I’ve always wanted to visit MDC 100
Revolving Restaurant. I can’t believe it that I have never heard of the place
till I met Chef Jessie, the head chef of the establishment. A carousel ride
while having dinner? Why not?! However, my plan to visit gets pushed back all
the time to the point that I got tired of planning to visit. One night though,
it finally happened!
Hello, 100 Revolving Restaurant!
I could have
been giddier to finally be at the restaurant I’ve been eying for months if only
I wasn’t too hungry. There were only a few diners when we arrived but service
was slightly slow.
R went with
the Dragon Maki (PHP500) and Angus Rib Eye Steak
(PHP1,350). I went with the Balut Surprise
by Chef Jessie (PHP300), Cheese-Spinach-Mushroom
Soufflé (PHP360, regular | PHP500, large), and Duck
Adobo “A la Pael Romualdez” (PHP850).
The wait
basket was a long wait! I could sense R becoming grumpier and grumpier every
time the restaurant moves an inch. Well, the servers said that they were still
baking a fresh batch when we arrived.
After a
while, the Dragon Maki,
shrimp tempura with cucumber and kampyō (dried shavings of calabash) wrapped
together and topped with sesame seeds, arrived. It would have been a great dish
if only it was not wrapped loosely. It was falling apart.
The Balut
Surprise arrived next. I find this one interesting as they placed a whole balut
inside. The clear soup represented the soup that comes with balut and to add a
bit of flavor, a few strips of vegetables were added.
