Pan de Amerikana in Marikina

If there is one place that I might want to visit again and again, it's Pan de Amerikana in Marikina City.

.

We spent several occasions at Pan de Amerikana because the food is very affordable and the place is very relaxing. For less than P1,000, our family (group of 12) enjoyed the time we spent here. They have affordable and yummy breakfast like tocino, omelet, tapsilog and a lot more and off course they have a very tasty wheat pandesal (mega sized wheat at P5.50, giant Pandesal Pan Amerikano at P55).

Pan de Amerikana is a restaurant in garden setting with water falls, tree house, rope bridge, koi pond, traviesa benches, old antique wood tables, batibot chairs and tables, tropical rain forest plants, wishing well and Italian colonnade European ruins. It's ideal for any occasion and it will really work on your budget.

We also enjoy playing chess will eating our breakfast for many of their tables have a built-in chess board, all you need to do is borrow from the cashier one set of chess pieces.

Playing chess once again reminds me of my high school and collage days were I became a chess varsity player. I even joined the chess club here in Marikina and played with the top players of our town. I never won any single tournament but the experience was great, though I won some in our school (I wonder if I could still play skillfully)

.

There are these jumbo-sized three and a half (3 1/2) feet high plastic chess pieces imported from New York City with matching jumbo chess clock that you could actually use to play chess or simply take some photo souvenirs for your family. It was very tiring playing the jumbo chess as if I was working out on a gym.

.

A group of photographers and art enthusiasts also have their regular meeting at Pan de Amerikana. they also hold workshops here (I might join them in the near future)

.

Pan de Amerikana is a good place for families, chess enthusiasts, couples and photographers. You might want to eat here after you visit the World of Butterflies in Marikina City.They opens from 6am to 7pm daily except Sundays which only opens from 6am to 3pm. Located at No. 92 Ordoñez Street (Molave Street) Concepcion Dos Marikina City. For reservation, please call at telephone number 475-2398 and look for Mean.

Everlasting and Waknatoy, these dishes were invented in the kitchens of Marikina. The everlasting is their version of Embotido, everlasting is a regular dish at the table of Marikeños during fiestas and other gatherings. Waknatoy is similar to menudo though I haven't tried it yet.

Don't forget to buy the authentic 1950's pandesal and their ensaymada.
