on the day she visits us, we head to Fort Burgos Circle for dinner.
it's basically serve same food cuisine with Romulo Cafe, but i think 1521 is much better.
1521 Restaurant serves filipino classic favorite foods.
Talong mo kay Tulfo (Fried eggplant with egg): the dish is very good. it's soft, chewy, and definitely yummy. You can taste the eggplant, and the egg at the same time. add ketchup for best tasting.
Melon Juice: the juice is just plain sad. it's definitely not a fresh fruit, you can taste the artificial flavor in it.
Garlic Rice: the rice was perfect, oh so tasteful and delight. there is added little crunch from the garlic bits.
Busog na Bangus (Milk fish specie) : the fish was a winner. it was wrapped in foil, grilled, stuffed with onions, tomatoes, and slated egg. The fish was the highlight of the dinner. the fish wasn't flaky which is not a bad thing. it was firm and yet soft upon chew. the flavors of the stuffing really inject to the meat. add some spicy soy sauce for best tasting.
Bagoong Rice: This rice is definitely a winner. it's a shrimp paste rice, but not necessarily very salty at all, you can taste the soft texture, flavorful of the shrimp paste. Also, the tomatoes, salted egg, and green mangoes added more flavor to the rice. the mixture of the toppings compliments with the rice. the tomatoes and salted egg compliments each other, while the green mangoes which is sour, balances the saltiness of the rice.
Bonggang Bongaang Binagoongan: Deep fried pork cutlets with shrimp paste and green mangoes. I never thought that shrimp paste and green mangoes can go very well with deep fried pork. the saltiness and sourness of the toppings compliments with the little rough and crunchy texture of the pork. a must try.
Adorableng Adobong Pusit: I don't like adobong pusit at all, but this dish has changed my mind. The squid was so soft and tender, there was nothing rotten in the dish. usually adobong pusit has that foul taste and odor which i hate. But this dish was an exception, I'm willing to try another adobong pusit if the taste and texture of the meat is same with this dish.
