Pasta Boo at Bo's Coffee - 5f SM Megamall

Dear Papa P,

The carbonara at Bo's Coffee is one of the reasons why I hate dining at places that charge too much for something you can do at home for less than half its price. You pay too much for something and you expect a delicacy.

The pasta, about half of my small palm, was dry. The sauce which is about two spoons seem like it needs to be thawed. Then, as an unfortunate surprise, you see that there is about 3 spoons of lukewarm water underneath the pasta making it a watery, cold-sauced dry pasta pile of garbage. This is joined by one slice of cold wheat bread cut in half. Let's repeat: Cold wheat bread.

This for P185. Absolute waste of money.

This after the horrific customer service at the counter where the staff talked to me in a demeaning loud tone because she can't hear me. I have sore throat, Maria Diana. I can hear you, you can't hear me. I'm the one who should be raising my voice.

I found quite a joy in their brownies which sells for P50 and it's unfortunate that I ate the brownie first. Eating the brownie before eating the carbonara was like getting your nails done before going home to a garbage can.

I really hate the place. Only three people working on a crowded saturday. It would've been understandable if Maria Diana was grouchy because they are tired from having everything done, but tables are dirty and orders are not being handed out in a timely manner. So, no, the job is not being done right and so I will not even try to understand.

The best thing you can do to be pleased with Bo's Coffee is order brownies to-go. That way, you don't have to deal with rude staff, untidy tables, slow service and, yes, watery cold carbonara with cold wheat bread.

Pray for the Bo's Coffee staff, Papa P. Because I won't.
