Banapple

After our Sunday exercise (kuno!) at UP, we had lunch at Banapple at Katipunan, Quezon City. Patrick was salivating when his order of chocolate peanut butter pancake was brought to the table. :) I loved the banofee pie, and the chocolate caramel fudge cake (I forgot what it's really called). The heavenly breakfast (served all day), glazed porkloin and baby back ribs were yummy. The banana-chocolate-peanut butter smoothie instantly became the kids' fave. As for service, it could still be improved. After paying more than 1k for our meal, I set down to check the bill/order slip (which I normally don't do) and promptly found out that we were charged an extra 300 pesos! I pointed it out to the waitress, and it turns out the cashier didn't clear the register before punching in our orders. They returned my money, but I still kinda felt cheated. I mean, what if I hadn't checked the order slip? And to think they don't issue ORs, UNLESS you request for it. What’s up with that?

The place is small, and easily gets crowded (I heard even on weekdays). I love the food there and we will eat there again to try out other items on their menu. Maybe I'll stick to the sandwiches next time. But a friend was raving about their tapa. Hmmm, we'll see... but you can be sure I'll be paying special attention to their order slip the next time.
