Ever had those moments where you’d stumble into a new food establishment and stopped dead in your tracks because of all the mouth-watering dishes they had on the menu? Of course you have!
However, with the huge variety of scrumptious looking meals presented to you, you can’t help the internal struggle for which one you should choose. Choosing JUST ONE is such a bane and is practically a crime to all the other good food on the menu. Imagine, looking to your right you see an ooey-gooey beef lasagna, while on your right is a creamy and savory chicken pesto lasagna. On top of the display is a dark chocolate cake, while on the bottom is a decadent milk chocolate cake.

“What do I choose?!” you scream in your head! STOP!
What if you didn’t have to choose? What if you could have both? Well, I’ve got good news for you because there’s one particular place where you don’t have to sacrifice one food for the other and commit a terrible food crime.

Introducing C Ki+chenry Culinary Studio, a humble resto and bakery owned by Bettina Carlos—former Sous Chef of Chef Boy Logro in ‘Idol sa Kusina’.
At C Ki+chenry, say “Goodbye!” to the indecisive eater in you because of their uniquely made half-and-half dishes. Here, everyone is sure to find peace of mind amidst CKi+chenry’s half-and-half dishes that sport both bold flavors and hefty servings.
The dishes we tried were the Impossiblasagna, The All Mine Chocolate Cake, the signature Bucci Breads, and the Pastel de Leche Cake; all of which we finished down to the last bite!
Speaking of “finishing down to the last bite,” we couldn’t help ourselves to devour every nook and cranny of the tray of Impossiblasagna. This bad boy serves both beef and chicken lasagnas in one!
C Ki+chenry’s Impossiblasanga. Just look at the crispy cheese on top and that surprising two flavored center!
On one side you’ve got this meaty and tangy beef lasagna that practically melts in your mouth with the accompaniment of their smooth tomato-based sauce. Moving to the other side you’ve got a sure crowd-pleaser with the creamy and all-too-perfect chicken pesto lasagna packed with loads of flavor.
And if you think this dish couldn’t have gotten any better—you’re wrong! On top of all this goodness is a generous—and I mean GENEROUS—layer of melted cheese that’s crunchy and gooey at the same time (Recalling this dish makes my mouth water every time).

Now, what could possibly make your tastebuds any happier after this? Well, let The All Mine Cake surprise you.
A slice of the amazingly decadent All Mine Chocolate Cake. Check out that caramel shine!
With the name “All Mine,” you’re definitely going to understand very quickly why this cake is called such.
This decadent chocolate cake monster is dense and firm, laced with salted caramel, and heavily layered with TWO KINDS OF CHOCOLATE—dark chocolate and milk Callebaut chocolate (A premium Belgium chocolate brand). All the while topped with toasted almond slivers for that crunch and hint of saltiness.
If you want to be the star of your family gathering and the favorite of all your relatives, then bring this cake to your next party. Just watch out for the food fight that might ensue once the last slice is left.
Lastly, we have the Bucci Breads and the Pastel de Leche Cake. Although these two dishes aren’t exactly part of the half-and-half options, they’re still TOO GOOD not to mention.
Make Buchi sosyal like Gucci with C Ki+chenry’s Bucci Bread!
With the Bucci Breads you’ll get surprising textures and flavors all at once! When you take that first bite, the bread starts of as crunchy and toasty, but then all of a sudden you’re chewing on something spongy and sweet. If you thought Buchi was the real deal, well you haven’t tried a BUCCI bread.
Can you imagine how light and fluffy this is just by looking at it?! Try their Pastel de Leche cake
As for the Pastel de Leche Cake, think of it as a “fluffy cloud in your mouth” kind of food. This cake is so light and airy, it might as well just float. Soaked in 3 kinds of milk, you’ll experience one of the creamiest cakes you’ve ever had. And with the addition of tons and tons of whipped cream, as well as some slices of strawberries and mangoes with a sprinkle of pistachio nuts, you can bet this cake will leave you wanting more.
When you’ve got a place that serves dishes that don’t let you down in terms of choices, quality, freshness and, of course, taste, you know you’ve found “the one” for your belly. Stop being an indecisive eater and satisfy your cravings at C Ki+chenry now!
