Calzone, my comfort food

I promised myself I’d go to Binondo this holiday Friday. Apparently, because it was a holiday, there were so many people at the place and parking was impossible. I went around twice, thrice but the rains were starting to worry me and true enough, the water started to rise and I had to rush home. So there I was, frustrated to the high heavens and had to content myself with the first available comfort food I could get my hands on, without wading through flash floods.

The first place I saw was S&R (formerly Pricemart) at the Fort. I just wanted to go in, buy some sausages and go home. But they had this big food stall that served Calzone, burgers and other goodies so I decided to give it a try. And I found the comfort I so desperately needed.

Their food stall sells Calzone for P99.00 (about US$2.15). The only thing I hated about it is that they served it in this waxed paper plate that needs extra effort to carry around. But the Calzone was served hot with melting mozzarella cheese and juicy pepperoni on the inside.

The churro beside it is S&R’s Cinnamon Churro. I personally preferred their Bavarian Churro. This Calzone is best with S&R’s bottomless soda which is only P35.00 (US$.76). Noreen really loves it. I also tried their Chicken Baked Roll with a white cheese dip. Also at P99.00 (US$2.15), it was filling and had oozing mozzarella cheese and bacon inside. The cheese dip complemented the flavors.

For a little cash, the S&R food stall is a place of good eats. Though it’s not a restaurant, I recommend that you give the place a try. You can buy pizza and pasta that is beyond the ordinary. They have clean restrooms, free parking and great discounts!

A happy smile and a full stomach. Not bad for P300.00 worth of eats (US$6.50).
