I first heard of this cafe-resto from a classmate in med school, April G. She went out one time with a bunch of friends and posted it on her Facebook account. So I was quite intrigued, seeing that the place was cozy and they really had a good time. So I asked her for the location and her feedback, which were both good.
It took quite some time before I decided to give it a try since I live in one of the south districts of the city whereas Banilad is going up north. Since my boyfriend was in town, he suggested that we eat at somewhere we haven't tried. Now a few days back, my bestfriend was in town and he said that his younger bro mentioned Fudge. So our fate was sealed, we were to dine at Fudge on a Saturday night.
Surprisingly, there were already a handful of patrons in the establishment, and I could tell that most of them were not newbies. About half of the patrons were photo enthusiasts below 21 years of age with their SLR cameras, converging to show their latest shots. Anyhow, the late 20's patrons were usually couples out for dinner, who also wanted to try Fudge.

| CMC (Cucumber, Melon, Calamansi) |
So we started our order with this drink, the CMC. It stands for cucumber, melon, calamansi. Well, I might be wrong with what the "M" stands for since I'm about 2 weeks late in posting this one. I couldn't really taste the melon, but then there's some lemon in this drink and cucumber is the main ingredient in this one. It tastes herb-y, pulpy, and slushy at the same time but it tastes good nonetheless. Not too sweet and not too sour, and reminiscent of the citrus and herb drink from The Lemongrass. The table also comes with complementary garlic bread (sorry no photo, but they do have one in the Fudge Facebook account). The loaf is similar to the one served in Grand Majestic for the patatim. The garlic is served on the side, a complete head that is. It has a buttery consistency so you just spread it on the loaf. I had some apprehension at first, seeing that it was a complete head of garlic. But it did taste great and not overpowering or salty at all.

| Chicken Cordonbleu |
This is what my partner ordered for himself. It looks like your regular chicken cordonbleu but the surprise comes when you start getting a portion of it on your fork. It's crispy on the outside but not dry at all. They have some sort of a secret sauce or marinade that oozes out once you stick your knife in but it tastes real good. It's the best cordonbleu that I have tasted to date. Kudos to the chef!

| Z something... (my bad) |
And this is what I had, it started with a letter Z. Too hard for me to remember but it was quite long. It's pork tenderloin in a creamy sauce with mushrooms and hash browns on the side. The hash browns were really good, the pork really tender and the cream was not overpowering and did not leave any aftertaste. Their entrees don't usually come with rice so you have to order it as an add-on. They also serve pasta, they have a wide array of cakes and pastries, and most of all, they have an all-day breakfast. I didn't have any space for dessert so I decided to skip it and try some the next time I drop by.
Price wise, it's within Bigby's range and less, and anybody can find something for themselves be it chicken, beef, veggies, pork, pasta and sandwiches. So I definitely recommend this place for your dates, family meals, and a place for your downtime. They also have free wifi connection for customers. So tucker in to your heart's content.
