Fish out of water

  We’re back to our Friday routine. We explored Greenbelt 5 and Fish out of water at the 3rd level was the unanimous choice.

Menu at Fish out of water which looks more like a glossy magazine. It also pays tribute to Filipino achievers on the flip side.

    Our appetizer. Fried crab ravioli with white cheese dipping sauce. 

    It turned out that the fried thing was the ravioli as a whole and not just the crab meat inside. This was a pleasant surprise being my first time to eat a crispy ravioli. The mushroom and onions were caramelized which add zest to the meal.

   Grilled Sarangani bay milkfish belly with Lucban longanisa risotto. 

   Lisette and Dondee said this really smelled good. I didn’t smell it, olfaction being my weakest sense. Finding longanisa bits in the risotto was a challenge so you’ll really need the bangus to eat it with. The fish was a little dry but nonetheless delicious. 

   Eggplant zucchini parmigiana on top of aglio oglio spaghetti. 

   So creamy. How can something without meat be that delicious?

   Tuna burger with barbecue mayo. Served with clam and bacon chowder.

   Listed under Kid’s menu, this is delicious but we have doubts if kids will agree. The chowder needs a little more time on the fire to thicken. 

   Our dessert. Trio of creme brulee - pineapple, chocnut and guava. 

   I’m not really a fan of pineapple but this one is good. Just the right sweetness and not too many fibers. Chocnut…. very chocnut-ty. The guava creme brulee was the surprise. If you are from Bicol then you must have tasted the ginataang bayabas -flesh of ripe guava fruit cooked in coconut milk and sugar over low fire. This tastes just like that….with tons of sugar more. 

   We’ll definitely dine again at this restaurant. I just hope they have a proper table cloth and not just some brown paper.
