It’s always fun to be around my college friends. I witnessed the growth
and maturity of our conversations. From homework and theses to household chores
and banking and from crushes to… well, more crushes (but older). Okay, perhaps
not all topics evolved to something more. But it has always been filled with
laughter and at times some “kilig” too. And a few weeks back, we all met to
celebrate our dear K’s birthday and shared some sweets at…
It has been a while since I last
visited Lucca. It was still crowded and the menu didn’t change so much. And
since it was packed, we opted to eat outside to avoid waiting for a table. But
to our dismay, the tables were sticky and stinky. R who has a sensitive nose
sure did not enjoy it. (And who would anyway?)
We decided to go for a slice of Hazelnut
Indulgence (PHP145), S’mores
Cookielato (PHP195) and Twix
Cookielato (PHP175). R also ordered a glass of Green
Tea Frappe (PHP145) while I got a cup of Cappuccino
(PHP115).
First served was the slice of hazelnut
indulgence and it had a weird rubbery or synthetic taste. We asked the server
to replace it with another slice as it tasted really off. And the replacement
slice tasted the same. We told the server that the weird taste was still there
but I guess she got frustrated with us and began to raise her voice. (Uh oh!) Anyway,
we soon discovered that it was the base that had a weird taste so the girls
just ate the creamy part of the cake.
As for our drinks, my cappuccino
is nothing fancy or extraordinary. Same is true for R’s green
tea. At least it was more refreshing than the Coffee Caramel I ordered
before.
I’ll definitely skip cakes
next time and just try the other cookielato flavors! Then again, the service
was off when we complained about the hazelnut cake.
Lucca is located at 5th Floor SM Megamall Fashion Hall,
Mandaluyong City.
