The Gastro Station has recently expanded its menu, infusing fresh and locally sourced ingredients to create a tapestry of flavors that celebrate the region’s bounty.

A Salad to Savor: The Gastro Station Salad


The new menu shines brightly with the introduction of their Gastro Station Salad, a dish that has quickly become a crowd pleaser. It’s a symphony of sweet and lively flavors, artfully combining cherry tomatoes, candied walnuts, diced cucumbers, and crisp apples. These ingredients are tossed in a honey balsamic vinaigrette that provides a perfect balance of tangy and sweet. Topped with delicate shavings of parmesan cheese, the salad offers a refreshing yet indulgent appetizer or light meal. It’s a testament to how simplicity, when executed brilliantly, can bring the most satisfaction.


Warm Up with Kimchi Jjigae


For those seeking comfort in a bowl, look no further than the new Kimchi Jjigae. This spicy, hearty stew is a nod to Korean cuisine, with a Filipino twist. Laden with tender pieces of pork belly and soft blocks of tofu, it’s enriched further by the umami richness of enoki mushrooms. The stew’s base is a vibrant kimchi broth that delivers an invigorating spicy kick, ideal for warming the heart and soul. This dish embodies the essence of comfort food, making it perfect for a cozy meal any day of the week.

Arroz Ala Cubana: A Savory Delight


The introduction of Arroz Ala Cubana to the menu is a testament to The Gastro Station's commitment to offering diverse and flavorful dishes. This savory classic is composed of a perfectly balanced plate featuring minced beef paired with a serving of fluffy white rice. The dish is topped with a sunny side up egg, its yolk adding a rich creaminess when mixed into the rice and beef.

Adding a touch of sweetness and contrast are perfectly fried bananas, which complement the savory elements of the dish. This combination creates a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that is both comforting and satisfying. Whether you are looking for a hearty brunch or a delightful dinner, Arroz Ala Cubana is a must-try.


Truffle Mushroom Pasta: A Creamy Indulgence


For those with a penchant for pasta, the Truffle Mushroom Pasta is poised to win your heart. This dish features Fusili pasta generously coated in a creamy truffle cheese sauce. The truffle essence imparts a luxurious and earthy aroma that elevates the pasta dish to gourmet levels.

Meaty mushrooms are tossed into the mix, adding a robust and savory depth that complements the creamy sauce beautifully. Each bite of the Truffle Mushroom Pasta is an indulgent experience that melds the creamy, nutty notes of the truffle with the substantial chewiness of the mushrooms and the tender fusilli. It's a dish that satisfies deeply and leaves you craving more.
