Blushing Sneakerhead – by Mariah Christhel: City of Seven Lakes

HELLO FILIPINO PRIDE! I just love seeing old Filipino art. From antique houses to its furniture, to art pieces and Filipino architectures, these makes me appreciate Philippine history even more. "Nakakaproud". And one Sunday noon, we decided to go eat at a resto-museum where everything is art, at Tia Maria's Sining at Kultura! It was just walking distance from our house so we had no problem in locating the said place.

Tia Maria's Sining at Kultura is a taste of sophistication with a dash of art and culture. They serve delicious Filipino cuisine while showcasing different art.
Upon entering the premise, I was just at awe on how the beautiful the place was, from its interiors to certain artworks mounted on the wall... everything was just breath taking!

Tia Maria's Sining at Kultura Komiks Museum

The resto-museum screamed Sining at Kultura! Located in the first room was the Komiks Museum. It showed great contributions on Philippine art history, from the first comics to its first comic artist.

In the other room, Tia Maria's Sining at Kultura have displays of great paintings and miniature art. They also have actual tea sets that can be used by the guests.

Ughh the place just takes you back in time to the good old days!!!

Salisbury steak (ala carte). 320 pesos

Kare-kare. 480 pesos

When it comes to food, Tia Maria's Sining at Kultura's food selection is minimal and at a higher price point (~300 pesos/head). But considering the place itself, it was reasonable since maintaining art is expensive. The place also seemed exclusive, which may be a good thing (or not, to a few) — it has a homey feel and it can only accommodate up to 40 guests, 50 guests max.

From the menu, we ordered the Salisbury Steak and Kare-kare. Their food tasted like Filipino classics, which has a nostalgic ring to it. Waiting time for the food was long, but you won't actually feel it since you can roam around the resto-museum while waiting for the food. "You said you won't actually feel the longevity of the waiting time, how did you know it was?" Because we took so many photos! That's how we knew it was long.

*Most of their food are good for 2-3 persons, but you can also order solo meals.
