Cruising along Ylagan St., an
out-of-towner is bound to miss this small restaurant just across the city
plaza. With a nondescript frontage, Cravings (which is more of a resto-bar)
maybe undersized – but can serve up big surprises.
Having any of their ‘silog’ breakfast
meals is a nice way to start the day. For dinner, the kids love the unique
Bolognara spaghetti while the wife’s favorite is the house specialty – Callos.
The garlicky beef salpicao and buffalo wings are more to my liking (esp. with,
ahem…cold pilsen). Do try the ‘lengua’ when available…so good.
Service given by waiters is fast and
friendly. On the other hand, the restrooms really need a major overhaul and
paint job. Not to mention some soap, toilet paper, etc. Doors are also closed
for business on Sundays. A snazzy signboard up front might just attract
those transients (and locals) who are looking for something other than the
usual fare.
Despite the downside, Cravings is like a
gem in the rough. Some polishing and more lighting will surely bring out the
brilliance of its core – which is great-tasting food at affordable rates. For a
place that’s small (sits less than 30), it delivers in a big way.
