Mr. Bean - The "Socialite's" Taho

Mr. Bean
I used to curse in my head why I live so far down south when there's barely any cool and rare restaurants around the area. I always enjoyed going to different and authentic restaurants of any cuisine. Nonetheless, I now am so happy and contented that I don't even need to go further up north just to eat delicious food. I'm so thankful Alabang is now filled with new and authentic restaurants from all over the world.

As I mentioned in my other blogs, I love Singapore. Singapore is like my scapegoat. One of my favorite places to eat at in Singapore is Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean is a common food cart you can find around Singapore. It serves soy milk, soy ice cream, and soy pancakes filled with different flavors. Perks? It's healthy! Although it is quite pricey, I'm sure you will enjoy what they have to offer. Finally, it is here in Alabang.

I've been waiting for Mr. Bean in Town Center to open ever since I saw the sign on the boards. Located at the Garden Wing, it is now open daily. They serve the best chocolate pancakes I have ever tasted. Although quite pricey (70pesos per piece), I still crave for that taste which tastes exactly like the one in Singapore. One thing I noticed though is it's twice the size of the pancakes they serve in Singapore. Their pancakes only come in one size, but available in different flavors. I was also able to try their medium-sized soy milk (55pesos). It only comes in two sizes-- medium and large. They also offer taho, soy ice cream (delicious and a must try!) which can be served either in a cup or cone, flavored slush drinks with soy milk.

The interior of their cafe is very cozy. Although it's small and not yet wi-fi ready, their chairs are quite comfortable. The interior wallpaper states quotes on why we should buy Mr. Bean. Although there are no restrooms inside this cafe, it is located right beside the restroom area.

The servers of the cafe were quite friendly. They were hospitable and attended to our needs despite the many people lining up at 4 in the afternoon. Although we were quite disappointed with the cashier because when my hubby ordered for soy ice cream in the cone, we were surprised when our orders came that it was served in a cup. Apparently the cashier failed to mention that there was no cone available yet at the moment. Nonetheless, I guess it's the pressure of serving a lot of people. It can be quite overwhelming cos it was just their 2nd day of operations.

If you have the time, do drop by. Perfect for a healthy snack or simply to satisfy your cravings the healthy way. It's especially perfect for the hot weather we have now. We were able to converse with the owner for a short moment. He mentioned that this Mr. Bean is the first branch in the Philippines. Further expansions? No plans yet as of the moment. So do grab a healthy snack when you're around the area :)
