Having that craving for champorado on the wee hours of the night? Or your favourite tapsilog eatery…read moredoes not have tinapa? Or pancakes perhaps? Fret no more Eastern Manila people! Kanto Freestyle Breakfast saves our midnight cravings! Yes yes, I've written about breakfast restaurants already, kasi I love breakfast food right? I really don't like driving far from Marikina/Antipolo whenever I have this midnight cravings kasi, whats the point of falling into your cravings when you need to drive for 20mins?!? Kanto Freestyle for me is really just a stone's throw away kaya its my lifesaver for some midnight urge. I personally love their champorado kasi instead of milk, they use all-purpose cream. Its creamier and makes my champorado thicker. They try to serve their meals in nice-neatly plated presentations pero for me, what's more important is the taste. Ayun, I'd finish a bowl of champorado in less than 5 minutes. That's craving!

Who isn't into breakfast food all day, everyday?! I know I am! Whether they may be cereals or…read morefrench toast or silog meals or pancakes and waffles, I am so down for breakfast grub any time of the day! One of my favorite breakfast food haunts would be Kanto Freestyle Breakfast. Very laidback kasi ang Kanto - no extravagant wall art or super plush couches to sit on. Think of it as a place to get hangover food after a solid drinking sesh with the barkada. No pretentions but just good breakfast grub! My favorite would be their tapsilog and tocilog rice dishes plus their pancakes! Sobrang saraaaaap and sobrang busooooog! Blueberry pancakes are super delicious, cannot stop getting these! Kanto also serves cereals, although I feel it's a bit too pricey for me. Parang ako nalang ako bibili ng cereals at gagawa sa bahay if I wanted that. But then again, whatever floats your boat! This 24/7 food haunt is definitely special! It;s like getting a decent home cooked meal outside of the comforts of your home! So if you're feeling like getting that yummy breakfast food any time of the day, check out Kanto B!

Conti's has been around for a long time now. It was new when I was still a kid and if memory serves…read moreme right the one in BF is the first one to have ever opened. Anyway, Conti's is a restaurant but is mainly famous for their baked goodies and cakes. Their brownies are an ever present sight. In fact, there was a time that I couldn't go to a Christmas party, funeral, or whatever without seeing someone eating something from Conti's. Usually it would be a box of brownies that people were passing around. In terms of cake, I would strongly recommend the Mango Bravo, surprised it's not cheesecake? It's huge and very sweet and one of the few cakes that I love that doesn't have cheese on it. Usually my sisters share the slice because of its mammoth size, but I for one prefer to go solo on it.

I've known the Pancake House menu since I was a little kid, and there are only two ever items on…read morethe menu that I have ordered: one, the waffles (toppings are mood-dependent) and two, the three-piece Classic Pan Fried Chicken. The golden brown waffles are served with a generous serving of butter and maple syrup, and each bite has a light crunch (especially the edges) with a soft, chewy texture, just the way I like it. The fried chicken is so good, I have a hard time describing how well-seasoned it is. It's served very juicy, straight from the pan, and the gravy is just asking to be refilled for seconds. Now, the menu has expanded to include an all-day breakfast menu, some pasta dishes and healthy options with soup and salad. I frequent this branch a lot, because my girlfriend and I come here whenever we get checked up at St. Luke's hospital, not too far from here. It's always a great treat to have comfort food after a doctor's visit.

I'm not sure if the powder really makes much of a difference, but then again, it somehow makes the crepe look a bit more sophisticated. It was also my first time to try their Cafe Liegeois (pronounced Lee-Jwah), containing cold espresso, coffee ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup. It's basically a coffee float of sorts and it was fairly good. It went well with my crepe but either of the two can actually stand alone.

Cafe Breton has a lot to offer but in all honesty, the only reason we go to Cafe Breton is for the desert. They have a lot of desert crepes to offer. My particular favorite is the Tarzan. It's this simple crepe of banana and condensed milk. I then order it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. By the time I'm done eating the crepe, a lot of the ice cream would have melted. The combination of the vanilla ice cream, butter, and condensed milk leaves this really sweet syrup in my plate that I like to scoop up and sip using my spoon. Try doing the same when you're here, it's fantastic and cheaper than some of the stuff you'll see on their menu.

The dish was delicious and brought back nostalgic flavors from my childhood. The coffee was the highlight for me, smooth, medium-bodied, and pleasantly bold without any tanginess, exactly how I like it. I also ordered the Iced Ube Latte, which was fantastic on its own and paired surprisingly well with the meal. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the hospitality of the staff. Their warmth and attentiveness made a world of difference amid the stress and rush of catching flights at a busy airport. Great food, excellent coffee, and outstanding service made this a memorable stop before our journey.

The food came out quick, within 10-15mins. But the taste was lacking. Im used to mom&pop style Kimchi fried rice from Korean American fusion restaurants in California and while this is a modified version, it was tiny in portion, and you can barely taste the kimchi. for me, it was not spicy at all, and the egg was teeny tiny. It was ₽100 cheaper than the normal fare (like their japanese styled spaghetti etc) but it barely hit the spot. I demolished half my moms decadent chocolate cake just to feel full. actually i still didnt feel full. long story short, dont order the kimchi cauliflower rice if you think you are getting hungry. The other thing that galled me was after we did a bill out (which is when you ask for the bill and closed it out), the servers FLATOUT IGNORED ME. This UCC is inside Resortsworld, a large casino and I was waiting for my family who sauntered over to the slots. Anyway, I didnt get water, nobody asked me if i wanted to order anything else, nothing. Kinda rude. 40mins ago I actually asked one of the servers if one of the booths was empty. it was but she was insisting they were all full. I waited til one of the booths patrons were visibly leaving, and said to the same server that I was transfering. She said ok. I might get a drink or bread pudding. But i dont think they even have free wifi. Oh, I asked for a menu 5 minutes ago, but they havent come back for it yet. Today is a thursday but it seems very busy in resorts world, which is where this UCC is located. We had to park at the Hilton and cross the bridge. Theres parking in resorts world, hilton/grand wing, and valet options as well.

Shared a cajun pork belly with rice meal, and a two-piece fried chicken with rice meal. I have always loved Pancake House' fried chicken! The batter is not too heavy, so you can really savor the crisp, lightly-batter chicken skin. The fried chicken is always juicy and perfectly-cooked. The gravy here is the best! Tip: add just a few drops of Knorr seasoning to make it perfect. The Cajun-spiced pork belly was tender and perfectly-cooked, and is served with mashed potatoes, and corn and carrots on the side. If I had one minor comment, it is that the portion of meat I was served was smaller and a bit too fatty unlike the last time I had this dish. I still enjoyed this dish though.

I was able to try a Mary Grace cheese roll and was impressed at how great it tasted. I have heard…read morethat this cafe serves hot chocolate that is on par with the world famous Angelina café in Paris--which I have also tried and yelped. We were greeted and were ushered to a table. It was hot inside. Unpleasant-temp wise. A big gaudy fan was inside blowing hot air and was not helping at all. Tables were decorated with letters to Mary Grace--who apparently is an actual person. A very nice touch in terms of decor. We came before lunch and were not particularly hungry so we ordered a sponge cake, the hot chocolate and 2 fruit shakes for our party of 4. The hot chocolate was good same consistency and same great taste as the one from Angelina's so the reviews were accurate. I waited for my mango shake. Waited. And waited still. It has been more than 30 mins so we asked for the status on those shakes. The server obviously forgot because we saw her just about to make them. Thats a 2 star deduction. All in all experience was okay at this branch. Might want retrain servers on order read back for accuracy.

Who doesn't know what The Best Taco in Town is? And I mean, it really is the best taco in town. Sometimes, I would even order some spaghetti, crunch my taco and mix it in with the pasta. It's just absolutely perfect. Their grilled ham and cheese? Perfect! Even for mayonnaise haters out there. Their friend chicken? Oh my goodness, you know it's restaurant food, but it tastes like really good (and I mean REAAAALLY good) home cooking. Crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. What I love though about Pancake House (aside from their pancakes and waffles of course) is their Beef Tapa. Whenever I would miss my family because they're out of town or I'm home alone, this helps make me feel better. It's probably because of all the sentimental value Pancake House has given me over the years though. You can also try their Chocolate Marble Waffle and ask for some extra peanut butter. Yum! Their banana pancakes aren't so bad either, especially on rainy days (and while listening to that Jack Johnson song).
