the past weeks are a bit busy. ordered computers, installed a network, made a wifi connection, yadayadayada... my dad got out of the hospital... and still recovering.
my dad got hospitalized in baguio, the summer capital. go to baguio whenever the heat is killing you.
on the evening after being discharged, we treated dad in a nice restaurant at baguio. it's the 50's diner.
food is great and very affordable. serving is totally more than that of a typical pinoy can eat.one great order is their 50's club sandwich. the club sandwich has chunky chicken sandwich inside...and when i say chunky, i mean real big chunks of chicken!!! totally incomparable to the citibank chicken sandwich.
it includes the basic cheese, lettuce and tomato and folded cold cuts. bread is superb. the loaf is soft, toasted rightly and sliced in 1 and a half inch thick!!!! but the thickness of the bread still can't overpower the
filling! if the bread is big, the filling is even bigger! this club had sidings of buttered carrots and a heap of french fries.we tried other stuff and the serving is still good. we got the tower of pancakes. i got that one even on dinner...just to see what it is. layers
of pancakes with bananas, jams, creams and syrups in between.my mom got a "SHE". it's a platter of different stuff. it's a sort of a sampler designed for ladies. but the serving is not for a very demure lady. it has a piece of everything...chicken, a nice pork chop, fish fillet, wad of
fries and buttered veggies.we also got the seafood mix. this is another platter of different stuff of grilled seafoods. i ordered an extra seafood mix and brought it home to manila for my hunny's pack lunch. it's worth the effort for the very affordable price.
i tried their spaghetti. its beefy sauce tastes a bit sweet. the bonus is that this reminds me of the pasta we eat when i was a child at the old foodarama fast food center near the old quad movie house which is now the glorietta.
