It was towards the end of April when my friends from Davao arrived and wanted to try out new places. We then took a chance and tried out Flapjacks at Greenbelt.
My friend ordered the tapa plate. He said that it was a bit too spicy but tasted good. The tapa wasn't significantly different from any other tapa in the market.
I got the sausage plate (I forgot what it's called but the menu said that it's imported). It wasn't spectacular, tasted like sausage which you could buy at the grocery. The salsa that was included in the serving tasted funny and we thought it wasn't fresh.
We also got a free serving of pancakes. We chose the one with peanut butter and banana. It was quite good though I thought that the pancake tasted the same as those served in a famous fast-food joint.
Overall, the dining experience was a good one. The food servers were very gracious, friendly and fast. They also kept asking us if we were okay. The food though wasn't spectacular. To me it was quite ordinary, not much different from the well-established Pancake House. I guess my expectations were quite high since it was located in Greenbelt and the pricing was quite high. There was also no pasta in the menu which I found quite weird.
What to have: what we ordered was good and filling, just don't expect it to have a unique taste
What not to have: make sure the salsa doesn't taste weird
Price range: PhP400/person for a decent meal (no dessert yet), overrated and expensive
The Lakwatsera's Rating: it wasn't bad, but not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again

If you've ever had a week when you feel depressed, anxious, agitated, angry or one where others commented on your bad mood, then you know that even now our moods fall prey to outside — or inside — influences. Fortunately, we can control one of the biggest culprits: the food we eat.
Scientific research over the last several decades has led to the revolutionary discovery of opiate-like chemicals in the body that associate with opiate specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord, the neurotransmitters- which include dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Hormones manufactured by your brain. At the neurochemical and physiological level, neurotransmitters are extremely important, since they carry impulses between nerve cells.
Serotonin is a chemical that helps maintain a "happy feeling," and seems to help keep our moods under control by helping with sleep, calming anxiety, and relieving depression.
Low Serotonin levels are believed to be the reason for many cases of mild to moderate depression which can lead to symptoms like anxiety, apathy, fear, feelings of worthlessness, insomnia and fatigue.
Dopamine, which makes people more talkative and excitable. It affects brain processes that control movement, emotional response, and ability to experience pleasure and pain.
Today, nutritional scientists are finding that certain foods are fixes for less-than perfect moods. Use their knowledge to kill two birds with one legume: Eat well while designing the mood you want.
Van Gogh is Bipolar only serves all natural and authentic happy-hormone-producing foods
Van Gogh FOOD helps you stimulate the production of deficient neurotransmitters- dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine in your brain.
In layman’s term- Van Gogh FOOD triggers the release of happy hormones in your body.
