| - Goldilocks doesn't serve amazing food. Goldilocks doesn't serve crappy food. It's just right.
OK that was a labored analogy to the fairy tale. I've been to this restaurant twice and I've enjoyed it both times. The first time a few years ago, I had the classic Filo "ToSiLog" breakfast - tocino, sinangag (garlic fried rice) and itlog (egg). It's pretty hard to mess that up, so I remember it being pretty good.
Flash forward to yesterday, I went with a meetup group for their weekend breakfast buffet. It costs $7.99 for AYCE and soda/coffee/tea. That's a pretty good deal considering their breakfast items are actually good. I recently did Nanay Gloria's buffet during breakfast and I'd have to say Goldilocks is a notch better. For one thing, the eggs at Goldilocks are not cooked over hard and are still runny! For me, that's kind of a prerequisite for a ___SiLog type of breakfast. They have all the favorites too - daing, tocino, longanisa, corned beef hash, salted egg, chicken adobo, and of course over easy itlog and sinangag. I didn't try their champorado though.
One thing about their breakfast buffet. I guess they are normally a "turo turo" place i.e. you point at what you want and they add it to your plate. It's the same way for the breakfast buffet. It's just that you can get as much as you want and keep returning.
And return I will. It's quite a drive for me to just get breakfast, and I don't usually eat breakfast as it is, but so far it's the best Filo breakfast option I know about.
