When your everyday routine includes bringing kids to school; you know that you’ll be needing quite a few of good breakfast places in your belt.
Priority goes to places that opens at 8 in the mornig; offers coffee; has ample parking and is within the vicinity of San Juan.
Let’s start the list off with Cafe Mabini.
This is a 22-seater space with ample parking and internet access.
The best spots are the booths at the back, where the indoor garden adds to the view. Call buttons are also made available on the tables.
Table shot of our first visit.
Hubby went with their Grilled US Beef Tapa (Php 425) while I got their Beef and Tendon Mami (Php 395).
This sticky jelly-like beef broth truly hits the spot. All the meat pieces were cooked ‘til tender, making every mouthful a delight. Squeezing in some calamansi & mixing in the chili garlic bring in the sour & spicy notes into the dish. Serving the wanton chips on the side rather than on top of the soup made for a very nice added crunch to the dish.
