No work today but I am up early for a 5AM trip from Cavite City to Makati to meet up with my friends, Ria and Liyan. We’re going to Hatch22 for breakfast! 🙂
I am the mastermind of this activity. Knowing these 2 are based in Makati, I set up a morning with them to try this newly opened bakery/cafe. We were in Rockwell before 8 am, got a table for 3 and skimmed through the menu. We basically knew what we are going to order though, coz we did our research! Hehe
Interiors are modern with natural light coming in from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Wait staff are prompt as
well and food was served in about 15 minutes. I started off with a cappucino, Liyan got a banana shake and iced tea for Ria. Hatch iced tea was really bitter so if you are not a fan of such, opt for the sweetened one.
Now, the star of our breakfast: the food! 🙂
Liyan and I both had the Crispy Delimondo Corned Beef. They used spicy Delimondo corned beef cooked to a crisp, served with garlic rice, crunchy egg and seared tomatoes. This is the reason why I wanted to eat here and I am very satisfied! Serving is big enough to keep you full til noon. (P340)
Ria tried Tapsilog 2.0 (P345) It’s a serving of beef sirlion chunks topped over garlic rice and crunchy egg. Comes with seared tomatoes and picked veggies too. Honestly, beef was a bit bland. Visual stimulation did the trick on this one. 🙂
For dessert, we shared over Hot Fudge and Toffee Ice Cream Puff (P190) and English Trifle (P210). The first one is basically cream puff stuffed with toffee ice cream, simple dessert nothing amazing. 😦 The other is a glass full of sponge cake, custard, banana, cream and topped with blueberry jelly. This one is better. Not too sweet and suprising flavors layered together. 🙂
