Group platters are also available with the works! </p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">Acai bowl</h1><div><cite>Photo by Kat Catapusan</cite></div><p>Health buffs will love the smoothie bowls section of Rustic Mornings menu. For something colorful and filling, the Acai bowl is filled with the superfruit and topped with even more fruit like kiwi and bananas, with an extra dose of energy from chia seeds. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">Rice Bowls</h1><div><cite>Photo by Kat Catapusan</cite></div><p>There’s something for everyone here at Rustic Mornings, especially if you’re hankering for rice. Besides the breakfast silog fare, there’s Rustic Morning’s rice bowls that feature a more global taste. Must-tries are the melt-in-your-mouth beef ribs stewed in tomato sauce, the very accessible Spanish callos (not too much paprika in this one), and the kofta balls—spiced meatballs in a sweet curry coconut sauce.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">Tinapa Burito</h1><div><cite>https://www.instagram.com/rusticmornings/</cite></div><p>One of the more creative dishes in the menu, the Tinapa Burito was one of my favorite finds in the restaurant. Who knew garlic rice with tinapa in a crispy tube would be this delicious? And while there’s sour cream sauce on hand, this author much preferred eating these with a generous dousing of vinegar. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">French toast, pancakes and waffles</h1><div><cite>Photo by Kat Catapusan</cite></div><p>Mornings are so much better with Rustic Mornings’ pancakes, French toast, and waffles. Fluffy and light pancakes, French toast nicely brown and dripping in syrup, and crispy waffles, you can’t go wrong having these with just butter and syrup, or enjoy them with the many combinations available in the restaurant. They sell their pancake mix for a delicious reason.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">Party trays</h1><div><cite>Photo by Kat Catapusan</cite></div><p>Be the life of the party by bringing a tray of Aglio Olio or Dee Heirloom Pasta, or keep things saucy with dishes like the beef ribs and the tomato curry kofta Balls. These Rustic Mornings party trays can serve 10 up to 15 people. No minimum required, just call in advance. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">Christmas breakfast baskets</h1><div><cite>Photo by Nines Sy Licad</cite></div><p>Continuing on the success of last year’s Christmas breakfast baskets, Rustic Mornings brings back its three pancake baskets which feature their pancake mix, signature syrup, coffee, and strawberry jam. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">Real Blueberry and Lemon Cheesecake</h1><div><cite>Photo by Jeeves de Veyra</cite></div><p>Rustic Mornings’ new product doesn’t scrimp on the good stuff. A bite has the rich taste of lemon-tinged cream cheese, and a generous amount of fresh blueberries. It’s a cake fit for a queen. </p></div></div></div><p>Reservations for the anniversary buffet will be accepted until Wednesday, November 14, only. There will be three seatings starting at 8 a.m. </p>
