Picture this: you're descending from the cloud nine of sophistication and you land—poof!—into the flour-dusted hug of The Delicatessen. It's more than just a bakeshop kiosk; it's an exquisite assortment of baked delights, a sacred sanctuary for those who believe that snack or dessert should be savored before anything else... and maybe even after that.

This is where your taste receptors do the tango, and every bite is a chorus of "hallelujah!" Imagine bread so exquisite, it could bring a tear to a Viking's eye. Picture a cheese platter so tempting, it could make a lactose-intolerant foodie throw caution to the wind. 

And if you have a fondness for buffets, look no further than Cafe Ilang-Ilang, where you can indulge in a gastronomic delight. If you fancy a bit of bubbly, The Champagne Room awaits with open arms. If imperial feasting is your style, The Red Jade promises an experience fit for Chinese royalty. But for those who live by the motto "Life's short, eat dessert first," The Delicatessen is your nirvana.

Now, let's talk about the pièce de résistance: the Hawaiian Loaf. If you're a pineapple aficionado, prepare to meet your doughy soulmate. This loaf is the afternoon delight you didn't know you needed, the weekend treat that whispers sweet nothings to your palate. At P575 nett for a loaf that sings of the tropics, or P95 nett for a solo indulgence, it's a small price to pay for a slice of paradise.

But wait—there's more! As the sun dips low and the clock strikes 5, The Deli slashes prices like a samurai of savings. A 50% discount on select breads and pastries awaits the early birds, ready to turn that after-work frown upside down

So, come one, come all, to this festival of flour and sugar. Let your sweet tooth run wild, and give your diet the day off. After all, in the grand tapestry of life, a little bread is the thread that binds joy to our souls.

While the Cafe Ilang - Ilang, Champagne Room, and Red Jade transport you to a realm where your worries will simply melt away and even your credit cards will beg for a vacation,  and your wallets might just break into a nervous sweat, The Delicatessen is a place where your senses can feast without fear of fiscal famine. It's a spot where I, your humble narrator, can indulge in the most tantalizing of eye-candy—edible art that's a feast for the eyes and a flirtation for the palate.

So, my lovely readers, while I may not have dined with the ghosts of Manila's elite, I have captured their haunts with my camera, and I've nibbled on the more humble, yet equally enchanting, offerings of The Delicatessen. Until my next culinary adventure, I bid you adieu, and may your own dining experiences be as rich in flavor as they are in laughter.
