| the cables are sore for the eyes |
I happened to be in our business center last Monday morning for our annual physical examination. Our office is located in the now "famous Maginhawa St." twenty years ago, this is purely a residential area. Nowadays, it's home to lots and lots of hole in the wall type eateries and restaurants. The construction of our office gave way for some commercial establishments. I remember that there's a big issue with the home owners on the approval of its construction. Well, your guess is good as mine why it was permitted to be constructed in the first place.
Going back to the subject; my friend and one of my mentors P treated me for lunch since it's my birthday last week. Due to the heavy downpour we opted to go to this restaurant which is just adjacent to our office. It used to be under a different management and not doing well - business wise. Now, under a new name and management, we have to try if its offerings have been improved.
It has both air conditioned and outdoor settings. We opted for the enclosed venue. The ambiance is just so-so; nothing extra ordinary but clean and cold enough for dining.

There is a wide choices of food in their menu. The price is affordable and serving for the viand is good for 2-3 persons.
Since we are only two, we only ordered their best sellers.

 |
| No. 1 best seller - Iberian Chicken (P238 for half) - fried with lots of spices. |
 |
| Sinigang corned beef for P263.00 per serving |
Their best seller - Iberian Chicken is a type of fried chicken with lots of spices and olive oil. It's a meal by itself since there are potatoes for carbs. It's tasty on the outside but quite bland in the inside.
The sinigang corned beef is delicious with its thick sauce. We love this one!
We can't miss the desserts of course.
 |
| No. 1 best seller - Frozen Brazo de Mercedes for P75.00/slice |
 |
| No. 2 best seller - Old-fashioned chocolate cake for P95.00/slice |
I prefer the frozen Brazo this time since it's not too sweet. The old-fashioned chocolate cake is made up of our local chocolate. You can really taste the bitterness of the chocolate in this one.
So what's my verdict? Honestly, the food is not the type that you will miss and crave for. It's delicious enough but not that memorable.
*Sorry, I'm just being honest here*
