Our Story:
Toll House has been around for a very long time. The main branch is located near 7-11, Holy Angel University. I think most of the people in Pampanga had been in this place already - but if you haven't.. well check this out! :)
The place looks okay, they have maintained it and added some improvements like replacing the chairs etc. When you come in the security guards greets you and asks if you will dine in or will take out. If you will take out, you will go straight to the counter to order then be seated on a couch for people who takes out.
It was a very bad service back then, the food is great, the place is great but these waiting staff are really bad and mean and lazy. They stand all together in one place but nobody will notice you. Once they do, they point and push one another whom will do the work. Some of them even pretend that they did not notice you even if you had an eye to eye contact with them. Super not cool. And everything takes too much time, the food, the bill, the change, the requested tissue/water. hay nako!
But now a miracle happened, maybe they change the management or the system, now its easy and relax. Every bad things about the diner is gone. Here are some of the food we had in here.
Chili Prawns - ₱150
As always.. when there's shrimp/prawns, there's me :)
This dish comes with a macaroni salad and a cup of rice. It has 3-4 pcs of prawns deep in a barbecue sauce. Its my second favourite dish in this place. Really great but I cannot taste the "chilli" on it.
Chicken Liver Adobo
My favourite! It comes with a macaroni salad ang a cup of rice. It has 3-4pcs of chicken liver and cooked in Adobo flavor. The taste is very different from other Adobo, its unique and really good. The sauce is thick unlike the ordinary adobo.At first I was kinda disappointed on how it turn out.. I though i would be a whole chicken part instead of chicken strips. But the taste is really good, doesn't taste barbecue but still good. Its a "new" for me.
Pancit Palabok - ₱70
Really great but nothing special - just the same with other palabok. The serving size got smaller.
Cocoa Cake
Our favorite cake! We go crazy over this cake! Very different from other chocolate cakes. The taste of cocoa is really great in this one. Most of the time its not available - dont know if sold out or what. - I dont have a good shot of it, I snapped then eat it fast! We also had a chocolate shake - very ordinary but still good.
Sago't Gulaman - ₱60
Really Good :) Sweet but not too sweet. Tastes like the others but one thing that makes it different is served with shaved ice not cube ice.
Lemonade with Cucumber - ₱60
Very disappointing. I thought it would be real juice of lemons but its not. Its a powder juice and it does not taste good. They also got buko juice - ₱55 which is always not available - they use real buko juice with this one.And that's it!
Also, they grew so much and improved so much. They are now much accessible as they open branches around Pampanga. Soon they will be opening at SM Clark. One thing I notice in these branches is that the menu is very limited - they do not have chicken liver adobo, making it only available in the main branch.
Here is a photo of some of the cakes available in Toll House.
