Don Henrico's

One of my favorite restaurants! Expect this to be biased. It just so happened that I really (heart) Don Hen. Not only do they serve a great dining experience, they serve great great great food! Did I just say great? My favorite branch is in SM Mall of Asia where the staff is so overwhelmingly accomodating. It also has a better ambience since it's not as clogged as the Baguio branches. For starters, I would suggest their combo meals (which are not available in Manila branches). Now if you're in the Metro, you wouldn't want to miss their pizza. You wouldn't go wrong with any choice.

My personal favorite on the menu is the Italian Bratwurst Calzone(P280), a feast of sausage, garlic, mushroom, onion, tomato, and oozing cheese enclosed in baked pizza dough. Add up a perfect serving of Oven Baked Potato overflowing with melted cheese (P110) and Homestyle Onion Rings that taste more onion than breading (P145). They also serve good pasta and better salads. In fact it took me a day just to get over their Chicken Fingers Salad (P195/P370)  I haven't tasted any of their entree meals nor their gorgeous desserts though. I would love to but they're a bit too pricey for me.

Now the question...Would i go back to Don Hen?

Oh c'mon, haven't you read the first sentence?!
