I see myself back at IHOP checking out a new reason to visit. IHOP Restaurant in BGC launched handcrafted made to order sandwiches that come in three variants – experience the new item in their menu, Griddle Melts.

These sandwiches are not your ordinary sandwiches as each is served on artisan sourdough bread with a choice of three fluffy omelets in large breakfast sandwich.

Big choices that give you value for your money as any order come with your choice of hash browns or seasoned fries. Full sandwich can be had at P385 and P325 for a half order. I say, always go full throttle.

On the Table

Spinach, Roasted Pepper and Cheese Melt

Sautéed fresh spinach in a fluffy egg omelet topped with roasted red peppers and onions, melted Provolone, Parmesan and Pepper Jack cheeses make up my favorite of the three. I know I am biased, 3 cheeses. How can I resist?

IHOP Philippines, OPENS in Fort

Last Sunday, it was bonding day with my little brotha and I decided to bring him to IHOP for brunch. Since I never followed through after our initial runs of jogging, I finally decided to just do the next best exercise… EAT. Now, who’s with me? Raise your hands up! Aye Aye!

We get to IHOP by 1130am and the line was way too long, it was discouraging. I still went up to the reception and decided to leave my name and number, unfortunately, they don’t take your numbers to advise if your table is free. They want you to wait outside their store under the scorching heat. Fine, I ask how long the waiting time usually takes… Non-committal answer of “we are not sure.” I prodded and was told, “for hours.” Now, I don’t know if that meant “four or for” (I didn’t beg anymore to feel their excitement or eagerness to serve us) but regardless, hours with an “s” meant at least 2. I wanted to set a good example to my bro and show exemplary patience. Maybe next time.

I am crazy but not THAT crazy. We left and had lunch at a different place. Since my Frisbee friend Jed invited to try out IHOP with him, I decided to give it another try. This time, we targeted an early morning visit. There were plans of running and doing leg work that will help my Frisbee game, but sometimes, the next best thing is best… what else? The very nobility this blog stands for. EATING.
