17 - Yellow Lantern and as to why Magneto is my favorite mutant

Sweeten your life with euphoric bread and vanilla ice cream on top. Yum!

Antipolo is nearly unrecognizable to me despite having lived here almost all my life. Having lead a busy life for the past three years or so, barely looking at my surroundings, it felt like all the establishments and restaurants proudly rooted and standing on Antipolo soil as of today were built over night. There is a whole lot of them and I can’t wait to try e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g! Oink!

So for tonight, I bring to you Yellow Lantern Cafe located at M.L Quezon (across Puregold, Victory Mall and beside Gasti). They have another branch located at Sumulong Hi-way btw (near Cafe Lupe). 

First off, Pesto pasta P299 (2/5). Note: The pasta serving was actually good for sharing! The chicken’s breaded and fried (not bad, but I do not like breaded chicken so it’s a minus point here), the pesto sauce has a creamy feel to it (not bad, but I prefer it to taste like it’s purely oil-based. I do not know why it felt and tasted creamy on my tongue when it doesn’t look creamy at all). Well, it's okay all in all and still worth the try.

We also ordered Spaghetti Bolognese P255 (3/5). My 3-year old nephew KC really loved this. If he’s the one to give a score, I’m sure this would be a 5/5. However I’m only giving it a 3 because I do not like my spaghetti sweet. So yes, this one’s good for kids and adults who love a Filipino-style spaghetti - sweet, saucy, cheesy and beefy!

We also ordered nachos P289 (3.5/5). The serving’s good for more than 3 people actually. It is seasoned with cheese, jalapenos and ground beef, with salsa on the side. Pampulutan (lol)

What I enjoyed the most is the dessert. Euphoric Bread Pudding with Ice Cream P140 (4/5). The bread is soft and fluffy and it melts (my heart is melting too).  It is sprinkled to what looks like cinnamon and gosh the vanilla ice cream goes perfectly with it. Euphoria indeed! 

Note: the servings are big thus despite the fact that there were four of us (3 adults and 1 kid who eats like an adult), there were still leftovers.

So if it’s a simple family get together, after church merienda/dinner, chill with the barkada with a few beer and patata on the side, Yellow Lantern Cafe is a must try! Note though that the M.L Quezon branch is closed on Mondays, and there is a service charge of 10% (probably because they have a security guard?). 

Here’s a good look on the menu (click the photo to enlarge):

Oh well, I will come back to judge for myself whether their coffee, frappes and rice meals are worth the price! xoxo

We’re planning to watch X-Men: Apocalypse later, I had to rewatch X-Men Days of the Future Past to condition my mind. I have always been in love with Magneto’s character, (because he’s hot), kidding aside, he’s the guy who means well (some times) but does horrible things to achieve what he thinks is for the greater good (of the mutants and the mutants alone). He can be proud and scheming and never boring. Loved the pun on this one:

HAHAHA! Seriously though, I can’t explain my still growing love for you Dadneto. I’ll see you later!
