Simple
comfort dishes are still the best for me. No unpronounceable ingredients,
uncomplicated tastes and happy tummy. I think that is a great way to describe a
great meal.
I was sick
for a week last month and I was off work for almost the whole week as well as I
had to visit a couple of doctors. It was just a simple case of cough that got
out of hand that made me look like a zombie for two weeks. (Imagine waking up
at 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. because of your insanely itchy throat.)
Anway, my
mom and I decided to pass by Shangri-La to buy my third set of medicines and
since it was already past 4 p.m. then and I haven’t had lunch yet, we decided
to grab a quick meal before heading home. I recommended my all time favorite Recipes by Café Metro.
It has been
quite a while since I last visited Recipes by Café Metro and it is still the same
simple restaurant that I love.
My mom
ordered Chicken Sotanghon Soup
(PHP120, small | PHP220, regular) and Lumpiang
Toge (PHP100) while I went with the Lechon
Kawali with Kangkong (PHP225) and Gising
Gising (PHP185).
The Chicken
Sotanghon Soup was rather bland yet the warm soup was a great appetizer during
that rainy Thursday afternoon.
The Lumpiang
Toge was your usual wrapped toge. Serving was pretty generous for the price of
PHP100 though.
