Grilled Vegetable Salad (P270) - zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, carrots, pickled mushrooms, herbs and greens, kesong puti, balsamic vinaigrette. I'm not a fan of veggies. When I'm at home, I tend to avoid it at all costs, but when I'm out, I like to try as many dishes as I can - including salads. With this one, I didn't need any convincing. Just looking at this dish made me want to eat lots of it. I don't know. I guess that's how aesthetics work. Their Grilled Vegetable Salad is packed with numerous vegetables that you'll find yourself tasting something new in every bite. I'm proud to say I tried them all! Haha! :P The sourness from the balsamic vinaigrette is a good choice for this one.
Mushroom Spring Rolls (P280) - organic/naturally produced shiitake mushrooms, peanuts, herbs and greens, lime hoisin sauce. Another vegetarian dish, but I didn't mind. Unlike in some vegetarian restaurants where the dishes turn out bland/lack flavor, theirs don't. You won't feel that they're skimping out on anything. The ingredients used were fresh and the servings are worth the price you're paying, at least that's what I think. (I may be slightly biased because anything with mushrooms wins extra points in my book) Though to be honest, I was already full before we even got to the main dishes. Haha
Beef Kebab (P360) - boneless beef ribs, tzatziki, grilled vegetables, choice of organic ifugao rice pilaf or 3pcs flour tortilla and organic mixed greens. My knowledge on kebab is very limited. For me, once you've tried one, you've tried them all. I saw the sauce as the determining factor since I tend to drown the meats in sauce, so flavor of the meat doesn't really matter in the end. But with Earth Kitchen's version, you really get to taste the beef because the sauce isn't as abundant as in other places like Mister Kebab. Not that it even makes sense to compare the two. Eating this kebab is an experience in itself because there is a process to it - (1) put meat on top of a flour tortilla, (2) add veggies, (3) pour some sauce, and (4) wrap everything before (5) biting into it. With Mister Kebab, you just drown everything in sauce then eat it. Haha. The beef is flavorful and tender, a not-so-heavy dish if you're not feeling too hungry. Make sure to put a little bit of everything to appreciate it fully.
Mushroom Ravioli (P370) - kesong puti, shiitake, button, and milky mushrooms, pili nuts, light cream sauce. Mushrooms! What else can I say? I loved this! I know it doesn't look all that appetizing being that it's cream based and there's no contrasting color, but it's a dish that's worth trying. Sure, it's a bit on the pricey side since they serve only a few pieces, but a few is enough to leave you wanting more. I'll definitely come back for this.
Beef Bulgogi Soft Tacos (P265) - boneless beef ribs, kimchi rice, salad greens, seaweed. A flavorful dish that's good to share.
Goat’s Cheese – Frozen Cheese Cake (P250) - goat’s cheese ice cream, wild honey, dried figs, cashew nuts. It's ice cream that tastes like yogurt; it's just slightly sour though. I don't explore a lot when it comes to ice cream; I mostly like rocky road, salted caramel, vanilla, and strawberry, so I'm glad we got the chance to try this. I liked the cashew nuts and wild honey additions, but not so much the dried figs.
Will I eat here again? Yes, I would! :)
