originally planned on eating at a nearby japanese resto, but had a last minute change of heart because we wanted to try something new (😅). and so we ended up at catabolic. definitely one of the cutest cafes in the area.i loved (loved loved) the interiors, that's a given. simple yet classy, perfect minimalism. the server was nice (even though she looked like she was having a hard time because of the lack of staff). i requested for the other aircon to be turned on as well because the afternoon heat was quite unbearable, and she turned it on right away. food -- bad news before the good. i ordered their best seller (fried chicken + waffles) and i wasn't happy with it ☹ nakakasad because it was the most expensive thing on our bill lol. the chicken was okay, i had no problem with the taste (simple, a bit too bland for my liking but still okay) and the serving size (it was BIG, even for me!! two people could share). and i actually enjoyed the waffles. but maaan did i hate the strawberry butter and special sauce ☹. aaagh. i couldn't even bring myself to finish the top waffle (the one with strawberry butter on it) because it was just ugh. and that's saying a lot because i am one who would practically lick my plate clean (had my parents not stopped me from doing that and said it was wrong when i tried it at age 5). my tongue couldn't comprehend the special syrup either. i don't know if i tasted sweet or sour or spicy, i just know i didn't like what i tasted. disappointing because the dish was so hyped up here in website, and the strawberry butter is really popular among reviewers. but i don't know. sigh. just not for me, i guess. oh well, at least the balat was a winner. bestie had the seafood pesto. i also tried it (because i was desperate to rid my tongue of the taste of strawberry butter) and it was really good!! oily as most pesto pastas usally are. serving size was smaller than expected, though. the highlight of our lunch was definitely(!!) the rainbow cake ❤🌈. before today i had never tasted a vanilla flavored cake, let alone a rainbow vanilla flavored cake, and i'm so glad it lived up to our expectations. it looks really sweet but it's just right. and it's so pretty 😢 we didn't want to eat it na nga eh (😅).despite the strawberry butter + special sauce dilemma, i do not regret trying out catabolic cafe!! we'll be back (not for the mains but) for the rainbow cake, and other pastries. also looking forward to trying their coffee. ❤🌻

Hanging out with mom and my classmate here. I order mocha. It was okay. A bit bitter. My mom ordered coffee.I'm kind of disappointed that they don't know how to serve the coffee or they dont serve coffee with sugar and milk. I asked waitress for condiments for coffee. She was clueless. She went to the kitchen and went back to us again. Asking what condiment. I don't want to complain in front of her because i don't know if she's new working here. I asked for sugar and milk. But she gave us small sugar which is about 1 tablespoon. The mug of coffee is really big. So i asked her again for sugar and milk. She didnt serve milk kanina. Same small sugar and little milk........ [see the photos here the sugar and milk]:( I DON'T RECOMMEND TO HAVE COFFEE HERE. They don't know how to serve the coffee. Even other staff. :(

Chicken and waffles - 350 Tadyang - 360Rainbow cake - 180 Sobrang sulit!!! In my opinion, their servings are good for 2. Ang lalaki ng servings! The chicken they serve is quarter chicken, leg and thigh part pa. Very generous din sa sauce and strawberry butter. Ooooh the strawberry butter!!! I think napapanaginipan ko pa rin siya until now lol For the tadyang, my dad loved it. Ang dami nung kanin pero sinimut niya. High praises siya for the vinegar din.Rainbow cake was WOOOOOOW hahaha it's super dense and siksik. We were a group of three and di namin naubos kasi ang bigat sa tiyan. It wasn't too sweet din so my dad, who is a diabetic, got the chance to taste and enjoy it.The place was a bit small but kebs na. The cr was neat and pleasing to the eyes. Service was awesome! Ang bait nung nasa cashier :) also, if you want to take photos of your food here, the lighting is not very conducive for IG photos (unless alam niyo talaga ginagawa niyo; unfortunately for me, I don't hahahaha) anyway, I'd love to come back again. I recommed this to everyone who wants brunch!!!!
