The holiday season is always a special time to bond with colleagues, and this year, our office decided to kick things off with a breakfast party at Banapple, Tuscany, McKinley Hill. At 8 AM sharp, we gathered in the cozy and inviting ambiance of the restaurant, excited to share laughs, exchange gifts, and enjoy a delicious holiday spread. The warmth of the restaurant’s interior perfectly complemented the festive spirit, making it an ideal venue for a small yet meaningful celebration.

One of the highlights of the morning was the exchange gift activity with a twist. Instead of the usual pick-a-name format, we incorporated a fun game where participants had to complete challenges to earn their gift. This added a layer of excitement and joy, filling the air with laughter. The camaraderie among us, amplified by the holiday spirit, turned what could have been a regular breakfast into an unforgettable event.

The food at Banapple did not disappoint, living up to its reputation for serving hearty and flavorful dishes. My friends ordered a variety of menu items, including the Hickory Smoked Barbequed Country Ribs, which were tender and bursting with smoky flavors, and the Bacon Fried Chicken Steaks with Milk’shroom Gravy, a crowd favorite with its crispy chicken and creamy gravy topped with bacon bits. For dessert, the Banoffee Pie stood out with its sweet banana and toffee filling, buttery crust, and whipped cream topping.

I personally tried the Golden Sunshine Corned Beef and Potatoes, and it was a delightful dish that hit all the right notes. The corned beef was shredded to perfection, paired with diced potatoes and caramelized onions, and served with seasoned rice and sunny-side-up eggs. The flavors were well-balanced and comforting—perfect for a festive breakfast. Price-wise, Banapple offers good value for money, with dishes ranging from ₱200 to ₱400, which is reasonable considering the generous portions and quality of food.
