Chef Doy’s @ Access: Ready to Eat Gourmet Food

Chef Doy’s @ Access
Ready to Eat Gourmet Food 

Chef Doy’s is my family’s favorite and this

blog’s most revered and admired restaurant. 

I have written numerous reviews ranting and raving

their awesome Pinoy fusion cuisine, but it is difficult

to dine there because to horrendous weekend traffic in

Magsaysay and their limited availability of parking space.

We were excited when we learned that Chef Doy’s

opened a branch at Bicol Access Health Centrum,

where there is no traffic and the parking is aplenty.

 

Chef Doy’s @ Access is a totally different

restaurant  to that of Chef Doy’s Magsaysay,

that serve food cooked fresh upon ordering,

…this one Access is a no frills,

and tidy upscale ‘carenderia’,

 

… that serves pre- cooked dishes

displayed in a glass-encased counter.

 

We started our dinner with Sinigang na Baboy.

It was very delicious and had Chef Doy’s touch

of just having the right degree of sourness not

enough to wrinkle one’s face in acerbic disgust.

Just as we were getting excited with what we expected

as an awesome  dinner in a restaurant with a prestigious

name everything that we ordered were served dead- cold

The Steamed Fish that was lying in a cold soy sauce,

 

The Kalderetang Baka was okay but it

would have tasted better when served hot.

 

The Chop Suey was tasty

but was also cold and uninviting.

When they served Kare- Kareng Pork Chop topped with

the curry paste that had turned into a cold gel, we finally

asked if they could serve something hot, it was the only time

that they volunteered that they could microwave the food for us.

They did- and was served piping hot and it was so good.

They also volunteered to do the same thing with

other dishes but we already consumed most of them.

While we appreciated the belated concern of the staff,

I suggested that they should have routinely warmed

the food before serving them in the first place.

 

Chef Doy’s @ Access is more of a food express

with a totally different concept compared to the

wonderful Chef Doy’s Magsaysay, the best restaurant

in Bicol that serves awesome Filipino fusion cuisine
