Haha, I've actually never eaten brunch here at Wildflour but they have perfect brunch and comfort food so I'm calling them my new favorite brunch place =)
Was exhausted that night from the office and I was choosing between getting a massage or drowning myself in good food, and as like how it happens more often, the call of food won over. I've been hearing about this new cafe which is conveniently located a few blocks from where I was working (read: slaving away).
It was a thursday night so I thought I could get away with no reservations, but alas! the place was packed, with quite an affluent crowd, if I may say. And so, even if I generally prefer to be indoors when I eat (Manila is not exactly the best place for al fresco dining), I agreed to be just seated outside.
I perused their menu and found the selections quite straightforward. When my eyes saw the Hazelnut Hot Choco (Php150), Nutella automatically came into mind, and so I ordered that. Yes, it was dinnertime; go ahead, judge me, haha.
When it came, I immediately took a sip and I slightly burnt my toungue. But there are pain worth enduring for. Wildflour's Hazelnut Hot Choco is like liquefied Nutella; thick, flavorful without going overboard, just right, just perfect. It soothed my nerves just like what I needed that night.
Such a shame that they served me their complimentary bread a tad too late as I've already finished my hot choco by then. I would have wanted to dunk in the bread to my cup of goodness.
The bread has crisp lining of a crust, and soft pillow goodness inside. I put a generous dollop of butter into a slice of my bread and bit onto it happily. Hhhmmmm.
After some time, my soup, salad, sandwhich combo (Php 370) came in and continued my destressing mode. It had tomato soup, green salad and a grilled cheese sandwich, which in my vocabulary is already a healthy meal, hahahaha.
I am not much of a tomato soup fan, but Wildflour's was done finely. It didn't feel like I was sipping tomato ketchup. No, not at all. The green salad had an interesting vinaigrette, and made my salad flavorful. I am a grilled cheese fanatic so I was quite skeptical about this one, but it was gooey enough for me =) All three had quite strong flavors going on for each of them, so I guess the trick is take one portion after the other so you won't easily get tired of any of them.
Price is a bit too steep for my budget, but I'd say it's worth it. And I might actually come back for their Croque Madame soon enough =)
