Take the 1st Glimpse of Hog's Breath Cafe in Phil's

January 4, 2012. Friday. A new year, new beginning and a brand new place to dine at here in HOG’S BREATH CAFÉ. The first HBC branch in Philippines situated in SM Premiere, Lanang Fountain Court.

Woah, very spacious café and bar surrounded with flat screen televisions showing different movies and channels, new! Walls were delimited with lots and lots of frames and plate numbers, hmm fresh! For first timers like me, getting in isn’t difficult since you’ll be accompanied with your personal service crew which will help you get acquainted with their cuisine.  HBC had been boasting their Aussie inspired prime rib steak, and we’re about to taste it.

Here’s their best tasting “Garlic Prawn Prime Rib Steak” placed in a huge plate with two side dishes. You may essentially choose what sidings to be placed in from vegetable, Salad, and Fries. For an Aussie appetite this serving is good for an individual, but for Filipinos this serving can be shared by two. Great! But the greatest thing there is its taste! Really appetizing and flavorful! Never been tough for a date. Quality steak in a quality steakhouse! All worth the price! Best Serve in a medium rare type.

Another saleable dish they offer is “Golden Prawn Tempura” rested in chips (either banana or cassava chips) I forgot to ask, served in their own prawn dip sauce and veggies. I was actually amazed with its chips. Hahah.

Good thing plain rice was no longer available, so we opted to be served with what they called “Cajun Rice”, formerly known as “the dirty rice”, not much known but we’ve tried and the result? Unregretful!

For our smoothies and juice, we chose “Tropical Smoothie” and my partner’s favorite “Apple juice”.  In fact, they were serving several drinks includes mojitos, beers, wines, sharp shooters, and premium spirits.

I’ve read that HBC are planning to build their second branch in Manila and next in Cagayan De Oro.

I’d like to mention our personal service crew “Stelle” who have been very kind in taking some photo shots down the café while we’re having our dinner.  Other crews were really accommodating; no discrimination I think was tolerated.

I’ve took some photos from their menu.

Ta ta! My company!
