The Cafe Mediterranean

 This restaurant gives you the fashion of eating and the simple but powerful taste of spices from Mediterranean countries. Mediterranean dishes derive deep flavor from simple ingredients prepared simply. After energy-annihilating thrill from watching TAKEN 2, Arene and I without volition searched for this restaurant in Megamall. The place is aesthetically decorated, colorful, vibrant, and extraordinary with designs of earthenware-like ceramics on the walls and tables. You'll defnitely fall in love with the comfort, and view feels like you are dining in Mykonos... only you're not surrounded by waters.
 Anticipating my kebab dish.
Hummus (Arabic: حُمُّص‎) (Hebrew: חוּמוּס‎) a Middle Eastern appetizer which I love the most, it is an Arabic food dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. Today, it is popular throughout the Middle East, Turkey, North Africa, Morocco, and in Middle Eastern cuisine. It is scooped with flat bread, such as pita and is also served as part of a meze or as an accompaniment to falafel, grilled chicken, fish or eggplant. 
Grilled Chicken Kebab with Moroccan Rice Pilaf + wine
Kebab is a wide variety of skewered meals originating in the Middle East and later on adopted in the Balkans, the Caucasus, other parts of Europe, as well as Central and South Asia. In English, kebab with no qualification generally refers more specifically to shish kebab (Turkish: "şiş kebap") cooked on a skewer. In the Middle East, however, kebab refers to meat that is cooked over or next to flames.

Taste the sweetness of life with Moroccan Rice Pilaf consists of basmati rice sprinkled with cinnamon, raisins that add some honeyed sweetness and almonds that provide flavour, texture, and crunch.

Krazy Garlik

Krazy Garlik definitely deserves a plaudit. We've accidentally discovered this when I was with my friend together with her parents in Resorts World, another branch is located in Greenbelt Area where we last ate at. The settings of the restaurant in Greenbelt was a lot more nice and crowded than RW. That night since it was very crowded inside we decided to dine at the back part outside where the view were buildings, some artsy restos and slew of people. The tables outside were very small made of wood and the seats were benches with nice cushions. Since it was just me and my friend the place outside was decidedly conducive to relief.

The table, the menu and the cutlery look awesome.
Bruschetta (garlic and anchovy affection)
Pork rib adobo cooked in olive oil and premium soy sauce with generous amount of garlic.
Being a finicky eater, I never liked some ways of how adobo is cooked. I get headache when I don't like a food. But this one was really a must taste, the aroma was appetizing, and the meat sort of melts in your mouth.
Krazy Garlik's Hara Kiri (₱225 single, 365 to share) is their house specialty spicy fried rice with chilies, squid, shrimps and bacon. Bery spicy like you wanna commit hara kiri. Oddly, I don't know why the food was named as hara kiri-ceremonial suicide by ripping open the abdomen with a dagger or knife: formerly practiced in Japan by members of the warrior class when disgraced or sentenced to death.

This could just mean that maybe it's implying that rice is bad. It is sinful, it is starchy, and it is bloating. Or maybe the food is really to die for.

Tuna Belly, fresh hot-off-the-grill prime tuna belly chopped with sauteed green chillies and garlic. Served with special soy-vinegar sauce.
My coffee very creamy all foamy and delicious-looking. This is now my favorite coffee ever, not just delicious looking but it tasted great as well.  
'Til next time again :)
