Comfort Food at Mickey’s

I have been eating here since forever and for some reason, I always did not have my camera with me. Not even a point and shoot one at that. I was always with just my camera phone which produces photos not worthy of displaying. 

Last time I was here, finally, I had my trusty Sony T10 with me. The only problem was, it was about to die. The batteries were running out soon and I really wanted to give myself a really nice kick, but I couldn’t (that and I’m afraid of the pain). 

Anyhow, I managed to take photos on what was left of my camera’s battery. That was such a great thing because without which, I couldn’t do this post.

This is arguably one of the best Quattro Formaggio pizzas there is. The pizza is served straight from the oven. The bread is amazing. I don’t usually eat the crust of pizzas but this one, I cannot say pass. It is leaning on the thin side but the crust sure is rich. The bread is soft, hot, and a delight to chew on. There are generous servings of the cheeses on it, I don’t know how to identify them one by one but they are all delicious. At Php 660, I think it is priced pretty steeply considering the dough is just an oversized ciabatta bread. But because it has this melt-in-your-mouth kind of thing going on, I tend to give in each and every time. 

The Nurnberger Pork Sausages is another staple on the table each time we eat here. They are very tender, flavourful, a bit peppery but really good. It is served with Sauerkraut or warm Bavarian potato salad so as for the one eating not to tire of the taste. I like the contrast of the potato but the Sauerkraut takes getting used to (think of it as atchara, which I am not really fond of). The price has increased through the years and now, 6 pieces would cost Php 480 (8pcs – Php 580, 10 pcs – Php 680). 

It’s actually a deli and looking around is always what I like to do. They offer a lot of choices and for the kitchen whiz, I suggest buying the uncooked Nurnberger Pork Sausages which I think is more economical. The open kitchen also is an entertaining this to see. 

I think the customers here are pretty regular. Not that I eat here that often, but everyone always seems to be comfortable in this establishment. The lingering scent of bread baking from the bakery, also housed by Mickey’s and which I will blog about next, is making the entire atmosphere homey and relaxed.
