Right across where the gym is located (YES, Vic and I go to the gym now), I saw a newly-opened restaurant. It said Nathaniel's bakeshop, pasalubong, etc.
I wondered if it's the restaurant I've been wanting to try out. So, Vic and I made our way to the Nathaniel's after our workout.
Nathaniel's is quite known for their buco pandan salad. They served it slightly frozen, which was a disappointment. I, personally, didn't find anything special about their buco pandan. Maybe it is in the cream. Maybe if they served it thawed, I'd find out what people like in this dessert. A small portion, the size of an ice cream cup, costs P50. A pint will cost you P235. I find that expensive.
I am amazed by the number of patrons they have. A customer walks in every five minutes. The parking slots in front of the restaurant are never vacant.
Vic and I tried their other dishes. My Beef Caldereta was like what my mother makes at home, only a bit spicy. According to Vic, his Roast Beef tastes like what caterers serve. There's nothing special about their siomai either.
What's surprising though is the price. There are very affordable merienda and rice meal selections for less than P100. Sweet and savory pies start at P30. Half a dozen of pork puto-pao is P90.
Since it is very accessible and affordable, it is very likely that I'd go back. Maybe I'll find something I'll like.
