Salad, Burger & Crepes at Cafe Breton

May 26, 2013

Cafe Breton
G/F Alfredo's Building
181 Scout De Guia St. cor. Tomas Morato Ave.,
Laging Handa, Quezon City

Two Sundays ago, my family and I were back at our favorite quaint cafe in Quezon City called Cafe Breton. This time we tried other items on the menu such as Chicken, Orange and Almond salad and Breton Mozzarella Burger. The crepes were so hard to resist so we chose two from our list of favorites- Adam & Eve and Hawaii 5-O.

 Chicken, Orange and Almonds PhP 165

Mixed greens with arugula leaves and sauteed chicken slices, tossed with fresh orange slices and almonds

This order of Chicken, Orange and Almonds salad has a generous serving of almond which my mom truly loves so she was very happy ; ) The mixed greens were all fresh, not a wilted one in sight.

We requested for two kinds of dressings- Thousand Island and Vinaigrette. The latter won hands down. You can also opt for Honey Mustard.

Other salads available are Mini Side Salad (PhP 55) and Salad Bretonne (PhP 175)- salad greens with arugula leaves mixed with shrimps and crabs. It will definitely be next on my list!

New Find: Burger Bar in Greenbelt 2

January 14, 2013

Burger Bar
2nd Fl. Greenbelt 2
Ayala Center, Makati

A friend invited me over to try out the newest burger in town- Burger Bar. In this restaurant, you can be The Boss because you can actually choose everything that goes in your burger, yes, even the bun!

The Hangover Burger (single patty) PhP 285

Onion griddles double patty Big Game Blend of hanger and brisket, yellow cheddar, crisp proscuitto, fried egg, arugula, caramelized onions, BBQ sauce & house aiola all on a sesame bun

Since all four of us are first-timers, we decided to give Burger Bar's hand-crafted, freshly ground on-site, custom blended patties a try. These are 100% pure beef and are seared only upon order.

The Hangover Burger was actually served last but it's sooo good that I am making it this post's primary photo. It doesn't hurt that it looks good too ; p

To taste a little bit of everything, each burger, except for The Lamb Burger, were divided into four. Imagine our fear of splitting the burger into four when The Hangover was served to us. At one point, we all thought that the egg yolk will spill over but it did not. We were all able to eat our fair share of the burger ; )

The Hangover is also available in double patties for PhP370. 

A Quick Lunch at Tokyo Cafe SM Megamall

December 5, 2012

Tokyo Cafe
3rd Floor Mega B
SM Megamall, Ortigas,
Mandaluyong City

I was in SM Megamall yesterday to replace the battery of DH's watch. After completing the task, my parents and I went looking for a decent restaurant to have our late lunch. We were supposed to dine in The French Baker but the restaurant was full and not a single staff seemed to bother to attend to us. We walked out and went in Tokyo Cafe instead ; p

 Ten-Ju PhP 248

Ten-Ju - Deep fried shrimp tempura with signature tempura sauce over steamed rice

I commend Tokyo Cafe for coming out with dishes that look almost exactly the same as the photos on the menu. I was half expecting 3 tiny shrimps but I got relatively large ones (as seen in the photo above).

Ginger & radish (for Tempura sauce) and a side salad were served together with Ten-Ju.

If you are on a diet, Tokyo Cafe offers Light Rice Meals. These are dishes on the menu which are small meals that's light on your pocket. It is ideal for brunch or snack. Find out more about it after the break....

Flapjacks Blockbuster Favorite- It's Back... Better... Best!

Commercial break!

Flapjacks 

Greenhills Theater Mall

San Juan City

Flapjacks is bringing it all back! Presenting the comeback of Flapjacks' blockbuster favorite! I was given a voucher to sample the items on their "Back... Better... Best" menu.

mango exotica (lunch) PhP195

My parents and I used the voucher last Tuesday after my work out at the gym nearby. I know what you are thinking! Don't judge me, ok? At least I work out before I eat ; p

I gave the voucher to the manager and he immediately acknowledged it. As I browsed through the menu that was handed to us by the waiter, a salad called Mango Exotica immediately caught my eye. 

Mango Exotica is made up of romaine lettuce topped with slices of mangoes, croutons, California raisins, grilled chicken and tangy mango vinaigrette. Dried cranberries replaced the almond slivers. 

My mom could not stop raving about the salad. I caught her saying "Hmmm ang sarap!" as she was munching on it lol Crunchy veggies and the cranberries really made the difference. Mango Exotica is also available in Regular portion for only PhP325.
