It started out as a frustrating day. I had problems with my phone and internet. It was a Friday and I knew that when I reported it to the phone company, it won't get fixed right away.
When I got out of the house, it was a very sunny afternoon and when you're living in a tropical country, that means the air is humid and you'll sweat a lot. Traffic was building up. My usual 5-minute commute became a 30 minute one.
Mooon Cafe, a Mexican-inspired restaurant has never let me down. It's my go to place...my ever reliable pick-me-up. And I needed some major food-luvin'.
I ordered the mildly spicy Chimichanga. What's not to like? Crispy flour tortilla? Good. Beef? Good. Salsa Rojo? Good. Cheese and sour cream? Goooood!
My drink of choice in Mooon Cafe has always been their signature drink, the Secret. It's a cocktail with orange juice and grenadier liqueur. I can finish 2 glasses of it every time I go to the restaurant.
After a forkful of chimichanga followed by a sip of Secret, I could actually feel all the built-up frustration flow out of me. I felt like the Energizer bunny, I could go on and on and on and on --- Mooon Cafe's magic worked again.
I always coome back to this restaurant because of the food as well as the prices. It's a great place to chill and relax with food and drinks.
Mooon Cafe has been a pioneer when it comes to Mexican-inspired food in Cebu. The restaurant started as an independent restaurant in Guadalupe until it was bought by the Pages Group, the same company that owns Thirsty?.
What's your pick-me-up resto?

I needed a boost --- a big one! It's a good thing that one of my favorite restaurants is just a few minutes from my office.
