There’s something about Pancake House that gravitates a lot of people with home-bound personalities like me and my family. My officemates who exude laidback personae and belong to closely-knit families also prefer Pancake House for lunch outs. If “family place” is the appeal that the owners would like generate out of Pancake House, I’d say it’s working.

In terms of taste, I’ve ordered its spaghetti like a broken record while my mother patronizes its burger steak. My husband loves its corned beef breakfast meal that comes with fresh fried eggs while my sister likes its salad. Price-wise, the food is rather expensive but you’ll want to forgive the high price tag for that homey ambiance you’re almost always about to experience when you are in Pancake House.

Reyes Barbeque is going places. It seems that it is already everywhere at least within the metro. Perhaps it is being franchised? I heard the owner of this establishment is related to the owner of the legendary Aristocrat Restaurant and this is why its barbeque chicken tastes practically the same.

Taste-wise, my husband says its chicken barbeque has the Davaoeno style which seems fine per my tastebuds. It would help if the outlet also serves garlic rice because we do not eat pork and this is what is added to its java rice. That’s why we’d end up ordering plain rice to go with the barbeque for now.

With this foodtrip we just had, it is tantamount to needing Fenphedra

If you happen to visit Bacolod City, one thing that you will not miss is to visit and have your lunch is in Connies Cansi House in Narra Avenue. You could see a bunch of cansi houses along Narra Avenue but Connie’s is the place to be when you talk about cansi “Ilongo Style Bulalo”.

Aside from cansi one of my favorite in Connie’s is their grilled blue marlin. I remember my late grandfather used fetch me from my boarding house an we would have a lunch in Connie’s. He would let me order what ever I want to eat in this outlet.

I am sure I will have to bring my diet pills again if I will be coming home this December because I will spend my vacation with my bottomless “cansi” soup and my grilled blue marlin in Connie’s.

I was thinking of one of the restaurant ins Negros where I could bring my wife if we had a chance to visit our hometown this December I am sure there is a lot of it in Bacolod I could not even finished it if I will only have two weeks to stay.

But I remember my Lolo Rudy the brother of my grandfather who living with his family in Canada right now. Every time he will visit Philippines and have a chance to visit Negros he will always ask to have our lunch in El’Ideal in Silay City.

El Ideal Bakery and Restaurant on Rizal Street, Silay City is one of the oldest restaurant in Silay or in Negros Occidental famous according to other for guapple pies buko pies and assorted delicacies but for me I really love the they cook their pancit and siopao. I am not sure if they are still serving foods besides breads because the last time I visited and able to east in El Ideal was way back in 2001 almost 8 years ago.

I will never forget my lolo Rudy will order lomi and pancit way back then but I never had a chance to be with thedm when he visited Negros last year. But for me if I will have a chance to vist Negros Again because I have a chance to pass El ideal Bakery and Restaurant in Silay on my way to Sagay City. But I am not sure because Negros airport was transferred to Silay already I am not sure if I could be able to pass El Ideal again

My wife and I always quarrel every time her appetite opens again for pasta and pizza. This is because she wants them in almost any restaurant but in my case, I love pasta and pizza of Sbarro especially its spaghetti. If you are going to ask me what pizza I like most, then it’s either that of Yellow Cab or Sbarro.

Yesterday, my wife asked me if we could have an early dinner at Sbarro and I have laid down a proposition only if she could order me full serving of meatball spaghetti and full pizza. Half order seems not enough for me anymore.

Last week is almost my food trip week. We visited a lot of restaurants and sampled lots of food. Since Baguio City is one of the places we have visited, we couldn’t let the day pass without eating again in the Chinese restaurant that we always visit every time we are in SM Baguio.

David Tea House is located at the third floor of SM Baguio and it still has my favorite crispy noodle in beef brisket, lemon chicken while my brother-in-law ordered a sizzling hot tofu, beef broccoli and chicken and corn soup.

I had to take orovo diet pills because we couldn’t really control our appetite at that time. We finished all the food we ordered unlike the last time we ate in that same place.

After a long joy ride coming from Hundred Islands in Alaminos, my brother-in-law’s brother suggested we try Ha!Ha! Bar and Restaurant for dinner. He says that what makes this place a bit different is that the British guy who owns the place also juggles as the chef. My other come-on for trying this out was the name itself. Ha! Ha!

When we came in, my initial reaction was “who would have thought that I’d find my kind of bar and restaurant in a quite secluded place in the city of Dagupan?” The place is not easy to find. From afar you’d think the place is just one of the eskinitas, yet the ambience is very appealing to me especially once inside the place.

There is a billiard hall, wine bar and the sight of the owner personally preparing the meals ordered on the first floor. I noted he didn’t have any assistant save for waiters which is why everything is on a first-come-first served basis. The second floor is a small room that can probably fit only about 20 persons. But the catch is that when you open the door towards the porch, you will be embraced by the view of a river. There are two tables within the porch area, by the way. Personally, I would have preferred to dine in this area if only we didn’t bring our kids.

On the other hand, I was halfway towards getting disappointed as it took nearly an hour for our order to arrive. But upon tasting its margherita pizza, spaghetti, vegetarian lasagna, chicken-potato-nacho n’onion ring sampler over rounds of softdrinks, I’d say you can forgive the lengthy preparation time. I can only wish the owner maintains its great food quality especially the freshness. I also wish that the restaurant will have a larger carports for its growing number of customer.

I have a feeling I’ll keep coming back to Ha! Ha! everytime I’d find myself in Dagupan.
