Divine Zeal

I cannot emphasize enough how much Casetta del Divino Zelo (in Silang, Cavite) is my favorite happy place to get comfort food--even before their new renovations and expansion.

An authentic Italian oven is being installed...
all the better to bake goodies with, my dear!

The pasta is wonderful and reasonably priced. Featured below is the marinara at P200. The best lasagna I have ever tasted is served here--I now know how Garfield feels. The aglio olio and the veggie pasta are both yummy and costs only around P100 each. Their pasta dishes are a definite must-try.

And if you ever get to taste their granitas... you'll probably get a second one. P65 only, it is worth every drop.

Nabusog ka na, nakatulong ka pa because the sisters who run the little cafe support mothers in crisis pregnancies. What more can you ask for? Food for your tummy, food for other people's tummies, allowing mothers to keep their babies... win-win-win!  

Afterwards, you can drop by their neighbor Ilog Maria to get various bee-related products from virgin honey to soaps, shampoo, and moisturizer. 

Do visit. Your tastebuds will thank you!
