Back To Beanstalk, originally uploaded by rjmarmol.

Had coffee with Ritchie at Beanstalk tonight. This is after taking time out with his bosses and officemates at a nearby resort. Was only there a few hours, didn’t even get to swim, but it’s fine. By the way, photo up there is a new offering at Beanstalk Cafe (Calamba), it’s called “open-faced roasted chicken salad”. Yes, I know the name doesn’t sound delicious at all, pretty gross even. I can assure you though that it tastes good. It’s roasted chicken drenched in gravy sauce, served on top of white bread and fresh lettuce and chips on the side. This is what I ate together with my Beanstalk staples: caramel macchiato, french fries and banana split. I haven’t been there for quite a few weeks, months even, I guess, so it was great to have coffee there once again. For those who want to know, it’s located at the rooftop (5th floor) of the new Calamba Executive Center, across the bus terminal at Crossing. The building lies on the Crossing-Halang road that leads to the famous resorts of Pansol, Laguna. Do visit if you’re within the area. Shop hours/schedule: Beanstalk Cafe is open Mondays thru Saturdays from 4pm-12mn. Last order taken at 11pm. Check my other previous post about Beanstalk Cafe Calamba here .
