"Cooking with LOVE provides good food for the SOUL"
Manila has been famous not only because of the beautiful places but also because of our unique style of cooking.
Fast food, Buffet restaurant, and cafes are coming out like mushrooms. everywhere in the country, Some people dine in fast food thinking that they save money.
For me, I still miss my mom's homecooked meal. I can say that home cooked meal is still the best.
During my #tkmadventure in Quezon City. I found this new cafe named 5 Loaves & 2 Fish located in GF The Rock, Holy Spirit Drive. The owner who thinks that providing good food that are cooked from the heart not only provide food for the tummy but also for the soul.
The interior and design of the cafe gives a comfy feeling. It's like your home away from home.This place is best if you want to treat yourself to good food, chill out with family or friends or if you just want to have your "me" time.
Why is the cafe named 5 Loaves and 2 Fish?
the named 5 Loaves & 2 fish was inspired by the Bible verse Mark 6:41
"Jesus took the 5 loaves and 2 fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them.Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, He kept giving the bread to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. He also divided the fish for everyone to share."
- Mark 6:41
