Banapple

Banapple; a contraction of banana and apple. Also a quaint and cramped restaurant along Katipunan which apparently built its fame on its banana toffee cream pie.

I (we) happened upon this hole-in-the-wall restaurant coming from a wake and going back to the office. The decision to stop was cemented when one passenger praised the pie as the best he's had.

The restaurant was homey; food was okay (yes just okay) but portions are huge! Great value for money (we of the Makati lunch set marveled at the price and portion).

The main event, of course, was the banoffee pie. Two huge slices were served (again, if one was used to the puny servings one gets in Makati restaurants, Banapple's portion sizes are gianormous!). Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to love the pie, I only just liked it. I haven't tried the other desserts (apart from a take-away apple pie slice, which is still sitting in my fridge) but I wouldn't go out of my way to.

All in all, a good everyday, value for money, restaurant.
