One Stop, Delivered and Done for Angel's Pizza, Tien Ma's and Figaro Coffee at Cafe Portofino from The Figaro Group

For days when a sudden craving for pizza, particularly the Creamy Spinach Dip strikes there's Angel's Pizza. There are days when flavorful Taiwanese dishes drives you to the wall, but no worries. You can always count on Tien Ma's. And then, those days that call for a bold yet soothing cup of fresh brewed coffee paired with comfort food leads you to Figaro Coffee. But it's those days when a nagging craving for all three distinct cuisines takes over and fixing it can be tedious with three different locations. Not anymore. When you want it all right now, you'll find all your favorites in one stop...


One stop and done, and all your cravings from pizza to Taiwanese dishes, coffee and comfort food are satisfied all in one place. Where, you ask? Cafe Portofino from The Figaro Group is your one stop for all your pizza, Taiwanese cuisine, coffee and comfort food cravings with its wide repertoire of offerings including the popular all-time bestsellers from Angel's Pizza, Tien Ma's and Figaro Coffee

With four dining concepts under its portfolio led by the flagship brand Figaro Coffee, The Figaro Group leverages its core strengths of comforting cuisine, coffee and value at Cafe Portofino and then some. Not only does it offer its own specialties but the popular bestsellers of the three other dining concepts as well. You can say it's a one-stop shop for the progressive food group's repertoire of offerings and that's a unique concept in itself. Variety and value awaits at Cafe Portofino. To appreciate how this all works out for Cafe Portofino, let's take a closer look at the different flavors of The Figaro Group via the hassle-free and convenient delivery option (all available with the in-store delivery, website, mobile app, GrabFood, foodpanda and Booky)...


...starting with Angel's Pizza. The proudly homegrown pizza chain known for its "locally produced and heavenly made" pizza creations takes the classics along with playfully inventive variations like the specialty Creamy Spinach Dip Pizza for a whole new and refreshing spin on the staple. But there's more to Angel's Pizza than just pizza to open up a whole new layer of possibilities...


...like their pasta offerings to complement your pizza. Pizza and pasta make up the classic pair and Angel's Pizza boasts of a tempting array of options in their menu.


The Carbonara (P 105 Solo/P 355 Platter) with mushrooms on noodles slathered in a creamy sauce is a rich yet comforting choice...


...while the Cheesy Lasagna (P 165) draped and covered in cheese is another sure bet. Both the Carbonara and Cheesy Lasagna are both simple and uncluttered yet it does the job of pleasing your palate with wholesome flavors. Other pasta options include the Classic Spaghetti (P 95/P 315), Mac & Cheese (P 115/P 355), Asian Chicken Sesame (P 115/P 355) and Tomato Cream & Shrimp Penne (P 180). 


Angel's Pizza also offers a variety of tasty sides like the cheesy and meaty Tacos (P 70) filled with fresh ingredients for real flavors and contrasting textures. There's no need to reinvent the classics and keeping it simple works all the time. 


Just like the Angel's Chicken Bucket (P 585 for 6 pcs/P 735 with rice and soda). Juicy and moist and delicately crisp on the outside, it's honest no-frills fried chicken that hits the spot. 


Pair the Angel's Chicken Bucket with a side of Golden Curls (P 100) for a winning combo. Angel's Pizza also offers other tasty sides like Chicken Nuggets (P 130-6 pcs) and Bread Sticks (P 30). There's really a whole lot of reasons to visit Angel's Pizza.


Then, you're ready for the pizza, available in Original Hand-Tossed or Thin Crust. From the classic Angel's Pepperoni to the creative Cheesy Melt Double Decker PizzaAngel's Pizza shows its mastery of pizza with its traditional and even unexpected renditions.


One variant stands out, and it's what Angel's Pizza is best known for and this is the Creamy Spinach Dip (P 370 Medium/P 515 Family/P 655 Big Family). Loaded with spinach and onion and layered with mayo, cream cheese, Parmesan, Mozzarella and pizza cheese, the Creamy Spinach Dip just isn't your usual or even typical pizza. Inspired by the dip, Angel's Pizza recreates that same rich and decadent notes and mouthfeel with the Creamy Spinach Dip on a hand-tossed crust. Building on the success of the Creamy Spinach DipAngel's Pizza goes a step further with its latest variant (for more on their newest Creamy Spinach Sushi Bake Pizza, see my previous post Angel Sent: The New Creamy Spinach Sushi Bake Pizza by Angel's Pizza).


The luscious layers of the different cheeses and mayo add weight to each slice, delivering a flavorful burst of creamy richness smoothened by the mayo. It's the slice that sets Angel's Pizza apart from the rest of the pies. 

For an all-out Angel's Pizza feast, don't forget to try their value-packed Combo Meals, the Double Deal with choice of two Original Hand-Tossed or Thin Crust Pizza and the Sana Ol Bundles. And yes, you'll find it on the menu too at Cafe Portofino.


From Taiwan to Manila, The Figaro Group brings authentic Taiwanese cuisine to your table with Tien Ma's. You can always find good Chinese food in every corner of the metro, but it's rare to spot hearty Taiwanese fare. Now all you have to do is make a few quick taps or clicks on your mobile device for a taste of Taiwan delivered to your doorstep from Tien Ma's via Cafe Portofino.


Tien Ma's offers a wide selection of packed and complete meals under its Lauriat Sets affordably priced at P 179 including Tainan Fried Chicken, Honey Lemon Chicken, Fried Pork Chop, Three Cup Chicken and Fish Fillet in Black Bean Sauce. Packed with Yang Chow Fried Rice, noodles with vegetables and a side of crisp crackers, the Lauriat Set by Tien Ma's is the perfect option for large groups and families. 


At the top of my list is the savory Salt & Pepper Spare Ribs with tender and juicy pork simmered in a mildly sweet and thick sauce pairing well with the Yang Chow Fried Rice for a satisfying and complete meal. 


For a lighter meal option, the Sweet & Sour Fish Fillet brings fresh and bold comfortingly familiar flavors to the palate to satisfy your craving. With nine options to choose from Tien Ma's has everything covered with their Lauriat Sets.


From the Lauriat Sets to savory mains, Tien Ma's teases the palate with its repertoire of authentic Taiwanese flavors with dishes like the Stir-Fried Beef with Broccoli (P 270). Who can resist fork-tender slices of beef in a thick and savory sauce with broccoli? The bold beefy notes and the subtle lingering sweetness of the broccoli combine for comforting flavors capped by the savory sauce. Extra rice? For sure.

Other equally flavorful options include the Tainan Fried Chicken (P 299 Half/P 499 Whole), Honey Lemon Chicken (P 245 Regular/P 299 Large), Sweet & Sour Fish Fillet (P 250 Regular/P 370 Large), Fried Pork Chop (P 299-2 pcs/P 399-4 pcs), Salt & Pepper Spare Ribs (P 250 Regular/P 370 Large), Three Cup Chicken (P 250 regular/P 399 Large) and Fish Fillet in Black Bean Sauce (P 250 Regular/P 370 Large).


And when your craving calls for extra rice, the Yang Chao Fried Rice (P 180 Regular/P 260 Large) should do the trick. Soft and fluffy flavored with a fresh variety of ingredients, you'll soon be on your way to a second bowl. And a third.


Pair your savory mains with the Garlic Vegetables (P 220) to complete your authentic and hearty Taiwanese feast from Tien Ma's.


And there's more. The Stir-Fry Noodles (P 190 Regular/P 260 Large) fixes your craving for noods with a few tasty bites. Other noodle dishes at Tien Ma's include the Stir-Fried Sotanghon (P 265).   


Dim sum? Tien Ma's has that covered too. The Pork Siomai (P 130-4 pcs) is almost a no-brainer addition to your list. Soft, moist and full of flavor, the Pork Siomai is just one of many tasty dim sum options from Tien Ma's flavorful playlist which include the Siopao Adobo (P 120-2 pcs), Siopao Bola-Bola (P 120-2 pcs), Fresh Vegetarian Spring Rolls (P 230), Hakaw (P 110), Salted Egg Custard Bun (P 120) and Pan-Fried Pork & Shrimp Dumplings (P 155-8 pcs).


The extensive variety of dishes at Tien Ma's at prices that won't bust your budget makes it top-of-mind on your list of go-to dining options. Dining in-store or at home, Tien Ma's authentic Taiwanese dishes proves that value and variety are a winning combo. 


When it comes to Taiwanese cuisine, the first thing that pops up in my mind is the classic and iconic beef noodles. Tien Ma's own Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (P 199) does not disappoint. 


Fork-tender beef on soft yet firm noodles with vegetables in a light yet flavorful broth, each sip and bite drapes the palate with rich comforting notes like a virtual hug. The subtle and gentle yet lingering heat from the fiery chilies adds depth to the play on flavors. It's the flavors of Taiwan in a bowl. And you don't need to go far, you'll find it at Tien Ma's. And Cafe Portofino.


There's more to Chinese cuisine than the usual and ubiquitous Cantonese dishes found everywhere in the metro. Change up your game with the tasty and authentic offerings from Tien Ma's without breaking your budget. 


Long known for its soothing local "crop-to-cup" coffee and comforting cuisine, Figaro Coffee is an enduring and timeless brand that continues to serve good times with each cup and plate. The flagship concept of The Figaro Group, you'll find all the familiar flavors you've enjoyed through the years and more at Figaro Coffee.


I've featured Figaro Coffee as some of the first major local brands on my blog when I started (see more on my old posts at A Mid-Afternoon Breakfast at Figaro from way back in 2012 and Food News: Figaro's Cool Avalanche of Flavors also from eleven years back), and it feels good to reconnect again with some refreshing libations like this indulgent trio of beverages with the Caramel Macchiato (P 180-20 oz), Spanish Latte (P 180-20 oz) and Layered Matcha & Espresso (P 195-20 oz). And yes, they know coffee. 

The coffee experience remains at the heart and core of Figaro Coffee, and these specialty beverages complete an impressive list which includes both the classic and playfully inventive like Espresso, House Brewed Coffee, Americano, Cappuccino, Flat White, Cafe Mocha, Roasted Hazelnut Latte, Hot Chocolate and Hot Tea.

Figaro Coffee also offers a full range of refreshing Teas, FrappesFruit Juices and healthy Smoothies too.

The fresh bits and whole slices of fruit like apples and oranges adds layers of clean and vibrant flavors with each sip, preparing your palate for another big and tasty bite of the comforting dishes by Figaro Coffee. Salad, sandwiches and pasta? That's on the menu too at Figaro Coffee.


The innovative Half Salad + Half Sandwich (P 260) and Half Sandwich + Half Pasta (P 275) offers from Figaro Coffee allow you to customize your meal with infinite and tasty possibilities.

I began this post on Cafe Portofino with Angel's Pizza, and it seems appropriate to end this post with a "locally produced, heavenly made" slice of pizza which you can also find at the one stop shop from The Figaro Group. Better yet, you can also enjoy the same Double Deal (P 790) offer of two Big Family Pizzas from Angel's Pizza at Cafe Portofino. My Double Deal from Angel's Pizza included the signature all-time bestseller Creamy Spinach Dip...


...and the aptly named Toppings so Bongga! with pepperoni, ham, chorizo, bacon, beef, mushroom, Italian sausage, green bell pepper, onion, tomato, pineapple, black olive and Mozarella. That's everything and the kitchen sink. And then some.  


Each fully loaded slice bears the weight of all the different layers of toppings delivering complex yet dleicately balanced notes. The sheer number of toppings makes this pizza the ideal choice for anyone who wants it all in one slice and bite. From the rich blend of savory notes to the tart notes of pineapples and deep hints from the mushrooms and vegetables, Angel's Pizza faithfully recreates every pizza lover's dream with everything on a slice.
