Flavours Gastronomica’s Pinoy Dishes :Deliciously Refined Filipino Cuisine

Flavours Gastronomica’s Pinoy Dishes 
Deliciously Refined Filipino Cuisine

Flavours Gastronomica, one of our favorite restaurants
is known for their European and Mediterranean specialties,

 

…so we were happy to see that they added

several new Filipino dishes in their menu.

It came as a set meal called

Flavours’ Family Meals,

 

…that comes with a pitcher of Iced Tea,

 

…and a bowl of Flavored Rice. 

 

The Sinigang na Salmon was delicious as

the broth was not hideously sour, the veggies

were fresh, crunchy and not overcooked.

The downside of this otherwise tasty sinigang was

using belly strips instead of larger chunks of salmon

belly. The slim tender pieces of salmon have a melt

in the mouth consistency making it almost taste- free

that the sinigang appeared like it was a fishless dish.

I am addicted to Pancit Bato and I was glad that it

was included on the set meal. It was a delight to find

out that this is probably one of the best tasting versions

 of this region’s extremely popular indigenous noodle.

 

Pork Binagoongan was included on the meal deal,

since we are never bagoong fans, any dish with this

repulsive and smelly shrimp paste is always on the

last of our list. But the Flavours Gastronomica version

of this popular but malodorous dish is a work of magic.

The chef had incredibly concocted what seemed

to be an invisible bagoong. You don’t see it, but

the delightfully sweetish- salty taste is there, with

no dreadful smell, and not awfully salty at all.

 

Despite of already having sinigang we still ordered

Potato and Crab Chowder as my daughter craves

for this creamy and exceptionally delicious soup.

 

We also ordered Beef and Mushroom Casserole

for my young son, who dislikes salty and greasy

food which unfortunately most Filipino dishes are.

 

The Meat Overload Poutine that we ordered as appetizer was

a tremendously delicious dish. The French Fries was generously

bathed with richly flavored meat sauce, overflowing with ground

beef, bacon, tomatoes and topped with thick and tasty cream sauce. 

 

Flavours Gastronomica, being one of our favorite restaurants, 

we have already tried everything that had to offer in their menu. 

 

Their specialty are mostly European- Mediterranean dishes and

I am happy they have a new offering of local dishes for a change.
