Before you dive into the dizzying Christmas season, we suggest you take a deep breath and smell the waffles at Rustic Mornings by Isabelo, a garden restaurant in Marikina originally run as a by appointment only dinner place but now an all-day breakfast retreat. But if you can’t find it in you to brave the Marcos Highway traffic, you can also try doing this at home — all you’ll need are eggs, flour, oil, vanilla and egg whites — as chef Portia Baluyut demonstrates below.
Rustic Mornings, 11 Isabelo Mendoza St, Bgy San Roque, Marikina; +63 2 5106914. Daily 8am-4pm.
