Because of Trevor I made an effort to visit this cafe because of the owners response to the Cold Cottage Pie review on Tripadvisor. I liked the fact that the owners stood up for themselves.

I can only wish they can expand the place to accommodate more customers. And I wish they would add meat adobo to the menu. Everyone should try it there. Well-deserved...
