A visit at Missy Bon Bon Breadshop of Cagayan de Oro

During our last few days in Cagayan de Oro (CDO), the group started to seek on "Pasalubong" centers for our friends and families back in Manila. We visited the Monster Kitchen and the famous VjANDEP stores which are both located in Cagayan de Oro to buy unique items and foods that are especially made in CDO and other parts of Mindanao. But just when we thought that our "pasalubong" shopping spree were done and having an empty stomachs, we came across to this store with an interesting interiors and appealing menu. The store is named, Missy Bon Bon Breadshop.

I used the words appealing and interesting on describing this bread shop, simply because they used colors such as yellow, blue and brown on their interiors which is really eye-catching. Plus, not to mention their cute logo and the graphics/doodles drawn on their walls.

How to get there?

Just visit their store at LimKet Kai Center, Rosario Drive. LimKet Kai Center is a known shopping mall in Cagayan de Oro. Missy Bon Bon is located in the ground floor and the store opens as early as 7:00 am and closes at 10:30 pm. They also have a branch in Robinson CDO and Gaisano CDO. 

As we enter at Missy Bon Bon Breadshop, my eyes went wide and wild with the breads displayed on their entrance. They all looked so good and mouth watering! They were freshly baked and fluffy as I touched and pressed some of the displayed breads. Sorry, I just can't help pressing them. Lols. All of their breads were presented and packed in a presentable way. Maybe that's one of the reason why they have lots of patrons and now becoming the talk of the town in terms of food destination.

Just simply look at it... 

I want to taste them all!!!

Their menu is not only limited to breads and pastries. They serve foods on all type of meals of the day as they also offer rice meals, salads and pastas. Oh! I also forgot to mention that Missy Bon Bon also sells gelatos and milkshakes. See! They are not only ideal for breakfast, lunch and dinner... but also for snacks and desserts!

Their Gelatos!

I also noticed that they have a wide range of customers. I saw a group of young ladies eating here, a couple with laptops and lots of papers beside them (I guess they're working), shoppers of LimKet Kai, and travelers (which includes us). The place is cozy and well ventilated. Aside from that, Missy Bon Bon of Limket Kai Center also have a great lighting and because of that I find the place photogenic specially their glass walls wherein you can see the view outside of this store. It gives you a homey feeling and stress free vibe while eating. A perfect place to have a business lunch out, catch up dinner with friends and even a date with a special someone.

Amazing interiors! The 2 people on the left were really working hard.

Karen, are you taking photo of your food? or Bona?

Our group couldn't decide what to eat at first because of their wide varieties and all seems to taste delicious. In the end, none of us have the same order... Yup, we all have different orders. Some of us did tried their rice meals, some ordered pastas, and some tried their cakes and pancakes.

Carbonara (150 pesos)

Three Cheese Pasta (155 pesos)

Gladys and her Yema Pancake de Cagayan. (165 pesos)

Bangus Fritter (125 pesos)

Here's what I've ordered - Wild Honey Bacon. But instead of bread, I exchange it for a rice. (150 pesos)

Verdict. Rice meals and pastas were served hot, cakes in cool temperature and all of them were served presentably and taste really really great! Good job guys! We only have one problem with one of our ordered drink but it has been resolved quickly. 

Some of Missy Bon Bon's best sellers are Gelatos, Ensaymadas and their own version of Pastel. If you come to visit Cagayan de Oro, I recommend that you drop by at Missy Bon Bon Breadshop. It's up to you whether you'll visit them on early of the day or late at night as like I said their menu can serve any type of meal of the day.

Amici - Pasta! Pasta! Pasta! of Mckinley Hill, Taguig

Great pasta and gelato in one place. That's the best way to describe Amici. Me and my officemates visited the Taguig branch (Venice Piazza, Mckinley Hill) of this restaurant after the long and tiring day at the office. Amici is popular for its Italian cuisines which is from pasta to pizza and even their sweet and refreshing gelatos. Just a perfect getaway after work. Please bare with the photos below. I only used my camera phone for this entry (forgot again to bring my camera with me).  =]

It is not only the food that is great about this place, aside from the excellent service to match, Amici also provides a warm ambiance where people will really enjoy their dining experience. If you are looking for superb Italian food, I gladly recommend to visit Amici.

Sophisticated interior

This is not the first time we eat at Amici. On our first visit (I'm not yet a blogger back then) we only tried their pizzas and haven't tried to taste their pasta. So this time around, all we ordered was their different shades and flavors of pasta. But I promise to make another blog entry for their pizzas and gelatos the next time I dine here again.

love the taste of it with the dip on top :]
