  • An all-new experience at Museum Cafe

    Only four years from its introduction, the Museum Café already has the benefit of recall that the mere mention of its name creates visual images of things jaded palates yearn for. Having retained its popularity, it can clearly be attributed to its great location within the bustling Makati business district. The restaurant also continues to offer a mélange of remarkable cuisine, artistic sensibility and extraordinary service in a relaxed, cosmopolitan atmosphere.
    There is great attention to detail, an innovative concept of evolving art, and a stimulating ambience. Its versatility to transform from a weekday business lunch crowd, to a family Sunday brunch setting, an events place, to an evening jazz bar and chillout spot, makes it more interesting.
    But more than anything, M Café reaches great lengths in providing an absolute dining pleasure, and even more with the introduction of it’s all-new menu courtesy of Nurul Huda Bin Mohammed Radzi, the new Malaysian chef on board. The culinary influence he brings is certainly as sweeping as his global experience from Malaysia, Greece, the Carribeans, Egypt, Ireland, Ukraine, and Brunei among others.
    Chef Nurul’s detail is apparent from the flavor, texture, and aroma to the visual composition on a plate. While retaining the modern Asian cuisine concept that M Cafe has been known for, he applies an innovative touch allowing diners to embark on a gustatory experience like no other.
    This is evident in appetizers such as the Asian crab cakes, Roasted honey duck rolls, and the Sweet basil pork wonton pouches. It is also apparent in its entrees like the Grilled roasted tandoori spiced chicken, one of M Cafe’s line of oven roasted “naan” pizza; the Sour-sweet calamari chop chop in a wonton basket; and the Smoked bangus with salted egg in a lightly creamy dressing.
    One can’t go wrong with the Grilled chili lemongrass-scented Australian lamb chops, one of M Cafe’s new signature entrees. Other good ones worth trying include the Sweet and sour whole baby



    Lapu-Lapu for fish lovers, Honey BBQ roasted pandan chicken, the (full slab) Grilled sweet sesame Asian style baby back ribs, and the Imperial kung pao wok fried chicken among others.
    Some may not be aware that M Café is also home of hard-core dessert lovers. Regulars drop by to either pick-up a pre-ordered cake or simply enjoy a quiet bite while having coffee or casual meetings with friends. Among the must-try cakes are the Jackfruit sanrival, Pandan cheesecake, Chocnut valrhona, Caramel chocolate and for the health-conscious, the Sugarfree carrot cake. Other bestselling treats for the sweet toothed include the Mango sticky rice, the Honey Dew melon with sago, and the very popular Crème brulee trio.
    Indeed, M Café is all about imagination with its cuisine crafted by creativity. The mystery of its appeal and conscious success inevitably unfolds as one experiences dining in this sanctuary of art and form.
    The Museum Café is located on the Ground Floor of the Ayala Museum’s Glass Wing in Greebelt 4, Makati City. It opens daily at 8am offering breakfast, lunch and dinner service until 12 midnight. Sunday brunch is from 11am to 3pm. Patio tables are available for seasonal dining al fresco, along with a full bar offering an array of coffee, tea, signature cocktails and an extensive list of wines. For reservations and more information, call (02) 757-3000 or 757-6000.

    We just had our annual x'mas party at M cafe and I was pleasantly surprised. You normally don't expect the food to be very good at these kinds of places but M cafe was actually quite good. I especially liked their green salad with smoked bangus dressing and seafood with peanut sauce. Dessert wasn't bad either except for the choco ginger mousse. I kinda tasted like eating choco mousse with tinolang manok...ugh. The mojitos though were really good although the glass was rather small. However, it was pretty strong. The choc nut martini tasted like varnish and the rockstar didn't rock so much. See even after drinking 4 cocktails and 3 bottles of beer I can still make a review.

    museum or M cafe has DJs that play chillout music (ala chicane, cafe del mar) every Friday evening. crowd is mixture of foreigners and chic yuppies. it's great for people watching, sipping martinis with your girlfriends and unwinding.

    after dining & desserts in greenbelt, this would make a great stop for a "night cap" or a pit stop before continuing on with your friday night's revelry.

    it's quite private since it's way at the end of the greenbelt park and there are no restaurants or other bars beside it. it's great to sit outside too, where you'll be surrounded by lush greens and a pond.

    the mojito here is great but watch-out! can be "traidor!" :)

    MY ILLY STORY: My love affair with Illy at M café
    By: Aly Abaquin http://alyabaquin.blogspot.com

    My love affair with the Illy coffee brand started a year ago when I was actually waiting patiently for a business meeting in one of the best and amazing Art/Culture hip place in Makati- The M cafe which is situated right beside the Ayala Museum.

    It was a late afternoon meeting wherein the sunset is about to give its rays a rest after overcastting it lights on M Cafe’s massive glass panels.

    Mind you the place is not hot but comfortably cooler in Manila’s humid atmosphere.

    I love the manner of how the M cafe welcome its patrons with clean modern lines that is artistically accommodating while the impeccable minimalist interiors hugs you as you enter the premises.

    I feel like in MOMA in New York that unforgettable AHA factor again as

    I reminisce my days in New York and enjoying the art and culture of Cosmopolitan MANHATTAN but in humid but equally energetic Greenbelt in Ayala Makati.

    I immediately ordered for espresso since I’m a little bit loopy. I need a kick of some sort to regain my energy level since I’m presenting a Marketing plan.

    And being “low bat” (Filipino term for Low energy) is not a way to go.

    The server after brewing the best espresso- presented to me a cup of Illy that is highly aromatic and elegantly exciting in a clear white ceramic cup. That’s not all - on its side is a CHOC- NUT. A little surprise very Filipino indeed.

    The smell is enticing and while drinking my Illy coffee sip by sip - It becomes an intense experience as in many ways to partake my brown, bittersweet and sinful infatuation of the decadent espresso from the Arabica bean.-

    Love at first sip I supposed.

    “By the way espresso or more properly known as caffé espresso refers to the concentrated flavourful “essence” brewed from the beans.” The amount of coffee used is roughly 2/3 the amount used for a single serving of drip coffee, but with far less water.

    I’m not an expert in coffee but only a passionate coffee aficionado.

    And one sip I immediately transported to coffee heaven, the pleasure you get from every sip is sensationally satisfying.

    ILLY-I am mesmerized with your quality and beauty, and you engage in all my senses which cultivates and inspire my creativity along with your perfect cup.

    I AM TRULY IN LOVE! I told myself.... not only that I am also forever grateful for I did clench a business deal that eventful day.

    My love affair with Illy -just started.....till we meet again....Ciao... ;)

    You go to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa. You go to the Ayala Museum Cafe to taste their paella and their pandan sans rival.

    The society matrons, artsy types and foreigners can be a little intimidating; but if food is important to you, M Cafe is worth getting over your insecurities.
