NEW RESTO ALERT: The Waterside Restobar

words and photos by Irene Enriquez

There are a number of restaurants serving Mediterranean dishes around Manila. The Waterside Restobar is the newest and probably the most elegant addition. Located at the Sky Tower in Solaire Resort & Casino, it is an all-day dining restaurant which serves Latin American and Mediterranean specialties.



During the opening of Waterside Restobar, the guests were served a full dining course which included a variety of tapas,  beef brisket, chicken, and prawn. I am not a big fan of seafood, so I didn’t try it. However, the rest of the table loves it without a doubt! Along with the classic Mediterranean dishes, paella rice was served.

The meal was not all-meat, of course, as we also enjoyed a healthy serving of crunchy asparagus with lemon and goat milk and crush carbonara potatoes. Honestly, it was my favorite among all the dishes that graced my plate.  Mediterranean food is actually known for its health benefits. For one thing, olive oil is an integral part of this type of cuisine. More importantly, meat is always paired with generous servings of vegetables. Even the dessert looks and feels healthy. For dessert, some guests were served the cholcate tart while the others were delighted by the  pineapple ravioli. I was served the pineapple ravioli, which was perfect for a health buff and sweet tooth like me.

The interior design of Waterside Restobar has been just as lavish as its food serving. First off, dining in the restobar allows you to experience a bayside ambience. Posh furniture fills the place and even the utensils and napkins are impressive. If you want to make  a great impression on your first date, take him or her to Waterside Restobar; you will be immediately associated with class and elegance.

The next time you find yourself in Solaire, dropping by at Waterside Restobar is a must--whether you want to try the world class Mediterranean cuisine or simply enjoy a relaxing drink.

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
