It's a neighborhood cafe on the 2nd floor (you have access to your own staircase from the parking lot) of the Rublou Marketplace in Brookside Hills, Cainta. FOOD We had the creamy pumpkin soup, creamy chicken adobo garlic noodles, sunset pork tonkatsu, soy tocino, and beef salpicao. Despite the small portions, the food was great and reasonably priced. I would love to come back to try their desserts.

And now, finally I got to try it. Cafe at Sunset is located on the 2nd floor at Rublou Marketplace in Brookside subdivision. I was trying to figure out where exactly Rublou is. Turns out, there are actually *three* Rublou's in Cainta (or I guess maybe even more if go around the entire town) -- one in Greenfield subdivision, and another two on Ortigas Avenue extension. I was kind of lost, as a result. So when I finally found the correct Rublou Marketplace where Cafe at Sunset is located, I really did hope that it would be worth all that wandering which, quite unquestionably, made me famished hehehe. As I entered the building, I was disappointed a bit. Their cake display was empty. And except for a lone chocolate cake, I didn't see any more of their signature mini cakes. I specifically wanted to try their Ube Leche Flan cake (since trying Anghelica's Dessert's own version of it, it has been a favorite). There were other regular-sized cakes in the refrigerator though. What I had: ????Sunset Pork Tonkatsu (P145) ☆☆☆ ~ According to the menu, it is their "version of melts-in-your-mouth pork tonkatsu w/ teriyaki sauce." So naturally I got quite excited, as I love tonkatsu. When I finally got a bite of it, yeah, it was crunchy indeed, but not quite melts-in-your-mouth nor tender. I felt that it was a pre-made, frozen tonkatsu they used for this dish, and I kind of felt let down in the end. But I liked the tomato salsa (more of that, please!), it tasted refreshing as it should be. Considering the large portions, this was a bang for the buck indeed. ????Iced Hazelnut Latte (P120) ☆☆☆ ~ This was just OK, but fortunately it had strength so this was my kind of coffee. Some iced coffee drinks are just too sweet. ????Matcha Lava Cake (P110) ☆☆☆☆☆ ~This one was the redeemer. Soft, moist, saucy as a lava cake should be. And the balance between the matcha's bitterness and the cake's overall sweetness was just right. ❤Red Velvet Lava Cake (P110) ☆☆☆☆ ~ Actually, the Red Velvet and Matcha Lava Cake are some of the cafe's most recent creations. Maybe limited edition flavors just for the holidays (it's because they match the Christmas colors, green and red). I ordered this for a takeout. This one's a bit too sweet for me but the soft and moist texture is the same. I prefer the matcha one, though. There were a few customers by the time I dined there, so yeah it was really nice, hindi nakaka-stress hehehe. Add the loungey Christmas choons, it was definitely a place to chillax. I hope the next time I make a return to Cafe at Sunset they have all these mini-cakes. Maybe it wasn't really my day today hehehe. asecretfanfare.blogspot.com

This time I had a full meal - boneless bangus with fried rice and side of salsa plus tangy dip. Will always go back for ambience and feel-good food I can relate to.
