First Impressions
Chic and high quality food at a price to match, the place looked cozy while being fashionable at the same time. Interior wise, the huge chairs wasn't the best choice in such a tiny spot. But they made it look nice enough so it worked.
Reality
The prices were cheaper than I had anticipated, which was totally amazing. I'd probably come back there for the sake of their tea and the fish and chips. SM Manila isn't a mall that I frequent, but maybe because of this place I might just come back. Portions were fair and the taste was pretty good. Don't expect anything fancy looking though as their plating isn't on the fancy side. It's more reminiscent of a day at home and mom just wants to feed you everything the fridge has to offer.
"All Day Filipino Breakfast" is their main theme, and it's the thing that makes them sell it seems. As most of the tables had egg, sausages and fried rice on their tables, I found out why it was such a favorite. And it seems, it delivers even with the decent price tag.

Favorites and Taste The Fish N' Chips lacked color, it was a little too pale to be appetizing but then a bite from it and you'll know it's not just pretending to be Fish N' Chips. The price is similar to other diners that offer the same thing. Though the cook on those are far superior, in taste it doesn't really lose out. The fries are normal, but I enjoyed the cuts on these as possibly they're the normal cut of fries compared to the thicker wedges that could be served with this classic dish. A favorite of mine is probably their selection of tea. I got a Jamine Milke tea for a dollar. That's relatively cheaper than MOST places as usually milk tea at this quality costs around 2 dollars to 3 dollars (Normally around 90 to 120php) |
Customer Service
Not too suffocating, and not at all lousy
They were fast, efficient and friendly enough that you'd get to eat at your own pace while being taken care of. The kind of service I really enjoy.
Summary
Will probably go back there, even if it's just FOR THIS place.
The interiors are lovely, though it reminds me of a cupcake place more than an all-day breakfast place but all in all it works!
