Your'e not from San Pablo if you haven't been to Sampaloc Lake. Well, it is a famous place for jogging, "tambayan" and for "isaw." Everyone knows this place! Anyway in this area, there is a hidden cafe or better say a restaurant which I always wonder how goes it look like inside. Then one day, we need a place to pass our time with my cousin and Cafe Lago is there not moving and here we go!
I a m actually surprised about the place,I really thought it was a small place. Well its not that big but enough space for, I think, more or less 20 people. Half of the place is an open garden area. Its really a nice place, with the touch of hanging plants, unique color lamps, a "duyan", a seat made from bamboo, build stones on a wall and just simple tables and chairs. I really love the place. Its quiet and relaxing. Having two windows viewing San Pablo's infamous Sampaloc Lake. PERFECT!
Let us taste the food! Well, me and my cousin at that time had just some coffee and a hot chocolate (tablea). We also had sandwiches. I love the hot chocolate! The sandwich is ok. Uhm, when my highschool friends had a foodtrip reunited :) We tried FERN (PACO) SALAD and its really delicious! I mean Karen is not really into vegetables but she liked it :) I really love the crunch of fern! Some salted egg, onion and tomatoes. WINNER!
I asked some of my friends who already knew the place for some recommendation. Here are the list of food:
Suman sa Lihia with Coco Jam
Sinigang sa Miso
Fern (Paco) SAlad
Cream Dory in Oyster sauce
Buttered Chicken
Kalderetang Baka
Lengua in Mushroom Sauce
Fried Halohalo
Mais con Yelo
If you are wondering about the prices of the food, I took some picture from menu. (Sorry if it is not properly done hehehe)
Cafe Lago is open during WEEKENDS 7am-10pm and WEEKDAYS 10am-9pm. It easy to spot in Sampaloc Lake. It is just before "Ang Tahanan ni Aling Meding" (a hotel). Cafe Lago exudes charm, relaxation and yumyumyum!!!!! ;)
