- The iced coffee with jelly served at Cabsat Cafe in Baguio City, Philippines, symbolizes the uniquely sweet coffee culture of the Philippines. Drinks enjoyed with added jelly are also seen in other Southeast Asian countries and can be savored as a dessert. Such beverages not only offer refreshment in the hot Philippine climate but also serve as a treat. The name "Cabsat," which means "sibling" in Ilocano, reflects the importance of family and brotherhood in Filipino culture, making visitors feel a sense of familiarity. Hearing the anecdote about the author being lured by a Ghibli character to order a drink makes one think of him being guided to the cafe like Mei being effortlessly led by Totoro. Next time, it would be great to see him attempt a meal review inspired by Nausicaä, akin to dining in the Valley of the Wind!
