1870 Cookie Cartel at McKinley Hill
For those with a passion for dessert, 1870 Cookie Cartel is an essential destination. The bakery has artistically reimagined the classic cookie, crafting them as “heavyweight” specimens—meaning they are generously thick, irresistibly chunky, and bursting with rich, melted chocolate.
These are far from the typical thin, crispy cookies; instead, they feature a dense, soft center that yields with every bite, making them the ultimate indulgence for anyone seeking a serious, high-quality sweet treat that delights the senses.

Mama Lou’s at Twin Lakes Shopping Village
Mama Lou’s offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere where Italian cuisine is celebrated with warmth and authenticity. The kitchen is renowned for crafting dishes that expertly balance indulgent, rich flavors with fresh, vibrant ingredients.
Signature offerings include Lucio’s Truffle Pasta, featuring perfectly al dente pasta coated in a creamy truffle sauce, and thin-crust pizzas topped with a variety of fresh ingredients, finished with a drizzle of honey and a scattering of peppery arugula.
Opening soon, Mama Lou’s aims to become a beloved local gem, offering delicious, handcrafted meals ideal for a friendly family lunch or a quiet, romantic dinner.

Koibito’s World of Gelato at Southwoods Mall
Koibito’s World of Gelato offers a delightful selection of Japanese-style gelato renowned for its irresistibly creamy texture that is indulgent yet never too heavy. The brand prides itself on using only real, honest ingredients, resulting in one-of-a-kind flavors such as Batangas Tablea, a rich and velvety chocolate derived from traditional Filipino cacao, and Kapeng Barako, a bold and aromatic coffee with a robust, intense flavor.
Scheduled to open on March 6, Koibito’s provides an ideal ending to any meal, offering a cool, sweet treat that balances lightness with satisfying richness, perfect for those seeking a refreshing yet decadent dessert experience.
By turning simple flavors into something extraordinary, every dish serves as a reminder that comfort is an evolving experience. For updates, visit megaworld-Lifestylemalls.com or call (02) 8462-8888.
