I found a fun place at SM Megamall recently, and it was too cool to pass up. I purposely brought my two kids there last month so they could enjoy not only the food but also the happy vibe. As it turned out, I was the one who enjoyed the most! DC Super Heroes Cafe is obviously for those who love Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and other fictional heroes that originated from DC Comics and DC Entertainment. I may not be very fond of watching movies but I loved comics as a child and

Dining at the cafe was both a gustatory delight and a feast for the eyes! Toys and collectibles were all around, they brought out my long-hybernating inner child. But more than just a toy and knick-knacks store, the place is also a "real" restaurant with several pages of an impressively made colorful menu covering mostly Western cuisines. An enjoyable lunch it was that my two kids and I had one Saturday.
Our orders:
Barbecue Chicken with Breakfast Cheese
Whoever gave birth to the idea of putting chicken and cheese together in one dish, I commend him. Who doesn't love those two anyway? Separately, barbecued chicken and melted cheese ooze awesome flavors and combining them results in a simple but amazing dish. My son ordered this and finished it together with a cup of steamed rice P50.). He was happy. I knew he would be!
Chicken fingers a la Negra, P350.
Anyone who knows me well also knows the fact that black is one of my favorite colors and it also applies to food. Needless to say, i got excited seeing black chicken fingers on the DC Super Heroes Cafe menu. It's served with a honey mustard sauce and a side of coleslaw. I also ordered Rice Pilaf (P60.) to go with it. Those "fingers" were delicious as they were lovely. There's a plastic Batman insignia right there among the pieces of chicken if you see it, and now I wonder if it was good for taking home. I regret not asking. There's no harm in trying!
Beef Kebab, P340.
These pieces of grilled beef Mediterrenean-style were yummy and filling, being served with both pita bread and steamed rice, topped with a dollop of butter. I love those spices that give Middle Eastern cuisine a distinct aroma and taste, though they could make the food cloying after a few spoonfulls.

Two thumbs up for all our orders! My kids and I had no complaints, we loved everything! I would want to go back to try their other offers, including the drinks and dessert, which look so appealing on the menu. We didn't order drinks on our first visit 'coz I decided that we would get milk tea after lunch. I hadn't had milk tea for over a week as we had just arrived from a vacation in the province the day before and I was really craving! Anyway, I recommend that you bring the whole family.
to DC Super Heroes Cafe. It's one great place for both
the young ones and the young once!
Happy eating!
