Hearty Meals and Indulgent Desserts Await at Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café in Ayala Malls by the Bay

You love their famous Nama Doughnuts, Cow Cow Ice Cream, Soufflé Pancakes and Milk Pies made with the finest dairy products like Jersey milk fresh from Hokkaido at their countless stalls and kiosks in the metro. But Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory is more than just indulgent creamy desserts. Savory dishes also take the spotlight made with the same intricate and meticulous touch as their flagship dessert creations. Welcome to Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café in Ayala Malls by the Bay...

With so many tempting options at Ayala Malls by the Bay, it's becoming increasingly rare to enjoy your main courses, dessert and even coffee all in one place. Until you find Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café. That's right, it isn't your usual kiosk but a full service café with an extensive menu from savory mains all the way to desserts and coffee. Step inside Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café for a satisfying meal followed by their popular sweet offerings in Ayala Malls by the Bay... 

Exciting shopping and dining has a new destination. Ayala Malls by the Bay also offers some tasty possibilities...

...like Japan's famous Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café. The brand's very first café in the metro followed by its second Estancia Mall location (more on my previous post, Savory and Sweet: Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Cage Opens Second Branch at Estancia Mall from four years back), Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café serves up some of the most comforting and hearty meals you'll find by the bay. At Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café, the savory menu gets equal billing as their signature desserts. 

So pick your spot and give your appetite free reign. 

While waiting for your order, give in to the urge of bringing a few boxes of Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café's pure and creamy indulgences back home...

...each made using the finest ingredients including Hokkaido's legendary dairy products for rich and elegantly unrestrained flavors. 

Coffee is the day's first order of business, and the Hazelnut Iced Coffee (P 160) with its blend of premium coffee, milk and hazelnut syrup just hits all the right notes to open up your palate before the savory dishes about to be served. 

A few more sips of the Hazelnut Iced Coffee and the first of three dishes are served to your table.

The creamy richness of cheese makes its way to Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café's popular Doria selections with the Shrimp Doria (P 520). The comforting rice dish with soft and fluffy rice pilaf and succulent sautéed shrimps draped in Bechamel sauce and grated cheese brings layers of flavorful richness with each spoonful. The briny sweetness of the shrimps are enhanced by the decadent notes of the silky smooth Bechamel and grated cheese that will have you going for another spoonful. And another. Other equally tempting variants of the popular rice dish include the Mushroom Doria (P 520) and the Chicken Doria (P 490). 

Imagine thin layers of tender pork breaded and deep-fried for that delectable play on textural contrasts and you have the Pork Mille-fuille Furai (P 430) with Mozzarella, fresh basil and rich tomato sauce on smooth and buttery Truffled Mash. Each distinct note from the various ingredients of the dish come together in a flavorful weave. 

The savory richness of the crisp and juicy pork are perfectly tempered by the vibrant tartness of the tomatoes elegantly smoothened by the Mozzarella and Truffled Mash. A top pick from their menu of savory mains, other options include the 48-Hour Roasted Beef Belly (P 720), Salmon Teriyaki Gratin (P 650), Molten Hamburg Pilaf (P 390) and Grilled Chicken Teriyaki (P 380).

Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café also offers a selection of hearty Omurice creations like the Hayashi Beef Omurice (P 430) with tomato rice pilaf, fork-tender beef, fresh tomatoes, onions and egg for a full and complete meal. Get your spoon ready...

Beneath the perfectly executed omelet is a mound of soft tomato rice pilaf for another crave-busting meal at Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café. From the tender beef in thick gravy to the tomato rice pilaf and omelet, the Hayashi Beef Omurice is another solid number from the extensive menu. 

But do save room for dessert. That's how you complete the experience at Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café. Pancakes, in that signature Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café style? Game on...

The Créme Brulée Pancake (P 300) is a stacked treat with two tall and fluffy pancakes slathered in indulgent sweet and salty Vanilla Anglaise topped by a torched sugar crust. Pillow-soft yet dense and rich, the Créme Brulée Pancake is a level up from your usual pancake with that signature spin by Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café. Just like anything Japanese, the signature dessert becomes an exquisite expression of meticulous execution. That first bite just slowly melts on the palate releasing a lingering richness from the Vanilla Anglaise leading to another slice and bite. 

Other pancake options include the Original Pancake (P 230) with Nama Cream and maple syrup, the Summer Berry Pancake (P 350) with mixed berry compote and Nama Cream and the Chocolate Pancake (P 300) with ganache and chocolate powder. Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café also offers a tempting selection of waffles if that's your jam. 

A freshly-brewed Latte (P 140) caps your indulgent yet comforting feast at Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café. It just doesn't get better than this. Savory and comforting mains, decadent desserts and soothing coffee all in one place prepared and executed in that intricate Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café style.
