I love the ambiance at this place because they genuinely care about nature—they didn't cut any trees in their alfresco area. Plus, as someone who always gets bitten by mosquitoes, it's a huge bonus that there aren't any here! No bugs, just bliss.
We didn't just try all their vegan products; we also explored their exciting new menu items! Everything was delicious and full of flavor.
They have their own unique version of Samosas, which actually remind me more of Vietnamese spring rolls. The highlight, though, is their homemade sauce—it perfectly complements each bite
This vegetable casserole didn't disappoint. It features a delightful mixture of homemade gluten meat, carrots, and mushrooms, all layered together with mashed cauliflower and potato on top.
This mango papaya salad with rice noodles, topped with succulent shrimp, is simply delightful. It refreshes and cleanses the palate, preparing you perfectly for the next dish to try. Haha!
Have you heard of Stir-Fry Vegetables with coconut meat? Surprisingly, it tastes delicious and pairs perfectly with rice.
Grilled Chicken Homemade Nachos. Ah yes, this one is a real treat! The grilled chicken homemade nachos are perfect for saramsam (pika-pika). The homemade nachos stayed crispy the entire time we were there.
Have you heard of Binakol prepared without chicken? If not, it's time to give this vegan version a try. Made with just coconut and homemade gluten meat, this soup is not only a healthier and more ethical option but also incredibly delicious. Embrace this innovative take on a traditional dish and discover a new favorite that aligns with a compassionate lifestyle. The soup tastes really good.
Basil Chicken is not just a favorite but a testament to the beauty of simple yet flavorful cooking. It pairs wonderfully with pasta and is exceptionally good with rice, making it a versatile choice for any meal. If you haven't tried this dish yet, you’re missing out.
Saramsam Pasta, KBL, an acronym for Kamatis (tomatoes), Bagoong (Fish Sauce), and Lasona (onions), is a traditional Ilocano dish that is simple yet incredibly flavorful. KBL Pasta brings a unique twist to traditional pasta dishes by infusing the rich flavors of Ilocano cuisine. The combination of Kamatis, Bagoong and Lasona, creates a dish that's full of depth, character, and distinct umami goodness. It's a simple yet delightful way to enjoy the essence of Ilocos in a comforting pasta dish.
Pork Steak with Crispied Onions is one delicious and mouth-watering dish that's sure to impress your family and friends. The combination of tender, juicy pork and the crunchy, flavorful onions creates a perfect balance of textures and flavors.
Inkalti, with its crispy fried kamote and bananas drizzled in rich molasses sauce, is a delightful snack that makes for an indulgent treat.
Tamarind juice is a delightful drink that balances tangy and sweet flavors beautifully. It's easy to make and perfect for quenching your thirst.
