Banapple
is a cafe/cakeshop/coffeeshop along Katipunan extension, owned by our
friend GJ. I worked with him during my PinoyExchange days - he was
still with Sky Internet then. And then in ABSi, I turned over my telco
relations duties to him. His wife has been baking for a long time now -
I have always ordered cheesecakes from them and gave these as gifts to
friends. They have also been supplying cheesecakes and pastries to some
coffeeshops/restaurants, like Windows. So it was a pleasant surprise
when we saw the Banapple sign weeks ago across Kopiroti. They're
expanding!
They
opened yesterday - so we made sure that we had lunch there. It was
another pleasant surprise that they also offered entrees. I ordered the
Herbed Chicken Rolls w/ Basil Cream Sauce (P145). It was good! Though
similar, it's not the usual cordon bleu/a la kiev. I really liked the
sauce. And even if I'm not fond of potato salad, theirs is actually
good.
