Wildflour Cafe + Bakery

If there is one thing you must know about me, it is that breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. When mornings are rough, it only takes the thought of breakfast to get me out of bed. It is only natural then that brunch is a close second. So when my friend K wanted to eat late one afternoon, I made the effort to look up new places to try, only to decide on Wildflour, which always happens.

I can say I am picky with where I eat out, and there are only a few no-fail restaurants on my Manila list that I frequent to get my fix of comfort breakfast food. Wildflour is definitely up there. Just be ready to be a little more patient with the service.

Smoked salmon with caramelized onions, lemons, capers

Wildflour is known for their tarte flambeés -- a thinly rolled out bread that to me is comparable to flatbread but is softer and flakier. We went with the smoked salmon. It was delicious and not as salty as I thought it would be because of the white sauce drizzled on top. Sweet and Savory. What's not to love!

Kitayama flat iron steak, kimchi fried rice

We also shared that beautiful plate of steak and eggs. I love kimchi and I love runny yolks. I always try to change up my order when i'm at Wildflour but this ends up in front of me every time.

To finish off our hearty meal, we ordered a slice of cake for dessert. #effyoubody #whatdiet
Since Wildflour is also known for its pastries, we had a hard time deciding on dessert because everything sounded good. All we knew was we wanted something cold because the Manila heat takes some getting used to after you've been away for a while!

We settled with the salted chocolate cake because it came highly recommended. As a die-hard fan of dark chocolate with a hint of sea salt, I was already eyeing it to begin with. 

The verdict? It was good but nothing I would crave unlike The Cake Club's "supermoist chocolate cake." The cake itself was pretty dry so it was really the frosting that made the dish. It was almost like eating cold chocolate fudge--the really good kind that stuck to your teeth and is the slightest bit chewy. The slice was HUGE though (both our eyes widened when it arrived at our table) so we didn't end up finishing it.

Also got my little sister a yogurt parfait to-go. I love yogurt parfaits and Wildflour's version is perfect. It can be a little too sweet at times because of the honey but the thick Greek-like (could be Greek?) yogurt they use perfectly balances the sweet mangoes and homemade granola.

As always, meals at Wildflour make me feel just right -- not too stuffed but certainly satisfied. Especially because I had even better company to reminisce high school moments and talk endlessly about love, life, and all things good with.
