Lifestyle: DC Super Heroes Cafe

Themed cafes and restaurants seem to be a thing nowadays but there is definitely one that  takes the Kyrptonite inspired cake -and its the newly opened DC Super Heroes Cafe! 

Finally had the time to visit one Thursday morning after shift. 

Since the mall just opened (its located on the 4th floor of the SM Fashion Hall) we were the first customers there. We sent word in advance that we would be taking photos and told the staff when we got there as well and they just let Paul shoot away, while I took videos for my Instagram stories. 

There's really a lot to see and geek over. The ambiance and design of the restaurant is just top notch! From the super hero themed murals, stained glass windows, life sized statues to the many drool inducing merchandise (some for sale). Even the comfort room is IG stories worthy, from its wall to wall covered murals of villains like the Joker and Poison Ivy. 

So this is what Paul and I ordered: 

The Belly Buster (P380.00)

Inspired by the big belly, one of the biggest fast food chains in the DC Universe. The fastfood establishment has appeared in numerous comic book titles and stories.

The burger comes with thick fries and is served with two kinds of dips. Paul is a big burger person and while I thought that the burger looked smaller in reality than in the picture, Paul said it was heavy and gave it a thumbs up. 

Baked Pepperoni Ziti (P380.00) -which is inspired from The Flash

I'm a pizza and pasta girl and their baked ziti was just so flavorful and surprisingly also very heavy. Now if you know me, you would know I'm a very picky eater so I didn't mind the jalapenos and the pureed capers-which Paul gladly took off my plate and he liked them very much. (Another reason why Paul and I make such a good team :P) 

Deep Cacao Milk Chocolate Smoothie (P190.00)

Feel the brooding mystery of Gotham City, a rich milk and chocolate smoothie with fresh cacao and deep dark chocolate topped with our signature whipped cream. 

We really liked this drink, I didn't know that it had pearls though, and being the picky eater that I am, didn't care for those either but other than that. I would definitely order this again and I think its one of their best sellers since I saw a lot of orders on the counter. 

I would probably try one of their iced teas or juices next time. Paul didn't really feel like having a smoothie and I didn't let him have a cocktail, so he just stuck with water. (maybe next time, Mamoy :P)

The place was quickly filled with customers, a section was even reserved for a children's party. So yes, if your kid is a big DC fan (and if you have the budget) this would definitely be a memorable place for a birthday party. 

Customers came in all ages, shapes and sizes. Older gentlemen in a meeting, kids with their parents, and the curious middle aged ladies who were also taking a lot of instagrammable pictures (I guess I would fall in that category?) 

Even if Paul and I were the first customers there and we had the place to ourselves for some time, we weren't able to fully explore the place :( and pretty soon it was already filled with customers (it got busy very fast) and its not like you can ask the lady sitting by the Wonder Woman mural to move so you can take a picture right?

DC Super Heroes Cafe was a great restaurant themed experience. Its a must visit if you are a DC fan, especially since there are a lot of small Easter eggs scattered throughout the restaurant, which you will just point at and be thrilled you were able to recognize it. 

Its an ideal place for a date, especially if you are both geeks. Its also a great place to hang out with friends after walking around the mall.

The Project Pie Experience

I've already said it before I'm no foodie for a number of reasons, for one I am very picky when it comes to food. I'm a creature of habit who likes to eat the same things over and over and over again to the dismay of my husband who always complains at my lack of daring when it comes to trying out different food. Second reason why I can't be a foodie and blog about food and new restaurants is because, well we don't have the budget to keep on going to new restaurants. 

So this is indeed a rare food/restaurant blog post but I just couldn't resist! 

Project Pie just opened in front of our office in Eastwood City and I've been seeing a LOT of photos of the food (pizza) from this place on Instagram and as I am a pizza kind of girl, so it was a no brainer to try it out! 

Waiting. Project Pie opens at 10AM and I get out at 9AM so Paul and I had to wait for an hour before the store opened and it was worth it! :) Took these photos to pass the time. 

Coz they like it cold. I guess Paul is happy coz they serve beer at Project Pie and it's not just local beer but imported beer as well. 

Choose your weapon. Different ingredients lined up and available for you to choose from for your pizza. 

Project Pie is not like your ordinary pizza place since you also go there (pay for) the experience of making your own pizza! You know how it is when you order a certain pizza flavor and take out the ingredients you don't like in the pizza? I do coz I do that a lot but in Project Pie no need to do that since you get to choose all the ingredients you want for the pizza. 

This super friendly staff at Project Pie was telling us (and showing us) the step by step process of making your pizza! 

The oven. Yup! It's really, really hot!
