Sometimes businessmen tell tall tales just to make a sale.
On one corner of the Good Year building where Alijis-bound PUJs stop to collect passengers, we asked amiably if walking to where the next 711 is, is doable. The barker said that taking a jeep would be a sound option for US (me and Carmela). He went on to add that there was once this girl, our size, who walked to get to this place and was found a little later on the pavement, unconscious from the heat of the sun. We intended to have a good time so we just agreed with him.
It was funny really as no sooner after the jeep left the stop that we found ourselves at 711 already. When we alit, we could still see the stoplight where we took the ride. Hahaha! Apparently, we've been had.
The Coffee Culture is located just before 711. It had me at first whiff!
I ordered cappuccino and allowed Carmela to surprise me with the bites options. When our orders came, it was an assortment of half of everything that the store had on display at the counter: revel bar, adobo and chorizo empanaditas, apple cinnamon (was it cake or pie???) and kalamansi-bundt cake. Finishing them off bide us time while waiting for our customer to pick up her order. I am not a fan of cinnamon so I sampled all but the pie and I wanted more. Maybe next time.
People came and went, especially the foreigners. However, the locals (like us) stayed for business meeting /paperwork/ picture-taking...lol.
