I discovered this place maybe 3 years ago through Ms. Cathy. I like pasta and I also like trying new things even with food so this was an instant hit for me. Before Cafe Bola, I liked Cibo pastas. So when Ms. Cathy informed me that Cibo and Cafe Bola has the same owners, I did not have a second thought in trying out what Cafe Bola has to offer. I did not regret it and Cafe Bola even became one of my comfort food restaurants since then. (Along with Almon Marina, Bacolod Chicken Inasal, Thai in a Box and Old Spaghetti House.) I really like their camias shake. My favorite shake is green mango shake (and still is) and this shake doesn’t fail in comparison. There is a little pandan taste to it also. Well, that’s what I think…or taste.
Aside from the camias shake, they have other fruit shakes that is a must try also. These are the ones that I have tasted already- chico, pomelo, star apple, langka and watermelon. Because of this restaurant, I now concoct my own fruitshakes at home. I also make my own langka shake. Too bad, I don’t know anyone who has a camias tree. Maybe I should plant one.
Among the pasta dishes, my favorite is the tomato and basil pasta and the penne in cream with italian sausage. Yum! Their pandesal slives with dips is also a must try. I have tried the two dips- spicy bangus and the swamp cabbage with cheese dips- and I really liked them! The price of the food here are also cheaper than Cibo. They also have rice topped with bolas (meat balls) and a couple more dishes for the meat lover. Can’t wait to eat here again! I have eaten in their Greenbelt and Araneta branch.
