For Php 159, Byron's Backribs is served with Garlic Rice topped with Fried Garlic and Atchara. Mouthwatering, isn't it?

Pardon the mobile phone pics. For a better view, here is a picture from their Facebook page.

As the company's Facebook page says it is a Singaporean café that serves Asian food in addition to coffee, milk tea and breads.

Yummy!

I love soft boil eggs, its a healthy way to get your protein. I am glad Toast Box has them.

"Eat like A Viking," says Vikings, the country's largest buffet restaurant. In the country, they have 11 branches and each branch has its own theme.

 
Vikings Bacolod takes inspiration from the "starry nights  of Manhattan City." With so many flavors to choose from, it is a luxurious feast at this massive restaurant. It is best to enjoy this grand buffet experience with your family or group of friends.

They also have reasonable rates. Here in bacolod the rate for adult diners is Php588 (service charge of  5% not yet included) whether you come in at lunch or at dinner time.) Just think about being able to eat as much sushi as you want for just a little over Php500. Japanese restaurants here serve sushi at half that price of like what, 4-6 pcs?


 At that time, carbonara was not on the menu, instead, they were serving ravioli and spaghetti with a differnt kind of white sauce at the pasta section.
And they have a section that offers roast beef, sausages and roast pork. Just ask the guy to carve the meat for you and you can choose to have it rare, medium rare or well done. And there are different sauces to choose from.   


And the middle portion has all sorts of drinks, hot or cold. They also have draft beer. Take note that wines are sold separately. They also have all deserts at the middle. Regularly, they have ice cream, jell-o shots, cakes, cheese cakes, etc. Have all the sweets that you want. This was the last thing I stuffed myself with.


Regarding the food, they have a wide selection of flavors. I just was not able to snap all or them. To make the short story shorter, if you have a seriously big appetite VIKINGS gives value for your money.

Have you been to any of their eleven branches? What was your favorite?

I usually hangout somewhere in the east side of the city, thus, i have decided to talk about this nice little shop called Sofia Bread & Pastries. This dainty bakery offers only the freshest breads and pastries everyday. It is one of the best bakeries in Bacolod City


If you are looking to satisfy your sugar cravings, look no further. Sofia Bread & Pastries sells cakes, muffins, cheesecakes, cookies and other sweet delicacies that are really very good.

On the other hand, their breads are just as dreamy. Judging by the texture, the softness and ultimately the taste, it is not hard to tell that they use only the higheat-grade ingredients. This gives them the greatest distinction over other bakeries that sell bread at very low prices but at a significantly low, low quality.

And of course, they serve beverage that go perfectly well with either bread or pastry--coffee. Besides being a bakery, you can come in, take a seat and enjoy a quiet time over a cup of cappuccino or espresso.

Oh, by the way, they also serve pasta and cold coffee concoctions.


Similarly, the peaceful ambiance of this shop makes this Sofia Bread & Pastries branch a perfect gathering spot for a small group of people who want to exchange pleasantries.

Before you head out to visit Sofia, let me present some of their best products:

This is Sofia's take on the classic Spanish roll. The bread is soft with just the right amount of that sweet filling. It may cost twice the price of those sold by hole-in-the-wall bakeries but the flavor is superior. One or two is satisfying, but feel free to have more if you wish.

They also serve one of these Filipino favorites. Cheese-de-sal, which, of course, is the classic pan de sal with a cheese filling. You can forget that the normal pan de sal from other bakeryh shops is 5 times cheaper because Sofia's version tastes way better. One or two can already fill you up.

When I went there, my personal favorite: Pan de Coco

Here is a peek at their bigger-than-usual muffins...yum!
This shop is located at Hi Strip 4, Villa Angela City, Carlos Hilado Hwy, Bacolod, Negros Occidental.They also have other branches in the City with their main branch located at Narra Avenue, Shopping, Bacolod. The other one is located next to Robinsons Mall.
So visit Sofia one of these days and enjoy a cup of coffee over bread or pastry either alone or with a couple of friends. What is your favorite baked treat? Share your comment below.


Disclaimer: This is my own, honest opinion as a regular customer of the Sofia Bread & Pastries. As you can see the photos were actually taken by my phone---secretly. hahaha, sneaky, sneaky!
