Plana's Pantry - where calories are counted as happy memories.

Last February, I was given a chance to dine in a new place in Mandaluyong.  It is continuously and graciously making a noise because of its great food and nice setting – think homey vibe with a touch of western style.

A very lovely place named “Plana’s Pantry” is located at 50 Domingo M. Guevara Street, Highway Hills, Mandaluyong City.  If you are not familiar with where it is situated, Google can surely help you.  A good internet connection and a friendly attitude towards the cab driver are all it took for me to get to the place.  I was on for an adventure.

Upon entering the restaurant, I instantly fell in love with it.  I loved the way they played with the interiors.  You know right away that it is a prodigious escape when you want to dine alone; and could be one of your go-to-places when you want to share a few good laughs with your family, friends, and that special someone.  And like any other great dining place, a friendly staff comes along with it.

Now here comes the things that will make you famish.  They have a marvelous variety of food choices.  On this visit, I tried their Frizzy French Fries (P75).  Then the Plana’s Sisig with Pesto rice for the main course.  Yes, you may look back to what I have written, but you read it right – I wrote Pesto rice!  It was a mouthful of heaven for only P230.  Just amazing!  For the drink, I chose their Calamansi juice with honey (P75) served in a mason jar/glass.  I have yet to try their Lengua, pasta, and hand-crafted ice cream on my next visit/s.

Frizzy French Fries - sizzles in your mouth for just P75.

With a great ambience and reasonable food prices, you will not be able to get enough of the place.   I clearly could not – especially with John Mayer playing in the background.
