food file 001

restaurant: Ang maliit na kusina ng diyos
company: gigi

the artichoke with gorgonzola dip (appetizer) - loved it. the first reason for me to go back there.

pork tenderloin with mushrooms and tarragon wine (my entree) - a disappointment. im not being difficult or anything but i expect tenderloins to be tender. otherwise, lose the adjective porky. Also, that mashed potato could have used a tad more taste.

crispy lapu-lapu - (gigi's entree) the chief found other ways to make it better. Had she not, it would have just been glorified fish sticks. glorified with what you ask - SINGKAMAS!

pecan pie (dessert) - the best i've had ever. although, some more pecans in there would have elavated it to a whole new level. second reason for me to go back.

PR - good. the owner came to our table for a not-so-quick chat. weirdly enough, he thought I was the fil-am and not blue-carrying passport gigi.

should you get to the opposite side of town (quezon city), you SHOULD try this restaurant on west avenue, kainan sa kalyeng kanluran (K.K.K.). knowing how we both have a love affair with food, you won't be disappointed. it's good eats and very affordable. you'll also love their menu's clever presentation (their desserts category is entitled "ang matamis na sigaw ng tagumpay"). andres bonifacio should be so proud.

oh, be sure to try their singkamas shake!
