No meat meals? Try Slappy Cakes Lenten specials
I got invited to try out Slappy Cakes Lenten Specials at their branch in SM Aura earlier this week. I originally planned to just take Lukas with me, but the rest of the family ended up joining me instead. And it was just as good because there was so much food!
Slappy Cakes Lenten Specials are no-meat alternatives that include great, tasty dishes from appetizers to pasta and filling sandwiches and rice meals.
That MasterChef moment
Jay and I had a “MasterChef” moment when he gently cut through the eggs on Slappy Cakes’ Salmon Benedict and out oozed the yolk, blending dramatically with the hollondaise sauce. Yummmm!
The Salmon Benedict was actually one of their All Day Breakfast meals (which means you can order them for breakfast, lunch or dinner!), along with their Garlic Bangus meal which came with a little mango ensalada on the side that Jay and I both agreed was a good touch.
They served us the Cheese sticks first and the kids simply devoured them, hot cheese, dip and all!
Another favorite was the basket of fish bites.
Pesto love
Who doesn’t love pesto? Pesto’s one of the staple pasta dishes we serve here at home, but I have to admit, it was quite a treat to taste Slappy Cakes’ Pesto Pasta with Anchovies. It was delicious and filling and it was a LOT!
In fact, that’s how it is in Slappy Cakes. All dishes are for sharing because they serve in huge quantities. They’re generous with potatoes, too! This is because of the potato-lovin’ locals of Portland, Oregon where Slappy Cakes started back in 2009.
Slappy Cakes DIY pancakes
What’s a Slappy Cakes dining experience without the DIY pancake experience, right? Slappy Cakes have a griddle right in the middle of your table where you can design and cook your own pancake with your kids (or friend, hubby, or imaginary friend – get creative, haha!)
All the members of the media present at the event had a little DIY pancake competition with the theme, “What will you do this Lenten season?”
The picture we came up with was the rubber pool because that’s what we did last year. Lukas’ birthday always falls on Holy Week and we celebrated it last year with a rubber pool party with just us, here in our yard.
But then no matter how hard we tried, do you think we’ll win against this???? Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is a pancake, bow!
Other dishes included in Slappy Cakes’ Lenten Specials are Tomato Soup, Grilled Three Cheese sandwich, the Seasonal Vegetable Benedict, and the mouth-watering Mango Ponzu salad.
Where to find Slappy Cakes
Slappy Cakes has branches in several locations around the Metro – Eastwood Mall, SM Aura Premier, SM North Edsa The Block and SM Jazz Mall. Most branches open between 9 to 10 AM, except for SM Jazz Mall branch which opens at 8 AM.
All branches will be open from Palm Sunday until Holy Wednesday, and will resume operations on Black Saturday.
Check out Slappy Cakes website for more info, or connect with them on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

I don’t think we’ll get past the pancakes for a while, my kids are talking about going back to do it again non-stop. 🙂

My boys love it here. We had our first Slappy Cakes and Sentosa and they have been asking to go back. Will check out the one in Aura.
May De Jesus-Palacpac
My kids are asking to go back, too! They’re requesting for pancakes and the milkshakes. 🙂

All of the meals you’ve tried are exactly my favorite kind of meals and they all look so appetizing especially the Pesto Pasta! I’ve been to Slappy Cakes a couple of times already but I’ve only ordered their DIY Pancakes coz its delicious and fun to make haha unleashing the inner chef in me same as you guys did haha!
May De Jesus-Palacpac
The pesto was rich in the pasta. 🙂
Louisa
I was under the impression that they only served pancakes. Been wanting to try this for awhile now and knowing they have more than just pancakes is great!
May De Jesus-Palacpac
Outside the Lenten Specials menu, they serve a mean burger, too! 🙂
Mommy Peach
My daughter is a fan of Slappy Cakes. Too bad I missed this event. I would’ve met you in person.

It’s funny how this is the first time I’ve heard about Slappy Cakes considering that they’re not-so-far from my place of work. I will definitely give it a shot – I’m eying the pesto pasta and their tomato soup, both look divine!
Irish
Yummy! All foods are mouth-watering. I especially want to try the Salmon Benedict.
May De Jesus-Palacpac
It seems to be a popular choice. 🙂
len
The foods looks yummy!!! I wanna visit that place soon and if i have the budget;)
Fred
Our first experience in Slappy Cakes was not too good. The food was expensive but did not taste good. But your picture of the pesto pasta is very tempting.
Loudthinkin
The food looks scrumptious! It quite evident from the photos that the kids loved it!
Jen Santos
My husband and I looooovvvee Slappy Cakes! They have the best burgers in town! Not exactly cheap but so so meaty. Will try their Lenten specials nga one time. Parang ang sarap ng cheese sticks nila. 🙂
May De Jesus-Palacpac
YES! We got burgers, too (we didn’t know we were going to be served plenty of food) and they were, in street linggo – da bomb! 😉
Yvonne Bertoldo
I’ve been wanting to try Slappy Cakes but everytime I look at their menu outside, I immediately realize how expensive their dishes are. Even the pancake batters seem a bit on the higher side.
May De Jesus-Palacpac
They have big servings kasi, Yvonne. Dishes are for sharing. 🙂
Tiffany Yong W.T. (tiffanyyongwt)
Oh, so that’s where all the viral videos originate from! Slappy cakes to provide tools to make your own design pancakes! No mess and test your creativity!
Franc Ramon
This is perfect for the lenten season. We need more food alternatives especially on Fridays of lent to avoid meat.
Kylie
I love the concept of DIY pancake!~ It’s really a perfect place!~
eliz frank
I’ve never heard of slappy cakes but the eggs benedict looked delicious. DIY pancakes are pretty common in buffet breakfast places here.
May De Jesus-Palacpac
So I heard! Here, though, it’s the only one in the mainstream. 🙂
Vanessa Ally
It is great that the kids are included in the process of preparing food. Food is love and it is beneficial for them to participate in the family activities. Those food pics look awesome!
Fatemah Sajwani
wow DIY Pancakes looks likes an amazing corner at this place. I wonder how i would do if I make my own pancakes?
phyliciamarie
I can see why he won the DIy contest! So perfect for lent, a Jesus pancake!! I would love to try out the pesto with anchovies there next time.
Jeman
Thanks phyliciamarie. It’s actually my 1st time to try DIY pancake. Didn’t expect to win.
To the author of this blog, thanks for including me in your post. 🙂
Sam
If I was your kid, I will always look forward to Lent. Yummy food!
Jason Panuelos
This is such a great idea since it’s kind of hard to decide on places to eat during Lenten season 😀
Papaleng Pagulong
you have given me a bright idea where to take my family this Lent. The foodies are simply appetizing.
martha preston (@marthapreston4)
Those cheese sticks look amazing now i want some
mitchryan
The bangus and cheese sticks are to die for!
Celerhina Aubrey
Wow! I’ve been meaning to try slappy cakes. My bestfriend did a review of that resto. I really should drag her back to try it out myself.
May De Jesus-Palacpac
Would make a nice bff date. 🙂
