Cyma's Roka salata (solo-P245) was a fantastic choice! It’s a healthy mix of crisp romaine lettuce, arugula leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, shaved (not grated) parmesan, and candied walnuts. The salad had a smoky, nutty taste that made me fall in love with it. Drizzled with a special vinaigrette, it’s soooooo good that I could have orderedhome with a satisfied grin on my face. So many people have been raving about the spinach and artichoke fondue (P280) so we tried it as well.

The fondue was really cheesy and creamy–dip the pita in it and you’ve got instant cheese pizza. It’s a delightful appetizer but very, very filling. I ordered the steak souvlaki (P360) and it didn’t disappoint me. The meat was incredibly succulent and the herbs and spices in the sauce lent a unique flavor to the skewer. The serving’s really huge so two or three persons can actually partake of the meat. We asked for the flaming mangoes (P180) for dessert and we were in for a treat. It’s a piece of one whole peeled mango, soaked in caramelized sugar and dusted with cinnamon powder, placed on a hot plate and then flambéed (served in flaming liquor). It came with a bowl of vanilla ice cream. What you do is put slices of mango onto your plate and top it with a scoop of ice cream and you’ve got a hot and cold dessert that’s quite different, at least.
