Cafe Bola

It took us some time to get a place where we can eat after the Lady Gaga concert. Good thing Cafe Bola is just around Araneta Coliseum and the crowd was almost gone. We had our very late dinner at quarter to twelve midnight. Got so little time to eat and chat cos the resto will be closing soon and we were sleepy as well.


We just ordered some pasta dishes and a dessert we can share.


Vanjee's choice ...

...penne in garlic-olive oil + tuna + summer vegetables

A healthy option and it's really good. Downside, serving size was small and not worth the price. Vanjee can do this dish and probably much much better tasting.

Jellybean's choice ...

...penne + baby crab fat + fish roe + asparagus

Originally, they use spaghetti for this dish but I opted for penne. Again, serving size is small. I could get a better deal with Tsoko Nut for the same dish and at half the price. The only thing I liked about this dish was the asparagus. They were chopped really small so I can enjoy its crunchiness without worrying about my braces.

...the bola flan

Yet another disappointment. Vanjee chose this one cause she was craving for some leche flan. But then, there's something wrong with the consistency of the flan. Personally, I didn't like it and let Vanj finished the whole thing.


This was a not so good first impression at Cafe Bola considering that we were really tired and hungry and we simply picked those with (!) and (♥) on the menu because they said these were must try! and good for the ♥. Oh well. Now I'm having second thoughts if this place deserve a second chance.
