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.
