00:00Are you looking for Japan vibes while having coffee?
00:04We know a spot in Quezon City for that.
00:07The Coffee Dojo and the Mayilonga Girl star Andrea Del Rosario will join us in this Japanese coffee experience.
00:15Wow! Yummy!
00:22The reason why we had Coffee Dojo is because my friends and I really love coffee.
00:27The first time that we went to Japan, we fell in love with the concept that they have in their coffee shops.
00:33So we thought, why don't we bring it to the Philippines so that our coffee lovers here would experience.
00:40What we experienced during the time that we are sipping our coffee in Japan.
00:46That's the reason why we have cherry blossom outside.
00:49So that they can experience that they are sitting under a cherry blossom tree while having coffee.
00:57As you can see in the background, there's a view of a window where people are walking.
01:03So that's what we wanted to project there.
01:05In totality, we wanted to elevate the coffee experience of the customers.
01:10And at the same time, they can experience that they are really in Japan.
01:14Hello Food Explorers!
01:16This is Ms. Andrea Del Rosario.
01:18I am Margaret from Mayilonga Girl.
01:22You might be asking, before we shot Mayilonga Girl, we came from Japan.
01:29My family and I.
01:31And that's where we found the delicious coffee and pastries.
01:39And today, I'm so happy because I found this place.
01:43It's called Coffee Dojo.
01:46See guys, they have this.
01:51Look!
01:52Mochi Donut is inspired from Japan.
01:55So if we're going to compare the donuts that we have here in the Philippines to Mochi Donut.
02:01Totally different experience.
02:03Because Mochi Donut is chewy.
02:06And it's not like our regular donuts here in the Philippines.
02:11Wow! Thank you, Miss!
02:13Alright, what's this?
02:15This is Tokyo Banana.
02:17Inspired by Tokyo Banana bread from Japan.
02:20So it's a combination of banana milk and espresso with a taste of caramel sauce.
02:26Wow! See?
02:28She heard it.
02:29Banana, coffee, caramel.
02:31Three things that I really love so much.
02:33All in one drink.
02:35Wow! That's delicious!
02:39Mmm!
02:41Yummy!
02:44I can taste the banana, the caramel.
02:49I like this.
02:51Matcha Mochi.
02:59Guys, I like matcha.
03:01As a matter of fact, I brought a lot of matcha from Japan.
03:06When we came back.
03:08So, another favorite.
03:11It's so good.
03:12There's something about the texture.
03:14I love the softness compared to other donuts.
03:18Like a marshmallow donut.
03:21Because it's really that soft.
03:23It's really good.
03:25So our next drink is Fuji Latte.
03:28It's a bali latte.
03:29Milk and espresso.
03:30With Fuji cream on top.
03:33For Fuji cream, it's our own version of sea salt cream.
03:36So it has a hint of salt and sweet.
03:39Doesn't it look like Mt. Fuji?
03:42See? It's all snow.
03:45That's sea salt.
03:47I'm sure a lot of people will like this.
03:53Wow! Yummy!
03:55Mmm!
03:58Guys, I wish I can share this with you.
04:02It's so good.
04:06Our next drink is Butterbeer.
04:09It's inspired by the Harry Potter drink.
04:12It's a caramel flavor with Fuji cream on top.
04:17But it's non-alcoholic.
04:19Oh, I was gonna say.
04:20Guys, I don't drink.
04:22See? The best!
04:23Guys, I wish I can explain this.
04:26It's so good.
04:27It's like a soft drink.
04:30Like a float.
04:31And look at the froth.
04:33How do they make that?
04:35So this is matcha float.
04:37Matcha soda with ice cream on top.
04:40And then for the pastry, it's taiyaki.
04:44With dulce de leche filling.
04:48So, it's matcha.
04:51So, it's matcha float.
04:54Because you can taste the soft drinks,
04:56and the matcha, and the ice cream.
05:00Delicious!
05:01Now we try this.
05:03Let's see.
05:05Wow, look at that, guys.
05:08Mmm!
05:18Yum!
05:22Crunchy.
05:25And it's really, really good inside.
05:27It has that filling.
05:35Which makes it really good.
05:37Mmm!
05:43This is ramen, pork-based.
05:45Fukuoka-style ramen.
05:47So, the flavor is tonkotsu ramen with soy sauce.
05:57It's like you're eating fine dining noodles
06:01in a plastic cup like this.
06:04But it tastes like fine dining food.
06:08Delicious, very good.
06:14Where's Sir Gov?
06:15We need to share this.
06:17Sir Gov, where are you?
06:21Please do watch My Ilonggo Girl,
06:23GMA 7, 9.35pm, Mondays to Thursdays.
06:29I experienced Japan again.
06:31The food.
06:33I was really surprised.
06:35Because, like I said, it's hard to replicate it.
06:41And I think Coffee Dojo is on point.
