Chilli Peppers' Comes Home to the Avenue Square

The Return of the Great

Chili Peppers

 The Avenue Square, Magsaysay Avenue, Naga City

Then- there was Chili Peppers  the lonesome restaurant

at the corner of Magsaysay Ave., and Dayandang St.,

(now being occupied by Yellow Cab)…

…that jump started of what is now the famous Magsaysay Strip-
a conglomeration of a hundred more or so restaurants

made up of local, national and even international diners an cafes.

After closing business about five years ago

and having three branches in Metro Manila

Chili Peppers returned back home, 

...this time to the city’s premier 

Lifestyle Center at the Avenue Square.

The new Chili Peppers had a very

modern and contemporary design

…that reminded me of the bar at the

Hotel Indigo Alxanderplatz in Berlin 

with a different color motif.

^^Hotel Indigo's White 5 Bar ^^

We were excited to try their old classic favorites

so we ordered their baby back ribs,

aptly called Baby Come Back.

At the back of my mind I thought on

how fitting the name was

for the restaurant’s homecoming.

The new Chili Peppers looked as if they upgraded their dishes

as they are made up of generous  servings set

 in really huge platters- good enough for two to three people,

so we decided to share our food.

The yummy  Sta. Fe Pork Chop came in

two large pieces of spicy garlic breaded chops.

 They were so tender and perfectly breaded and fried

that you wouldn’t even notice

if you’re eating the flesh or the fat.

The very, very delicious Fish Parmigiana-

a breaded Dory topped with 3 cheese- melt

made up of cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan

served with Pesto Rice.

It is so good that if it was my order

I wouldn’t share if with anyone else anymore.

Luckily it was my daughter who chose the dish

and she benevolently shared it with us.

The Baked Cream Dory in Lemon Butter in my opinion

is the best dish the Chili Pepper had to offer.

It is so good that I would personally recommend this dish

as a must try and must not to be missed.

We have also tried their all day breakfast

and ordered the Bacolod Chorizo.

It had a generous servings of the

spicy Bacolod Longaniza, Atachara,

and garlic rice topped with two fried eggs.

They also serve best tasting Kalamansi Juice in the world

and I believe that this drink could become as iconic as

the Bigg’s Rock and Roll Iced Tea, albeit more healthier.

I am glad that Chili Peppers is finally back home

as we have sorely missed that good old resto

that started it all in Magsaysay Avenue.

Welcome back Chili Peps!

Mambo Magsaysay!
