Just Like Home at B&P

Bacon & Pork? Breakfast & Pies? Berries & Pies? B&P means only one thing...

...all-day comfort food, including breakfast, signature mains and desserts. All day.

B&P is the newest casual dining concept from the Cravings Group, offering a homey yet modern and gourmet spin on classic comfort food. Located along Shaw Boulevard, B&P serves comfort food at its best: big, fast and fresh at any given time of day.

Inside B&P, a predominantly lemon yellow palette with brown and orange hues create that warm and homey feel with a cool and youthful vibe. From the bright interiors down to the salt and pepper shakers, you just know you'll feel right at home at B&P.

Cool down with B&B's signature coolers, the Strawberry Lemon Quench (P 110) and Lemon Celery Pandan (P 110), perfect pairs to your meal at B&P. Sweet, tart, and so refreshing, each cooler contains flavored "bobba" that "pops" in your mouth. The glass jars with screw cap lids also add a rustic and homey vibe, just one of the many subtle touches that make dining at B&P special.

Another round of B&P's signature Lemon Celery Pandan, and all set for the first round of dishes...

B&P's kitchen kicks up the pace for the first round of dishes. The open kitchen layout is framed giving diners a cool view of the behind-the-scene action in the preparation of each signature dish, another nice touch.

Then, the first dish arrived. B&P's Creole Style Eggs (P 290), two delicately poached eggs over a premium beef patty covered in melted Swiss cheese and a rich and spicy buttermilk cream sauce. Split the eggs in the rich sauce, dip some bread and...repeat. The Swiss cheese sauce and eggs combine for a rich flavors with a creamy texture, and don't forget the premium beef patty for that beefy punch.

Don Malutong (P 275), crispy, deep-fried pork belly strips served on garlic rice with a choice of egg and a side of pickled papaya relish. It's pork belly, which makes this a winner already. Just can't go wrong with pork belly, and B&P's crispy pork belly, almost like bacon, is one of those must-try dishes at B&P. Perfectly crisp with just the right saltiness, bending well with the garlic rice and scrambled eggs for balanced flavors.

Baby Back Ribs (P 390), tender ribs with a sweet and smoky Texan BBQ sauce, served with fresh tossed salad and house fries. Fork-tender, the meat simply falls off the bone, and the Texan BBQ glaze just rounds out the flavors.

For the price, B&P's Baby Back Ribs is not only big on flavor, but offers exceptional value as well. B&P uses premium, mostly organic ingredients in all of its signature dishes.

The Baxter (P 175), one of B&P's specialty omelettes and scrambles, with grilled onions, spinach, mushrooms and avocado. A light meal yet full of flavor, perfect any time of day.

Salmon Hash and Eggs (P 290), poached eggs on fresh salmon sauteed with garlic, peppers, onions and served with a side of homemade fries. The subtle flavors of the fresh salmon combine well with the richness of the poached eggs, and the fries complete the dish.

BnP Chick-to-Chick (P 425), flavorful chicken simmered in herbs and spice, coated with B&P's very own buttermilk batter and deep-fried to crispy perfection, served with B&P's signature homemade pancake or French Toast with peppered gravy and sour cream dip.

A perfectly crisp outer layer over tender, juicy chicken gives this dish another homey vibe, reminiscent of home cooked meals. Paired with a fluffy B&P pancake, this is another must-try at B&P.

Baked Macaroni (P 190), a hearty pasta dish with bolognese, bechamel, and creamy cheese sauce. Rich, creamy, and just so comfortingly delicious.

Pick up a spoonful and enjoy...

Mother's Inspiration (P 175), a comforting scramble with sausage, ham, mesquite chicken, capsicums, mushrooms, olives and rich cheddar cheese. Complex flavors from premium and fresh ingredients, can't beat that.

Primera Tapa (P 280), premium Angus beef tapa served on a bed of garlic rice, with sides of scrambled egg and pickled relish, another homey and comforting pick from B&P's kitchen. The quality beef makes this dish special. Served on a hot plate, B&P's modern take on a classic is another winner.

And B&P's kitchen's go into full gear with the final course...pancakes!

The Triple Decker (P 220), three layers of pancakes filled with Nutella, fresh banana and drizzled with caramel topped with whipped cream.

Soft, fluffy yet firm with just the right amount of bite, B&P's pancakes are a great way to start the day, or cap a meal at B&P.

Want more pancakes? The Pancake Supreme (P 210), five layers of fluffy pancake filled with strawberry, blueberry, banana, orange, and mango, and served with whipped butter and assorted syrup. And I go for one more bite...
