I was overwhelmed by the new restaurants in Estancia.
There are more options now and some of which are fairly
new and I have never visited before. One of which is Spice & Cleaver. I
spotted this new joint the night I had dinner at UCC
Clockwork. And since I can’t wait to try it, I set my sister’s birthday lunch
there.
Hello, Spice & Cleaver!
The place had a few seats left when
we got there. But we managed to get a couch at the far end as the ones on the
sides seem to be set for large groups.
While waiting for my sister, R and I
ordered Fish
and Chips (PHP499), Wild
Mushroom Tartuffo Pasta (PHP350, PHP430 with prawns), Lamb Sausage
(PHP280 for one piece) and house blended iced
tea (PHP120).
First served was my iced tea which
was served in a small glass. It had a nice sweet lemon taste but for PHP120,
this is an expensive drink.
Next served was the lamb
sausage
with mashed
potato base. It was juicy
and meaty and I loved it with sauerkraut
for that extra flavor and different texture.
R was slightly disappointed with the fish
and chips. He ordered it primarily because of the fact that Spice &
Cleaver uses halibut fillet. But the beer battered fish
fillet
served wasn’t something at par with what R expected. It was the frozen kind, he
said. It was okay though I prefer Chelsea’s or Fish & Co.’s.
