Surprisingly iba siya sa personal 🥰🥳

After a year of invitations, nakarating na rin sa Deca's Snack House - a humble snack house in the City of Tayabas 🥰🥳

✅ Food and Drinks: Lahat ay handcrafted nila 🥰🥳 mas gusto ko yun kesa sa mga ready mixed sauces and drinks na malalasahan mo yung kulang 🥳
✅ Spanish Latté: good quality ang coffee, lasa mo yung tamang timpla ng mga ingredients ng spanish latte, hindi siya tinipid o dinamihan ng ibang ingredient para masabing spanish latté sya. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Favorite ko talaga Spanish Latté)
✅ French Fries: (honestly, busog pa ako that time kaya ito muna) ang crunchy ng fries nila and sabi ko nga sa owner yung pagcoat ng sour cream ay hindi siya tinipid lahat coated.
✅ Creamy Chicken Pesto: (Thank you! Pinatikim nila to 🥰😁) honestly, very creamy, yung cream nya tama yung thickness, yung pesto sauce nila hindi siya ordinary as I tasted. Pasta - tama yung pagkakaluto and also yung chicken nila na madami din. Actually, ang dami nito parang pwede sya na good for 2. Malalasahan mo talaga na hindi siya tinipid. Affordable pa yung presyo for this pesto na medyo pricey sa iba. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
✅ Lemonade: napakamura ng kanilang lemonade with dried lemons🥰 darating siya sayo in big size cup 🥳🥰
✅ Place/Ambiance: Andito ako ng mga 1pm, maganda yung weather kaya maganda din tumambay sa lugar na ito, fresh sa eyes ang paligid with their white, black and woody colors, malinis tingnan kaya di mo akalain na napakamura ng mga food nila and ang dami ng choices of menu. Sarap magkwentuhan sa kanilang outside table and chairs kase yung space nya hindi masikip. 🥰🥳
✅ Owner/Staff: ang bait nila and approachable, they always assist you kung anong gusto mo. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you Deca's Snack House 🥰🥳🎉

Good Food, Good Place, Good Coffee = Perfect Place to meet and chat 🥳🥰🤩🎉⭐
