TF’s Secret
Everyone keeps a secret. But some secrets need to be shared. Like this great place I was tasked to photograph for the newspaper we publish.
I’m sure you all know Fanny Serrano. He’s a well-known celebrity makeup artists in the country. He enhances the beautiful faces of movie celebrities such as Sharon Cuneta, Lorna Tolentino, Amy Austria and many others. But did you know TF (as Fanny Serrano is fondly called) has a secret?
It’s not a new line of beauty product, no. It’s Secret Cafe — a coffee shop that, in the beginning, was intended for the husbands or boyfriends of the clients of Fanny Serrano Beauty Salon. He wanted them to be comfortable while waiting for their beloved have their hair or makeup done. But word travels fast. Soon, the secret nook beside his salon is no longer a secret. According to TF it seems his clients were impressed with the food and service of Secret Cafe.
Unknown to many of us, TF loves to experiment with food. Through the help of his very resourceful chef, Henry Ranas, he is able to fulfill his food ideas for the restaurant. He wants Secret Cafe to be known not just as a place that serves good food but healthy as well. Some of the food in the menu that’s becoming popular are the Unagi Sandwich, Pinoy Shawarma, and the pan de sal creations (Panlonto, with longganisa, tomato and egg; Pansarto, with sardines, tomato and egg; Pancorto, with corned beef, tomato and egg; and Panchito, with chicken, tomato and egg). Here, take a look at some of Secret Cafe’s offering:
The Squash Okoy (squash-shrimp fritters) is served with vinegar and lots of garlic. It tastes better than the usual okoy and is more healthier because flour has been replaced by squash. And the Pinoy Shawarma… it’s filled with veggies and really tastes Pinoy (filled with adobo or chicken liver)! If you’ve tasted unagi sushi or any Japanese food cooked with unagi (Japanese term for eel), you will also love Unagi Sandwich. It has a creamy taste and goes well with the whoele wheat bread. Try the Sayote Shake, too. You’ll be surprised! You won’t even think it’s sayote.
What is good about Secret Cafe is the creativity exhibited in the food itself. Most of what the restaurant serve are original creations and, in a way, the recipes are unknown to diners. That is why TF chose to name his dining haven “Secret Cafe.” Although prices of the food are a little higher for the pocket of the ordinary Pinoy.
Secret Cafe does not only boost of its menu. TF is a fan of the art deco era. He deemed it as the perfect look and feel for Secret Cafe. The earth-toned walls is teeming with art deco paintings and the Tiffany chairs go very well with them.
Experience Secret Cafe, located along Scout Rallos in Tomas Morato, Quezon City. It’s right beside Fanny Serrano Beauty Salon.
I think this secret cafe was already featured in Mel and Joey. Food really looks tasty, hopefully we’ll be able to try this on one this days.
Congrats on your new theme! ganda

Salve: Welcome back, VF. Malamang nga kilala ko yun!

Good day! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My website goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thanks!
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
I love your wp web template, wherever do you down load it through?
Thanks for your marvelous posting! I genuinely enjoyed reading it, you may be a great author.I will make certain to bookmark your blog and definitely will come back in the future. I want to encourage that you continue your great work, have a nice holiday weekend!

Howdy! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I truly enjoy reading through your posts. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same subjects? Thanks a lot!
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content for yourself? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome blog!

Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any suggestions?
Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Hi there are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you require any coding knowledge to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Together with everything which appears to be developing within this particular subject material, many of your perspectives are rather exciting. Nonetheless, I beg your pardon, but I can not subscribe to your entire plan, all be it refreshing none the less. It seems to everyone that your remarks are generally not completely justified and in fact you are generally your self not really thoroughly convinced of the point. In any case I did appreciate reading it.
Perfectly indited subject matter, appreciate it for selective information.
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My blog is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my visitors would certainly benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Regards!
Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after reading through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back often!
