Red Platter

Bicol Cuisine in an Old English Setting

Red Platter is a part of Graceland

a popular Bicolano Fast Food Chain …

It used to be located in Naga Centro

but moved to Magsaysay Ave,

in the mid 2000…

It has an old English ambiance...

...designed by the popular Bicolano

interior designer Biboy Belleza…

But the restaurant is known for serving

Not of English goodies

but delicious Bicolano dishes…

They serve complimentary

crispy koropek as an appetizer…

The Sinigang na Salmon Belly

has the right sourness

and could really be eaten like a soup starter…

 

The Mixed vegetables, tasted like a regular Chop Suey…

and there’s no way one could differentiate the other.

The veggies are fresh, crispy and tasty,

 

The Bicol Platter is highly recommended.

It contains a really hot Bicol Express

and CamSur’s version of Pinagat

(with young crablets for filling…)

The Inihaw na Liempo was full of flavor and succulent

has just a right hint of sweetness and saltiness,

and was cut into bite size pieces…

Despite being a Filipino restaurant

they have a tomato ketchup ready at the table…

That went well with

the grilled hito...

...that we bought in a talipapa in front

of the Penafrancia Church

after attending an anticipated mass.

...and of course,

the unforgettable blueberry cheesekace

that Graceland Baker's Plaza is known for...
