Malcolm's Deli at The Fort

Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day. I rarely eat breakfast because I wake up late. :)

I made an extra effort to get up early this morning, though. I wanted to try Malcolm's Deli's buttermilk pancakes and see what the buzz is all about.

Malcolm's rubber coaster. Like!

Malcolm's Deli is located right behind Joey Pepperoni Pizzeria on the ground floor of Fairways Tower. There's an ample amount of parking space beside it, and it's free, too! Speaking of free, they also provide free Wi-Fi internet access.

The deli's interiors are casual but not cozy enough due to the amount of natural light coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Now for the main event. Ready? Presenting Malcolm's buttermilk pancakes!

PhP 230 - Mini Stack

The pancakes were pretty to look at, to begin with, and they smell divine! They were dense but fluffier than most I've tried.

The only pancakes here in the Philippines that comes close to Malcolm's in terms of fluffiness and size are those they served at the now-defunct 19th Tee at Camp John Hay. The taste doesn't come close though. Malcolm's buttermilk pancakes are simply amazing!

The maple syrup's not too sweet and the consistency was just right. The pancakes were dusted with lots of confectioner's sugar. I was actually worried that it'll be too sweet when I added the syrup but it turned out great.

It was wise of me to choose the Mini Stack (2 pcs) over Malcolm's stack (3 pcs) because these flapjacks are huge! The Mini Stack can actually be shared by 2 persons.

Hubs chose the Wagyu Marinated Beef Tapa with fried rice and scrambled eggs. The tapa was good. Nothing extraordinary, though. The usual sweet, salty, and a bit sour blend.

Beef Tapa PhP 300

The buttermilk pancakes and wagyu tapa comes with a brewed cup of joe. Nothing spectacular about this.

This Irish Benedict's delicious! Even the country-style potatoes and the leafy greens with raspberry vinaigrette were excellent! I'm excited to try Malcolm's Benedict next time!
