Every time we visit Fully Booked, there is always something new to learn. This time however, it is not book-related. For such a long time, we've been visiting Press by Fully Booked solely for its beverages that we buy before or after we check out the book.
To our defense, look at Press by Fully Booked's logo? You see two things: a book and a beverage cup. We'd also like to add that it serves really good coffee and lemonade.
Food
One of the distinct characteristic for us with Fully Booked is that although it is a mass-scale of a bookstore, you can still feel that it is inviting and has a personal touch to it. It's the kind of a charm of "The Shop Around the Corner", a small boookstore that is depicted in the movie "You've Got Mail" that was casted by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
We had the same feeling with Press by Fully Booked and its menu. Aside from its regular menu, it also has seasonal offerings like the Christmas Holiday Meals.

Soup
Since we love classics, we'll start of with items in the regular menu.
| Mushroom (160 php) |
As far as cream-based soups, our favorite since childhood has always been cream of mushroom. Press' Mushroom soup is one of the best we've had in years.
Salads
| Classic Caesar (250 php) |
All the dishes we're tried like the Classic Caesar made use of the freshest ingredients. Because of that, the price here is quite reasonable especially for this branch which is located in Rockwell Power plant.
Pasta
| Agli e Olio (200 php) |
The serving size is also quite generous.
| Carbonara (250 php) |
Holiday Set Meals
For this Christmas, Press by Fully Booked has prepared a Holiday Group Meal Set inspired by our Filipino Nocha Buena tradition.
| Arroz Valenciana |
| Homestyle Fried Chicken |
| Lechon Belly |
Cakes & Pastries
| Chocolate Cake (1250 php/whole) |
Chocolate cakes are one of the most popular cake variant available in the Metro. Till the time we've encountered Press' Chocolate Cake, we thought we've tasted all the best ones. We've read all sorts of top lists or best chocolate cake in Manila list and none of them has mentioned Press by Fully Booked. What a wild card! What a hidden gem! This Chocolate Cake is rich, bitter sweet and oh so soft and moist. Although huge and thick, you won't hesitate to take each and every bite.
Holiday Pastries
Like the meals, Press also has holiday pastries.
| Ube Custard (650 php) |
| Four Seasons Cheesecake (Php1,350) |
Variety is always well-appreciated in every potluck. Can't decide on which cheesecake to bring? Take the Four Seasons Cheesecake with Original, Caramelized Banana, Queso De Bola and Hazelnut and let your guests decide for themselves. But for you, we highly suggest that your take from the Queso De Bola cheesecake part right away cause it is surely the first one to be wiped! The Caramelized Banana and Hazelnut is also an interesting pick. We were so surprised with the Hazelnut which delivered cute little crunchiness in every bite. We rarely encounter a hazelnut product that makes used of fresh tiny bits of the actual nut itself so we were really impressed.
| Cookie Sampler (Php440) |
And, because variety is well-appreciate, there also a cookie and bar counterpart with the Cookie Sampler with Chocolate Chip, Cranberry & Raisins, Double Chocolate and Double Mint Chocolate Chip...
| Bar Sampler (550 php) |
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Like every visit to Fully Booked, we found our visit to Press by Fully Booked to be a wonderful experience. We found all the dishes we tried to be affordable and in generous portions. We also found the bright yet solemn atmosphere which makes it conducive for reading, meetings and conversations to be a great consideration for dining here.

It's been a long time since I last stayed at Summit Ridge Hotel.
I thought it's an awesome idea to have Sartin serving Quezon, Tarlac and Bacolod Heritage Dishes in Tagaytay.
Pastries for sale greets every visitor that comes in.
On the side, there's also a chiller of cakes and snacks.
Didn't expect to see a bar. It looks grand doesn't it?
The interiors is great for group dining. These are cozy looking booths.
Food
Mga Pica-Pica at Merienda
| Batchoy (305 php) |
Imagine the chilly atmosphere of Tagayatay comfortably warmed by the rich, warm and savory Batchoy with delicious fresh beef chunks and marrow. Ah perfection...
| Kalabasa, Kamote at Kesong Puti Salad (425 php) |
Sabaw
| ♥ Kansi (655 php) |
| Chicken Charon (165 php) |
Mga Gulay at Kanin
| Laswa (295 php) |
| Kalkag Rice (215 php) |
Sartin Signature Menu
| Valenciana (495 php) |
The Valenciana is different from other paella I've tried before. It is made of sticky rice used in Filipino kakanin dishes.
| ♥ Lechon na Tadyang ng Baka (1975 php) |
Quezon (Lola Agnes)
Tarlac (Mommy Jet)
| ♥ Callos (449 php) |
| ♥ Pork Sisig (319 php) |
The Pork Sisig comes with liver bits. As a liver lover, how can I resist? I would also like to commend how lean this sisig is.
Weekly Special
| ♥ Beef Kaldereta |
Sartin also offers weekly special which you can see on its chalkboard by the entrance.
Dessert
| ♥ Tibok-Tibok (245 php) |
The Tibok-Tibok is a rare find. We all rejoiced upon finding this delectable carabao-milk-based treat. It so velvety-soft as it slowly melts in the mouth.
| ♥ Leche Flan |
The Leche Flan is quite unique because it also has carabao milk mixed in. This is one of the best Leche Flan I've ever had.
| Ginumis (169 php) |
