The Pancake House generation: I has it.



I am a kid who grew up wanting to go to Pancake house more than anywhere else as far as I can remember. I guess it was my mom's influence, the places we went to were places she liked, and she liked their tacos so we went there a lot as a kid. I still remember the Sundays going to SM North Annex, sitting down eating pancakes and getting milkshakes. It was a time where I could eat sweets for a meal and I loved it. It was the same each time. Chocolate chip pancakes. Vanilla milkshake. Taco and maybe a banana split afterwards.

So the Pancake house ads with the emphasis on Pancake house impacting families for generations are right on the money. We are definitely a part of that demographic.

Long intro. Sunday lunch with the family (minus teh pater who went to Batangas) and I dragged their butts to pancake house coz I wanted tacos. Ate so much. The steak, pancakes, and taco i ordered where polished off within minutes. (I was hungry so sue me.) Half of me felt guilty after eating all that while the more dominant half was rubbing it in my brother's face coz he had to eat a SALAD. To be fair, i like salads. (Notably Chocolate Kiss's caesar) But not as a meal.

And of course since we were in SM North, we absolutely had to go to Sebastian's and eat. Banana cream pie. Macademia white. Mango Sansrival. Eat your heart out.

I can eat ice cream again. I'm human.

And yesterday off we went to MOA. Team Gastos style to (belatedly) celebrate Wick's birthday. Watched Hancock. (It was ok) Ate at those paluto places at the bayfront. Seafood galore. (Dampa at Paranaque is still the best place to do that though.) Took a lot of pictures. Whole lotta fun.

A bit of a segway. While we were walking at the seaside I could hear the water. There really is nothing like it to relax me. I so want to go to the beach now, dig toes into sad, dive in the water, feel the sun on my skin.

Can we go to the beach now?
