00:00Here in Tagaytay, there is a coffee shop that will really get your attention because of its unique look.
00:08Come and join me to learn the story and taste the delicious coffee here in The White Dome Cafe.
00:19Nice.
00:23Hello sir.
00:24Hi.
00:24Good morning.
00:25Hello.
00:25Welcome to The White Dome Cafe.
00:27The White Dome?
00:28I would say this is one of the most unique cafes that I've been to.
00:34Why The Dome, sir?
00:35The Dome.
00:35Because at that time, we were thinking of a business.
00:40Okay.
00:41A cafe.
00:42But I saw that the design was the same.
00:45Right?
00:46Yes.
00:46That's why I saw this.
00:47I watched camping and glamping.
00:51So this is where I got the idea.
00:54Alright.
00:54And then at the same time, I visited an Airbnb here in Batangas just to experience this dome.
01:04So when I got there, that was also a wow factor for me.
01:14So that's when I realized, why not turn it into a cafe?
01:20You basically have a balance of chows and our drinks and beverages.
01:28Burger.
01:29We already know that.
01:31I'm just curious.
01:32I mean, when our viewers look at it, it looks like a toast with an egg.
01:39When in fact, Eggs Benedict is one technically hard to execute dish.
01:47Why did you include that?
01:48Is this one of your favorites?
01:50Yes, this is one of my favorites.
01:52Actually, I was also able to make this.
01:55I'm a home cook.
01:57Okay.
01:58I'm just a home cook.
02:00So I love cooking.
02:01And of course, I also cook my favorites.
02:14The touch of the smoked bacon is really nice.
02:19If it's like this, what would you suggest I pair up with Eggs Benedict?
02:23This tiramisu.
02:26The balance for me is, while I'm not mixing it yet,
02:30I personally do not enjoy as much as the sweet beverages.
02:37But this one, since I'm not mixing it yet, I'm still able to taste my preferred sweetness.
02:44And then if you want to indulge, of course, since this is just cream cheese,
02:49I think it will balance it more.
02:53There.
02:54And fairness, our serving of cream cheese is so generous.
03:00Yeah.
03:02The level of sweetness when I mixed the cream cheese, it's more balanced.
03:09What's the difference with White Dome or Dome Burger?
03:13This is 70% glean and 30% fat.
03:19Okay.
03:20Their chips are homemade?
03:22Yes, it's homemade.
03:23So it's freshly made, it's not out of a packet or something that you buy there.
03:29So I think that alone, maybe adds an extra layer of excitement.
03:37Sir, what would you suggest a good pairing here?
03:41Maybe this one.
03:42Sesame?
03:43Black Sesame.
03:44Alright.
03:45The burger, for me, it's perfectly seasoned.
03:50Because when you bite into our layers of potato bun, our veggies, the meat,
04:00and then the spread underneath, it becomes harmonious in the mouth.
04:06It's reminiscent for me of, it's like I'm drinking rice coffee in a way.
04:14I think we're saving the last one.
04:17It's like a drink slash dessert.
04:19Yeah.
04:21Wow!
04:22I was just surprised because I was thinking it would be very sweet
04:27but I think you got the idea that the biscuit you're using is already sweet
04:35so you mellowed down with the simple syrup you're using for your concoction.
04:42Nice!
04:57Thank you for watching!
