  • A friend and I went for lunch today to Gingerroot. They had what looked like a buffet but they called it 'combination' (means it is not all-u-can-eat), though you could do the a-la-carte menu. They had about 7 options at the buffet-looking counter - all contained 'meat' (shrimp, pork, chicken, fish, etc). I had the Laing (coconut milk w/ shrimp and taro leaves w/ pork bits) and the Chicken Adobo. The lady (maybe the owner) was very friendly and was very welcoming and even gave us little plates to sample whatever we wanted to sample before we ordered - that was really helpful! I absolutely LOVED my chicken adobo - it had so much flavor that I found myself sucking on the chicken fat just to get more of that flavoring. Sadly, after I devoured the chicken, I started on the Laing and found I could not stomach it....at alllll. I drank some water and gave it another shot.. nope, not going down. I think it was the stark flavor difference between the chicken and the Laing that made my nostrils pick up something in the Laing that just did not appeal to me.. maybe it was the fishyness of the shrimp, or maybe the slight tang/bitterness of the taro leaves... or the smell of pork fat mixed with coconut milk.... not sure, but when I taste-tested it earlier, i was excited to eat it... after the chicken, I couldn't even smell it .. something was so off-putting. How odd is that? Anyway, i can't hold that against them - I approved it after tasting it at first... I guess something was obviously off with me. The bill was cheap (7ish or so for me) .. and I took a Turon to go (banana/jackfruit/wrapped in rice paper and fried to a crips/topped with browned sugar) ... so yummy! I would return becuase the service was great - friendly, not stingey with portions (generous), educational, genuine; and the chicken was stellar.. plus the other dish my friend got was also super tasty.. so I know there's more there I could definitely try next time.
