The Pig Pen Restaurant Review




Two weeks ago, just when Christmas/New Years' rush is settling down, I've decided to book a Hotel at Nuvali Sta. Rosa Laguna for a quick family getaway/Staycation outside the city just to relax and rejuvenate ourselves after the crazy Christmas Break when Kyle got sick and we spent the holidays doing nothing but worrying about his health.

Thanks to my dear friend Marge who gifted me an overnight stay at Hotel Seda and it was one of the best place to stay with the family without the long drive!  It took us an hour and a half to arrive there.  The place was still packed but I like how Nuvali was developed in a way families can have fun even with the crowd.

I did a lot of research on some good restaurants to try at Nuvali.  Pig Pen Restaurant popped on my browser.  Though I know they have a second branch at Makati, I didn't bother wanting to try it at Makati because we seldom head there....and of course TRAFFIC.

After spending time at an Arcade and Bookstore, Kyle was ready to eat and the place wasn't packed!  We immediately ordered the dishes recommended by the server.

Papadum (Indian Tortilla) Nachos topped with Beef
Php180.00
A pretty unique way to enjoy your nachos in my opinion.  The chips are a tad bit oilier than regular nachos but they are so crunchy you'll forget about the oil and just enjoy this appetizer!

After 4 Years, We're Back at Denny's, in the Philippines!




Almost four years ago, we dined at Denny's San Francisco when Kyle was around 11 months old!  I won't forget that day because I was done with a Grand Event Launch and the dad and baby just woke up and we were all hungry so we head on to the nearest American Restaurant for comfort food and family bonding.

Fast forward to today, I've heard about the arrival of Denny's Restaurant but I never thought of getting in without my boys!  I guess, I'm just sentimental that way!  If ever I'll dine in this restaurant again, it'll be the 3 of us just to reminisce old times.



And the funny thing was, it had to be at Sta. Rosa, Laguna!  We had a short family staycation just before my year gets busier each week!

Upon checking out the menu, it was totally different from the ones I saw in the US, they added more Filipino Dishes and even Filipino Breakfast meals to cater the locals.  

I was craving for Waffle so I have to get this!
