FACE-OFF: Breakfast Places To Warm The Heart

I guess everyone would agree that a good meal (or make that an outstanding meal) may totally eradicate one's blues. But a good brekkie meal may lift you up to celestial heights. I've been going to a few breakfast places lately trying out that quintessential breakfast food. Those fluffy, heavenly discs best serve with some sprinkling of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, a slab of butter and drizzled with lots and lots of syrup. I'm talking about of course, the much heralded pancakes. A classic breakfast meal wouldn't be complete without them. 'But how about the sinangag (fried rice)?', you might ask. 'Certainly a classic Pinoy breakfast meal wouldn't be complete without it?' Well, I might talk about breakfast meals Pinoy-style on a future post. For now, the pancakes and other brekkie food will be the main focus.

A Day With Henry & Gael

I got a private message from Henry on Facebook wanting us to meet before he set off to Singapore for a month long vacation. He said Gael will be joining us as well. I was only unsure about Henry's specified date (which according to him its non-negotiable because he'll be busy packing and running some errands right after for his impending travel) for us to meet since I'm also expecting another get-together of some sort with Lei and company. Good thing, Lei informed me thru text that the planned get-together will be postponed till next week. The outcome of that get-together with Lei and the rest of my IMPI family was detailed on my Cafe Cristina post.
