and you have no choice but to just frown,
remember that Bag of Beans is just a few hours drive
delightful food and picturesque view giving you a high five,
you’d really tell yourself, “I’m so lucky to be alive!”

More than craving for a sumptuous breakfast, our eyes were hungry for a lush scenery after a week in the concrete jungle. Bag of Beans Aguinaldo Highway branch definitely gave us the deal we were looking for.
It was difficult to choose from their menu, as each dish seemed really inviting and promising! However, as with all other things in this world, we had to settle with a few picks.

BOB’s Pork Tocino is very Filipino in terms of its taste–sweet and juicy. Like a typical Filipino breakfast, it comes with eggs, garlic fried rice and papaya relish.

The Grilled Pork Chop was okay. It had a really generous serving but an additional flavor, perhaps in salt level, could have spiced up its taste.

The Beef Tapa is also a must-try in their menu. It tasted fresh, as evident in its tenderness.

The Shepherd’s Pie is one of the best in the menu. Flavorful and cooked to perfection, we could eat this one all day long.

This Breakfast Sampler couldn’t be more satisying. You’d be full just by looking at it. We’d definitely go back for those pancakes and bacon!
