Brekky with Khrissy

SUBWAY & J.Co

Makati City

Closeness has nothing to do with distance.

One of my dearest friends, Cebu-based Khrissy Davis frequents Manila for business trip and sometimes for personal reason or simply just to see me.

We were their first customers this particular day. We were looking for a place to have our breakfast before buying J.Co Donuts as her pasalubong to her family in Cebu.

Subway is always a safe bet when you are looking for someplace to grab a quick bite and you know the quality would be consistent. Friendly staff and sandwiches are prepared the way you like them. Good value for moment like this.

They assemble the sandwich in front of you while you wait.

Our footlong BASIC Sliced Chicken and Ham cut into two.

Everything on it!

Such a healthy alternative for breakfast and I'm glad we have it here now in Manila.

Next Stop;

J.Co at Greenbelt 3
A premium, lifestyle cafe brand founded in Indonesia has now come to the shores of the Philippines!

Alcapone - their top selling soft bite donut covered with Belgian white chocolate and Californian almonds. YUHMEH!

Many say that J.Co is a fad just like any other imported brands/chains that landed our shore. I think it is here to stay. If you are a fan of extensive choices, exciting flavors and not-to-sweet donuts, then J.Co is really a must try. Even if you ask Khrissy with her 3 boxes of J.CO DONUTS!

Until our next foodtrip adventure;

BREAKFAST AT Tourné

Tel: 555-0267

Mikah, whom I introduced in my previous blog has been my on-again-off-again gym mate buddy. Here we are on our post work-out meal just across Fitness First The Fort Strip; Tourné. This resto combines the intimacy of a neighborhood establishment with the quality of a semi-fine dining restaurant, an atmosphere that is approachable and distinctive yet unpretentious.

The mandatory FB check-in status. haha

I love breakfast food, I just don't love the look of my eyes vis-a-vis morning sunshine.

American Breakfast ( French Toast with Maple Syrup along  with Sweet & Spicy Bacon and Sunny Side-up Eggs)

Until our next bibo adventure foodies,

BREAKFAST AT CONTIS

Conti's Bakeshop & Restaurant

Location; Serendra
1C-17 Serendra, McKinley ParkwayFort Bonifacio, Taguig(02) 856-2352

My gym-mate sweethearts and former colleagues (MIS's Team Managers) Rose and Micah on our post work-out foodtrip.

Conti's has always been crowded in the afternoon, but when you have your seat you will think that all that waiting was worth it. There was even a time when I visited the place and made me so pissed off because it took them 20minutes before the waiter asked for my order. But of course their cakes and meals are to die for. So it's worth coming back and worth enduring the long wait even if the server to guest ratio wasn't planned well.

I'm glad that on this visit we made it for breakfast.

Done with our after shift work out and excited for our post work-out meal.

Ready when you are!

Rose just had an intense cardio work-out and she deserved a full breakfast meal (but still healthy) her choice; Grilled Salmon HeadServed with vegetable roll and Japanese fried rice or with steamed rice 245.00

Mikah opted for a healthy breakfast. Her pick; Linguine in Pesto Sauce with Seafood @ 295.00

Bibo's Choices:  Mango Royale SaladIceberg lettuce with fresh mango cubes tossed with their special house dressing (solo serving @ PhP90.000
Chicken Salad SandwichChunks of chicken breast with salad dressing on white toast. Served with potato chips. 105.00
&

Mango Bravo - FrozenLayers of crunchy wafers filled with chocolate mousse, cream and mango cubes 145.00

Good thing we were there around 10am so we didn't have to wait. We were given a full attention. I usually order Beef Salpicao if it's for lunch or dinner and since it's for breakfast, bravo for Mango Bravo.

All in all, Good Service, above average food... excellent Mango Bravo!

Until then,
Bibo
