I can't be any more excited to share our latest SOUTHIEscovery a lil further down South, specifically in Santa Rosa Laguna. Why you ask? Cause of its quirky, playful, and youthful vibe and affordable food and drinks!😋👍🏽
I didn't know what I imagined but What Do You Think? wasn't at all what I expected: it was located in a residential area; the food & drinks were good AND inexpensive; and there were lots of toys and collectibles displayed all over the place!😱
We tried a variety of items on their regular and secret menus: rice meals, pastas, sammies, and bevvies. Here's everything we had and what we thought about them in Southie Chezca's words:
🍚 RICE MEALS:
Beefsi – ₱169
Imagine if tapsi and pares got married: this is soft, tender, and delicious when paired with rice. For Southie Donna, this was quite different than what she would usually expect. Perhaps, this is an acquired taste for some.
Sisig – ₱149
Ohhh Kapampangans will approve this! It’s your classic sisig without mayo. It’s spicy (but not too much) and expect to eat a loooot of rice with this!
Siomai – ₱99
Their siomai is big and filling, and not your usual, for sure! It's topped with locally sourced chilli garlic (from their friend!) which was the perfect complement!
🍝 Pastas: White Sauce & Red Sauce – ₱139
Their White Sauce is creamy, cheesy and had tuna. The Red Sauce version is akin to the classic Pinoy spaghetti but this one has corned beef, and was unanimously our favorite!
🥪 Toasties – ₱129
Their toasties come in three variants, Burger, Meaty and Cheesy. It’s their rendition of Panini, but Pinoy style! The bread is perfectly toasted, paired with your choice of filling. Opinions were split among us LOL. Southie Aisha loved their Cheesy variant, Southie Donna was partial to the Burger one, while I preferred the Meaty version.
🧋BEVVIES (Regular Menu):
Cherrybomb – ₱99 This is fruity, fizzy and sweet. If you love sour stuff, this is a must-try!
WDYT – ₱139 Whoops! This is for adults or customers 18+ only! Haha!. It contains some alcohol: it's a mix of brandy, chocolate, milk, and coffee. It's sweet and the kick of brandy reminds me of Bailey's. If you love that, you'll definitely appreciate this!
Dirty Matcha – ₱169
Plant-based version with a kick of coffee!
Hagrid’s Beer – ₱159
Fellow Potterheads, this is for you! It's milky, sweet, and has caramel. Tastes like a Butter Ball, so if you're a "Batang 90s", this will take you back!
White Kofi – ₱99
Creamy but still has that strong coffee kick.
🧋✨ BEVVIES (Secret Menu):
Salted Kofi - Sweet and creamy, this is their version of what we usually refer to as Salted Caramel.
Mango Graham - If you're in the mood for some summer flavor in your drink, you can order this.
Mallow Chip - The chocolate, marshmallows, and some milky goodness from their Mallow Chip is perfect for sweet tooth peeps!
💡 PRO-TIPs & FUN FACTS:
📌 We appreciated the staff v much: they were so friendly, courteous, proactive, and cheerful the whole time! Kudos to the team!
📌 The place is filled with WHOASOME and KEWL items– if you love pop culture, this is a haven for you!
📌 You can also buy a wide range of toys, collectibles, funko pops, and similar versions but in bigger sizes from their physical location or online.
📌 They have some games and a PS5 console available for customers, too, so this is the perfect place for group, or, even, couple dates.
📌 The pop culture references made for a lot of conversation starters while we were munching on looots of food. LOL.
📌 They conduct outreach activities every year to give back to the community.
📌 WDYT was actually their pandemic baby, and, years later, even after going through so many obstacles and painful experiences, WDYT is still here to stay!
Thank you so much, Nico and the rest of the WDYT Team, for the warm welcome and for feeding us like crazy!🫶🏽 LOL.
