| - Craving for Filipino food, I go on good ol trusty (mostly) Yelp to find a spot. This place has unusually high rating, good reviews, and the food looks delicious. Unfortunately, my experience was far from the case. Since I was looking forward to try At My Place Cafe, I suggested it to my aunt and thought it would be a nice experience for my grandma who had cancer (RIP) to try something new.
When we walked in, there weren't too many people, the atmosphere was quiet and there were plenty of seats to choose from. Their first mistake was not having a menu that wasn't handwritten and hanging on the wall. This is really inconvenient and for some, very hard to read. We figured out what we wanted and it took a while for someone to take our order. Didn't really think anything of it until we were waiting about 20-30 minutes and watching other people get their food that were there after us.
We asked about it and the lady just said "yes, it's coming". My aunt informed her beforehand to bring out my grandma's food first because she was really hungry and she said "yes, yes". After 30 mins, she finally gives us our beverages which was water and a fountain lemonade. Five minutes later, she comes out with mine and my aunt's order which is pretty annoying when we asked for them to bring my grandma's order first. Now she has to see our food while she's hungry. We of course offer ours and she says it's too salty. I ordered the chicken adobo breakfast which I felt was basic enough to not mess up and my aunt ordered pancit. Both dishes that seem to be very simple and should not take 35 minutes to make.
Ten minutes later, my grandma's dish comes out and of course it is the wrong order. She had ordered pork with vegetables but they gave her shrimp. It has been 45 minutes now and we are not about to send it back. My aunt said her dish was okay but kind of oily, the vegetables my grandma had were very bitter, and my chicken adobo was salty, bland in flavor and some of the chicken was dry; the egg was overcooked. I had also ordered the halo halo which I did not finish because it was gross.
The only positive thing I can say about the food was that it had good presentation. When we asked why it took so long, someone said it's because they used fresh ingredients (I saw this in a review too). I'm pretty sure most places use fresh ingredients and don't take this long. I might have been more forgiving if the people who worked there were more apologetic. Since we had to pay ahead before knowing what our experience would be like, my aunt really regretted tipping them so much and I ended up feeling bad for being the one suggesting this place. Terrible service and very mediocre food.
