I remember the original Pancake House near Sulo Hotel in the Makati Commercial Center, a favorite lunch hangout of the office crowd in the early eighties. Whenever we would eat there, the focus of conversation would inevitably meander towards the movie posters that would dot the restaurant walls. When the Lorenzo family bought the company a few years back, the movie-poster tradition was kept, but the branch count was increased and the menu offerings were expanded--from just pancakes, waffles and easy brunches, to the 6 page menu list they have today.
I must say I'm a fan of the classic taco, the pan fried chicken and the roast beef--all original offerings since the seventies. A couple of days ago, I had the opportunity to schedule a meeting at a Pancake House branch, and I stuck to ordering my favorite taco, a throwback to years of habit. Approximately P250 per head to have a light lunch or snack, and P700 per head to have a full blown feast.

In high school we would hang out at Shoppesville branch, crush the taco on a large plate and eat it like a salad... They also have the only sweet spaghetti i will eat - quite yummy with lots of cheese. Now, going to the doctor (medical city) is easy because the kids love to eat in Pancake House after injections and vaccinations :)
