First of all, the overall feel and decor of this place was so adorable and homey! It makes breakfast-all-day even better! Their staff was very friendly and attentive as well.As I pescetarian (no red and white meat, only seafood), I wasn't sure if I had much options here because the standard Filipino breakfast is meat like longganiza, tocino, tapa, etc.. Granted, this place did have just those things, but their menu is so balanced that I had so many options!! I've actually gone back so many times just so that I could try all their seafood dishes! I would recommend all of it but my absolute favorite is and will always be their gourmet tuyo! The pesto on top of the tomato on the side adds a wonderful different sort of flavor to the whole thing and so when I eat all of it together, it's like a party in my mouth! Also, they can actually make my favorite fluffy scrambled eggs that I once thought only my mom could ever accomplish cooking. But they make theirs perfectly!!I find it so amazing how many twists they were able to incorporate into traditional Filipino dishes, especially in their dessert. Their champorado takes like actual native cocoa, which definitely tastes so much better than the artificial prepacked ones I make at home. Buko sherbet has always been my mom's favorite and it's rare that she finds one that takes just as good as the ones from her hometown. But every time I come back, she always makes up an excuse to come along so she can have some of the sherbet! Oh and don't even get me started on their special Brother's Turon and the Tanglad-Ginger-Pandan Cooler :((( For those who haven't tried the turon, I won't spoil their secret twist ;) But I can assure you that it will blow your mind and sing with your taste buds!So glad to have discovered this amazing place and their awesome food! Would highly suggest you go and give it a try too!

Shop is cozy and can be cramped during lunchtime on weekends. They have limited tables so be sure to go here before lunchtime especially during weekends. Parking is also limited and shared with other tenants of the building. Kinda expensive for a breakfast meal set for me, but the food here is delicious especially their Brothers tapa (Sirloin) which I always order whenever I go here and pair that with a nice cup of coffee to cap your breakfast meal anytime of the day (or night).

I am not a big brunch fan but sometimes during lazy weekends I get in the mood. Obviously, the Buttermilk Pancakes are a must have - I tried both the Plain and the Blueberry pancakes. The blueberry glaze was so delicious and so I'd have to say I enjoyed it more than the regular one. I also got an entree dish with bacon, toast, and sunny side-up eggs to satiate my savoury palate. Thumbs up!My friend got the Crispy Adobo Flakes that she couldn't stop talking about. According to her, the chicken was as good as the last time--perfectly seasoned and tender--which, for a lot of restaurants can be hard to achieve with rotating kitchen staff. Service was a little on the slow side (not that bad) but it was packed so it was understandable. Overall, a good breakfast place on Lilac Street!
