I think Ippudo and I are not meant to be. I
have tried to have lunch or dinner there for a whole month now (or even more)
and for some reason, it gets cancelled… all the time. But I am not giving up on
you, Ippudo! I AM NOT GIVING UP. Anyway, I was supposed to have lunch there
with friends after Christmas but the line was still crazy which scared my friends.
So we opted to eat elsewhere.
Hello, Chelsea Kitchen!
A good
friend of mine told me that this place serves good food. And I believe her
since Chelsea never fails me.
When I
arrived, M and K already ordered the following: Smoked Tinapa Aglio Olio (PHP320), Three Cheese Pizza (PHP320), The
CK Chicken Salad (PHP250) and Jones’
Tapa & Fried Egg (PHP320). I just added Crispy Pork Belly “Bagnet” (PHP395), Truffle Mac N’ Cheese (PHP295) and Sundrenched Freshly Brewed Iced Tea—Strawberry and Lemon (PHP195).
First served
was our salad.

The server
mentioned that it is best eaten with a bit of the dressings. True enough, I
like the different flavors—saltiness of the grilled chicken, sweetness of the
plum dressing and coolness of the herbs. It was a delightful dish to start the
meal.
Next served
was the tapa
which was topped with a lot of fried
garlic. It was loooove! It was tender and flavorful.
