Restaurant of Choice (ROC) in UP Diliman

The Restaurant of Choice (ROC) in UP Diliman at the Bahay ng Alumni is located inside the University of the Philippines campus. It is a good alternative to the Chocolate Kiss Cafe because it it less crowded and noisy. On my first visit there I ordered one of the Chef's Specials, Grilled Porkchops With Marsala Cream.

A hearty lunch meal

The serving is huge and the ingredients are of good quality. I was quite full by the time I finished. Unfortunately, the taste was too bland for me. The sauce was so creamy, I could not taste the Marsala wine at all.

Next time I will try another dish. I do intend to return to the Restaurant of Choice (ROC) because the place has a nice and casual ambiance so its worth trying out the next time I find myself looking for a good meal in the UP Diliman campus.

Trigo Breads and Deli inside U.P. Diliman

I was at the University of the Philippines Diliman campus last month and I came across this advertisement at the Ang Bahay ng Alumni Building. Since I was craving a good cup of cold coffee, I went inside.

Actually, I was confused at first because I couldn't find the place right away. You have to go inside the Art Circle shop - the entrance to Trigo Breads and Deli is inside.

I almost missed the entrance at first!

Decor was quiet and homey

Hazelnut Capuccino

I was not there for very long and I only had one glass of iced coffee which, if I remember right was hazelnut cappuccino. It was quite good and I look forward to having a nice cup of coffee there again. They also have cakes and other stuff to eat but I don't know what they are like since I haven't tried them yet.
