Angel's Kitchen

Review: 2 out of 5 stars

Sunday lunch brought us to Angel's Kitchen. Right along Connecticut street, it was a convenient place to have a quick lunch right after the 12 pm mass at Santuario de San Jose. Toting a Mcdo Spaghetti for the little one, we were greeted by a waitress who eyed the Mcdo bag in my hand suspiciously. After asking for a table for 3, she pointed to the bag and said, "I'm sorry bawal ho yan." I smiled and said, "para sa anak ko" which was promptly replied with a "Kami ho yung papagalitan."

It was a bad start to begin with plus, Caelum started whining and acting up even after he ate his spaghetti (which we ate at a bench outside the restaurant). I don't even know why I didn't bother talking to management... Sometimes, when trying new restos, we bring a familiar food for Caelum just in case there's nothing that my picky eater will agree to chomp.

Blue opted for the ostrich salpicao which I did not try, while I quickly chose the callos for my order. Seeing that we were seated right in front of the cashier, I put on a frown and gulped away my food while Blue was left to chase Caelum around the restaurant. Seeing the interactions of the owner and who I presumed to be the daughter, with the servers, I thought that they were either under stress or were truly prickly and unfriendly people. Not once did I see a smile when we glanced at each other.

The food was alright, I got a big bowl of callos while Blue got a generous serving of salpicao as well. Unable to get any starters or desserts, it would be unfair for me to judge them overall but price-wise from what I saw on the menu, this restaurant would not fall under affordable. Although selection is wide (beef, chicken, pork, seafood) most dishes are at least P300.

Just for being a toddler-unfriendly place, Angel's Kitchen does not warrant a second visit for me.
