When IHOP opened earlier this year, bloggers, journalists and netizens were all going crazy. Everyone wanted to try the pancakes that conquered America. So as all of you may know already iHop is just a diner in the US. Apparently it was marketed as more upscale or sosyal here in the Philippines by making it a restaurant. The location itself of the restaurant is a major selling point.
We were in High Street just this summer and we headed to iHop for dinner. When we got there the place was already full. I just gave my number to the hostess and she said that she would text us as soon as there is a vacant table. So we strolled for a while. After 20 minutes, the girl was not texting so we just went back to iHop to check and ask. Apparently there was a seat available but she did not text us so whoever was there waiting got the table. However, there were vacant seats at the first floor so we just sat there. We were so hungry to wait for another table to be vacant at the second floor. After all we went there for the food.

| Onion Rings |
For our appetizer I ordered Onion Rings. We did not actually order this at first but I saw the table next to us and it looked so crispy and golden and sooo delicious. A bowl of these costs Php195 which is a little bit expensive but they were good. Instead of the usual garlic mayo dip this one had salsa. CRAVE HIT!

| Big Steak Omelette |
For my main dish, I picked from their Hearty Omelettes. Not only do you get an omelette but also two buttermilk pancakes. I picked the one that looked the most exciting, the Big Steak Omelette. It had tender strips of steak, hashbrown, tomatoes, cheese, green peppers, onions and mushrooms and was served with a salsa dip. This is a lovely dish. I love the omelette. It tastes different than regular omelettes I have tried. Maybe it was because of the batter they used. It made the egg fluffier and tastier. The strips of steak were definitely tender, the cheese and hasbrown were amazing. Everything about this was amazing. This omelette is a CRAVE HIT. They had a generous serving and the egg had a lot of fillings inside. This dish costs Php375 but if you want to substitute another pancake flavor for the buttermilk pancakes you have to add Php50.

| New York Cheesecake Pancakes |
I was enjoying my dinner at IHOP so I did not go for plain buttermilk pancakes. I chose to have New York Cheesecake. I don't think I even have to tell you my verdict. The picture itself tells you how appetizing the pancakes are. This is undoubtedly a HIT. It does not even need syrup. It was really fluffy and the strawberries were soooo good. To make it a little bit sweeter we poured a little bit of Old Fashioned syrup and it just made the dish even more amazing. Definitely a must try.

| Strawberry Banana Danish Fruit Crepe |
Geraldine ordered the International Crepe Passport Combo. So what is it exactly? It is your choice of crepe served with two eggs, two bacon strips and two pork sausages all for Php285. Since she has a sweet tooth and she loves strawberries she got the Strawberry Banana Danish Fruit Crepe. We loved it. Of course the crepe was soft, the strawberries were good and the cream cheese added a bit of sweetness. Everything just went well together. A must try, a CRAVE HIT.

| Two eggs, Two pork sausage links, Two bacon strips |
Even these guys here did not disappoint. The sausage links tasted great. Geraldine even wanted more of them. The bacon were crispy just like how she wanted them. The eggs were, uhmmm, eggs. LOL.
We loved our iHop experience. It was worth the wait and the long lines. And their food was really heavy. We were not able to finish everything. Their breakfast meals are perfect any time of the day. We went home happy (and with a lot of takeout).
