Pancake House Home Style BangusTwo bites into Pancake House’s Home Style Bangus, and I signaled for the server. One bite gave the impression that the milkfish was very dry. A second bite confirmed it.

Ticketnet SM Megamall Slow Service (Ire)

There was a line, but I wasn’t worried. It was only 4.35pm. I had made reservations the night before so it shouldn’t take more than five minutes for my transaction to go through, enough time to make it even for a 5.15pm class at Fitness First Megamall.

I only finished by 5.18pm.
