Paper Food PH
What do you think about simultaneously enjoying food and awakening your creative side? Sounds fun, right? Well, last night, I visited the food store managed by one of my high school batch mate. She invited us to try her newly-opened business. And off I go, along with my creative friends.

As for the cafe that I visited last night, it also has its own peculiarity in attracting attention of food lovers, famished, and creative human beings.
The cafe's logo
The cafe's name, Paper Food PH, opened last January 9, 2017. The store is owned by Jaimee Mae Javier-Santos and her sister Megan Javier. They are both young entrepreneurs who are ready to enter the food business world.

Paper Food PH, is unique because it stimulates their customer's creative side with designing their own paper boxes with various drawing and coloring materials available at the cafe. I think it is the first cafe that let's their customers design their own food boxes.

All sorts of drawing and coloring materials are on hand like: oil pastel, crayons, colored pens, pentel pen, highlighting pens, color pencils, etc.
It is a NO WIFI-ZONE, because the store owners want to encourage personal communication, and creativity among their customers. So, goodbye social networks at the moment.
Paper Food PH's interior theme is more of a minimalist with a touch of creativity, of course. Look at the hanging paper cups that looked like chandeliers. Simple but creative. Soon, they will have some modifications in favor of the suggestions made by the customers.

Let's talk about FOOODS! Well, their specialty: Food Box Cheese Burger, fairly appetizing and worth the money. The patty is home-made (meaty and tasty). The burger sauce is also a house special and it has a secret ingredient that really made the burgers so scrumptious!

You ought to try Nutella-Marshmallow bites, it will satisfy your sweet tooth (my daughter and mother really liked it! Kudos!)

They have other food choices like:
Spam Sandwich
Cheesy Corned Beef Sandwich
Blueberry and Strawberry Smuckers Sandwiches
French Fries
New choices will be added next week.
Serving time usually takes about 5-10 minutes depending on your order. While orders are being prepared, you can start doodling or creating art with your paper box and paper cups. What a great way to kill time while waiting for orders. Once the food is ready, they will ask for your designed paper boxes and paper cups. Then, they will serve it again with your orders inside. Great idea there, Jaimee!
Now, it's our time to arouse our creativity and indulge our hungry stomachs. We ordered Spam sandwich, Cheeseburger, French fries, bubblegum shake, chocolate shake, and mango shake. While waiting for our orders, we started crafting our paper boxes.

Tada!!!! Our finished paper boxes and paper cups.
Verdict:
- What we ordered was really satisfying (Cheeseburger, Spam sandwich, and Nutella-Marshmallow bites). I recommend you to try these.
- The ambiance is relaxing. The location is serene so you have better focus with your crafting session.
- ECO-FRIENDLY - the only plastic your will use is the plastic gloves. They use paper boxes, paper cups and paper bags.
- They are open to suggestions to make their store better. Feel free to write your suggestion in the suggestion box.
- You are free to use any of the drawing materials, but they should add more in case more customers will arrive at the store. Well, sharing is also good. So, for clients, please share. Okay?
- This place is really good for creative people.
- I recommend you to take your friends, children, or even co-workers to this place. You'll have better bonding moment here.
