1st Colonial Grill Robinsons Place Naga: Delicious Tummy Bursting Feast

1^st Colonial Grill Robinsons Place
Delicious Tummy Bursting Feast 

It was Valentines Day and we decided to take

our employees and household staff to dinner.

We trooped to Robinson Place Naga,and 
reserved a long table at the1^st Colonial Grill.

 

1^st Colonial Grill is one of my family’s favorite

restaurants as it serves native Bicolano fusion

cuisine with brilliantly delicious modern twists.

We started our dinner with Halaan or clam soup

The gingery- garlicky taste was fused suspiciously

with Tinola as they added sili leaves made the soup

more flavorful. This is one of our favorite dishes

in this restaurant as it is appetizing and comforting

1^st Colonial Grill’s Bicol Express is a house specialty.

Serve with rice assures one of a filling, hearty and

big flavored meal. An addicting classic Bicolano

comfort food and a must try dish in this restaurant.

                                  

The Fried Chicken was naturally crispy and delicious.

No coating, no unhealthy seasoning, just plain, lightly

salted chicken that way Bicolanos cook it in the past.

 

Chop Suey sa Buko is an original Colonial Grill recipe.

This version had a refreshing twist as they added young

coconut meat and it was lightly flavored with coco milk.

 

The Humba was very tender and flavorful, a product

of patient slow-cooking. While it had the traditional

ingredients of fermented black beans,  soy sauce,

vinegar, garlic, black peppercorns and bay leaves,

dried banana flowers. was added in an attempt to fuse

with the native adobo. The result was sinfully delicious.

One should never miss the best Kandingga in the Philippines.

It is the dry type, sauceless bopis, stir fried in garlic, a liitled

salt and vinegar. it was exactly the way my mom used to cook

her kandingga at home in Polangui. It’s understandable as

1^st Colonial Grill originated from my home province in Albay.

We also brought in Masbate’s Lechon

which they served without extra charge.

Of course, dining in 1^st Colonial Grill is never

complete without their bestselling Tinapa Rice.

 

We concluded our dinner with

their locally flavored ice creams,

 

 

 

…the most popular of which is the Sili Ice Cream.

It was a satisfying, tummy bursting feast of

some of the most delicious Bicolano dishes

that only 1^st Colonial Grill could provide.
