The Eatventurers opened this mini-food review section for all the food we tried via take-out, food stalls, or those new food on hype.
First food we'll review
— the newly-opened
Pablo.

| Is it worth lining up for? |
A little background on Pablo: It is world-famous for its cheese tarts which originated from Osaka, Japan. It has opened its very first branch in Manila last September 15, Thursday... but again,
is it worth lining up for?
The answer is: it depends.
For our case, my parents fell in line for three hours to bring home one of the most talked-about pastries in town, so, if you are willing to fall in line for hours, then it is worth it. They ordered the original
cheese tart for me, priced at P599. I've got high hopes for this cheese tart but yes, it lived up to its promise of
richness, gooey-ness, and
fluffy-ness. It was worth it.

| Proof: Look at that filling |
Its price though, is not that economical for it ranges from P599 above. My Japanese friend said the price is doubled here, for it only costs P250 to 300 back in Japan. The serving is not as big as I thought it was, as seen in photos, but it can be shared by four people and can also be finished by a single person. Think: pancake, but a little bigger.
Aside from the rich taste, Pablo's cheese tart's velvet texture and flaky crust gave oomph to it. It's medium rare, by the way. (Yes, like the steak.)
Verdict: 3.5/5 - Not so life-changing but tastes good. We will come back for the chocolate cheese tart and maybe try the matcha too!
Here's a little photo blog on Pablo as told by my parents:
