One winter morning, I woke up at Grandeur Hotel's comfortable king-size bed, kissed the morning sun at the hotel's roof deck and sweetly begged my husband to hop out of the bed and have a breakfast date with me at IHOP! International House of Pancakes, is a newly-opened American restaurant at Mall of the Emirates. Being a pancake-fanatic, I was too ecstatic to dine at IHOP. I couldn't stop talking about it, so at 8:00 am, Ed happily obliged to take me out on a date! :)
IHOP at Mall of the Emirates (there is also a branch at Dubai Marina) |
Every table at IHOP has a set of pancake syrups and a thermal mug for refillable coffee.
Pancake Syrups: Strawberry, Butter Pecan, Blueberry, Original |
The thermal mug, which they took since we didn't ordered coffee. |
Ed's breakfast beverage: mint tea |
My morning wake-up drink: Swiss Mocha |
Breakfast Date! |
For breakfast, I had an omelet and buttermilk pancakes, while Ed had the breakfast sampler and New York Cheesecake pancake. The servings were huge, the food looked delectable, but tasted pretty average. As a pancake-fanatic, I had high hopes of having the best at IHOP, but the flavor didn't even reached half of my expectations. We had a very simple breakfast meal at a very expensive price.

Thanks for dropping by Eliz! I visited your blog already. :)
Deletethe breakfast sampler look yummy...sarap na agahan...
ReplyDeleteEverything looks good! And though you've been consistently posting about your food escapades, you never seem to gain any pound! :)
ReplyDeletegrabe, that was a heavy breakfast...the pancakes and the omelette looks so tasty
ReplyDeleteThe breakfast sampler does look tempting but I am only interested in the scrambled eggs and hash browns. Sarap! I like that they have coffee on the table and all those syrups. Nice. Saves you the time of looking for them. Looks very cozy for a quiet breakfast. :-)
ReplyDeletekakagutom naman...Perfect way to start morning....
ReplyDeleteI LOVE breakfast! I love pancakes! Super nakakagutom like Daddy Allan! :) We don't have iHop pa ata here. :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes if we have high expectations, we feel so disappointed when we they are not met. I understand you. Binawi na lang siguro sa presentation :D
ReplyDeleteThey have not opened any IHOP here in Canada. Its one of the restos that I want to try. When I get the chance, I will remember your advice.
ReplyDeleteI also love pan cakes but I want a simple one, yung plain lang. I don't like it to have much toppings or syrup. Love you omelette! Your breakfast is indeed expensive. But anyway, at least you were able to try. :)
ReplyDeleteOi, you just gave me an idea! We'll have a breakfast date this Valentine's! We haven't had one. It's usually lunch or dinner. hahaha
ReplyDeleteYummy breakfasts. This photos makes me hungrier! I need to devour a bowl of food or something.
