Crispy Pork Knuckles P580

The skin was crisp and crunchy. The meat was tender, juicy and full of flavor. This  dish can feed 2-4 people .   Our piggery will be over the moon with joy with this.  I can already visualize them ordering extra rice when this lands on the table hahaha img_3626-9924179

Chorizo Pasta P385

The combination of chorizo with the al dente fettuccine and that secret creamy sauce is scrumptious. I will order this again when I return with the fam.

Buffalo Fingers

Another favorite of the group.  The chicken was crunchy and crispy. The blue cheese dressing was delicious. The combination of the two  was  scrumptious. You will not be able to help yourself. You will just go on and on shoveling that morsel in your mouth until its gone. Perfect for lunch or dinner with rice

Healthy Alternatives

Tikka Wrap P240

You have vegetables, protein and carbs all in one wrap. This would appeal to our unica hija who is watching what she eats. Delicious  and less calories if you do not eat the chips that is hahaha

Portobello and Quinoa Salad P250

Per Wikipedia Quinoa is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is not a cereal or grain. It is seed. Quinoa is naturally gluten free and  one of only a few plant foods that is considered a complete protein containing  all nine essential amino acids.

Yep healthy and complete. This one is for me or for anyone who loves healthy foods. I also love portobello mushrooms. I like its meaty, juicy texture. You sort of feel you are eating meat because of its mouthfeel.

Fresh-pressed Juices

Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice  and Apple Juice

Fresh-pressed Juices. No sugar. No additives, Just pure fruit in  a glass. This one is a winner for me. Pure vitamin C in liquid form. Yum!

Coffee Lemonade P145

This one got us really curious we had to order it. It was a coffee with  yes lemonade. It sounded weird but it actually tasted good. There is the bitterness of the coffee with the sweet tanginess of the lemonade. Refreshing!

Summary :

Ambiance :  Dark. Artsy inside. Industrial feel. Black curtains. Bar dominates the space. Ceiling higher than normal which was good so you do not feel claustrophobic. Btw, restroom’s light is dim too but clean. We were at the resto from 10 am to 1 pm

Service :  Excellent but maybe because we were the only ones there hehehe at that time

Price :  Generally reasonable.

Verdict : Highly recommend you guys try  their lunch or dinner.  Do not be put off by their bar-like vibe.  Yes they do serve lunch and dinner now. Definitely bringing the family to enjoy their meals.
