Greenbelt 5, Level 3

.
The restaurant is a high-end version of Red Crab with a simple well lighted ambiance, wavy ceiling and a kitchen with circle windows that resembled those in the submarine. The service crew was friendly and you can easily feel at home despite its modern ambiance.
.
The food is a fusion of Kapampangan and European/ Mediterranean cuisine. I must admit, it was an interesting mix and the concept works. We ate on the first day of their opening and the appetizers, entrees were quwas not yet available) which were reasonably priced for a 5-course meal with a serving size that may be good for two people.

[Set C] Smoked Fish Samosas. with pureed roasted vegetables. The smoke fish pate used in the samosas was a winner. It was creamy and not malansa.
.
.
[Set B] Fried Froglegs with Peach Chipotle Sauce. Only the Capampangans can make this look and taste good. It taste like chicken with a texture of seafood meat. The sauce had a sweet peach taste.
Autumn Pumpkin Soup with Roasted Kasuy and Bacon. Order an extra serving of this soup because the pumpkin soup explodes with the accent taste of the kasuy and crispy texture of bacon.

[Set C] Warm Saluyot Salad with Wild Berry Vinaigrette. Just a friendly advise from a blogger, include more saluyot leaves into the salad and please improve the vinaigrette.
.
.
[Set B] Grilled Chicken Couscous Salad with Herb-Yogurt Dressing. The chicken and couscous mix was devastated by the herb yogurt dressing. I love couscous and this was not the way to enjoy it.
.
.
[Set C] Grilled Sarangani Bay Milkfish Belly with Lucban Longganiza Risotto. This looks like your ordinary bangus belly rice topping but the risotto and the sauce makes it a sosy italian version.
.
.
[Set B] Wild Boar Tapa with Sauteed Carrots, Raspberry Tea Couscous. I'm not a fan of wild boar tapa but I love almost anything with couscous. This is a perfect combination.

.
Dessert Sampler: Tropical Sorbet, Barako Cheesecake, Dried Mango Rum Pudding. They should hire a new pastry chef if they want to have awesome desserts. Forgettable dessert sampler.
