You know that you’re a
glutton if one of your greatest fears is to go hungry. How can you tell if you’re
suffering from it? Check your bag and if you find something edible inside your
bag or pocket every single day, then chances are, you are “hunger-no-likey”
positive. But there’s one thing’s scarier, rather frustrating, when the food you packed was not enough to
tame the angry tummy and despite being so hungry you simply could not decide
where to eat.
I accompanied my sister to the clinic last Sunday for her to
accomplish her required annual check-up for school. We arrived past 11:30 a.m.
but luckily, the clinic wasn’t so busy and so my sister was able to “almost
finish” in less than 2 hours (almost because she had to go back for her dental
check up at 4PM). With grumbling tummies and woozy mindset since we stepped out
past lunch time, we even had a mini foodie argument on where to eat and when we
got tired and really dizzy due to hunger, we finally agreed and decided to go
to Figaro.
Figaro, good yet affordable dishes.
I settled for one of their newest dishes, Chicken Thyme (PHP215) which comes with
a glass of iced tea while my sister ordered
Carbonara (PHP180). My sister also ordered an order of Chocolate Éclair (PHP75) which interestingly never caught my eye
before.
First served was the chocolate éclair and it was divine. It
is your typical éclair but more chocolatey as the filling was chocolate unlike
the usual cream. Lovely! There were also a bit of nuts sprinkled on top and
hardened chocolate drips on the sides. Such sight made my tummy smile with joy!
My only concern was that I had to keep on pressing the top (uhm) bun against
the chocolate filling as when we cut a piece, the bun goes up.
My sister’s carbonara is still the creamy good pasta I fell
in love with in high school. There was also a generous serving of sliced baconand mushrooms. I just love putting a lot of parmesan cheese on it to add extra
flavor. My sister’s not fond of it though.
As for my Chicken Thyme, I was surprised that the cuts were
quite small and it was swimming on the cheese sauce. It was quite hard to slice
it as aside from it being small, it was really fried. But it’s a different
story when I had my first bite. It was crunchy and really good. Think of
chicken crispers drizzled with thyme and a bit of tanginess of cheese. It was
good and went really well with the carrot and corn side dish. I just hoped that
they made the cuts a bit bigger.
I’ll try the Chicken ala King next time. :)
