Minced Manila, Antipolo: Restaurant Review

Where to go for a birthday breakfast?

 

My itinerary for the day brought me to this quaint restaurant atop the hills of Antipolo.  Minced Manila is just a kilometer away the Antipolo Cathedral, which made it a perfect breakfast stop-over after mass. 

 

 

 

I first read of Minced Manila from a friend blogger of Memet Diaries, who rated Minced Manila as a worthy visit. 

 

We ordered from their breakfast menu (available from 7am - 10am only). The breakfast menu is served with garlic rice, two eggs and brewed all you can drink coffee.

 

My husband got Longganisa Lucban.

The longganisa smells so good half ended on my plate :P

 

Longganisa Lucban set cost P200.

 

I love their garlic rice... and their sunny side-up eggs were perfect.  The "atsara" with the longganisa was spot-on.

 

I got the Hungarian Sausage, which I of course had to share with my husband, after eating most of his longganisa.

 

Hungarian Sausage set cost P180.

 

Coffee was very strong, which was how we liked it.  "We were happy to hear that coffee was refillable, but one cup was all we needed to keep us up the entire day". You won't be needing a refill :P  

Minced Manila is more than just a breakfast place, they also boast a full lunch and dinner menu, that I am sure are also MUST TRY.

 

 

VERDICT

• Minced Manila is a wonderful find, serving delectable breakfast at really reasonable price. I would definitely come back to try their lunch and dinner menu. 
• Staff are attentive and amiable. 
• Secured location and ample parking a plus.

 

Minced Manila is located at the

2nd floor of EM Gems Building  L. Sumulong Circumferential Road Antipolo

Calda's "Big Pizza"

 

For an impromptu office birthday "merienda" for hubby - I got him this huge 36" pizza from Calda's Pizza.   This humongous pizza is just perfect for a group of 20 hungry men (and women :P).   It comes in various flavors to choose from.  To make choosing easier, Calda allows mixing of variants.  I got him Granchi and Filipiniana.

 

I am not a huge pizza fan, but the size of this pizza was just amazing - it makes me smile and so I just had to give this one a try. 

 

VERDICT - taste is nothing to rave for. It was Italian inspired, thin crust with mozzarella cheese with regular pizza toppings, unlike most pizzas , however, this one was not oily...  with its size making it extra especial.

 

P.S. Yup, while I munched on my first piece of Calda's, I can't help but wonder, how they deliver such huge pizzas (it must have been difficult not to mention dangerous to navigate Manila traffic..) and managed to fit it inside the building elevator!  Hmmnnn... that I got to see...
