00:00What do you think about the night scene?
00:07Well, when it started, it was during the pandemic, so the nightlife wasn't really there yet.
00:15So we tried to, following the guidelines, we tried what we can do
00:20to make the night scene for people.
00:23It's really about what a community wants and what they look for.
00:28And then we do our best to be able to cater that to them.
00:32Hey, Food Explorers!
00:34Hello!
00:35Okay, so ito, chibog na kami.

03:12So, it was the, uh, number of the, of the unit.
03:16Actually, I used to live there as well.
03:17So, the number 225 is really close to, uh, me personally kasi that's where I grew up.
03:23That's why we decided to just use the name 225.

05:45Ayan.
05:46Definitely would recommend all three.
05:47Something for everyone.
05:51Come visit us at 225.
05:53We are located at 26 Scout Torilio, Barangay Sacred Heart.
06:01Sa kahabaan ng maginhawa, may lugar na pwede ka kumain, magkape, at mag-inom.
06:06Ngunit may mas malalim na kwento kung paano nag-umpisa ang restaurant na ito.
06:10Back 2023, na-depress ako and I was really longing for a safe space.
06:16Parang nag-long ako doon sa pakipag-usap sa mga kaibigan, mafi.
06:21Siya lang actually yung mini-meet ko na kaibigan noong 2023.
06:25Na siya-share niya na pag nangingibang bansa siya, nag-be-visit siya ng plantation.
06:31Naniniwala kasi siya na para malaman yung culture ng ibang bansa no, kay Ernest Hemingway na she needs to visit yung bar.
06:41Doon nag-umpisa yung aming idea ng The Sanctuary Cafe and Bar.
06:45So, pinangalanan namin itong The Sanctuary.
06:47Actually, yung mga coffee namin, it's a distinct single origin coffee no.
06:52We are proud to say na kami lang yung nag-o-offer talaga and kami mismo yung nag-aangkat no,
06:58ng mga kopi luwak beans indalhin dito sa Pilipinas from Bali.
07:04Kung gusto mo ng tahimik na lugar habang nagkakape, meron silang mini-library.
07:09It is really our sanctuary and it can be your sanctuary as well.
07:16At hindi pinalampas ng ating mga food explorer ang mga pagkain at drinks ng The Sanctuary.
07:23Asian-inspired ang mga pagkain dito tulad ng Wagyu Sweet Potato Miso Bliss
07:29na inspired sa isang street food ng Taiwan na mas elevated dahil sa wagyu.
07:34Matitikman din nila ang crispy tofu in garlic sauce with pickled crunch.
07:39Ito naman ang version nila ng sikat na stinky tofu ng Taiwan.
07:43At ang wagyu ang cabbage omelette miso-blaze naman ay inspired sa Japanese okonomiyaki.
07:52And Chef, balita ko may ano pa kayo dito? May extra pa kayong magic na ilalagay dyan?
07:56Ah, hindi pa pala ito. Meron-meron.
07:59Kulang pa yan.
08:05I'm a big fan of omelette din ito.
08:08Like, I mean, breakfast guy talaga ako.
08:10So, hindi nawawala yung omelette.
08:12Every time na nagluluto ako ng breakfast or going outside to grab breakfast,
08:18but if you guys are particular in counting your calories or macros,
08:24nagka-count kayo.
08:25Swak to, bagay to sa inyo.
08:27Ah.
08:28Plus the protein.
08:29Di ba?
08:30Approve, approve for me.
08:31Approve, buddy.
08:33Ito, pagtahan naman natin tayo dito sa tofu kasi
08:35Yes, sir.
08:36I think this is better na kainin natin agad eh.
08:37Lalo na pag masoak sya sa sauce.
08:39Ding, bro.
08:40Ding, ding, ding.
08:41Ding, ding.
08:43Alam!
08:44Not darling.
08:45I like it.
08:48Mainit ba?
08:49It's best to eat talaga when it's served hot,
08:52while it's crispy.
08:53The sauce is really good.
08:54Approve?
08:55Approve?
08:56It's the Wagyu on sweet potato miso bliss.
09:00Ding, ding, bro.
09:02Yes, sir.
09:05Sabay pa yan.
09:06Sabay eh, sabay na sabay.
09:07It's very interesting because there's the flavor, and then there's the saltiness.
09:14Yeah, sweet and salty.
09:17And they added something for the texture.
09:19When the sweet potato is mashed, it's very soft and mushy.
09:23And then there's the starch, right?
09:25Ah, so they made it like it's solid, it has a cake texture, it has a chew.
09:29It's not like it's a rectangle.
09:31It's a rectangle, it's a mush.
09:33It has a bite to it, so the texture really adds to the whole experience.
09:39And of course, after nating kumain, Jeffrey, it's time for coffee.
09:44Coffee time naman.
09:45At tutulungan tayo ni Ate Rose ngayon.
09:47I-demo niya sa atin kung paano gumawa ng?
