Blueberry & Kiwi Yogurt Parfait

I've been sick for about a week now and I can tell that my appetite's been affected.  I'm a lot less energetic and all I feel like doing is lay in my bed all day. So this morning I decided to trick myself and build an appetite, through a pretty yet healthy breakfast.


You could use anything you'd like for your yogurt parfait, but here's what I used in case you're wondering.

Nestle Creamy Yogurt
Bob's Red Mill Old Country Style Muesli
Blueberries
1 Kiwi
Silk Pure Almond (optional)
HNZ Manuka Honey (optional)

What's your favorite breakfast?

I love breakfast food dearly and see it as comfort food but I'm definitely not a morning person. During the summer I wake up way too late, and during the school year I'm always rushing out the door and never have enough time to have a proper breakfast. The fact that there have been more all day breakfast spots popping up lately (like IHOP) makes Manila, I believe, a happier place. 


There's nothing serious about a breakfast joint, just good food and cheery vibes. The bright colors and cute patterns exclaims "happy," even on a stormy day.


Ginger Peach Lemonade PHP 125
The ginger doesn't have an overpowering taste at all, it balances with the sweetness of the peach and is light and refreshing.

Pineapple Sunshine PHP 125
I would have enjoyed this more if it was smoother and had less fiber.


Eggs Benedict PHP 420
"Toasted English muffin with arm honey roast ham, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce."


I played it safe for some reason and ordered their eggs benedict. I always enjoy a well executed eggs benedict and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The english muffin was slightly crunchy (and not soggy from the hollandaise sauce) and the two eggs were poached perfectly.

French Toast Fondue PHP 210
"Served with cinnamon sugar, maple syrup and melted chocolate."


I don't like my french toast soggy so I really liked this. Having them cut up in a way where you can use your fingers makes eating french toast way more fun. The sesame seeds on the bread also added a nice touch to the dish. And how cute is the presentation? They were able to make use of the egg shells as dip containers instead of just throwing them away!

Tortilla, Queso y Salsa "Red tomato salsa sitting quietly beside a flaming yellow cheese sauce while tortilla chips lounge expectantly in a basket. We hope you imagine in vivid color because that's the whole point in describing it that way." PHP 250

Grams Iced Tea "Our very own brew using ultra-secret recipes but the ice is supplied by outside contractors who requested anonymity." PHP 100

Flap it like it's Hot "What happens when your fried chicken wings are tossed in authentic buffalo wing sauce." PHP 350

 

Grams World Famouse Beef Tapa "Did you know that the word tapa means 'cover' in Spanish? Well, here in Grams, beef tapa is served with two fried eggs and garlic rice. (Brief silence as we let you chew on that!). You would have finished your beef tapa before you find the connection there. By then, we don't think you'd still core." PHP 420



Menu

Descriptions taken from their menu

Comments / More Information:
- They have tables outside of the restaurant for smokers or for people who just prefer sitting outside
- I ordered their iced tea for a change but regretted it. It was okay but nothing beats their Whoppers Malt Milkshake! The jar that they used as a glass was a cute idea though
- Their iced tea is bottomless
- The tortilla chips were served warm. I think they make their own if I'm not mistaken. This was simple but it really hit the spot
- Their buffalo wings were perfectly fried; crispy on the outside, juicy and tender in the inside. It came with a sauce which I think is a ranch dressing and it went really well with the chicken. The buffalo wing sauce wasn't that spicy either
