The Shitake Truffle pasta is divine! Will definitely comeback for more 💖 I was actually expecting a lot from the Laksa, it was okay. Maybe I prefer thinner noodles and was looking for creamy/milky soup base.
Big servings! Better order the sisig comes with sambal rice 💯 The rice is good for 2 persons already. Service is nice, dined in during GCQ 👏🏻
Big servings and good food!❤
People who love good food, books, arts, and music will enjoy Buku Buku Kafe. They have hefty food servings good to share with family and friends which makes this place a great hangout. There are lots of books to read, there’s an acoustic guitar available which you can use while waiting for your orders.
Eat, chill, study, and play. A great place to eat out with friends or maybe do some reviewing. Buku Buku has a wide selection of food combos and coffee to satisfy your needs. They offer affordable prices and the taste is well worth the price!
Bonus points for the aesthetics of the place. It looks great from the outside and it just gets better inside. Also, if you like playing TRPG, it's a good place to hold a session.

2nd time here but 1st time to use Zomato Gold.. At first, we weren't sure if the kids will like it since what we ordered were indonesian cuisine, we were suprised that they liked it.. Wew, we were almost ready to order the typical chicken meal. Haha. Food was great (serving is big) and the customer service was awesome. Will definitely recommend this place..
Buku-buku Kafe is far more a restaurant than a cafe, with a quirky, industrial themed interior and incredible food and drinks. . Buku-buku means “many books”. You’ll be surprise by the books hanging from the ceiling that will draw you in. . Interior walls are cladded in corrugated panel with painted murals on them, frame photos of old Manila in black & white and wallpaper made with pages from old books.
We had nasi goreng, pad thai, beef rendang.
Over all good experience. Good for sharing un mga portions.
Super loved the beef rendangz. My dad na picky eater loved it. Simot pati sauce. The nasi in the nasi goreng was yum pero the chicken and pork satay was dry. Medj overcooked for my liking. The pad thai was good but nothing spectacular.
Their service was great too. Kasi party of 3 kami. And they server said that the nasi goreng and rendang came with rice na good for two. Obviously too much rice for us 3. So they suggested nlng to change the rice to mixed veggie.
Thought that was superb! And we had extra portion of veggie to munch on.
Happy and super busog!
Brings me back to my school days where passing Math exams, finishing a long overdue project and getting rid of my pimples are my huge problems. Lol #nostalgia #bringmeback
A version of Maginhawa's Sev's where open mic happens, its refreshing to see a piece of Diliman in the South. Panalo! They also host exhibits, events and workshops of different kinds, you may call them for venue availability and future engagements.
Asian fusion - with a lot of twists! This is how I will describe @bukubukukafe 's menu. The flavors from different Southeast Asian countries rolled into one is something interesting to explore-- their specialties and best sellers are the best, two thumbs up 👍👍! Especially their 3-way (tofu, tuna and pork) Sisig, Malunggay Pesto and their
version of Laksa (curry and spices are just enough to give that right kick plus all the add-ons that made it a really filling option), in a huge bowl! Mouthful! 🍜😱

Honestly, when in SM Southmall it is hard not to miss Buku-Buku Cafe. From frontage to interiors, the overall vibe of the cafe is super inviting... especially to young artists. The creativity of the place is overflowing, sobrang energy boosting.
Good thing their food matches the top class faćade. They have asian cuisine with a western twist. They have the nostalgic food choices like Laksa, Sisig Nachos, Pesto pasta etc, which I’m sure you would enjoy.
My top faves where the Sisig Nachos, super generous serving and the mixture of cheese and sisig is the best! It’s good for 2-3pax (barkada size) but I’m sure one is enough (haha jk).
Their Tjree-way sisig is an eye-catcher as well. It is a combination of pork, tofu and fish, place on a sizzling plate, with egg in the middle. Owner recommends we add kalamansi to boost the flavor.
For the drinks, I had their mocha float - coffee with tablea chocolate, and whip cream on top. It has a bittersweet taste at first, but once the whip cream sips through, the sweetness arises.
Oh, their water is super cute. They have this ombre glass mug, that makes their water looks so fancy ❤️
Would give 5 stars but the serving time is SOOOOO LOOOONG :( Don’t eat here when you’re already starving. My go to is beef rendang ❤️ Food is amazing!
