First Bite: Crisp on 28th

I have been hearing a lot of nice things about Crisp on 28^th but I never get to visit the place as my desire to go home after work is always stronger. But last week, R encouraged me to eat out for dinner with his friends and we ate at…

Crisp on 28^th

The place was quite crowded on a weeknight but we were lucky to have a table for four.

R’s friends were still full from the brokers’ gathering an hour ago so they just ordered a dish to share. I already had a sandwich when R called so we decided to share too. I ordered a bowl of Crisp on 28^th’s Soup of the Day (PHP180, which as Beef and Corn that night) and R ordered the Corned Beef Meatloaf (PHP395).We also ordered the Panna Cotta Trio (PHP180) for dessert.

First served was my soup and it was creamy. It had a slight tangy taste which I loved. I’m not sure but it tasted like cheese. The bits of beef and corn added texture to the dish. I also loved the toasted croutons.

I fell in love with the Corned Beef Meatloaf. It had a slight sweet taste that reminded me of embutido. It was flavorful and went well with the potatoes, onion hash, seared tomatoes and my favorite… 64 degree egg. I would love to order this again.

The Panna Cotta Trio wasn’t anything extraordinary. It was good but not great; okay but not memorable. The texture of the chocolate s’mores and the mango-mint vanilla panna cotta were quite off as these two were too hard to be panna cotta. I liked the coffee panna cotta best.

I’ll definitely visit again soon. But I might skip having dessert there.
