CYMA

So, I've always wanted to dine into this restaurant that I've passed by so many times but never had the chance nor the courage to go in until the day when my friend and I was on waiting lists on another restaurant adjacent to it. FINALLY -  I went in to the Greek place I've been wanting to explore - CYMA.

Seeing Greek everywhere nah kind of reminded me of a Turkish menu.

I forgot the name of this salad but it had walnuts and it was just so good tasting.

Sizzling four cheese - something like that. For this, it is so important to eat the cheese with the bread while it is hot so that it'll melt. This kind of cheese easily gets cold thus, it returns to its subtle nature after a few minutes and it doesn't jives well with the bread.

Beef Pasta. Behold the pasta that's consists of huge round noodles, it made me think, I was eating "PANCIT MALABON" but nah, it's part of it's nature and I have to admit, the beef was just overwhelming tender and good. And the twist is that, they didn't use ground beef but the beef with the bones. 

Lamb Kebab! Among all the kebabs, I've tasted LAMB is a personal favourite. The meat is just different from the rest and their special yogurt is not bad.

Flaming Mango. Well, it was flaming when it was served and the staff screams "OPA" out loud when you order this. Really interesting. The taste?.. so so.

Greek Coffee. Espresso but not too strong. 

All in all, it was satisfying. The orders we had were to share, so it was better than having individual fixes. Greek and Turkish is almost the same and I really have to admit, that this kind of food makes me smile because the spices and blends of flavours makes me soul happy :) I will definitely be coming back.

CYMA is located at the lower ground floor of the Ayala Terraces Cebu.

Krazy Garlik

Whilst visiting Manila last January, I had the chance to dine at a new restaurant in Greenbelt 5 - Krazy Garlik. That of course is courtesy of our good friend Lulu and her life partner Martin (thank you!) This is obviously an uber late post and I'm starting it off with some photos taken with them. Luckily, Angel and her husband Don was also in Manila during that time - killing while spending their time as they waited for their flight going to Taiwan for a short vacation.

The host Lulu and her wacky pose :)

With the ladies. Moi, Lulu, Angel and Chloe.

Couples from Davao - Angel and Don.

Chloe who joined in before heading to her work. She works in one of the BPO companies in Shaw Boulevard.

OK, I haven't heard of Krazy Garlik and from the name itself - most of the dishes were spiced - decorated - cooked with garlic which unfortunately is one of my mortal "fresh breath" enemy but I love garlic and when I'm at home cooking - it is a MUST but when I'm outside, dining - I'd rather stay away - for the very obvious reason :D

Garlic and Anchovy Affection: A totally yummy appetiser. I love anchovies and I love french breads with butter on it - SO. It was good.

Korean Style Garlic Sesame Beef * Garlicky Crispy Pata * The rice (I don't know the name) They already ordered when we came, so I wasn't able to get a glimpse of the menu but based on these courses that we ate, I can totally say they were all good, specially the beef thingy.

I would definitely be going back there when I visit Manila again and try out their other dishes on the menu. They have so many choices and I think all of them are good and as I'm writing this, I am seriously dying to go to the kitchen and cook but can't.

Closing this post with some wacky - not achieved pose with my friends :) 'Til next eating session :)
