A food adventure at Delish Cuisine

I visited Delish Cuisine with a group of foodie friends and bloggers last August 22, 2010. It was a Sunday. They're normally closed on Sunday but they opened that evening to host a lovely dinner for us. :D

For starters, we had a combination of Baked Oysters with Garlic and Cream Cheese (P225 per order) and Baked Oysters with Spinach, Bacon, and Herb (P220 per order). They combined the two kinds of oysters so we could try both variants. They are both sooo good... albeit the one with the spinach is probably the healthier, less fattening version since the garlic and cream cheese one is also full of creamy butter. I'll let you in on a little secret -- a cook from Cafe Via Mare (an establishment famous for their oysters) works inside Delish's kitchen, hehe. :p

Then we had Boneless Crispy Pork Knuckles with Oriental Sauce (P300, pictured above). It was okay, but I'm not too fond of consuming fatty meat.

Eggplant and Pumpkin Soup Duo (P90, pictured above) was another favorite of mine. I was amazed by how the sweet taste of pumpkin and the distinct flavor of eggplant managed to blend seamlessly for a unique sipping experience. :)

Golden Fillet of Fish with Sweet Banana and Fresh Tomato Relish (P185, pictured above) was up next. Tender fish covered in tomato-based sauce and topped with banana slices. Good combination. :)

I also loved Pinakbet with Bagnet (P165, pictured above). It's a very tasty vegetable dish -- and veggies are usually on the bland side. The crunchy Bagnet on top is a wonderful touch. This is so perfect with steamed white rice.

Crispy Marinated Chicken with Honey and Fried Garlic Chips (P185, pictured above) is one of Delish's bestsellers. The chicken skin is crispy and glazed with a yummy honey-based sauce and garlic chips. The mashed potatoes that's served with it is too good to describe with words. It's very creamy and yet at the same time has this gritty texture that comes from finely minced carrots that are mixed with the potatoes. Unfortunately, you can't see the big scoop of mashed potatoes on this photo as it's behind the chicken.

For dessert, we shared a big serving of Butterscotch Pavlova (P145, pictured above). It's soft and springy meringue made of pure egg whites served on top of caramel sauce and cream plus topped with diced ripe mangoes. A perfect end to a delicious dinner -- simply delish! :D
