Brera Delicatessen

You know how you say that you're going to do better and post more reviews and content and then your lazy self rebels and just stops writing all together? Posting photos of home-made dishes, asking people to make them for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner, that have no recipes attached to them? No? Well, that's what's been happening on my Instagram page, my Facebook page, and my website.
For those who don't know, I actually run my own start-up and running a start-up means you have to do majority, if not, all, of the work by yourself. Not to make excuses, but hoping that you excuse me anyway, it has been quite hectic, not with life, but more so in my head and having a cluttered brain is more difficult to work with than having to work in a cluttered work space.
That ends the apologizing portion of this post..... On with the food review!
Today, or tonight, depending on when and what time I post this, I will be reviewing Brera Delicatessen. Brera Delicatessen, is kind of like the upgraded version of Säntis Delicatessen. I say this not only because I'm a fan of Brera and their food but because it's not just a Delicatessen where you buy your cold cuts, meats, cheeses, etc. It's also a place where you're able to dine with your friends and family whilst shopping for your favorite wine and exotic meats and cheeses.
I don't know if I'm weird or if this is normal for everybody, more likely the latter, but there's something about seeing meats and cheeses for sale, and on display that I find, both, entertaining and comforting. (If you think that I'm enthusiastic and weird with cheese and meat shops, wait 'til you see me go into wholesale supermarkets, where you have to buy in bulk or not at all.)
Plus, I know it's not a popular opinion, but, in my head, outsourced/imported meat, cheeses, and/or wines are better than the ones we have here locally. Some people might hate me for that comment but, really think about it, have you ever gone on a road trip and spot a well-fed cow? I've only ever seen anorexic cows with their ribs sticking out, soaked in sunshine, eating barely there grass. Not that Säntis sells local meat, cheeses, and wines, or maybe they do but just the really legit and good ones, I just wanted to state certain things that bother my brain sometimes.
Anyway, my actual point is that Säntis is solely a delicatessen and it has never, not to my knowledge, offered its customers a dine-in experience.
WHAT WE ORDERED:
Don't judge me, it's been quite a while since I've had this photo and I've stocked it for so long that I couldn't really remember what we had. I only remember the 2-3 best parts of that meal.We may have ordered some type of salad, we may have ordered some type of risotto but that was completely erased by my brain, not because they weren't good or were subpar but because the dishes I remember were truly worth being stored in my brain's memory drive, which, most of the time, only stores up to about 2GB of information at a time.
If you ever come across one of Brera Delicatessen's branches, make sure to try:
Wagyu Burger: It's a little on the expensive side with it being 550 a burger but, within that burger, is the moistest, if there even is such a word, meat patty you'll ever have. For an additional 50 pesos, you could add on your choice of cheese, choices being Cheddar, Mozzarella, Dutch or Gouda. For an additional 75 pesos, you could add on your choice of charcuterie, which really is just a French term for cold cuts, choices being Prosciutto, Hungarian, and Kielbasa. Really, 550 isn't too bad considering that they include a serving of salad and hand-cut fries with your 1/2 pound weighing burger.
Any of their Cheesecake: Their cheesecakes are actually outsourced, I know because I'm the type of person to ask business questions that don't have anything to do with me or how I live my life, I just like knowing. I also know this because I have that type of palate memory, which store all the memories I have of good tasting food.
They're outsourced from this place in Tagaytay called Don Limone. Now, I know some of you are wondering where that is in Tagaytay, it is a little isolated and if you're not really looking for it, you probably wouldn't see it. Ask Waze, not me. It's probably more reliable. Point is it's difficult to find so keep your eyes peeled.
Their cheesecakes are rich and creamy just like a cheesecake should be. The important part is that they don't use any gelatine or agar either. I know this because, again, I asked the servers of Don Limone, now, they could have been lying to me but, once you try one of their cheesecakes, you'd know that they weren't.
(Cheesecake Best Sellers: Limoncello, New York, & Ube)
THAT'S ALL.... HAVE A HAPPY FOOD TRIP!
BYYYYEEEEEE!!!!!!!
