Illy Caffe @ Paseo Center
Illy Caffe originally started an Italian coffee company, which eventually ventured into creating their owncafes. This is the ideal place for people who love to have a conversation over a flavorful coffee after a longday’s work. One of their popular items on the menu that you can get is the Fettuccine al Tartufo. It mightseem as simple as creamy truffle oil on fettuccine, but the secret behind it is the lingering but notoverpowering flavor of truffle, which keeps everyone coming back for more.
