Overrated

Yesterday was hangout day with friends. We decided to try out Flapjacks at Greenbelt 2 since we've been hearing raving reviews about it in the past month. The ambiance was warm and cozy. Now ordertime. I lalalove cream cheese so I decided to get the cream cheese-stuffed french toast with cherries. I was told that this was one of their bestsellers. After the first bite, I wanted to throw it out. I couldn't taste a hint of cream cheese. It actually tasted like curdled milk. You know, like the "panis" milk? I was thinking it might be cottage cheese, but definitely nooo.. Even cottage cheese tasted better. I was so dismayed, I vowed never to eat there ever again. My friend ordered a chicken platter something with potatoes and eggs on the side. Again, we were told that this was another bestseller. She didn't like it either. Plain and ordinary daw. I guess this place was overrated.
So, grumpy us, not satisfied with our lunch, decided to go home. Nearing the Trinoma area, we decided to try out naman Sebastians ice cream parlor at the Block. Again, heard great reviews about the place, but after our disastrous lunch, we were having doubts. Well, what the heck, it was only ice cream. I ordered a scoop of Anonymous choco ? and another scoop of I love New York. Now, truthfully, it hit the spot. Will definitely be coming back for more.
