Review: Pound by Todd English
Everytime I would crave for a really good burger, the first restaurant that we would always check out is Pound by Todd English .
We frequent the Robinson Ermita branch because that's our favorite mall (a.k.a. the only decent mall accessible to us coz we all hate traffic).

| Sliders (2pcs) - 155Php |
My favorite is the Sliders. 2pcs mini burgers for only 155Php. Sulit! And I must tell you, they have the juiciest burger patty and the yummiest crispy onion.
 |
| Mix Chicken Wings - 235Php |
Another favorite is their chicken wings! If I am not mistaken, they have 3 flavors of wings which are all good. I love that the wings are not too spicy so my daughter was able to munch on them.
We would usually order this and a cup or two of white rice and super busog na.

| Caramelized Bacon Alfredo (Full Size) - 250 Php |
Another favorite is their alfredo pasta which is a perfect cream pasta that is also a hit to the kids and kids at heart. The pasta is not nakakaumay and the caramelized bacon helped enhance the flavor.

| Crispy Chicken Sliders (2pcs) - 195Php |
On our last visit, we tried their crispy chicken sliders because the #FabSkye asked for it. But I didn't really like it. It's too crispy and just too big for a chicken burger with teeny tiny burger buns. If eaten as a dish, it's actually really yummy. Ayun! Inulam ko nalang sya.
But what I really love most about the restaurant is the ambiance. The nice black interiors with golds here and there. The very prompt waiters and the fast and efficient service. It is always a nice dining experience whenever we are there.
And Paco’s best place must be the Paco Park. I remember going here way back in college. During one of our long breaks. We’d stay on the park, walk on the walls and study. It’s a quiet place.
Lately, I’ve been frequenting the place because of the church. I used to go to Paco Church but since Paco Church is big and most of the people go there, I find it crowded. There are times when the place is too crowded that I can’t concentrate on the mass, that’s also why I don’t do Sunday churches anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I may not attend mass every single Sunday but I am a Catholic. I practice my religion the best way I can and I love my God and show my love the best way I can.
And so when The Companion asked me to attend mass at Paco Church ans said yes, I’m so glad I did. :) Because the place is perfect for me. The church is small and there are only enough people inside the church. I can hear the sermon well and I can concentrate on the gospel.
