For our last stop, right after having our relaxing massage, the only thing needed to be done before going home is to - eat!
We chose to dine at Krazy Garlic in Newport Mall, Pasay. We fell in love with Krazy Garlic a few months after they opened their branch in the said mall. We especially loved their specialty Crispy Pata garnished with lots and lots of crispy garlic. It's just juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. But for this night, we ordered another of their specialties instead.
We went into the entrance of the restaurant and were greeted by the hostess. We were asked for our seat preference and we said we'd prefer to sit inside (since there was a concert going on right outside, making the ambiance quite "krazy"). In a matter of a few seconds, we were escorted to our seats inside.
We were then given copies of the menu then, we checked out which we'd like to to order for the night.
For our appetizer, we chose the Garlic Anchovy Affection which wasn't bad at all. The burst of anchovy flavor mixed with garlic, butter and bread, is surprisingly yummy at first but becomes a tiny bit overpowering. What I would wish to have tasted in this food was a little bit of sour cream or even cream cheese can be good too. Nonetheless, it was actually a taste that one would crave for a few seconds after chewing that last bite inside one's mouth.
For our main course, we chose one of the restaurant's specialties, the 40 Kloves Chicken. It was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside but what makes it stand out the most is the creamy but garlicky sauce. We just couldn't help but dip every bite into the sauce!
Ain loves rice so it wasn't any surprise to me at all that she would order one. She ordered for one which we completely forgot the name of. Sorry! But I will definitely update this blog as soon as we remember it's name! What I love about their rice, whichever you choose among the options, is that they are all flavorful and chewy enough not to hurt your gums (or get stuck in between your teeth and hurt you until your next brushing). This particular dish was not at all spicy too (as we both prefer non-spicy food most times anyway).
For our drinks, Ain chose Drink Me (on the left) - made of strawberries, mango and banana. At this particular dining experience, I didn't particularly like this drink maybe coz the fruits weren't as fresh as I'd hope they would be but it was indeed a thirst quencher.
For myself, I ordered my favorite, The Shadow (on the right) - made of dragon fruit, vanilla ice cream and strawberries. It had a little bit too much of sweet aftertaste this time around but it did satisfy my sweet tooth at that time.
A special occasion always call for dessert! We ordered for the Baked Alaska. It was vanilla ice cream topped with moist chocolate cake topped with hot meringue. It was just divine! But at that point, we were quite full already (I mostly have a small appetite). So, we were trying extra hard to finish the dish. Haha! And we succeeded too! It was a nice taste to end our special dinner with - not too sweet but definitely sweet enough to feel like heaven!
It was a busy time at the restaurant then but everyone was polite enough. The serving time was not so bad. It wasn't a long wait for us. And while waiting, we can simply connect to their free wifi. It was just too bad that there was a concert right outside that made it a bit taxing to have a decent conversation over dinner.
Most times, this restaurant would be rated as expensive but since we have a Bistro card, we got our appetizer for free and even got a 20% discount for our total bill! (I tell you, having a Bistro card is awesome especially if you love dining out!)
Food: GREAT
Service: GOOD
Value for Money: Pretty GREAT (for Bistro cardholders)
Location/ambiance: ACCEPTABLE (I would have rated them either good or great if not for the loud noises from the concert)
Over-all Dining Experience: GREAT
Would I dine there again? Yeah, sure. When another special occasion comes along.
