I am someone
who passionately believes in the ideology that breakfast is the most important
meal of the day. For one, I never leave home without having my breakfast
because I won’t be having the energy I needed to last me through the day if I won’t
be getting my dose of daily sustenance from my first meal. And to be honest
about it, thinking of creative ways on what to eat for breakfast everyday may
actually be draining as well. So when an opportunity to do a food review for an
American-Asian inspired restaurant with an all-day breakfast concept called
Peach Boy Restaurant comes up, I was certain this was something I’d count
myself in.

For someone
who could eat breakfast meals all day long, dining at Peach Boy Restaurant
right in the heart of Mandaluyong City was indeed heaven for me. What is it
about breakfast meals that I am so enamored into it? For one, you could bring
in as many kinds of possible from all over the world. From its Asian-American
fusion cuisines, it’ll be like having breakfasts from different countries all
in one place.

Alright,
I’ll admit, living in the metro may exactly be a culinary paradise, eating only
breakfast food alone might be a bit of a far fetch. But, it’s pretty undeniable
that breakfast food, in its entirety, is AWESOME. I mean just think about hot
waffles, pancakes, bacon, eggs and sausages. Doesn’t that conjure up a
wonderfully irresistible image in your mind?
The newly
opened Peach Boy Restaurant promises to provide a unique dining experience that
will keep guests coming back for more. Peach Boy aims to serve original and enticing
food that’s also Instagram-able! It’s
varied menu ranges from Filipino breakfast staples to Hawaiian-Japanese fusion
dishes to classic American sandwiches and pastries.

Peach Boy offers
quality gourmet food at very reasonable prices, all their breakfast foods are
wholesome goodness that won’t make you walk away from the restaurant feeling
like you’ve been ripped off. Instead, they’ll leave you positively stuffed and
extremely satisfied at the end of your visit.
My friends
and I recently checked out Peach Boy Restaurant and what I really appreciate is
the personal space it gives its customers. Unlike other resto and coffee shops
I used to frequent, this don’t have tables just literally inches away from each
other, and Peach Boy understands this very need. With separate sections,
there’s plenty of space for everyone to settle down and have a conversation
that the next-door table won’t be able to eavesdrop on.
Crab and Cheesy Pockets |
The servings
are generous, eggs are cooked to perfection. And crispy French toast is, served
just the way you’ll love it. You might want to share it with someone because it’s
just so rich that one person might not be able to take this on alone.
Oh, and you won’t
have to go far and travel all the way to Boracay Island if you want to try
eating Chorizo Burger or Choriburger because they have it here. Served with
fries on the side, sold at Php155 per order, it is a pretty solid steal to me.
Peach Boy restaurant's Pork Belly Sandwich |
If chorizo
isn’t your thing, there’s Peach Pork Belly Sandwich which you could try as
well. Served on a warm bun of bread, it’s one loaded meal on a bed of crisp
fresh lettuce, complete with fries on the side. It’s sold at Php139 each, it might
sound measly for its steep price, but trust me, you’d be willing to hand over
all your money for this breakfast food.

Peach Boy's Chicken Teriyaki |
You may also
want to try their unique and innovative take on the Filipino favorite Laing
which they had incorporate with pesto and tinapa flakes on pasta. They call it
Laing Pesto with Tinapa Flakes. Sold at Php138 per bowl, it comes with garlic
bread on the side. Browsing on their menu, they have other innovative dishes
for you to try: Spicy Bicol Express with Lechon Bits, Creamy Aligue with
Shrimp, and Sweet Chicken with Spaghetti [I bet the kids will love this particular
dish].
I am partial
to their Chicken Teriyaki. It’s served with generous sauce and two cups of Java
rice and coleslaw side salad. Peach Boy’s take on Chicken Barbecue also reminds
me of Aristocrat’s chicken bbq which catapulted them to popularity back during
the days. Too bad, they weren’t able to consistently do the same quality all
through the years. And thank God for Peach Boy for coming up with almost the
same [if not maybe even better] recipe of the said chicken bbq dish.

For large
groups, Peach Boy has group platter too. Sink your teeth on their All Meat
Platter composed of chicken teriyaki, chicken bbq, and ribs with mounds of Java
rice and coleslaw and veggies served with dipping sauce. Groups can order from
any of their three platters (All Meat, BBQ, and Surf & Turf) which also
comes with their signature Peach Iced Tea. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or
dinner, every moment will be more than just peachy at Peach Boy. The restaurant
can accommodate parties, events, business meetings, or get-togethers with
family and friends.
For the
health conscious, worry not, they’ve also got something for you. There are
three salad variants to choose from: Caesar Salad [Php125], Asian Shrimp Salad
[Php135], and Peach Salad [Php135].

Those with
sweet tooth aren’t left behind too. Peach Boy has desserts and milkshakes to
die for! Their Peach Cobbler was recommended but I’m not really fond of stewed
fruits and warm desserts so it wasn’t much of a highlight for me. Nonetheless
it was sweet and still pretty good!
Their Matcha
Milkshake tastes great along with their Choco Mint Milkshake and Nutty Choco
Milkshake. But if you like natural fruit based ones, they’ve got buko shake and
watermelon shake to name some.

However,
what had really gotten the attention of food enthusiasts especially those from
Instagram nation was Peach Boy’s signature Ube Lava Pancake. They are the most
perfect, prettiest and fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever seen. It is a Hawaiian
inspired dish with its five layers of ube pancakes submerged in a fountain of
ube halaya sauce. Make sure to take a video or photo while being served this
Instagram worthy dish! It’s unconventionally conventional.
