I love Fully Booked. It’s one of my happy
places when I’m in the mood to see quirky notepads, fangirl on the latest manga
or swoon over interesting books. I have been meaning to try Press Café, the
coffee shop inside Fully Booked, Rockwell
branch; but for some reason, it always get cancelled…until the night I met John
Wick.
A few
Couchsurfers and I were supposed to meet at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf a few
Saturdays ago but since it was crowded, we decided to meet at Press Café instead.
We were just
supposed to have coffee but it was my first time to dine there so… I just have
to order at least three dishes. I went with Eggs Benedict (PHP260), Tomato
soup (PHP125), Grape shake
(PHP110) and an Oatmeal cookie
(PHP70).
First served
was my grape
shake and it was refreshing.
It wasn’t overly sweetened.
The tomato
soup was love. Though a bit thick to be an appetizer, it had the tangy
taste that I love. The bread on the soup added texture and made it even
more filling.
The Eggs
Benedict came with a forest ham which was a bit too red for me. But it was
pretty good with the poached
eggs, and Hollandaise
sauce. I also liked the overdose of onions!
The oatmeal
cookie
was pretty big though fair enough for its price. It was pretty good too though
keep a glass of water ready as it could make your throat a bit itchy.
Overall, it
was a filling late lunch. I’ll try the pasta
and quesadillas
next time.
