Weekend Food Tripping at: Flapjacks

I celebrated Father's Day with my dad late...I've been busy on Father's day because of the make-up gigs. I was too tired to go out to have dinner with them. I told my dad it's better late than never, so me and my hubby decided to celebrated Father's day with my family this weekend. So it's another weekend food tripping!

I wanted to treat my dad somewhere special, somewhere we never tried before. So my hubby and I literally checked out all the "possible" restaurants at the mall and we finally gave in to a place called "FlapJacks". We heard so much about Flapjacks because of the morning radio show we love to listen to 89.9 and we heard how Mo Twister love this place so much because of their good customer service.

So, here we go! Here's how the lovely menu looks like....

The area isn't big but I love the ambience, the decors are lovely, they have one flat screen tv and the cartoon version of Mr. Bean was on! So we weren't bored while waiting for my family to arrive.

Can I say that they offer bottomless drinks for only Php75.00? (approx $1.75)
and look how cute the coke glass is!

So now, the FUN part...the food pix!!!

Here's what my dad and I ordered
The Chicken Fried Steak
Php 325.00 (approx $7.50)

My take on this is that, the potatoes are lovely, the scrambled eggs are lovely, but the chicken itself? I love how big the serving is and how crunchy it is, but it tastes....a bit bland. I think what they can do is add more spices on it. My dad ended up adding Tomato Ketchup on top of the gravy! LOL But overall, it's ok! nothing superb!

Next, my mom ordered
Beef Salpicao
Php425.00 (approx $10.00)

My mom's take on this? The rice is lovely, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes tastes heavenly, but the Beef Salpicao is too salty for her taste!

My hubby's order
Country Ham Php390.00 (approx$9.00)

I think this is the best meal we ordered! My hubby ordered this and he loved the thickness of the ham yet it is soft enough to chew. It's sweet yet super tasty. It was cooked just right, doesn't taste like the normal ham you ordered out of the supermarket freezer! The salad tastes great as well! trust me, I've tasted it and I'm a salad eater! Thumbs up on this one!

My brother's order
Steak and Eggs Php450.00 (approx $11.00)

My brother ordered this in medium rare, changed the potato order into garlic rice. Egg will be sunny side-up and the beef came with bacon topped on it. Overall, I gave this lovely a li'l taste myself and it is good! I am not an expert steak eater to be honest, but I like this! Not my kind of meal but I like it!

Now, I'm getting excited to talk about this....Flapjacks are famous for their pancakes and because of their promo flyer they give out, you get to have a free pancake of your choice for every Php 250.00 (approx $5.00) you ordered. One table can avail only 1 freebie, but the manager is super nice he offered us 2 orders of free pancakes of our choice! YAY!!!

The Triple Choco Chip Pancake
Php220.00 (approx $4.50)

I can taste Hershey chocolate syrup and the mini kisses are lovely!!!! Love love love this!!! Forget about my diet! lol (as if I'm dieting)

Double Blueberry Pancake
Php220.00 (approx $4.50)

I am not a fruit pancake eater...but I gotta try this when they told me this is their specialty! Boy!!! They're NOT joking!!! this tastes heavenly, the warmth of the pancake plus the sweetness of the blueberry? I am in heaven!!! We finished this up like there's no tomorrow! lol

Before I end this post, I have to say this...Flapjacks is famous not because of their food, in my opinion, they have the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE ever!!! We never had to raise our hands 2x or call their attention again and again as the waiter was always alert and always attend to our needs. We even felt embarrassed that he would change our plates or get us new plates even when we didn't even ask them to! They always serves with a smile and you really would feel like a VIP! We felt so good and we didn't even care that our food isn't perfect, we went out really happy!
