Date with Malen

It’s my hubby’s birthday and we’re heading Malen’s for food. Malen’s is a local restaurant in Noveleta, Cavite. The place is good. It has an ambience of the revolutional era of the first Cavite. There's a lot of old pictures hanging on the wall describing the god old Cavite and its cool people on the move, the Caviteños. While staring at the wall, pictures tell stories while your stomach is growling and waiting for the foods you ordered. At least they will tell you that it would be done for 20 minutes.

The foods were named astonishingly related to Filipino names (I guess). I’m not a legitimate caviteña but through the years of staying in here, those names sounded familiar to me. Like where in the world will you hear “Menudo Ricarte, Kare - Kare sa Katagalugan or Kaldereta ni Sakay”. At least it tastes good as well as its name.

Then here’s my favorite, the sweets that Malen has to offer. By the way, I always buy my birthday cake here. The price ranges from 450-900 Philippine peso. I had my blueberry cheesecake and a slice of scrumptious chocolate cake. I don’t remember how it cost but probably the blueberry cheesecake is around 180 Php. Hmmm…please correct me if I’m wrong….
