Cafe Inggo: A must-visit on Quezon Ave.

I pass by Sto. Domingo Church along Quezon Avenue in QC daily as I commute to and from work. And this cafe on one end of the church compound, I found very interesting and tempting, especially during this Christmas season (It's not over yet, right?) with all the attractive lighted lanterns outside. Cafe Inggo, to me, was irresistible, and one Saturday afternoon last November, I gave in to its calling, tagging along my eldest daughter. It was a pleasant first visit that warranted a second so I 
came back for lunch the following Saturday.
 It's charming inside Cafe Inggo, with its simple but sleek, clean interiors that render the place very homey and cosy. There are various books on the tables such as on art and religion. There is a long couch on one side of the cafe and there are throw pillows on it that made me want to lie down while reading the Fernando Amorsolo 
book that was on my table.

As for the food here's what I/we've had:

Pancit Guisado, P175.
I love pancit! It's my ultimate comfort food. I always order it in restaurants serving Pinoy food. But Cafe Inggo's pancit bihon floored me! I was surprised at how "loaded" it was! When I placed my order, the server told me their pancit was really special, with lots of toppings. And it's a lot indeed! There are two slabs of bagnet, a huge shrimp, slices of beef tapa, and as if those are not enough, there's also minced longganisa! Wow, that was really one special plate of 
pancit bihon. Very delectable and filling!

Buttered bread, P55.

Some slices of toast to go with my pancit.

Lucban Longganisa Meal, P200.
This was my daughter's and it delighted her. Longsilog and with two fried eggs at that. She asked for one scrambled egg and a sunny side up other. An order of all-day breakfast 
meal comes with brewed coffee.

Home-made Chicken Galantina, P220.
My lunch on the second visit and it was sooo good! This chicken dish was packed with flavor and it bawled me over. It's topped with lots of mushrooms and drizzled with a milky/creamy sauce. An order comes with a cup of steamed rice.



Matcha Frappe, P160.
This was my daughter's healthy drink and she commented that it's 
yummier here than in another cafe. 

Americano, P85.
Cafe Inggo serves good coffee, too! The server told me they use Italian beans and I loved it, 
I didn't even have to put sugar nor milk or cream.

New beginnings

It's a brand new year -- a time to start life anew. Let's leave 2017 behind, with all the mistakes,  failures and heartaches. We might have been troubled, wounded and discouraged, but God can make all things new! Let us forgive those who caused us pain, even if they didn't ask for it, and let God heal the scars. Let us surrender all to Him and trust Him to clean our slate and give us a new lease in life. Let us remember to pray at the start of each day, thank Him for the life that He gives us and ask for His wisdom and guidance in every thing that we are to do. When we retire at the end of the day, let us thank Him, too for all His provisions and protection for our family. Let us praise the Lord for He is always good, loving and merciful! Thank Him for this new year, for giving us, 
His children, new breath, new beginnings, new life. 
God bless us all.
