The Tilapia Florentine (P 295/P 395-2 pcs), with tender tilapia fillet laid on fresh spinach tossed in creamy alfredo sauce served with mashed potatoes is another light yet flavorful option, and this one's a personal favorite. The rich and creamy notes of the alfredo sauce adds both texture and flavor to the dish, capped by the spinach and mashed potatoes. At IHOP, light meals don't have to be light in flavors.

Take your pick with IHOP's Porkchop with Pineapple Salsa (P 245/P 295-2 pcs, L), grilled juicy pork chop topped with homemade pineapple salsa and served with steamed broccoli and white rice; or the BBQ Liempo (P 245, R), juicy pork with sweet BBQ glaze served with papaya chutney and rice.

The juicy all-beef patty packs a flavorful punch, intensified even more with the crunchy bacon, cheese, and sunny side-up, with all the flavors absorbed by the soft and lightly crisp Belgian waffle for another perfect finish. It's a burger with the IHOP spin for a refreshing new take on the usual burger. Another personal favorite.
