It was one of those days when my friend, Renz, and I surrender to those occasional cravings for good food. Given the limited time in our hands, Renz took me to Secret Recipes at the 4th level of Shangri-La Plaza mall for dinner.
Secret Recipes at Shangri-La Plaza Mall
Secret Recipes recently opened at the mall judging from its fresh look and predominantly red and white interior. Food photos decorated their walls just enough to make your mouth water. It’s a restaurant cafe serving a variety of Asian menu.

My first Belgian Waffle with caramel and chocolate syrup treat after a year. No coffee, just water to wash down sugar and a 38-degree fever. I have Mayan to thank for this yummy treat at Starbucks Gateway Mall last week.

Mang Inasal at SM Mall of Asia
This could be one of the very few places in the Philippines where there is no rice shortage. You won’t find mile-long lines of people waiting for their NFA rice portion but hungry mouths to feed.
