With the urge to see my auntie at work (and the suggestion of my mom to see her in her working atmosphere), we went to Contis' Bakeshop and Restaurant in Greenbelt 3.
{Yes, I know that yesterday's post was also in Greenbelt, but this happened after Christmas, not before.}
Disclaimer: I'm posting my true experiences here, and not just "sucking up" to the restaurant just because my auntie work's there. Just saying that this is the truth. We don't want conspiracies, don't we?
I ordered Tapa from their "All Day Brunch" section of the menu, while my mom and my sister ordered some Lasagna and a Clubhouse Sandwich respectively.
* Tapa - Usually marinated fried pork is what I imagine "Tapa" is.
The tapa was good! It was a great match with their atchara (I think this is pickled papaya). It was also served with vinegar, but I prefer not to eat the tapa with the vinegar. However, the scrambled egg was the showstopper! I really was lost in the flavor of the egg that I don't even recognize the other ingredients used besides the egg. As always, no Filipino breakfast is complete without garlic rice.

My mom said that her lasagna was kinda salty, because of the cheese covering the lasagna. As always, my sister was not disappointed, and nor was I (she offered me some) on the clubhouse.
Our auntie also gave us complimentary slices of cake (ain't she nice?)! I got my favorite, Turtle Pie, while my mom had some sort of peach cake and my sister got a Blueberry Cheesecake.
The Turtle Pie. It was absolutely... wonderful. It was a thick layer of chocolate before some sort of salty caramel before the crust. It was also topped with walnuts. Just like the Daim chocolate I had in Sweden, the slight saltiness and the decadent sweetness of the cake mixed together very well. It's just absolutely wonderful, and you just need to taste it yourself to share my joy.
Overall, our experience here in Contis' was grand. Additionally, Contis' offers an extensive range of pastries (from sweet to savory things) cakes, and savory dishes. From all the cake shops in the Philippines that I've been, I have never tasted cakes as great as Contis' have. I would surely, 100% come again.
