Hoagies

Hoagies,Guilt-Free Sandwiches and More!

We came across this restaurant during our grocery day at SM Fairview.
Located in the Annex, it was sandwiched between (if I remember it right) Pho hoa and Sbarro.
According to their FB account, Hoagie is a Philadelphian word for submarine sandwich.
Word has it that it has origins from "Hog Island". The Irish and Italian people living there during
the early 20th century were known as "Hog Islanders".
They ate unique sandwich in large loaves of Philadelphian bread filled with meat and called it "hoggies".
The word has somehow evolved and transformed into hoagie.

What attracted us to Hoagies is their introductory price of P88 for an 8-inch sub.
We ordered their Pulled Pork Adobo and Hoagies Catch.
Hubby enjoyed his sub and finished it with gusto while I struggled to finish mine.
It was big for me. My hubby liked it. But I had a hard time eating the bread.
It was too much for me. I guess I am not a bread person or a sandwich person.
I am just a person=)

Affordable for such humongous sandwich.
Flavorful and meaty and filling.
I just have a problem with the sandwich, and probably it's just me, I just feel that they could do better with the bread.
Anyway, this is great value for your money. Filling but less the price.
