PIXEL'S CAFE: AN OASIS FOR PLAYERS, A USUAL PLACE FOR DINERS

A person ascertains the word pixel, and he swiftly relates it to technology. When he probes for a profound meaning, he extends his search in all of his information sources. The term is defined by the dictionary as any of the small discrete elements that together constitute an image. What he didn’t fathom is that Valenzuela City slightly diverges from the normal interpretation of pixel.

In a street of Malanday, Pixels Café can be located. One of the owners of the establishment was inquired about the business. A smile dominates Elaine Samonte’s face, perhaps she was reminiscing and became nostalgic by the blissful memories of the past while responding to the presented questions.

HISTORY

The Samonte family, consisting of four progenies and two parents, lived the standard life in the 80’s and 90’s. They had somewhat dissimilar but interconnected interests, probably because of their age intervals and priorities in life. The youngsters entertain themselves and also bond with each other by playing retro games ruled by 8-bit fictional characters, while the adults get immersed in establishing their careers to assist their financial needs. Furthermore, the matriarch is fond of food-related business endeavors, while her husband is into coffee and restaurants.

Almost two decades later, September of the year 2017, Pixels Café was introduced to the world. The 8-bit characters that once existed only on screens seem to morph into reality. Elaine’s childhood had a tremendous influence in the enterprise itself. The name of the café came from the retro games that Elaine and her siblings played during their youth. Their mother and father’s enthusiasm in the field was a cherry on top. Everything fell in place.

Along the way, erecting this kind of business requires expertise, because as the owner, the objective is to satisfy the cravings and taste buds of your costumers. There was a faint inconvenience in the food formula and menu, for the siblings and their parents, despite their fondness of edible delicacies were not cuisine specialists. The Samonte household’s determination and dedication were tested in finding a consultant chef, and fortunately, they were able to commission one to resolve the issues.

WHAT’S NEW?

In order to be irreplaceable, one must be different. Elaine and her brothers pondered the menu names to make it unique from other restaurant menus. Marvin the Martian, Bugs Bunny Pork Liempo, Leonardo Waffle Split, Raphael Oreo Delight, Michaelangelo Fruity Overload, and Superman Classic originated from the distinctive epithets and recollections of the family long-ago.

Succeeding platters at Pixels Café also exhibited the tantamount scheme of its creators. The Granny’s Sweet and Sour Fish attempted to make an impression using batter fried fish swimming in homemade sauce and spring onions, and it did leave flavors on some parts of the fish. The balance of the seasonings were satisfactory, the sweet having a battle with the sour. On the other hand, in terms of presenting itself to its beau, it seemed lackluster.

Pixel’s Burger Overload was a fantasy. Perhaps it felt tremendous anxiety worrying about the great responsibility attached to its name overload that it completely forgot what it’s supposed to be. The fried potatoes resting beside the freshly baked brown buns had the same frequency as the fingers of human hands. Burgers should not also hesitate to increase their proportions, it’s a part of growing up. On the brighter side, the patty was overloaded with spices and salt- delivering the ultimate umami.

Arriba! Arriba! Nachos was a glass half-filled with water—the union of nachos, beef, black olives, cheese sauce, fresh tomato salsa and chives should have been extensive that may result to a satisfying feeling. A shrimp went solo on Shrek pesto, with the pasta tasting creamy from the olive oil and parmesan. It had high notes of pepper and earthy flavors. The best symphony would be possible with more accompaniment.

The tang of Greek Foam-covered Iced Coffee in the style of Oreo and vanilla should be amplified like the music on a Friday night as well as the Dark Choco and Wintermelon Milktea. Wonder Berry makes individuals contemplate whether they are granted with icing sugar and ice cream that was originally written on the menu, or a strawberry jam with faint traces of sweet flavors.

The Porky Pig Sisig, pork liver and jowls were bombarded with white onions, citrus, chives, and fried egg. Meat pops moderately in the mouth, yet the pork was vaguely controlled by its oiliness, and the general texture.

Raphael Oreo Delight was included in the dean’s list. Edges of the plate were overlapping with the patterned sunset-colored waffles. Oreo and whipped cream smooched caramel syrup above the pancake. Savoring this piece of heaven guarantees brief but genuine euphoria.

Other parts of the café were dedicated to entertainment. Guests were awed by the set of games that amuses the contenders, such as UNO cards, jenga, and varieties of board games. The atmosphere was congenial; the people are able to have a rapport with the café and its staff. Places must have good ventilation in all areas, and this is one of the factors that has a room for rectification.

Surfeited with delicacies, a final question wafted the air. What makes people come back? Elaine stares and reflects for a moment, before stating that it’s not just about the foods that you offer, it’s also about the ambiance of the place. The world can be tiring, a person needs his safe haven to rest his eyes and stretch his muscles to face another day ahead.
