton Centris Walk


Last August, I began to regularly go again to Sidcor Sunday Market after not visiting since last year. It was then that I discovered this now one-year-old (they marked their first year last September) cafe called Whitewall Coffee and Food Co. at Eton Centris Walk, just across the market and near Family Mart. I realized I hadn't been to Sidcor for a year prior to my visit in August because it was my first time 
to see this chic coffee place. 
I was surprised to see that walls at Whitewall were painted in black! The whole place is in black with just patches of white, making the interiors dark and sober. But who's complaining? Certainly not I. Black is my favorite color next to purple
It wasn't only the simple elegance of the place that could strike any newbie to Whitewall, even the food! I've gone there thrice -- once alone and then with different consorts. We all loved the food and drinks. 
What we've had:

Classic Carbonara, P170.
This was really, really good! Except that I don't like a fried egg on top of my carbonara. But the pasta was delicious, with al dente fettuccine and sauce that wasn't 
too creamy to the point of cloying.

Beef Tapa, P130.
This was for lunch on my first visit. The beef tapa was just the way I like it -- not saucy but not dry either, tender and not salty, just rightly seasoned. I was asked how I would like to have my fried egg and I said I wanted it scrambled. So scrambled it was, and fried to perfection -- not 
dry as my helper does at home...sigh.


Pork Tocino, P130.
I hadn't had tocino for quite sometime so I decided "tocilog" to be lunch on another occasion. I loved that the pork was cut up bite-sized and very tender. Some tocino tend to be too saccharine but this wasn't; the flavors -- sweetness and saltiness -- were just right. I had sunny side up egg this time and it was divine, with the orangey yolk (proof of good-quality egg) runny.
Whitewall Signature Clubhouse, P215.
My not-so-little boy loves clubhouse sandwich and I knew he would order it when I tagged him along. He did and was actually happy with it! I ate some of it and loved the thick slices of chicken breast and lots of greens and tomatoes.


Blue Chips with Spinach Artichoke Dip, P155.
This was a nice thing to have with sandwich. The dip was delicious and healthy, 
having spinach and artichoke.


Chocolate Fudge cake, P110.
Moist, chocolatey and not too sweet. Best with black coffee!


Iced Latte, double, P125.
This was pure bliss on a hot mid-day. Caffeine kick that refreshes!


Oreo Chip Cream, P165.
My son, who is an Oreo fan, loved this one. It satisfied his sweet tooth while offering 
a reprieve from the hotness of the day.

Cafe Latte, single, P115.
I love coffee at Whitewall. It's rich, full-bodied and strong, 
even with the added milk.

Cafe Americano, Single, P105.
I had dessert on one occasion (the chocolate fudge cake) and decided to have black coffee to pair it with. Whitewall has good Americano, I didn't need to add milk or cream to it.

What a gem Whitewall Coffee and Food Co. is, I must say, and "hidden" at that. I'm glad to discover it and make it my Sunday go-to place after buying what I need at the market. It's not just a nice spot for food and coffee, it's also cosy and quiet enough for some reading or studying. It's the perfect 
"tambay" or hangout place to bring family and friends. 
Visit Whitewall Coffee and Food Co., folks! 
Happy eating!
