Sausage and Eggs ( SM North EDSA - Skygarden )

Craving for sausage and eggs? Give this place a try and you wont regret it.

They have a small place but it is nice, clean, simple and quiet. They have a take out counter outside, just beside the entrance.

The Smoked Bratwurst tastes like a Hungarian sausage. It is served with your choice of egg and rice, together with two thin slices of sweet corn with chopped  tomatoes and onions on the side. This one comes with the java rice and sunny side up. For the sausages, it's 155 pesos if you want it whole and 85 pesos for just a half of it. You can choose from Smoked Bratwurst, Cheddar Link, Chipotle, Garlic, Hot Links, Pineapple and Chicken Italian. They have a wide variety of choices on how you want your eggs to be served. The sunny side up and scrambled eggs are free, while the salted egg salad and egg salad costs 20 pesos, the omelet and eggs Benedict costs 35 pesos. You can choose from four rice variants like plain rice and garlic rice for 20 pesos, they also have bagoong rice and java rice for 25 pesos. Each serving is enough for one person but it is most likely that you would want to consider an additional cup of rice

The Lucban Longganisa tastes really good, I do not know if they really serve it the way that the other one is toasted and the other one cooked just right, but I prefer the toasted one. Like the sausages, you can also choose from different variants of longganisa. They have Vigan, Lucban, Skinless, Jamonado, Cabanatuan and their Special of the Day. It's 110 pesos for three pieces of longganisa and 80 pesos for two pieces. I opted for scrambled eggs and garlic rice for this meal. The garlicky and a bit salty taste of the Lucban Longganisa really goes well with their spicy vinegar. You might also want to consider an additional cup of rice for this meal especially if you order three pieces of longganisa. It is also served with chopped onions and tomatoes.

They also serve coffee and hot chocolate since they serve breakfast here. Cold drinks like bottled water, juice and soda in can are also available.

If you are looking for a budget friendly restaurant that doesn't sacrifice the quality of their food and service, Sausage and Eggs is one of the place to be.

Teriyaki Boy ( Trinoma )

Teriyaki Boy has been around for quite a while. It is one of the many Japanese restaurants in the Philippines.

The Yakimeshi is a Japanese fried rice with vegetables and ground pork. The rice is sticky, fragrant and well seasoned. With lots of meat and vegetables, you can eat it on its own. It costs 54 pesos per bowl.

The Buffalo Tori Karaage is their version of deep fried boneless chicken with buffalo sauce. It is served with chips and some nice dip. The chicken is so crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. The buffalo sauce really goes well with it. It can also be served sans the buffalo sauce. It costs 181 pesos for solo and 330 for sharing. While the one with the buffalo sauce costs 196 pesos for solo and 351 pesos for sharing. 

The Tonkatsu is a breaded pork fillet that is deep fried to perfection. It is crispy and really goes well with the katsu sauce. It also comes with coleslaw. For 222 pesos, this can be enough for two persons.

They also serve all natural fruit shakes for 70 pesos.

The place is nice and clean even if it's a bit crowded. The crew also offers good and professional service.

Banapple ( SM North EDSA )

They say that if you want to know where the good food is, just go to a restaurant that is always crowded, we did just that and it lead us to Banapple.
This place is always full, and most of the time you have to be on the waiting list just to be seated inside. They also have tables outside but it is more comfortable inside.

The Fettuccine Jacintha is basically the classic carbonara with some herbs and spices. It has a rich and creamy sauce. The added herbs and spices really made it more flavorful. For 200 pesos, you will get an ample serving and it comes with 2 slices of their pesto butter bread. This dish is definitely a must try.

The Lasagna Roll-ups is also a must try. The lasagna strips are filled with herbed cream and parmesan cheese, it is then rolled up and smothered with tomato and meat sauce with mozzarella cheese. You can also get ample serving of this dish for 210 pesos. It is served with 2 slices of pesto butter bread.

The Banapple smoothie is also a must try. It's a good and refreshing drink. From its name and taste, it is most probably made by blending banana and apple together with some milk and sugar. This healthy drink costs 125 pesos.

The Blueberry Cheesecake is good. It is soft, moist and not too sweet. You can have the whole cake for 1,140 pesos and 125 pesos per slice.

The Classic Pecan Pie is free that day. Nothing special about this pie, but it's not bad at all. You can try it for 125 pesos per slice and 920 pesos for the whole pie.

Banapple is really a bang for the buck. The good food, big servings and reasonable price will surely keep foodies coming back.

Kitchen of Cakes and Coffee ( SM City North EDSA )

Need to satisfy your caffeine cravings and your sweet tooth? The Kitchen of Cakes and Coffee will surely get your attention when you pass by the sky garden at SM City North EDSA. 

They offer a wide variety of cakes that you can choose from. You can also choose from their hot and cold beverages.

Their own version of French cheesecake, called My Best Cheesecake is soft and moist. It almost melts in your mouth without a very strong flavor. It costs 730 pesos or 100 pesos per slice. You can have it with fruit toppings for 830 pesos or 110 pesos per slice.

The Decadent is a moist chocolate cake with coffee pasty cream and chocolatey ganache on top. It's not as sweet as it looks. You can have it for 680 pesos or 90 pesos per slice.

The Montezuma is one of the chocolate drinks that they offer. You can have it hot for 105 pesos or cold for 115 pesos. It tastes like the regular cocoa drink which is bitter sweet. We had the iced version but I think they added just a few ice cubes or it just melted so fast because you can't consider it cold or warm, it's in between, like room temperature.

They also have a small space inside which can only accommodate 4 tables that seats 2 persons each. It's also warm inside. They have other tables outside if you want to have a little bit more space. The service is not that bad. The food is good. This is one of the restaurants that still needs a little bit more improvement before it can compete with the others.

Army Navy Burger & Burrito (UP Ayala Land Technohub)

This branch is located at the 2nd floor of the technohub building, and is open 24 hours a day. It has a small space inside but it does have tables outside, both at the front and the back to accommodate more customers.

Their Tortilla Chips is a good side dish and is served with a great tasting mayo and cheesy type of dip. For only 35 pesos, you can munch on it while waiting for your food.

Their Classic burger is still one of the best burgers in the market. Maybe it's because of the quarter pound beef patty that is so flavorful and juicy. It also comes in big servings and only costs 165 pesos. You also have the option to have 2 or 3 beef patties. Add ons are also available like, egg for 17 pesos, cheese/bacon for 30 pesos, jalapeño for 20 pesos and sauteed onions for 15 pesos. You can never go wrong with this burger.

The Chipotle Crispy Chicken Sandwich is made up of fried chicken fillet with chipotle pepper sauce topped with crispy onion rings and mayo on toasted sesame seed Kaiser bun. It also comes in big servings and costs 185 pesos. Like all of their other burgers, it is also freshly cooked and served hot. The chicken fillet is crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside.

Army Navy Burger and Burrito is definitely worth a try. Despite the small space that they provide, the good food that they serve at a reasonable price is enough reason to keep you coming back.
