My First Food Blog / A Taste of MoonLeaf tea

Just to give everyone an insight in my blog, when i decided to write a blog i told myself that i will start it from my past travels and so as of the moment what you can see in my blog were from my travels in the past, the present is still in queue. and for the meantime i will stop writing about my travels in the past to give way to the entries that i need to write first, it's  about one of my favorite things to do. "Foods". :P

I'm not a fan of milk tea's, knowing the growth of the business in the Philippines this year. I've seen shops whenever I went to Mall and other places but i haven't tried it even once until a blogger friend invited me to an event that was organized by open rice, the event gathered 12 bloggers (newbies was welcome and that's me) to tried moonleaf's tea and wrote reviews afterwards.

Moon leaf is a franchising business they operated 28 branches the biggest is located in Maginhawa st., in Katipunan (the location for the event) and another in Makati, they also had branches in Indonesia, Thailand and Germany.

It's Facade

Moonleaf had their unique way with regard to their tea's, they brewed it in their store. All of the products mainly tea's were directly exported from Taiwan, one of the tea products in the world.

well organize

Moonleaf's wants to foster/ build a community "Tambayan" type for their target customers mainly students they also wanted to make milk tea as an experienced for everyone. They value minimalist type of operation and focuses on the excellent quality of their drinks.

Upon seeing the cool and comfortable place of Moonleaf what i felt was the ambiance is good for everyone,  it has a place for those who wanted to chit-chat, smoke and turn their Laptops on and vice versa with a piece of milk tea on their tables.

My suggestion is the place needs a bigger space to accommodate its' customers and also, they  need to refurnished their tables and chairs.  Having said this, the management informed us that this year they will make a major renovations for their stores. With this, customers will definitely feel the community that they want to feel whenever they want to have their cup of milk tea.

Having seen all the photos posted here on my blog I must say Moonleaf was able to accomplished all the thoughts that they want for their shop.

A good quality of service will welcome all their customers in Moonleaf, everyone needn't wait for too long for their orders to be placed and for them to taste. Staffs were nice and always wears a smile on their face and ready to help all the customers with their needs with their orders.

busy xa

on queue

And the best part of the day is knowing what moonleaf has to offer for their customers of course milk tea and the likes.

The price of milk tea ranges from P 45- P55 for Basic tea's,  P50 - P75 pesos for Milk tea's, P50 - P75 for fruit  and for the add-ons aditional P10 pesos for Milk, Nata, Pearls, Pudding and for Aloe Vera additional P15 pesos.

a choice of yours

sweet red velvet cup cakes, who can't resist?

Milk tea's (Hakka, White Taro and Winter Melon)

As a first timers we tried their best sellers namely Hakka, Winter Melon and White Taro, we passed the milk tea's to ourselves to taste the difference amongst the three. Of course the three had differences, I ordered Hakka, nata and pearl are in perfect blend with the milk tea and you really can tell that you're drinking a tea (lasang-lasa ang tea) i tastes good, the sweetness of the tea is just right. I'd enjoyed the tea.  (pero ang gusto ko sana yung d ko malalasahan yung tea hehehe). Nata and Pearls are soft and sweet. :P

My Hakka :)

I also tried their red velvet cupcake, it was freshly baked and tasty actually one isn't enough hihi. :)

my Hakka and red velvet cup cake :)

Kim ordered winter melon, light and not as sweet as Hakka and mas lasang-lasa ang tea pwedeng-pwede sa Mama ko na mahilig sa tea. :)

Jorge ordered White Taro with pearls and pudding, smooth, sweet and well blended (walang latak ng powder) masarap din yung pudding, amongst the three what i liked the most is the white taro secondly my Hakka and third is the winter melon. 

After all what matters was how you enjoyed your day with your choice of milk tea. :)

the face of the satisfied customer

And that's my POV in Moonleaf's tea even though I'm not a fan of milk tea's this experienced help me to realized that i wanna try another Milk tea from different stores to distinguish which one is the best.

A sunny afternoon in Capones Island

As a continuation of our tour in Zambales see my previous post, were now heading in the next island which is the..

Capones Island

sea travel from camara island to capones took us 25 minutes,. Halos lahat kami ay hindi nakapag sunblock that day except kay mhaan at kay Fritz kaya imagine ang kulay namin after the trip super negra to the highest and maximum level ngipin na lang ang maputi.. chos! hihi..

lakbay ulit to capones

stolen?

nadaanan namin

malapit na kami

eto na malapit na kaming bumaba.

:)

We arrived in the island after 25 minutes and as soon as we get off and step on the sand we cant help ourselves but admire the beauty of Capones the beach, hills, rocks and sand were all good. We wasted no time and took photos of it and ourselves too.

feel the serenity of Capones

love

the rocks

And that's what Capones has to offer, everyone who will visit the place will surely had an unforgettable memories and experience towards the place. we didn't experience going in the lighthouse because the boatmen told us that it is risky to be there in time that we visited the place (malakas ang alon). and so we didn't pursue.
Instead we make the most of our stay in Capones.

ambilis nila oh. nahuli kami ni Mich

Ang sarap kumain sa tabi ng dagat habang naka-kamay, ang malamig na ihip ng hangin at ang tunog ng hampas ng tubig sa dagat, yung mga panahong ganito ang nakakamiss at nakaka gaan ng loob parang makakalimutan mo ang problema mo kahit sandali.

thanks to you Capones!

Continuously Anawangin..
