In an era of food specialization, it is rare to find a place that offers different kinds of food and drinks depending on the time of the day, seven days a week.
AM PM Brunch, Bar & Café is this rarity that offers variety of dishes that can satisfy one’s cravings from sun up to sun down, with complementary drinks to go with them. AM PM Brunch, Bar & Café goes beyond the usual plate of food by adding fun twists in their dishes that will delight kids and even those with sophisticated palate. As such it is the ideal place for family lunches, barkada hang-outs and romantic dates.
For those who wish to unwind after work and grab a drink or two, AM PM Brunch, Bar & Café has a bar that is well-stocked with local and imported beers. It also offers a decent selection of hard drinks and cocktails.
The Place
Tables for two line the right side of AM PM Brunch, Bar & Café that faces the bar. The wooden decors are a nice touch.
The Food
Pumpkin Soup, P80.00 (US $1.60). The pumpkin soup was really smooth. The garlic bits floating at the surface of this creamy creation gave off an exquisite aroma and added a new layer of texture and flavor to break the monotony of the soup.
Salted Egg Wings, P165.00 (US $3.30). I had one piece of chicken, and it was also tender. There was a hint of salted egg flavor, but not enough to turn off those who do not like it.
Chips Overload Platter (Mozzarella Sticks, Onion Rings, Twister Fries, and Tater Tots), P319.00 (US $6.38). I was a fan of the tots because they were so smooth and creamy, they could be eaten on their own without the dip.
Cereal Chicken Salad in Salted Egg Dressing, P159.00 (US $3.18). I liked the greens that came with the chicken. They were fresh and sweet.
Mac and Cheese in Hickory Pesto Chicken, P230.00 (US $4.60). The combination of mac and cheese and pesto sounds bleh, but they made it work wonderfully. This was the dish I liked the most. The chicken was succulent and yummy. Every bite was a party in my mouth.
The Great White (Spicy Tuna Pasta), P210.00 (US $4.20). This was the runner-up to the Mac and Cheese in Hickory Pesto Chicken. The spiciness of the tuna balanced the creaminess of the sauce. The freshly baked whole wheat bread (made by the owners themselves) was a great complement to the flavorful dish. I liked this dish so much so that I have cooked a similar recipe thrice in the last month. It is a lot for someone like me.
Beef Roulade in Brown Sauce, P220.00 (US $4.40). I cannot remember the flavor of the beef, but I can vividly remember how juicy the vegetables were and how much I liked the potato.
Bottomless Blue Lemonade, P100.00 (US $2.00). I had four glasses of this blue lemonade. It was not cloyingly sweet and it was great on a hot day.
