Kainan Au Gusto by Cafe Juanita - Kapitolyo

Brighten your day with sun and color.

I love dining out with friends.

These days, I usually go home from work, order something from a nearby store for dinner and retire for the day. Or, must I say, go online until it's way past my bedtime and attempt to retire for the day.

So, when I received my travel buddy's invite for an impromptu breakfast at Kapitolyo, I said yes immediately.

I've never been to Kapitolyo prior to this date and what best way to explore an area than with a friend who's a photographer, traveler, foodie and blogger rolled into one? My ultimate girl crush: Jaja :)

With Me Ultimate Girl Crush :)

Being the Pasig girl, Ja is familiar with Kapitolyo so she served as tour guide as well.

We entered what looked like a house from outside and found ourselves inside an enchanted place. (Haha!)

Kainan Au Gusto definitely has a lot to offer curious eyes. They had quite a collection. Old plates, lamps, anito, chairs, figurines, piano, bags...

And the feel, there's this 'feel' that sets it apart.

The irony of being very comfortable in a new place.

We were allowed to wander about like kids lost in a playground of history.

I have no photo of the food, I didn't find anything special with how it was presented or how it tastes. But to be fair, the place near my house where I buy my very cheap dinner almost everyday employ great cooks and it is going to be hard for other stores to compete. (I'll post something about them soon.) Besides, I don't care much about food when my eyes are full.

Food here is just a little higher than the normal carinderia price - except for beef - around P70, I think. Sorry, I can't really remember.

There are also quite a number of choices - if you come in around 9am. (We got there too early.)

With the choices, the price and the comfort, I'd say it's a qualified everyday breakfast place.
