World famous Ihop pancakes (which you’ve probably seen in the latest Superman movie, haha!) has just recently made its way to Manila, Philippines. Since we don’t have them in Singapore, I wanted to try them. Drew said the waiting queue was ridiculously long but he was willing to try anyway, so off we went on the sunny Sunday afternoon that I was there for a short vacation.
We each decided to order a pick-a-pancake combo which is composed of your choice of same-flavored famous pancakes served with two eggs, hash browns, and your choice of bacon strips or two pork sausage links, worth P385. There were lots of flavors to choose from. How to choose???

Chocolate chocolate chip |
My verdict? The pancakes were surprisingly dry, especially the chocolate one. No wonder it didn’t make their bestseller list. They tasted better after I had drowned them in syrup, of which there were three flavors, the butter pecan flavor being my favorite.
Eggs over easy with bacon and hash browns |
Hash browns with sausages and scrambled eggs |
We had their refillable bestselling drinks. We didn’t ask for refills because they were not that delicious.
So overall, the food was okay, but I expected more. My fault entirely for having such high expectations because of all the hype, I suppose!
