The problem with working the night shift is that I run out of restaurants to go to during my rest days since I eat lunch around midnight. I'm not even gonna try and punish my body by living the normal hours when I'm not working and switch back to being a nocturnal creature during work days.
Ever since the BPO industry blew up in the Philippines, almost every fast food joint in town began operating 24/7 but most restaurants still close early. It is so damn hard to find a good place to go to in the middle of the night. I can only eat so much junk food. I'd rather pay more just to get a decent meal which doesn't consist of burger, fries or pizza.
There's a row of restaurants being put up in the same compound where I work (UP Ayala Technohub). So far only 3 are open. Yellow Cab Pizza, The Old Spaghetti House and Flap Jacks. I was curious what Flap Jacks had to offer so I decided to check it out.
Here are some photos

My verdict?
It's weird but while I was enjoying my meal I said to myself, "This stuff is good!" but as soon as I stepped out I was like, "Fuck that joint, I ain't going back there again."
Maybe I was just upset at the prices. Maybe I was expecting more since the people behind Flap Jacks are the same people behind TGI Friday's, Fish and Co., etc. Maybe I didn't like it because it was too close to my house and I enjoy long drives especially when there's no heavy traffic. Maybe because it was the few selection of food. I dunno, maybe you should check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.
Maybe I shouldn't have published this entry.
Ha ha.
