Last weekend, we came across this amazing little place, Cresent Moon Cafe & Pottery Studio located just out of Manila. You can literally feel yourself relax as you enter this wee oasis, the driveway is overgrown with jungle of tropical vegetation, an abundance of birdlife, insects and flowing waterfalls which drain into the three partnering ponds, teaming with Japanese giant goldfish - ‘oh the serenity’
(classic one line from ‘The Castle).
For p350(pp), you can feast apon a four course meal while gazing out across the waterfall and ponds. Our menu included a delicious creamy mushroom soup, beetle leaves with seven different types of fillings to wrap in the leaves, a box suey, chicken curry, and a delightful sticky rice and mango to cleanse the palette.
After our monster meal, we waddled across to the pottery studio which was piled up with beautifully crafted pieces and molds. I was like a kid in a candy store – what a feast for the eyes. An abundance of colour and choices, and so incredibly cheap.
