This restaurant is quite hidden in the Metrowalk area, which is a good thing (away from the noisy nearby thoroughfares especially Meralco Avenue, for one). It felt nice to visit Metrowalk again after almost a decade, by the way. A lot has changed there and I saw some places to eat that were new (to my eyes, at least).

Anyway, my friend and I had breakfast there. What we had:

What we had:

⏺Goto Special

⏺Bulalugaw

⏺Tokwa't Baboy

⏺Pandan con Yelo

⏺Free drinking water

(Too bad they didn't have at least a brewed coffee)

I was intrigued by the Bulalugaw thing. It turned out that it tasted like the usual goto, but instead of tripes ("tuwalya") you'll have tender chunks of beef. I was expecting bone marrow since the dish's name is a portmanteau of "bulalo" and "lugaw," I was kind of disappointed that it didn't have bone marrow -- but other than that, it was delicious. Not too salty nor oily... Or "ma-vetsin." The same goes for my date's goto.

We shared the Pandan con Yelo -- we both liked it. I like my shakes on the sweeter side since they're usually icy (and ice would numb your taste buds). The Pandan con Yelo was sweet but not too cloying. It had the goodness of pandan flavor.

The ambiance there at the time was mostly chill. Nice place to have a heavy breakfast and their lugaw (I love lugaw/arroz caldo/goto) was good. And great 80s rock/pop/dance music on the background (reminds me of our time lols, we're getting old).

A no frills down home goodness... Comfort food pinoy style that goes back to my childhood days.. It's was awesome to introduce this place to my son and find that it still tastes' the same greasy spoon way..
