First Sip: Cafe MOH

There are only three things I consider for a coffee shop to be a worth going back to--good coffee, great ambiance to catch up with friends or to work and reliable internet connection. I often find myself putting the last two as top priority with my never ending battle to beat deadlines. And with my search for a place to work like a mad lady, I stumbled upon Cafe MOH at Ayala Malls the 30th. 

Hello, Cafe MOH.

MOH? What does that mean? Mocha Or Honey? Macchiato Over Hand? Okay, it doesn't make any sense. Apparently, it means Moment of Happiness. I didn't get much details on why it was named as such as I was in a rush to finish something for a client. 

I decided to order a cup of Chai Latte (PHP150) as I'm a sucker for this tea based drink. Sadly, they can't make Chai Chocolate which I'm addicted to. They do offer hot chocolate though for PHP150.

I was lucky to get the seat near the door as it had two available plugs for my laptop and phone. And as soon as I got the password to the internet, I started typing in all my ideas to meet my 6 p.m. deadline. My hot cup of Chai Latte was served within 10 minutes and I let it sit for a few minutes as I finished a paragraph. 

I took one big sip after taking a few snapshots and I was quite underwhelmed with the taste of my Chai Latte.

Though it had that tea and cinnamon taste, it was heavily masked by milk. It seemed like I was drinking milk which was accidentally spilled with chai tea concentrate.

However, I do appreciate that the place was conducive for work and the internet connection was reliable. Note though that Cafe MOH could get packed come 5 to 6 p.m. on weekdays so it's best to come early if you plan to drop by. 

Cafe MOH is located at 3rd Floor, Ayala Malls the 30th, Meralco Avenue, Pasig City.
