Plana's Pantry — Restaurant in Mandaluyong

My favorite place to go to when I'm home in Mandaluyong :) They have big serving sizes and very tasty, well-thought-of food in terms of flavor and presentation, so don't worry about the price tag. It's really worth the peso you pay for :)

My personal favorite from the menu is their Pork belly BBQ. It's just sooo well-marinated and very tender. Always hits the spot. I can also recommend their pasta (esp the Neopolitan) which they serve with that super yummy cheese-stuffed bread stick, and their cakes and ice creams are also really good. Not too sweet, just rich and decadent :)

Service is always 10/10 and the ambiance is very inviting and relaxing :)

In short, my favorite restaurant in...

I chose this for family dinner after doing Visita Iglesia last year. I based my choice on the great reviews and opening hours.

They had a few parking slots and we were lucky to secure one. Not one of us had been here before but Waze helped us find it.

It was a cute and charming restaurant. We surveyed the menu and found that it can cater to every family member's preference.

So my 10-year old nephew picked the Lengua, 2 had picked Sisig with Laing. I had picked the Shrimp Pasta.

And the winner is...Sisig with Laing!

The Sisig was good, but the Laing was stellar! Everyone loved it - the texture, the taste, the flavors!

We all went home happy with the dinner (and still raved about...

Atmosphere is perfect for a diner. Had high hopes for the food given the reviews but left a bit disappointed. Ordered tomato basil shrimp pasta but tasted like it was cooked using a bottled tomato-based pasta base (that you can buy from a grocery), in addition used frozen shrimps but it was just tiny 4-5 pieces all in. The beef salpicao is just so-so in terms of flavor even if the beef was really tender. Serving size is not as value for money. Service wasn't impressive as the crew were inattentive. Upon entry, they just looked at us. Had we not signaled that we wanted to dine in, they wouldnt even be bothered. Once is enough to try but will never...
