A café in the heart of Makati Business District I'd never have thought would capture my fancy...
If I weren't invited by Breakfast Magazine to spend an afternoon at Brew-Kus, I probably would never have visited the place, and consequently never have had the pleasure of trying out their scrumptious comfort food. Tucked in a building at the center of all the hustle and bustle of the concrete jungle, Brew-Kus is a quiet haven for those looking to have a good meal without the steep price.
Start off with an appetizer or two, I recommend the Crisp Mushroom Ravioli which hides an abundance of shiitake mushrooms in a bed of cream cheese within. You can also opt for its spinach version for your fried vegetarian fix.
The Wild Mushroom Pasta is simply divine with its heavenly scent and creamy white sauce. The adornment of prosciutto counteracts the creaminess with its salinity, while the earthiness of the shiitake mushrooms simply curbs the flavor profile of the dish. A drizzle of white truffle oil completes this masterpiece.
If you want something lighter, try their gourmet sandwiches. Both the Shrimply Loaded and the Grilled Veg and Mozzarella are good options. The also have Beer-Battered Fish and Chips coated in a special batter and accompanied by a gorgeous herbed dressing.
Tea latte is the moniker for their milk/bubble tea. An assortment of flavors are available to choose from though I seem to always gravitate towards the Wintermelon variant, their version of which is pretty good despite not having the usual frothy cream on top.
It's really good to not be afraid to try out new things, new places, and new food. You never know when you might uncover a treasure or two.

I would like to try their Wild Mushroom Pasta. I am a sucker anything with mushrooms on it. And your right with the prosciutto. It ads another dimension to it. Mushrooms on white sauce sometimes taste bland. So we add more cheese on it. But with the prosciutto. It balances everything.
