Wildflour Cafe + Bakery (BGC) • Take II

Agua Fresca PHP 110
"Cucumber, lime, mint"

Good Morning Sunshine Smoothie PHP 240
"Strawberry, pineapple, mango, banana, yogurt, agave"
Mushroom Salad PHP 360
"Arugula, shaved apples, pistachio, parmesan"

The rest of the ingredients aside from the arugula are all pretty muted in flavor, which emphasizes the strong taste of arugula even more. It's really all about preference in taste in this case - I personally don't like arugula alone as a salad so I didn't enjoy this one as much as my mom did.
Eggs on Toast PHP 450
"Smoked salmon, poached egg, scrambled eggs, bearnaise"

This dish was surprisingly heavy because of the two way cooked eggs, despite the fluffiness of the scrambled eggs and the airy bread. The edges of the toast were dense and the slightest bit crunchy, while the middle was soft and light. It's a simple dish I'll always enjoy.

Wildflour Cafe + Bakery (Podium) • Take II

I purposely went a bit late for lunch since I thought it would be less busy, so I got there at around 2:30 pm. And boy did I think wrong! There was a long line of people curious on what the whole Wildflour cronuts craze is all about, and they all wanted a taste. (I'm pretty sure they were all there for the cronuts, I overheard about three people asking the waitress if they were still available and she said there was just one left. Is it that good?? I gotta try one asap.) I thought I'd go around the mall for a bit and wait for the line to get shorter...but after twenty minutes it didn't. I just wanted my grilled cheese sandwich man! It was obvious that people were still gonna come in for their marienda so I thought I'd just face the line instead.
All their yummy pastries prettily displayed by the counter. They must have a good system of cleaning because there wasn't one fly looping around anywhere...
Agua Fresca PHP 110
"Cucumber, lime, mint"
I walked my way to the mall so I wanted something refreshing to sip on that wouldn't clash with my meal. Their agua fresca was the way to go! I could definitely taste each ingredient including the cucumber, and was really good especially with all that ice.
Grilled Cheese PHP 290
"Gruyere cheese, caramelized onions, side salad"
What sets this grilled cheese apart from any other ol' grilled cheese sandwich is the caramelized onions they stuff in it that gives it a sweet taste. They cook their caramelized onions in a certain way that makes it a bit mushy to the point where they don't look like onions anymore, but I don't mean that in a bad way at all. If you've tried Wildflour's tarte flabee's before then you know what I'm talking about. Crunchy on the edges and gooey and cheesy in the inside, just the way I like it. I don't know what dressing they use on that salad but it's so good! The mix of greens and tasty dressing is enough for me to eat the salad on it's own without toppings. I'd happily eat one big bowl of this.

Have you tried cronuts or Wildflour's cronuts before?

Wildflour Cafe + Bakery (Podium)

Wildflour in the Fort still stands as the restaurant's main branch. The one in Podium has a total of only 10 tables, 6 outside and 4 inside (the second floor does not have any tables.) When I took a look at their menu I realized that they did not have many of the dishes that they offer in the Fort - like the bone marrow, flambes and burgers. Only a selection of dishes are available here due to the limited space. As I was talking to the waitress though she mentioned that they're still going to try to bring in more of the dishes to Podium. 

They also implemented semi-self service to this branch - where you'll have to order in the counter, grab a seat and wait for the server to bring you your food. Even with the limited space they still managed to squeeze in a display of their baked goodies.

The wine display on the ledge acts as a nice touch to the interior while using storage space efficiently. 



Homemade Strawberry-Lemon Soda PHP 170
I loved this! It reminded me a lot of IHOP's Splashberry except without the actual strawberries.

Agua Fresca PHP 110
"Cucumber, lime, mint"

It was both refreshing and different, which my mom enjoyed.

Parmesan Churros PHP 160
Lightly crispy on the outside + airy and gooey inside. If you're a cheese lover like I am and you're looking for a light appetizer then get this! Not something I'd get to finish on my own though since it's pretty greasy.

Ham and Brie Sandwich (with a side of chips / salad) PHP 320
"Cornichons, wild arugula, pain de mie"
Forgive me! My mom and I grabbed one end of the sandwich each as soon as the waitress brought it to the table. I was too hungry that I forgot to take a photo and wouldn't have if my mom didn't remind me. It was good but it would've been better if it was served warm with the brie melted (drool), instead of cold. You can never go wrong with a ham and brie sandwich! I'm not much of a fan of ham, but ham and brie make a good match so it's an exception.


Valrhona Salted Chocolate Cake PHP 185
I didn't really taste much of the salt but it was a pretty damn good chocolate cake. The cake was dense and moist + the frosting was rich and decadent, all the good things you'd want in a chocolate cake. 
By this time I noticed how generous they are with their dishes. It's not obvious in the photo but the slice of cake was huge that my mom and I couldn't even finish it. The sandwich was stuffed with ham, brie, wild arugula and pickles; and the churros were topped with lots of grated parmesan cheese.
