Peanut Butter Co.

Have you ever tried putting peanut butter in your spaghetti? Nobody say eeeeww until you've tasted Peanut Butter Co.'s classic spaghetti. Yes sir, this unlikely combination has left me with a delectable first impression that makes me yearn for more.

Peanut butter. Who would have thought to put this on everyday food like chicken wings and fried potatoes? I'd say the concept is genius, but the marketing is a bit off. The owners might have thought of capturing the movie-goers at SM North EDSA's IMAX theater, but there really wasn't much foot traffic going on in the store.

The ones who flock it are perhaps gourmet lovers who might have heard of the store from a friend or had read rave reviews about it. Otherwise, I don't think anyone in his right mind would want to try peanut butter with roast beef straight off. If I may make a bold, unsolicited suggestion here, a branch should be opened at Serendra, somewhere in Boni High where a more sophisticated market can be easily captured.

But whoever owns the store, I've got to hand it to him, the food was spec-amazing-tacular. Since I can't really eat superlarge servings, I only had the spaghetti. RJay had the PB Burger Sandwich, which was equally delicious as my food choice. Though he says it's way better.

Classic Spaghetti (Php 130) in sun-dried tomato peanut butter and meat sauce

PB Burger Sandwich (Php 185) with sesame peanut butter, lettuce, tomato and peanut cucumber mayo

Other choices include Elvis, The King Sandwich, a bestseller with its crunchy peanut butter, bacon and banana; Green Tea Vanilla Sandwich with green tea peanut butter, rice crispies and vanilla cream cheese; Black Forest Sandwich with dark chocolate peanut butter, cherries and vanilla cream cheese and much much more.

Apart from the gourmet pasta and sandwiches, you can also buy bottles of exotic-flavored peanut butter including Sun-dried Tomato, Chili, Cardamon, Sesame, Butter, Green Tea, White Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Creamy, Curry, Crunchy and Cinnamon.

Peanut Butter Co. is located SM North EDSA near the IMAX theater and the bridge going to the Sky Garden. This is their second branch, the first being at Clark Pampanga. Prices average at Php 180 which is at par with other specialty stores.
