A high end market place type food hall that is the go to place right now. My first impression was a wow with the ambiance and the varied cuisine choices. My kids and I then went around to select their meal.

My daughter went with the Thai stall and ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai. My son went for Japanese and their Tonkatsu Ramen. I went for the Angus Belly Lechon.

First off, I found the prices to be a bit high for the concept especially for the added 6% service charge for the common service. There was no one to serve water when we sat. I guess they push you to order drinks. And also no one to clear your dishes after you finish.

Second, when you get your food, you start to question what you paid for. Average of about P500 per dish. Shrimp Pad Thai was just plain Jane and nothing special to go back for. It smelled too fishy in a wrong way and my daughter only ate half. It seemed to lack Nam Pla fish sauce, tamarind flavoring and shrimp head essence. Also no peanuts. Did not seem authentic.

The Tonkatsu Ramen was so-so okay but if you compare it to established Ramen places it is a tad expensive. Their broth was rich and tasty with the noodle perfectly chewy. The egg was done well and the pork okay.

The Angus belly was a big disappointment. The beef was pre-cut cut way too small to enjoy even with a mouthful and tasted like generic broiled beef. The only reason you know it is Angus is that it is tender not from any special taste. The eggplant with baba ganoush was the star of the dish. Their lechon sauces were okay and they go with brown rice. The white adobo sauce was a mayo-vinegar concoction. So mayo haters beware. But too much sidings and too little beef for the price.

The Worksop cake place was the other star of this lunch. My kids had the brownies and I had the Manchego cheesecake. Perfection is all I can say.

I may seem to be the only average reviewer but maybe I should have tried the tacos and the paella. There probably was a reason their lines were longer. Will update my review after I try them.
