Soledad; Filipino Spanish Cuisine at its Best

Soledad

Filipino Spanish Cuisine at its Best

It was one of our mid- year dinners

that we hosted for our employees,  

…and after hosting a really bad 

Thanksgiving Dinner on one of the 

best restaurants in Magsaysay Avenue 

just few months ago we opted not have 

the same experience ever again. 

We regularly dine  at Soledad at the Piazza 

as we love their Spanish- Filipino Cuisine, 

…but we were not aware if they accept 

volume orders for dinner party.  

So when they accepted our reservation this got 

everyone excited because aside from my family,   it was

 the first time for our employees to dine in Soledad. 

 

 We assigned one of Medical Technologists

 to take care of the entertainment, 

and he commissioned a group of talented 

stand up comedians and dancers, 

and performed  superbly for us. 

They were told in advance that there are minors 

in the audience and requested to tone down 

 their green jokes should they have any. 

Then came one of the most delicious  

Filipino Cuisine we had in our lives, 

Our dinner started with Sinigang Na Baboy. 

The pork was cooked that it actually melts 

in your mouth and served with abundance 

 of  fresh, crispy half cooked vegetables,  

 

The Chicken Barbeque has the perfect tinge 

of tanginess on every bite of the sweetish 

tender chicken meat grilled to perfection. 

There had been numerous versions of 

Bicol Express on the region but this Soledad 

version was cooked with Dinailan, and it 

 leaves this unique brackish aftertaste that lingers 

much longer compared to plain bagoong. 

While most of the popular versions of Pinangat 

 in Bicol are those with pure gabi leaves with 

nothing in between but Soledad’s Pinangat follows

most of Camsur’s traditional version with 

spiced and grounded creamy crablet filling stuffed 

in between gabi leaves and they are so delicious 

 and they virtually  melt in your mouth. 

 We also had Sinaglay na Tilapia 

and the dish  was so good  that left us  

and our guests and specially my son 

(who is a fish lover) craving for more. 

We would have wanted to maintain an all- Filipino fare 

for this occasion but the restaurant’s popular Spanish dish,

 the Gambas, was just too tempting to ignore so we 

added this deliciously spiced shrimps to our menu. 

 

And of  course- saving the best for last- 

Soledad’s Boneless Crispy Pata. 

In traditional crispy pata one may be 

getting more of the thigh bones  rather 

than the meat making you feel 

 that you have been ripped off. 

 

This boneless version gives you 

the best value for your money  as you are 

served with  nothing but the flavorful goodness 

of tender, juicy, crispy and the meatiest 

and  the best crispy pata in this part of the world. 

 

We ended our dinner with thedelicious 
Turon topped  with Ice Cream 
and it was a perfect way of ending 
a really heavy but wonderful meal.

There is no doubt that Soledad despite being a 

newcomer  is a wonderful addition to the  numerous

 restaurants at the famous Magsaysay Strip. 

Ole!

...or should rather  I say- 

Mabuhay?
