Me and my husband got a chance to visit a new mall in Quezon City, The Fairview Terraces. It looks similar to Trinoma but lots of stores are still closed since it's relatively new.
We met with my husband's high school friends at one of the restaurants that seems new to us - Manam, Comfort Filipino. The restaurant was well-lighted and had colorful comfortable furnishings. Their menu features both classic Filipino and Filipino with a Twist food items. You also decide the portion of each food you order: Small (good for 1), Medium (good for 3) and Large (good for 6). The choices are endless, just reading through the menu made my mouth water.
For my drink, I ordered the Ube + Sago shake (Php 95) and it was delightful. The shake's consistency was almost like an ice cream milk shake.
For our appetizer, we ordered the Crunchy Salt & Pepper Squid Rings with Sweet Chili Sauce (Medium Size Php 250). Whew! that was one long menu item hehehe but it was worth the long name because it sure was crunchy and tasty.
For our vegetable, we ordered their Laing (Medium Size Php 195). This one was quite disappointing. There was not enough gata, the garlic toppings were not crackling and it was not spicy.
For our soup, we ordered the Bone Marrow Kansi & Sweet Corn (Large Size Php 755) which had just the right bitter sweet taste for a Kansi soup. And they offer free soup refill too! But I must say the meat was not that tender to my liking.
As for our main course, we ordered two of their best sellers (paboritos): Corned Beef Sisig (Medium Size Php 265) and Overloaded Garlicky Chicken & Pork Belly Adobo (Medium Size Php 345).
The Corned Beef Sisig was another disappointment for me. It was just plain corn beef topped with fried egg.
But on the bright side of everything, the adobo was amazing. It surely lives up to its really long name, that it was overloaded garlicky! This dish is not advisable to those who hates garlic. Their adobo is the dry type but you can definitely taste its delicious sauce coating the meat. Yummy!
I love how friendly and accommodating their staffs are. They even gave us complimentary Gata Leche Flan (Medium Size Php 145) to celebrate my husband's birthday. And it was heavenly. Their leche flan was smooth and creamy and tasted of gata and also bucayo.
What a way to end our dining experience! We will definitely come back to try out their other interesting food items.
