One Fine Morning At UCC Café

CEBU, Philippines - Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Starting your day with the right company of friends and the superb breakfast fare at the upscale UCC Café at The Terraces of Ayala Center Cebu is like a giant leap forward to a wonderful day.

We arrived at the UCC Café at 7 am and the place was already buzzing with several people also hoping to get that perfect kick start for the day.

Starting off with a healthy blend of tropical juices that titillated our taste buds, we were ready for a breakfast experience that has already changed the lifestyle of several Cebuanos and visitors to this Queen City of the South.

It did not take long for the house favorite, Shitake mushroom omelet to be served along with Hungarian furthers in waffle. There was also the “Breakfast Surprise” that was an English toast muffin with a slice of ham and tomato, topped with a perfectly poached egg and served with Japanese white sauce.

That was not all as we left some room for the ‘hard to resist’ desserts of macadamia nut cheesecake, tiramisu Splenda and halo-halo.

UCC Café in Cebu is managed by co-owner Kitty Uytengsu-Tan.

Although UCC Café originated in Japan, it also carries an array of American and European cuisine and also serves lunch and dinner.

There is also a function room on the second level of UCC Café that is perfect for small and intimate gatherings or business meetings.

UCC Café opened its doors last April 25 and easily became a favorite for the discerning coffee drinkers.

Among the favorites for those who prefer the cold drinks is the coffee cooler special, which is a delicious mix of butterscotch and cream blended with espresso and topped with the sweet crunch of Oreo cookie bits.

Great food and great company always mix at UCC Café, which opens from 7 am to 12 midnight.
