A hotel staycation should always be complimented with great food.  During my stay at Hotel Benilde Maison De La Salle.  I found it convenient to have my dinner at the hotel's mainstay restaurant - Cafe  Romancon.


Located at the ground level by the entrance, you surely can't miss it.  For hotel guests, they are acquainted with it as soon as they arrive as this is where they can claim their welcome drinks.  During mornings, they also offer a buffet breakfast.

Food

Salad

Kani Mango Salad (190 php)

The Kani Mango Salad really surprised me because it was very different from the usual Japanese kani salad I've had.  It had crunchy rice noodles, dried mango, crab stick bits and lots of greens.  I loved it!  I appreciated the creativity that was invested into this.


Main Entree

Friesian Express (350 php)

I'm not sure where the name Friesian Express came from.  But, this looks like a good piece of steak to me at an unbelievable cheap price.

Friesian Express (350 php)

It is cooked medium which I appreciated for having the tenderness and juiciness that I preferred.

Desserts

Sizzling Brownies (225 php)

Cafe Romancon is very affordable compared to other hotel cafes.    Yet, its offerings are quite creative and impressive.  I would surely love to dine here again.
