Gayuma is a tagalog word for love potion or love charm. Who would not be interested in what this place has to offer? I first heard of this place from a TV show. A fellow blogger, Bryce, and I have ear-notched this as a must go to.
With us are two great friends, who also got curious of what this place is all about.
We called in advance for a reservation. It was a rainy Saturday evening and from Mandaluyong to Quezon City, traffic can be horrible. We wanted to make sure we get ourselves good seats.
The place is homey and very simple. I didn't get to see the second floor though. It feels like home and, I guess, it's exactly what the owner wants you to feel. There's a certain touch of mystery and darkness in it, which makes it even more interesting.
The fun journey starts when you decide what food to order. I guarantee a smile or a giggle when you browse through their list of dishes. Here are what we ordered (the captions are taken from their menu):
 |
| Let this creamy combination of ox tongue and mushroom drive you wild. |
 |
| Bistek pinoy made to make you fall in love. |
 |
| Magical take on the well-loved Filipino dinuguan with your choice of sides. |
 | ||
| Tomatoes and fresh basil roasted in garlic olive oil and drowned in cheese. Want the hottie version? Ask that it be added with pepper flakes. |
And there's always room for desserts:
 |
| Rich chocolate mercilessly topped with butterscotch, cream and chocolate bits. |
 |
| With a sprinkle of magic dust and a swish of a wand, seduced with this foamy Australian fruity delight. |
You may also find interest in reading some of their wall posts such as The Top Ten Aphrodisiacs, How to Obtain Love from a Specific Person, etc. There are also days when they offer free (or paid) tarot reading too. Am not into witchcraft, or potions, or fortune telling, but this is definitely a must-try experience.
