Not too long ago, our friends who came to visit us just can't stop raving about this C' restaurant in Clark Pampanga which is famous for their panizza - a super thin and oh-so-soft-and-at-the-same-time-crisp strips of pizza you roll with arugula and that other leafy vegetable (sorry I forgot, but It was delish I can tell yah) So with an almost empty stomachs we went there on a Sunday afternoon really excited to try everything. Inside the restaurant, it was cozy, silent, a little too warm when you're carrying a toddler and dark.
Coooozy.
If you know what I mean. So unlike the uncoziness ala Jolibee. At this point at Yllac's age he can handle coziness so I am not entirely sure what made him burst out crying. I was thinking, was it the plates all over the wall or the dim lights, or the brick walls or the huge statue at the lobby of the restaurant, or the lack of a window, but he sure made known to ALL that he doesn't like the restaurant. By the way, they have high chairs too, so I guess it's a baby friendly restaurant. And as long as the babies are happy, other diners are happy too. Since we don't want them unhappy, the moment Yllac hit his highest note, we rushed him out at the back and just like that he was happy again. That top of the table was his happiest and safest place in all of the restaurant that Sunday afternoon. Jayson and I were such a team to take turns watching Yllac and pop rolls of panizza into our mouths. It was a great way to burn calories while eating. Great but not fun.
We really wanna go back for the panizza, but I guess we'll just take it out and eat them at Jollibee. Times like these, oh how much I wish Yllac was a little bigger
So any parents out there happens to read this? Do you have any tricks you can share with us on trying out new restaurants with your little ones without the baby drama? - No? Ah-What? You don't eat out until they're 18??????

Hi Denise! I hope you don't mind me asking Wala kang yaya?
anyway i tried other panizza from Yellow Cab, but that one looks thinner. But it's all the way to Clark pa? Do you know any C' branch in Manila?
Kira
I found the place a little too dark when we went but then again, the panizza was well worth it.

And I heard the Chef behind their great Panizza has a restaurant in manila called My Kitchen. Here's a friend's review of the place http://www.tsinoyfoodies.com/2012/09/my-kitchen-by-chef-chris-panizza.html
Choose a restaurant that's empty all the time? Ha ha! The only time we've eaten out was when Bubby was with his grandparents for the day.
P.S. love your dress and shoes.
Ano kinalaman ng yaya?
Den, magdala ka ng toys or anything na mapapaglibangan nya.
Hi Kira! we don't have one mainly because I am a stay at home. But we have a house help so it's a big blessing having one we completely feel comfortable with.
@Mimi: Oh you live around Clark area? Ang dilim no???
Aside from panizza we ordered steak too. But for me, it is the panizza worth coming back to. Thank you for the link on My Kitchen.
Hi Bubby's Mummy,
I know!!!! We always eat out at 9 or 10 am or 3pm. hahahaha, plus we have the whole restaurant for Yllac to walk/run around.
Hi weng/Mrs.Purol
I always have with me the Ipad when we go out. And we try na hindi nya makikita sa bahay yun ipad so excited sya pag nakita nya sa labas kami, especially para sabay kami makakain ni Jayson. I know, i know that's bad habit....but It is the best "tranquillizer" when he becomes too fuzzy, but last Sunday it didn't work.
I think unusual yung place for Yllac and I bet with Travis din, I agree with Mrs. Purol, bring toys with Travis kapag new sa place, naka-hold siya sakin and we explore the place, I introduce new things to him, pero if it's dark, factor din yun that would make them cry.
@sarah A
kaya tama palang mag shades sila para masanay sa dilim.

i think having a yaya is a great idea too. I thought about it many times but sadly it never worked for us.
I always bring toys for my kid whenever we go out, plus gadgets so he can watch his movies and stay seated while the grown-ups are chatting but sometimes, the best-laid plans just don't work. And it's fine, really. After all, even us naman di ba hanggang ngayon every now and then we just like a place. Di lang natin feel?
Maybe you and the hubby could go back on a date night :)
